I made an okay plastic bottle bong and not sure if using that or smoking J's is the best way to get high without using too much weed

any opinions?
 
I reckon a bucket bong is fairly efficient. Easy to construct given only a cone piece, bucket and 2L bottle are required. This is a plus considering pipes, bongs and stuff are not available from head shops anymore, at least in this state :(
 
^ woah, no bongs and pipes available? Can't you just get them online or something?

Go with the bong if weed conservation is your goal. Don't joints make you feel fancy though? So much more enjoyable but so impractical.
 
I agree, go with the bong for conservation, you'll save a lot of weed.

I smoke joints, it's the only way to go for me. They're all mixed with tobacco, and other bluelighters can attest, they're a damn fine smoke. I conserve quite a bit of pot this way too.

@zagzig: What state are you in?
 
Yeah no bongs available in South Aus. Can still get them online though, not sure if it's totally legal (might only be illegal to sell not to buy or own?).

Bongs make weed last pretty well. If it's DIY just make sure it's relatively airtight, I've made that mistake before lol... ;)
 
If you're trying to conserve, I'd stick to a bong... however, if you're homemade device is plastic, I wouldn't use it often without making another one. I'm venturing it's just a water bottle with a bic stuck in it? Whichever it is, don't wanna put flame to plastic for to long.

i've been smokin for 2 years and i assume ur a youngin like me or u can't get a sufficient bong but.
Bongs all the way. i didn't realize how they really worked till i hit one and you can get way huger hits from ur nug cause the water cools the smoke (and filters out any nastys and tar)
joints are convenient but are quite wasteful... if you're just smoking to get yourself or a friend high bongs all the way.
it's a little tricky at first but once you get it it's awesome.

some tips
-opaque bic pen for the stem (the clear ones are more toxic)
-if you cant find a bowl, make a tinfoil funnel and tape it to the outside of the pen.
-MAKE A CARB. you need it.

the trick to hitting a bong is sucking in really fast when lighting the weed (that's what people mean when they say "Rip" a bong") and then take your finger off of the carb and actually inhale. it may not feel like you got anything but you'll breathe out hella smoke!

if you have any other ?'s feel free to PM me, i'm the master of making bongs and smoking devices from handheld stuff.
 
^AHEM. Bongs actually filter out a greater proportion of the THC than of the tar, so to get the same high you end up ingesting more tar.

One plastic milk bottle, an empty beer can and some tape is all I need to make an uber tooter.
 
the search bar can be found at the top of the CD main page. this exact topic has been covered many times already.
please use it in future to make sure the topic hasnt been covered, so as to not clutter up the forums :\

i refer OP to this thread for info on wastefulness;
http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/showthread.php?t=493228

for efficiency and making ones stash last longer, bongs are the way forward.
you use far less herb and get way way higher.
 
definitely make a gravity bong, really easy to make and a couple hits will get you ripped. joints waste so much weed IMO, especially if you're only smoking by yourself or with a couple other people.
 
i disagree pipes leave less waste product and a good glass pipe is very comparable with most bongs out there. adding to this is the moisture inherent in bong smoke is said to cause respiratory infection. To my knowledge no scientific studies have focused on this, but bhroncitis seems common in most smokers however i would hesitate to draw any conclusions. Most "Bong Hazzards" can be avoided by having the correct dimensions(Increased height) will eliminate any "splash" and distance your mouth from the water.

purley anecdotal but too common to ignore. i dont see much point in your retort, i edited my brain fart a minute after posting lol? I would say that anyone who understands the respiratory system can easily see that bongs cause excess moisture within your respiratory system, so your telling me this moisture is harmless?

sega420 that thread is 9 people saying how much they like gravs and how evil tobacco is. lol.

Can they? Howzat? Do you know what the moisture content of bong smoke is?

i have no figures, however if you smoke a bong all you need to do is look at it after a big sesh. you will likely notice some moisture at the top of your bong. Second up your inhaling not drinking, and also this can not be compared to inhaling and then "Puking" water up from say swimming, as that is usually not a chronic pattern of behaviour. in basic terms chronic bong usage can cause respiratory infection and this is due to moisture, the likelihood of this happening in casual smokers is quite low. The above is purely anecdotal but far too common to ignore.

p.s. i find northen europeans to be far too prompt, efficient and polite lol. :p =D
