What gets you more stoned...pipe or bong?

I think bongs get me super blazed for an hour or so then I go back to baseline.....with pipes though I get a nice consistent high longer than a bong.
 
scientifically they say bongs get you not as high cause of the ratio or whatever... but like a lot of people have been saying, they get you higher, which I agree with because you're taking much bigger hits at a time. It's like chugging a couple beers in a row vs. drinking them over time- which gets you drunker?
 
A pipe is more efficient, but bongs get me wrecked. Although more THC makes it from bowl to lungs though a pipe, smoking through a bong allows you to inhale more smoke at once, which gets you higher faster. In general, a good bong will do the job quicker, but smoking a pipe is a lot easier on the stash.

Personally, I don't think that bongs significantly reduce the THC in the smoke, but remove ash and solid particulate and cool the smoke. Sure, some THC ends up in the water, but since THC isn't particularly soluable in water I doubt it is very much. You might have some problems if you tried to filter though vegetable oil, though. Any loss of THC is totally made up for, in my mind, by how much easier on my lungs a bong is.

alot of people in this thread have said that water filters smoke. this has never made any sense to me. does the smoke actually pass through the water the same way smoke would pass through, say, a paper towel? it always seemed like the smoke went around the water, not through it.

anyone? this has been bugging me for years as i have never had a concrete answer

If there is water in your bong how the fuck would it go around lol. i agree bongs are better

You're wrong. There are studies which show that water removes more THC than ash and particulate matter.

The study results are obviously discomforting to waterpipe enthusiasts, many of whom prefer the cooler, milder smoke they produce, and have naturally assumed it is also more healthful. Unfortunately, however, the study indicates that waterpipes may actually be counterproductive in increasing consumption of carcinogenic tars.

Small Pipe

Lately I've been smoking out of a small screw-together pipe. It looks kinda like a crack pipe lol. Anyway, it gets me as high as I wanna be, but I feel different after smoking out of my pipe than I do after smoking a joint. Joints hit me way way harder but wear off quicker. So I guess my question is, is my pipe still effective? It hits pretty hard, and I just cleaned it out.
 
UTFSE
(use the frikkin search engine)

there is already a couple of big-ish threads on the efficiency of bongs>joints>pipes.

bongs are most efficient. no smoke lost or wasted.
uses far less weed.
gets you far higher on a lesser amount.


and the only person who can tell if your pipe is effective is YOU

i dont know about that

the same amount of weed can be put in my hand pipe n it takes four hits to cash the bowl, just cuz of the nature of a dry pipe rip

the same amount of weed n my bong can be cleared in one rip

i do agree that a bong with get you higher on the same amount for whatever reason (cuz technically the water does collect some thc apparently) cuz just takin one huge rip to the face tends to get me higher then multiple hits of a pipe or joint even
 
I think this is all very subjective, everyone I know has a different opinion on it. But, my bong generally eats up weed way quicker than my pipe. And OP, I would get a glass pipe, the metal ones are harder to keep clean and IME start to taste bad after a while...a glass-blower I happen to know told me that you can also be inhaling toxins by lighting the metal, but I don't have a source for that one.



EDIT: I merged this thread into the larger thread, so no need to keep it linked.

I generally find:

Pipe is a faster onset, gives a nice taste, faster, allows for larger hits and so gets me more stoned.

Joint has a much slower onset, allows for relaxing with friends and doesn't get me that stoned at all really.

Pipe is my smoking method of choice over a spliff if I wish for my weed to last, a joint is for socializing.
 
I like a joint to get high, and a pipe to stay there.

Smoking a j doesn't do much for me if I'm already high, and I never get as high on a pipe alone.

I think it's because when I smoke a j, I have to puff it the entire time it's burning. With a pipe I'll take a toke, set it down and start doing something and forget to keep getting high...
 
if you packed the same amount in a bong or a bowl, it would be the same high. the only different factors are bongs getting the THC in your brain faster, and bowls take longer. so in retrospect they would both be the same.
 
Bongs get me higher for sure. I smoked joints and blunts for about 2 months straight without hitting a pipe (ok maybe 1 or 2 pipes) and now I find that pipes can barely get me high. Obviously I can get high on pipes, but it's less enjoyable and I feel like I have to smoke a bunch of bowls to achieve the same high as a joint/blunt would get me. Maybe it's due to the fact that I smoke gram joints and don't have a bowl that packs that much anymore.

Bongs never fail me though.
 
bongs get me ripped after one bowl. But I have so much more fun tasting and passing a pipe. It just feels like that (and rolling it up) is the way marijuana was meant to be smoked.
 
For me? A bong, be it the glass kind or the gravity bong, it hits me hard and fast, and after a little bit I get into the lazy, hazy mind-scrambled high. Whereas with a pipe, the high might not be as intense at first, but it lasts longer before I get to that burnout point.

Technically, a bong would get me "higher," but I prefer to be coasting along as opposed to rapidly climbing then going down more quickly than I'd like.
