Steamless Bong

[Jesstar]

Hey guys,

I love my bong hit but am getting a little heavy in the chest from the constant barrage of liquid.

Has anyone experimented with making steam-catching attachments or internals to lessen the liquid?

I heard rice could be a good way but that would really require a second chamber which is always a touch cumbersome for your everyday..

Any ideas or advice would be grand!

Kind regards,

J.

 

[Jim Squirryl]

I would recommend a taller bong

 

[Jesstar]

Has anyone had any experience with carbon filters? I'm thinking about making one. Just thinking it would be better after the water to act as a sponge for the steam as well? Also, the ones by Roor for example, where does the ash go??

Ta my loves.

What are you heating your herbs with, a flamethrower?

To create steam, the water must be heated to 212F/100C. I don't think that's possible in a bong when used correctly. I have a small 9" tall bong, and have never inhaled steam.

Is there a chance you're overfilling it? You don't need much more than the submerge the end of the bowl tube..

 

[Jesstar]

Yeah, I've got the right amount of water in there. I suppose scientifically speaking Antics, You're right. It wouldn't be steam but rather tiny droplets of water put in the smoke through the bubbling. I wonder if a diffuser would make this lesser or more.. Hmm..

 

[Antics]

I'm not sure about what diffusers do, haven't used one myself..

Have you had this problem with one specific bong? Every bong? Only certain ones?

Im just finding out that bongs or bubblers don't work well for me, every time I use one for more then one session I'm stuck spending the next few days hacking up fluid and junk from my lungs. I can only assume that water is getting in the smoke and causing this.

 

[Jesstar]

Yeah it's every billy, Antics.

I agree with you BT, although I am quite a heavy smoker..
I'm always on the lookout for a more effective and/or less harmful way of enjoying my herbals..

 

[Antics]

Why not just roll one then? No harm in that if you're using natural papers.

Pipes work too.

 

[Jesstar]

Because bro! If I rolled all the time, my weekly corn allowance would be up in smoke in minutes.
I'm a little too seasoned for J's.. Although in a few months I hope to be a little more bud rich. Hehe

You sound like me, only special occasions can afford a J.

 

[Jesstar]

Zackly BlazinThat.. Sad but true.
I'd love to hear from anyone with especially economical methods of herb enjoyment.
I was initially keen on the active carbon chamber because my thoughts are the less harsh, more approachable methods of Mary talks are going to be easier for the lungs to absorb.. Maybe not, I'm not expert..

Check out the magic flight launch box. Small portable vaporizer that does dry herb, and cheap compared to most. The guys who treat patients usually give them those, so it's good

 

[Jesstar]

I've seen those, PeytonManning. I haven't tried one yet. I had the pleasure of trying a hit from a WISPR 2. Being butane driven, that well exceeded my expectations. A very light, tasty high.
Has anyone used The Magic Flight Launch Box? I'd be keen to hear about the hit..

Thanks for chatting, all.

[theengineer]

you should definitely check out the Vapman; it is gas powered, but it is a clean burning pre-heat system that quite simply hits like a pipe, but is a vape, try one

 

[Jesstar]

That's pretty cool. I just watched a movie on it. So talking vapes then, what's are people's thoughts on the best portable? Perhaps I'll switch to a portable with home use abilities..

-J.

 

[theengineer]

the best portables, in my opinion, are the Vapman, and the Firefly, but if you're after a good desktop unit, that works similarly to a bong/pipe, and hits like one, get a Silver Surfer

 

[SmokeCartel]

There are a lot of glass blowers who are making splash guards built into their water pipes now. The splash guard will relieve the issues you are experiencing of drawing up water with your hit.

 

[Smokin Js]

You could always try some Diffusion beads in your pipe. They are small spheres that help break up your smoke so it'll cool efficiently. They also have a side benefit of helping keep your pipe clean and can help stop water from splashing all the way up the neck of your pipe.

And those ones glow in the dark.

+1 on the taller bong idea.
