Haha... that's like what happened to me. I broke my bubbler, so I got two double-blown glass spoons instead, once. So I decided if one of them ever gets broken, I'll just go to my favorite glassmaker and have them blow me a couple for $15 again. I love having my own personal little glass studio to go to, rather than going to little sketchy headshops. I like it because there's no bullshit involved and you can call it a bong.... I don't know if there are people who feel with me here, but I find that I can't help laughing when I go into a place and ask to look at their shitty selection of "water tobacco pipes"... In fact, I know a place that will tell you to stop looking at the glass if you look at it and you look under 18 or like a cop. (down below) http://www.fantasyva.com
im glad i gave away my piece. i found a cheaper, but very nicely priced piece for which i have been smoking out of to much lately im bout to give it a rest and roll myself a joint! :H
Man.. I'm out of papers, but the big thing in my town is using a gravity bong/bucket. You just have to be really careful not to heat the plastic up or get too crazy with the lighter/build it right so you don't inhale anything... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_bong I just don't understand... or the inventor had to be really baked, as it's suction rather than gravity that's smoking the herb.
i love gravity bongs! i need to make a friend that has one, cause im not gonna spend the time or money to get/make one
Haha.. it's not that difficult. I could make one in less than a minute, but alas, I buy socket sets and tools on Christmas to replace the missing ones from my car, lmao. I keep one under the coffee table in my room.
a bucket was the first way i ever smoked. that hash bout knocked my socks off we used to always make em when i lived in england out of the big size coke bottles. haha one time, we got this really dumb guy so fucked up [on a variety of drugs, not just weed] that he drunk the bucket water i think that im gonna make me one soon... we also used to smoke out of air lungs.. which is like the bucket concept but with a plastic bag on the end of a water bottle instead... those things are harsh as fuck though
Yeah, I don't like lungs. They're kinda pointless. You might as well just make a steamroller out of a 20 oz.
I never did like any sort of bongs... yep, they get you high as shit... but I've always enjoyed the ease and the casual atmosphere of bowl or joint smoking. I like to get high gradually, not with a couple of massive bong rips. The process of getting high with friends tends to be more enjoyable than the high itself.
Well... that's the thing, a gravity/bucket doesn't really work that way because you use such a small amount. But I do prefer a joint, as far as vibe, mood, and atmospheres go...
I prefer a bowl...I liek joints, but Im not into smokin with tobacco, I cant stand the taste or the feeling it gives me in my throat...but on the other hand, smoking a joint with purely weed is also a big waste, IMO. But if its somebody elses weed then a joint is fine! haha but bowls are just so chill. you can set them down and tlak with the others if you want, and you dont haveta worry about dropping it like you do with a bong (in teh sense that a bong is heavy and easier to drop/break) and yeah. go pipes.
On the contrary, the cherry on a joint burns at low termperatures, so truly, when using more material in a joint, the heat won't damage the bud/crystals like it will in a bowl, but I just don't like to smoke massive quantities or put a joint out and smoke it afterwards. If I could get used to it, I probably wouldn't use a bowl except for when I had leftover J. It just uses more herb and most people don't know how to keep them under control or fix runs. And as far as glass goes, I try to look for pieces that are at least double blown. California (3+ blown) glass is the shit, as you can drop it and it won't shatter, but it's so ridiculously expensive and time consuming to blow.
yeah, i used to be all into getting fucking blown.. and fast. but now im all about my bowl and the occasional joint for a chilled out high. occasionally we'll get a blunt and smoke half one night and half the next. we've gotten back to smoking everyday again though ah well, its too fun to quit...
I really don't care for getting blown when it comes to anything. It just feels so pointless afterwards.
yeah, like i said.. i USED to be like that.. on anything.. my motto was "more is fun, a lot more is a fucking blast" .. i grew out of that phase...
i got three stone pipes and one made out of god knows what in costa maya mexico this week one of em is tiiiny tiny, one is a little bit bigger and has this cool swirly pattern and its kinda like shaped to fit your hand (kinda) and the other one is like a sherlock and its big the other one has leaves and snake lookin things and jewel lookin things and its two sided so two people can smoke at the same time its awesome
