My alternative approach to smoking.

[Stregobor]

Hello everyone,

First forum post:
I'm not an avid marijuana smoker, but I do try to optimize every experience I indulge in. There is a bong concept I haven't seen anywhere online before, one that mimmicks a gravity bong by forcing smoke or vapor into the user's lungs.

I wanted one that would both pass the smoke through water first, and then have a force behind it to drive as deep as possible

I have attached a photograph of an easy DIY bong I've made, using a pull cylinder similar to a syringe to drive smoke in during the inhale, similar to the function of a dry-powder albuterol inhaler.

I have not seen any designs similar to this online, please direct me to any if I am wrong.

I call this bong the "Bearded Nessie".

That is an interesting looking rig.

I would remember that any gravity bong is going to choke out the oxygen in your lungs and lead to a generally unpleasant experience.

Efficient? yes absolutely
Pleasant? not at all

If you are looking to have the least unpleasant experience I would just go with a nicer bong or water pipe that filters thoroughly and can utilize ice.

I have been on this quest before and discovered there is an optimum point where efficiency and "not shitty experience" line meet and for me its with a regular bong. Gravity bongs are efficient as hell but I don't want to drink the most efficient liquor because drinking everclear sucks. I started at gravity bongs and worked my way down to what works best for me.

Enjoy the process! Hope this helped!

Thanks everyone for the responses.

I know this is not the most pleasant experience possible, but it's a simple way of making a gravity bong concept much easier on the lungs.

..I don't personally feel that the extra force chokes out any oxygen, but then again, the hit is filtered through ice water. The walls of the sphere have freezer gel sealed inside of them, meaning the chamber can be frozen prior to use and maintain a very cold temperature with or without ice in it.

The main point of this rig is to be a gravity bong in practice, whilst instead filtering the smoke and not needing to bend over a table, raising and lowering a bucket piece to do so.

Hey brother, it's all good. It is great to get creative and if you managed to put together a rig that works for you than that is awesome. Keep doing your thing and having fun with it, thanks for sharing. I still think it looks pretty cool.
