Bongwater Alternatives (merged)

THC is only slightly soluble in 100 proof vodka (I've tried getting it in there, takes FOREVER), anything weaker than this and I wouldn't worry about it. Actually, I wouldn't be suprised if pure alcohol trapped about the same amount of THC as water.
 
Not that you would ever want to use pure alcohol in your bong...unless you wanna see some really cool fireballs.

True. I've tried it with cocktail drinks (don't ask) and got high. It hits incredibly smooth, no kidding.. Though I only recommend doing this if you've got a homemade bong.
 
I rather put stuff like that ina bottle and keep the bong nice and clean like everyone else is saying. Though a little bit of mouthwash in the bong never hurt anybody...
 
I extensively clean my bong after every use....it gets to be a pain in the ass, but i take pride in my glass....sparkeling like new every time....it also makes the bud taste better when the bowl isnt all resinated....so i clean it out with alcohol every time....therefore, it doesnt really matter what kind of liquid i put in it, as long as it tastes good and hits smooth....

man, carbonated drinks aren't good for bongs. I remember smoking one with coke or something like that, i could hardly breathe for like 2 minutes, everyone who had a cone choked on it. Man, i dont know how you liked vanilla coke lol
 
I've smoked it with coke and it wasn't bad at all cold, but with warm soda its harsh and a bit nasty... especially the smell of the bong. It's reaaally noticeable, and you should empty and clean it if you try sodas in the bong heh... but like Blowmonkey said, it should only be done with homemades. Who wants to sticky up a glass bong?

Ive also tried grape juice and mouthwash. Not bad either, but nothing so far has beaten water. Honestly, if you want something smooth and with taste, just smoke a philly of your preferred flavor.
 
I like to use orange pop. I once used R&R(Royal Reserve) and it tasted like shyt, i don't no if it got me more ripped i can't really remember, but i guess it doesn't really matter wut substance u use for a filter on a bong it all ends up the same way in the end.
 
only other things i have tried are mouthwash and milk

mouthwash was sweet, minty fresh for a couple of cones, then its all downhill from there i thought

milk was fucked... just bubbled up into my mouth.... hence the experiment ended, and i went back to water...... been there ever since
 
I don't know if you guys have done this but I usually put a couple of drops of LISTERINE in my bong water. You get nice, refreshing hits.

Don't pour a lot...maybe a teaspoon?
 
I think we may have something to learn from hookah-smoking adepts. I'm a huge fan of the hookah and upon doing research and talking to avid hookah smokers (and I'm talking the real shit, not some all-glass-rubber-hose garbage or shitass Hookah Brothers hookahs), I learned that they use several different recipies for the hookah water. Often they use spices, lemon water, things of that nature. What I love, when smoking hookah, is using a milk & icewater mix (you need to heavily dilute milk or it bubbles up). This might work well as bongwater - it really smoothes out the hookah smoke.

I think people exaggerate the solubility of THC in fats and alcohol - "highly soluble" doesn't necessarily mean "quickly soluble." I was worried that a shisha (molasses tobacco) & pot mix wouldn't get me as high because of the fat in milk absorbing THC, but it worked fine. I'd be interested to see how this combo works in a regular waterbong. For hookah I use maybe 1 part milk to 10 parts icewater, and this still bubbles up a bit, so experiment with ratios.
 
alright, fill your bong halfway with water.....go to the store and buy lye, which cost like 2 dollars....you then put 3 tablespoons of lye in, and little chunks of tinfoil....the resin sticks to the tinfoil and burns away due to the lye....it hits realllllll smooth, and leaves you with a clean peice.....

Now I hope you're not advocating smoking with lye & water in the bong. This sort of advice reminds me of some time that people I knew jokingly told a younger kid to clean his piece by boiling it in alcohol. He followed their advice and damn near burned his kitchen down.

If you're just talking about cleaning a piece with lye and water, well, that advice may be best suited for the other thread about that topic, though as long as we get to see pictures of the poor asshole who burns his or her lips off when lye splashes all over them...
 
i remember once my friends were trying to work out how to get the bong past her dad to fill it with water and i casually pointed out we could just use the metho bottle to smoke through instead and they both thought i was the most stupid. omg.. dont you know what would happen.. they were bitches so its funny but i can't believe they didn't find my hilirous joke funny
 
Has anyone tryed adding essential oils to their bong? I'm not talking massive quantities, just a little bit added with ice water for flavor. I have orange essential oil i think would taste great.
 
get a bottle, like a 500ml one and fill it half full of water, put it in the freezer for a bit and then take it out and shake the bottle so the ice breaks up, add some more water and then pour it into your bong, very smoooooth :)
