Yea i agree with that, but its nasty that people will let bong water sit for 3 days and then change it right before they smoke, its like they are afraid to have their bong sitting without water...
You guys don't exactly know any glassheads.... When I actually HAD bongs... ALWAYS salt and isopropanol on hand, or at least they'd get rinsed with hot water to take out everything reasonably volitile, between every session, and every bowl if there was good weed... Clean and clear to the point of legality between sessions, generally. There's nothing like a snap of dank, through a freshly cleaned diffused, percolated ice bong with clean, filtered water....
Well the SERIOUS glassheads do grungeoff soaks, so there's no physical damage to the glass. Salt will put microscopic scratches on it, and it will become less clear, but not to a point where it bothers me.....
The point of this thread is that the way you perceive your habit/activity effects the way you do other things, right? I tend to agree with that, but I usually don't smoke for long enough to smoke a joint. When I smoke a bong load I put it out with my thumb or something... it's never smoldering or anything, to conserve my resources.
No, i know people that actually take care of their glass like i do, that's why it bugs me so much when people empty some nasty dingy bong water out of their bong then fill it with fresh water right before we smoke and think everything is cool. Its just a personal preference of mine.
Yeah kinda I guess, I posted this elsewhere and people seemed to understand it lol. Probably poorly put but still. I'm jus sayin that if someone has an addictive personality it's probably not best for them to have a bong as it makes weed consumption so much more abusive, into a hit, into a solitary thing, it quantifies your weed, it's not natural. I would liken it to snorting vs eating drugs. p.s. Reading bout all your bong etiquette, ours used to go days without being cleaned and got used as an ashtray on multiple occasions.. it also got spilt so many fuckin times haha!
:ack2: I see your point about bong usage, honestly i never really thought of it quite like that. You can in someways compare it to snorting/swallowing pills or something similar. Its about the rush i guess.
Don't get me wrong. I can't WAIT til' I next go to a mates house where there's a bong!! But at the end of the day, for me personally, having it in the house just introduced unecessary stresses into life, i.e. wanting that hit, wondering whether I could get away with having a cheeky bong before doing stuff etc. I still crave weed now, but only a few days of bonglessness has severely reduced it. I would also agree bongs can make people very dull!!
Goddamn, the more and more I read threads in this forum, the happier I am that I don't smoke with you guys. Haha. It's like...taking pot smoking and making it all elite and complicated. I won't even share how I clean my bong, because of all the upturned noses I'd get.
before my binger got arrested i wouldnt keep it completely clean but i would do the salt/ alcohol thing every month or so. and i agree there is nothing worse than a glass snob! i knew this one kid that had a designer bong and he literally could not hit my bong without comparing it to his piece. apparently mine had to much 'draw' lol i stopped smoking with that tool. i think he constantly had to justify to himself his spending 700 on a piece half the size of mine. I get just as excited to smoke my homies old plastic tube as i do any fancy piece also i used to always fill my perc with vodka.. smoke tastes really strange when you do that.. i prefer tubes without percs tho.. the more filtration the less THC- fact
Hey, glassheads aren't all assholes, I love high end bongs and hate china shit as much as the next snob, but i'll proudly hit a gatorade bottle with the best of em'..... Bout the vodka, you're going to be getting a lot more nonpolar things out of the smoke, but that includes THC.... in essence, it just makes your smoke weak.... Plus, it would SUCK if you got a backfire and blew up your bong... or even blew up your chest, due to the hot alcohol fumes (theorhetically it could also get you drunk though, in the same way that you can huff vodka.... trade offs, trade offs....)
I'm only a snob about metal...I'll smoke out of it if it's all there is, but I just hate smoking out of metal. It ruins the taste and gets too hot.
^x2 id rather smoke a blunt than metal.... I just don't get why people let dirty water sit in their bong for long periods of time. Wouldn't you rather smoke out of something that is clean and doesn't make your smoke taste like nasty bong water? If that makes me a snob then so be it.
just to clarify, i'm not like that, soulvibrations. i do keep water in my bong at mostly all times, and change it right before smoking, but i don't keep it in there long enough to get nasty. if i'm giving it a thorough cleaning though, it'll be awhile before smoking since i'm using rubbing alcohol.
in my opinion ur not a snob then nor was any of my post directed at you in the first place... and i can spot a fake roor from a mile away man. in the past ive had a german roor little sister with diffuser, (got stolen), and spent most of highschool smoking a ridiculous custom ADS
Ahh... very nice.:2thumbsup: ...My flag label US roor was stolen by the campus PD... and my roor zumini was awaiting repair at another location, and was destroyed as a favor to me, to prevent further roor related issues due to the legal atmosphere...
