Here's a cool little article I just found evaluating the the/tar ratios of assorted smoking utensils I know everyone says you can't drink your bong water because the isn't water soluble but according to this it actually can e, by the spuds of it it's not actually because of the molecular structure of the but because of its characteristics. Which kind of sucks...because i only smoke bongs unless I'm running around.

This sucks. I just got a Pax 2 vaporizer to make up for the fact that I smoke cigarettes. (I hate smoking cigarettes btw, but it calms me down when I can't blaze at work) Although not mentioned in the study, I'd imagine that the
gas mask bong that I typically smoke out of, would obviously fall under the category of water pipes. However, gas mask bongs typically have additional filtration due to the design in it's mouthpiece, and typically require only 1-2 hits to get really baked since the mask keeps in the smoke. I'm curious if the same conclusion can be reached smoking from bongs such as these in comparison to standard bongs/water pipes.
"The reason is that waterpipes filter out proportionately more psychoactive THC than they do other tars, thereby requiring users to smoke more to reach their desired high.The study does not rule out the possibility that waterpipes could have other benefits, such as filtering out noxious gases, but it suggests that other methods, such as the use of high potency pot, vaporizers, or oral ingestion, are needed to avoid harmful toxins in marijuana smoke."
Could gas mask bongs filter out the noxious gases and reduce toxins?
. I can't stand the smell of bong water, constantly cleaning mine
