Your Step-by-Step Guide to the Perfect First-Time Bong

Your Step-by-Step Guide to the Perfect First-Time Bong

Maybe you've had a few joints in your time. You enjoyed it, and, fingers crossed, it has recently become legal in your state or nation. You're aware that the advantages much outweigh the drawbacks, and you're considering increasing your cigarette consumption! You've seen a bong in action on TV, but you're not sure what it takes to make one.

Have you tried looking at bongs but been overwhelmed by the designs, attachments, and functions you're unfamiliar with? So, in this article, we'll show you how to use a bong and how to choose the appropriate one for you.

What Ingredients Go Into a Bong?

First and first, let's go through the various pieces of a bong so you know precisely what you're looking at and what to look for when purchasing one. Bongs are available in a variety of forms and sizes, as well as numerous attachments, accessories, and add-ons. Check out these links for a comprehensive list of high-quality bongs.

The Subway

The bong's main body and the place where smoke accumulates. It's also referred to as the chamber. It's usually attached to the base and runs straight up to the mouthpiece.

The Carburator is a device that burns fuel.

In a simple bong, there's a tiny air hole that, when pressed, generates a vacuum in the chamber, which is how you collect the smoke (also known as "cooking" the chamber). This is referred to as the carburator, carb-hole, or shotgun hole. When you breathe in while simultaneously releasing the air-hole, all of the cooled smoke rushes into your lungs for a tremendous dose.

The Foundation

This is where the smoke enters the bong and cools before being absorbed in the tube. It is almost usually filled with water. It also purifies the smoke by eliminating harmful pollutants. The smoke thickens as it rises into the tube, making you feel it more as it fills your lungs. The difference between most of the types of bongs now on the market is the size and form of the base relative to the tube.

After your session, you'll see that the bong water has become a muddy yellow color. The advantage of a bong performing its job is that undesired chemicals and dirt are filtered out of your smoke. The bong should be wiped out as soon as you're finished.

The Piece for the Mouth

Doesn't it seem to explain itself? This is where you'll take that big, hearty pull after you've cooked your chamber to your chosen density. The airholes that are required to draw the vacuum are generally found on or around the mouthpiece.

The Substrate

Other from your chamber tube, this is the second tube that extends through your bowl. The Downstem is one of the most critical parts of the bong because it must strike the base at an acute angle to the tube and the exit must be beneath the cooled water to chill the smoke and clear it out.

The Super Bowl

Where do you place your herbs that are going to be burned? It's joined to the downstem's other end, and when you draw via the mouthpiece while the herbs are burning, the smoke is pulled down the downstem and into the base. By the time you're through, you'll have a lot of residue in the shape of burned herbs and muck, so make sure you clean it out periodically.

What Bong Should You Buy Now That You Know This?

Styles of Bong

As previously stated, the most significant distinctions between bongs are in their base vs their tube. They aren't merely for show; the majority of the designs have a function. There are many distinct styles, but the two most common are straight and beaker.

Beaker Design

Bongs in the Beaker Style are generally the ones you see on TV. They feature cylindrical tubes that stretch outward and upward from bases that resemble scientific beakers, generally typically spherical but sometimes shaped like a rounded pyramid. There's still a downstem, but the water level in the bong normally doesn't rise over the circular base.

Straightforward Design

A straight bong has an even cylinder form all the way down the body and no obvious base to indicate where the water level should climb to. There is still a downstem, and how much you want to fill it is a personal option as long as the water is poured high above the downstem to provide time for the water to cool.

So, why should you choose one over the other?

As previously said, there is a distinction between these two methods, and these distinctions might have a significant influence on your session and how you wish to smoke it.

There's more volume to play with with the beaker design, so you can take greater rips and generate larger and denser plumes of smoke to draw from.

The straight type, on the other hand, is simpler to draw from due to its cylindrical, un-contoured body, making it excellent for lengthy sessions, particularly if you're a novice.

If you're purchasing a bong for the first time and have just had a little experience or have only smoked joints, it's a good idea to look at these two distinct models first. There are other additional types, but these two are the most basic and extensively utilized. Here you may get bongs in a variety of forms and sizes.

Bongs in Different Styles

Sidecars

For the most part, sidecars are essentially a smaller version of a bong. It doesn't truly clear your smoke, aid with draw resistance, or help you cook a denser chamber, but it does look really great and is considerably more portable than other bongs thanks to the neighboring pipe that provides more area. This is a pretty useful bong, although it does have a bit of a learning curve.

Recyclers

Don't be surprised if a recycler intimidates you because of its multi-chambered and sophisticated construction. After all, several of them like props from a 1950s science fiction movie. A built-in percolator creates bubbles from the smoke as you draw, which are burst in a separate chamber of the bong. The burst water from the smoke bubbles then falls into a specific water storage area farther into the foundation. The bubblers in a recycler take the smoke on a cleansing loop around the chamber, enabling you to get the optimum draw. This is a fantastic bong, but it's a bit more difficult to use, so we wouldn't suggest it to a first-time purchase.

Other Suggestions

Glass of Superior Quality

If you can learn more about the materials used to make the bong, keep in mind that the thicker the glass, the better. It won't improve the flavor or cleanliness of your bong, but believe me, out of all the glassware in your home, your dirty bong is the last thing you want to break, particularly if it cost you an arm and a leg. Getting the thickest glass you can with your bong provides some protection from your future, half-baked self.

Downstem

You should be on the lookout for two types of Downstem: natural and physical. Both aren't absolutely required for a nice smoke, but one is significantly superior than the other, and that's the one you'd likely purchase for a much greater price, so keep an eye out if money is an issue.

Downstem in its natural state

Natural downstems are integrated into the base of the bong and continue vertically down to meet the base towards the bottom. Make sure you purchase a good one if they're incorporated into the bong. If you want to personalize your downstem with anything like a perculator (more on them later), now is the time to do it since after you've purchased a natural downstem, you're pretty much stuck with it.

Downsizing Physically

Glass tubes that may be withdrawn from the base are known as physical downstems. Physical downstems are far more customizable. Many higher-end manufacturers will offer a range of different physical downstems specifically to cater to the unique customer, so if you're searching for a downstem, a real one is absolutely the way to go. It may be a bit more costly up first, but after you've gained a little more expertise, you'll know a lot more about percolators and ash-catchers, and that's where the ability to personalize will come in useful.

Maintenance

Cleaning your bong is highly crucial, and failing to do so might impair your experience in the long term. There are a few holes and grooves that might get clogged with dirt, and just washing out your base thoroughly can make a huge difference.

One thing to look for is an ash-catcher on your bowl, so that any burned material may fall to a safe location rather than on your table or, even worse, within your base. It's considerably simpler to clean an ash-catcher than it is to clean an ash-riddled bong. We'd suggest getting a bong with an ash catcher if you can locate one.

We'd use alcohol and salt for simply normal cleaning. Non-toxic. It won't alter the flavor of your cigarette and it gets the job done. Rinse out your bong after each use, and give it a thorough cleaning once a week. If you accomplish that, you'll have a bong that will last you a long time.

Percolators

Okay, percolators are tricky, largely because there are so many different varieties, and each one affects the flavor or density of the smoke in a different way. They're also not entirely required, so if you're a first-time buyer with little to no expertise, I wouldn't stress about it too much and instead focus on the overall design of your bong.

Percolators are essentially extra water tools that fit into your bong's tube. It's a secondary cooling system that removes any remaining heat or harshness from your smoke. They're always helpful, but after you've gotten some experience, you'll discover that you can smoke just fine without them.

Showerheads, Palm Trees, Chandeliers, and Fritted Disks are just a few of the percolator options. If you're serious about getting a percolator, do some further research to identify the best one for you. If you're interested in learning more about
