    I have the money to buy one of them but im not sure. A purple long bong $65 or a Magic flight launch box $99

    What would you get?

    we have a vaporbrothers vaporizer. with vapes i think the downside is patience, since they generally have to warm up. but if you can wait 5 minutes its fabulous for flavor. bongs are good too, but it depends what you like. i think they are a hassle, a bitch to clean, and a super bitch to clean up after (yuck, bongwater)

    if i were you, with the options you gave, i would get the cheaper bong and save up for a quality vaporizer. $99 sounds like theres a "you get what you pay for" in your future. i think ours was $150-200, and the volcanoes are more than $500

    Volcano or nothing, don't buy that wooden box piece of crap. Bong still gets you higher.

    ive heard a lot of good things about the magic flight, its great for sneak smoking since you just use a battery and its silent. ive smoked my friends in the movie theater its awesome haha but its not great for smoking in a group its more of a solo pipe

    and you can never go wrong with a nice bong :)

    Bong. Any vaporizers I've used are missing parts of the high.

    i disagree that you need a volcano vaporizer. i have an Arizer Extreme and it does everything a volcano can do plus more. mine was $220 instead of ~$600 for a volcano.
    the only downside of my vaporizer is that it takes awhile to get high. it heats up FAST, but the bag takes awhile to fill up, so it takes 15 or 20 minutes to vape three bags or so. it does make even crappy weed taste good...and good weed taste CRAZY. but it still gives me dry mouth. it gives a bit of a smell, but not as noticeable as smoke.

    a bong is my favorite way to partake in cannabis though. hopefully you mean a glass bong. and "glass on glass" is even better. i personally like a bong under 1 foot, since i'm ripping it everyday. cleaning it is not that hard, especially if you keep up on it, you can keep a bong looking brand new for years. water filtration is key to me. i've never owned a bubbler, but i imagine ashing it to be a major pain. i prefer to have a removable slide.

    i say go with the bong, and save up for an arizer extreme. not a salesman, just a satisfied customer :)

    do you have a pic of it?

    i hate bongs with a removable slide. when ive pulled a nice rip i dont want to have to take a breath before i inhale it. my lungs are strong, but its from blowing through a clarinet at length, i am not a vacuum that doesnt lose suction.

    ^^agreed, you dont need to spend mad monewy on a volcano, but dont go for a cheap ass one either. its like cars, sure you could spend 2 grand on a crappy car that will break in 6 months, and at the same time you could spend 90 grand on a vette, but there are plenty of 30grand vehicles that will last a lifetime

    Mother's Love, sounds like you are talking about a bong that is too big. if you have a nice 9" bong, with removable, glass on glass slide, you can easily milk the bong and clear your hit with one breath. unless there are health issues....or maybe i'm biased because i'm 6'3" and lung size is correlated to height.

    what kinda bong are you talking about then? acrylic with metal bowl, and a hole for a carb? egh, i hate those.

    an arizer extreme IS the 90 grand vette for just 30 grand.

    but i have only bought shitty cars :) first one was 500 bucks, maybe 3. i drove it for at least 2 years. next was 3 grand, and i've been driving that 3 or 4 years (i don't drive a lot). it's about time for a new one though. if i continued the pattern (300, 3000...) i'd be spending 30,000 on a new car, but i'll probably get something used for like 8 grand or less.

    now cannabis smoking devices, THIS is where i demand quality!

    the carb is the only thing that makes a difference in bongs to me, but i dont usually smoke out of them either. i prefer my glass pipes.
    i did have a very negative experience with a too big bong, so maybe im biased, but i have trouble even with smaller bongs. steamrollers kick my ass too, i think because they are so hard for me to judge.

    with a removable slide, the action of removing it is the carb. not to be patronizing, if you already knew this. i like clear bongs so you can see the smoke and judge it. and if you owned a small bong, you would get used to what size of hit to take.
    i bet i could get you to like bongs:devil:

    that's just silly. i drive like a grandma to baby my piece of shit car.

    i live 1 mile from where i work, and i ride a bicycle. i only drive on the weekends to do stuff and maybe during the week to get weed :) and that's all in the city so like 20 mins at most. unless i'm going to my hometown for a visit less than 2 hours away...or to my fiance's which is like 5 hours. those drives kinda blow

    sorry for the double posts, i meant to edit

    get it

    its sucking the fresh air through the water that seems to be too much for me. i have a hard enough time drawing the hit, might be a pacing problem too. might just be technique. might be im just better at blowing than sucking, in this context anyway
