Only smoking using waterfalls?

In college I was introduced to the "sobe" aka waterfall, and it is an entirely different world of smoking than a pipe/blunt/joint/whatever. Now even though I have multiple very nice pipes that I've gotten from festies, and a vape, I use my Arizona Waterfall literally 100% of the time, unless my friends are around. I can't justify ever smoking a j or blunt because it uses so much more pot and i'd run out so much faster. I only have access to expensive chronic though so that also plays a large role.

Anyone else here only smoke out of waterfalls? To this day I've still never met anyone that smokes like I do, only using waterfalls.
 
My friend seems to. Although I don't really understand it. Fair enough pipes reduce some of the smoke as it builds on the sides of it as resin. But it's not like the amount is even noticeable.
In my opinion I'd take the more enjoyable smoking method over such minute differences in efficiency. I find waterfalls are too quick to really enjoy the smoke, it's more just a way to get high as quickly as possible. But then that isn't a bad thing at all. It's just in my opinion; half the fun of smoking, is the act of smoking.

You only need literally a pinch for a waterfall, that wouldn't work to well with a bowl.
 
ahhh this thread takes me back to my waterfall days...

but waterfalls are definitely a really really efficient way of getting really high on less weed. but i side with number nine here. bongs are essentially the same as waterfalls (in that smoke builds in a large chamber and is then cleared), but are more fun to smoke and get you higher. and i too found that prolonged waterfall use really did take away some of the enjoyment. i mean i still would get really high but to me, just cooling out and actually smoking is a really fun/social/overall awesome time
 
I use the same method as you but I use a gravity bong. And you are the only one I know that does the same thing as me for the same resin. All you gatta do is barley put any weed but enough for a fatter hit then a usual one rip it hold it in as long as you can and your ripped! Repeat the procees 20 min. Later and it gets you blazed with plenty of more highs in you sack. And then when you do run out you can scrape your piece(homemade pieces are incredibly easy to get resin out of) and then got another high or 2 to last you.
The method of gravity pulling flame down has really roughy me to conserve

I dont see how its better then a big steamroller or bong so long as you dont let it cherry up a bunch
 
I agree with the guy talking about the G.B, its such an efficient method of getting high. 3 pinches can have you STRAIGHT. All I smoke from anymore. The high is much more intense, and making your GB efficient is almost an artform. Achieving the perfect levels of suction and air-tightness. I love gary (my gb).

Because other than "knife hits", I don't think there is ANY way of smoking where you can get blitzed from literally one pitch? A bong needs as much pot as a decent sized bowl. You could probably get 5-10 waterfalls off of the amount of weed you need to pack one bong hit.

Knife hits are arguably more efficient but what a friggin PITA they are, and stoned people f'ing around with two red hot knives probably isn't the best idea.

What do you guys use to make them? Back in college we just cut a 2 liter soda bottle in half, and then filled a small garbage can or something. I wouldn't mind having another GB :)
 
i love makin GB's melt the lid shove the cone peace in melt a small hole in the bottom of the bottle pack the weed fill the bottle up with water cover the hole with ya finger screw the lid on take ya finger off put a lighter ontop of the weed for a sec let the water drain take lid of and suck hard!
 
I hate, hate, HATE waterfalls, gravity bongs and all sorts of contraptions such as these. It's quite common in Finland for people to smoke really crappy, soapy hash from waterfalls. Some people exclusively smoke from those, or just use them really often, so you're not the only one.

I don't like it at all and may even turn down a free smoke (MAY, not "will" or "always") if it's coming from one of those. Smoking from a joint, pipe or bong is a pleasurable activity - from a waterfall, the smoking is more like a feat of strength or an endurance test. You get smashed with a huge volume of smoke and you gotta hold it in. After a couple of minutes you can start enjoying. With a doobie, I enjoy every second from when I start grinding up the herb to a couple of hours after I take the last puffs.

I understand the weed conservation argument, but I guess I'm not stingy enough with my weed. The tiny amount you save isn't worth the hassle or the unpleasant smoking, in my opinion.

If I had a tiny little pinch of weed, really needed to get high, and had no way to get any more weed from anywhere, I would consider it.

bullshit. when i smoke bongs the bowl i use is tiny. literally a teeny pinch and thats it packed full ready to go.
cream that shit and snap it and you are FUCKED.

fair play though if youve only seen big bowls on bongs.
remember, a GB is just a bong that pulls the smoke for you.

I'm sorry but thats just a ridiculous statement. so your saying that if you were to rip a .2 g hit in one rip out of a bong, that if u took .02 gs out of a waterfall you would be just as ripped, no. bongs are the exact same thing as waterfalls but in a different format.

Take a socket wrench tip (4.5mm works best) melt or carve with a knife (I use a combination) into a 2 liter ti. Make sure that the plastic stretchs with the tip, for optimal air tightness. You wanna cut the bottle as low as possible so you can clear the bowl. You also want the water up pretty high. That's about it. Fuck with it and adjust it to your likes. And to the guy talking about the gb taking as much as a bowl. Not hardly. Bowls barely get ne high and joints catch me a small buzz. 2 gb's will have me content.

yea but if I put .2 in a gravity bong and .2 in a steam roller and take it all in one rip its gonna be exactly the same amount of smoke going into my lungs, meaning no difference at all. Just cause you individually load a smaller amount of weed for each hit doesnt mean youre actually using less weed it just makes you go slower. Instead of feeding my bong one pinch at a time I pack a whole bowl and snuff out the cherry so I dont waste any. Then I sit down and take rips whenever I feel like it without having to dick around loading a pinch everytime.
 
dude the point is... one rip in a bong equals one bowl [that would require multiple hits] out of a pipe. not repetitive snaps
 
I just had to look up what a waterfall was....

Let me get this straight, make sure I understand this...

So, it's a plastic bottle, with a hole in the bottom, and a bowl affixed in place of the cap, usually using tack-it or similar sticky stuff.... you then fill it with water, light the bowl, and drain the water, and inhale the smoke that now fills the bottle.

So, it's like a bong, only without water, with a gravity-feed to fill the chamber, and with the whole thing made out of improvised materials that probably off-gas when heated?

Doesn't the smoke taste nasty, what with the plastic chamber and whatever sealant is used to secure the bowl, and the lack of water to filter it through?
 
^The plastic container isn't exposed to any heat if you build it properly, so you don't taste it.

Gravity bongs don't filter the smoke through water and bongs do, making gravity bongs at least somewhat more efficient.
