in my specific case and many others that use meth bongs, i’d use a torch bc burning it doesn’t matter as much in a bong. that repeated heat definitely ends up warming up everything else in the bong. from what i’ve been told, the meth vapor gets filtered via the rapidly bubbling water, leaving behind some cut/additives (which is why i’d only evaporate the water i’ve smoked good clear in, if it’s shitty you’re gonna get a lot of cut) as well as some clear, then when you suck the vapor through you do get a stronger hit with better absorption due to increased purity but you still leave some behind. the meth gets pretty hot and melts (even just with a normal lighter) and when that hot vapor hits your water it’ll warm it up. if you use cooler water it’ll blow bigger clouds because of the meth starting to re-crystallize.I’m totally not trying to sound argumentative at all, please forgive me if I come off that way. But in order for water to vaporize, it needs to be heated. We’re not heating the water, just the shards. The cloud from the bowl to the water is no hotter than if it were going straight into your mouth. We’d definitely know if we were inhaling something hot enough to vaporize water. I’m not trying to say you’re wrong because I know I’m not usually right. I’m wondering if you know of another way bong water would vaporize?
tl;dr: the water heats and evaporates due to repeatedly putting heat to the bubble, also due to hot meth and vapor, if the temp of the water is cool enough it will also produce a lot of vapor due to recrystallization (which is also the case with pipes as we all know), and i’m sure the increased purity also helps.
also, you’re fine! i haven’t interpreted any of this as being argumentative or anything. valid questions, i’m not a scientist but i’m mostly speaking from personal experience and research. due to neither of us having enough knowledge on the exact science behind it, i’m sure nobody is fully wrong nor fully right in this situation. nobody can know everything lol
