I smoked out of those cheep ass metal pipes you pick up at the corner store for $7 with a 5 pack of screens. I have tried all kinds of implements for smoking from metal pipe, one hitter bats, bubblers, wooden pipes, stone pipes, glass etc.
I have noticed in the last couple month that I really love my bong. Bubbler is next in line, Pipe a very close third place & a joint being the last think I want to smoke.
For some reason I seldom get buzzed off joints & never as high as with the bong.
I even tried making some real bitchen ones. Ground up N.L. weed, sprinkled with keef & a touch of nice hash chopped into tiny balls through out & then, just for good measure, I used RAW papers with a nice smear of honey oil.
Should have been baked really nicely... wasn't...
I put a nug of weed in my bong (currently N.L.#5 grown under CFLS or Nirvana Bubbalicious grown under HPS) & by the time I'm done the bowl (small one, not big bowl) I'm toasted.. nicely toasted..
I cant explain it but I suspect it may have something to do with time. I smoke a joint in say 5 minutes. I smoke the bong over say 10-15 minutes. Less medicine, but more time to absorb maybe?
I assume when you inhale the smoke coats the inside of your lungs where it is absorbed. Once the lungs are coated they cant receive any more, so more smoke in the lungs is not the answer. Less tokes over a longer time means coated lungs get clean & then next hit.
Anyone have any other explanations?? Perhaps I should start a thread..
