Whats a safe alternative to water for my bong?

When I run out of water, I just use air.

It works really well.

If you are thinking about trying some gasoline or something in that bong, be sure you video. It will go viral in an hour.
 
^Wouldn't vodka make the smoke weaker by absorbing more cannabinoids than water? Suppose you still could use it anyway.

I've only used water on bongs. On hookahs though I've used water and orange juice and tried both with/without ice and milk. A lot of people put a tablespoon or 3 of milk into their hookah to supposedly make the hits thicker. I've heard of people using various juices and even soda. Water works perfectly well though.
 
i used to know people that used (dry, uncooked) rice instead of bong water. dunno about safe...but it worked, i guess.
 
milk or juice works fine. it bubbles up if you've got a smaller bong though, gets in your mouth, and doesn't taste very good.
 
Water is the best option. I have seen some people use carbonated water if they get bored of the "normal" stuff.

Avoid:
Fruit juice, sugary drinks, non-diet sodas - the sugars will make the tar doubly hard to clean, and it results in super nasty bong water
Alcoholic drinks - THC dissolves in alcohol!
Milk or cream (except skim I guess) - THC dissolves in fat!
Oils - Same deal!

Things to try that won't totally fuck your bong may include:
Saltwater (some tars are less soluble in brine)
Glycerin (nasty though)
Ice cubes/chipped ice
Diet soda
 
snow or crushed ice is pretty badass ;p or just use ice cold water

just occurred to me, how would mineral water worked instead of tap water? sparkling mineral water?

while this may be true it generally requires steaming, lots of time, and soaking of actual buds. Smoke may catch some some of the fatty lipids but otherwise, I'm going to go ahead and say you won't notice a difference in high. I mean, technically you are right, but also technically, you shouldn't give a fuck :P Biggest issue with milk is it foams right on up your tube.

Otherwise, that list pretty much sums everything up.

If it's too fizzy it gives your bud an odd taste and gives me a tickle in my throat, but my buddy uses whatever the fizzy flavored water is all the time. I'm not a big fan but it worked just fine. Keep away from sugary ones because, like said above, it will make your bong get flithly and sticky fast.
 
for some raisin i don't think inhaling a burning substance though high proof alcohol into your lungs sounds like a good idea. i vote warm water with ice in the ice catch / cold water the second perc if you have one
 
May I ask why you want to put stuff other than water in your bong?

I mean, are you looking to jazz up your night?

I mean i get tired of nasty bong water, but putting some other liquid in there isnt gonna prevent it from getting nasty and still possibly spilling on your shit. And honestly the only thing worse than spilled bong water is spilled bong juice which can really stain and be much harder to get out of stuff.
 
I'm struggling to figure out, why you would want to use something else? other than water... not that I'm trying to be offensive; I'm just curious.

I guess, as others have mentioned, that I would also recommend.

Ice
Snow
Beer/Lager/Bitter

I wouldn't really recommend fruit juices, more for the cleaning aspect afterwards. STICKY!

Honestly... just use water, or no water or ice. Though I suppose that doesn't answer your question sorry. hehe.

Peace.
 
Add water to bong, add Mio Water Enhancer to bongwater, come back to this thread and let us know if it was similar to juice or better or what. I know that shit tastes fuckin' great with some water, though.
 
diffuser beads, i personally havent tried them but i have heard they work well but im not quite sure myself.

can google them and figure out more about them maybe find some reviews, i know some head shops have them.

other than regular water iv just used a bong/bubbler without water its more harsh for me though gotta take smaller "rips".
 
Me and my friend smoked with Red Kool Aid in my bong and it tasted like shit. I took one hit and dumped it.

also lol at the snow comment.

snow=water
 
I've tried non-alcoholic mouthwash before. It actually tasted quite decent.

Other than that, not much, at least for any good reasons.
 
I'm just looking for something different then just water. I've tried snapple/water which is OK. I've aslo tried water/mio which is a little better. But I am starting to realize that water is the best haha. You start to get curious awhile. You'd figure there would be plenty of water enhancers made specially for smoking.
 
Doesn't fizzy water make you breathless because of the CO2?

Personally if I was concerned about the taste I would just get better weed if I could but maybe that's just me. I appreciate that's not always possible though.
