Interesting Facts About Bongs Every Smoker Should Know

Bongs are large pipes, used to smoke Since Cannabis’ widespread legalization, it is common to find them being sold in souvenir shops, headshops like KING’s Pipe, and of course, dispensaries. Many people prefer using bongs instead of smoking joints, mainly because bongs provide a much more intense high, and are a lot less wasteful than joints are (which will be explored in greater detail further on in this article).

If you are interested in smoking bongs but want to learn about them first, then this post will tell you a few interesting facts that you should know.

Additional Features

When most people think of a bong, their mind conjures an image of a very basic pipe, usually made out of plastic. There is a huge range of different bongs for you to buy, some with accessories and additional features. One feature that’s becoming a lot more common is the ash catcher, which is a feature that’s designed to prevent ash from ending up in your bong water. Ash in your bong water can give it a horrible taste, ruining your high. If you are planning on investing in one, then find the best ash catcher that you can. The best way to do this is to conduct extensive online research, read reviews, and ask friends who smoke bongs for their advice. Another feature that you can get is a freeze chamber, which cools down your bong’s smoke, making it smoother and easier to get a hit on.

Stronger Hits

If you have ever smoked a bong before, then you will know, that hits from a bong can be very strong. The reason for this is that when you smoke a bong, you take in nearly a joint’s worth of smoke in a single hit. Because of this, it can overwhelm your lungs and lead to hacking, coughing, and spluttering. An effective way of countering the burn and harshness of a bong is to put a mint or chewing gum under your tongue. Putting a mint or chewing gum under your tongue is a great remedy, making each hit a lot cooler, and less strong.

Intense High

With stronger hits comes more intense highs. It’s unavoidable when smoking a bong, you are going to get very high. Even if you use hardly any bud, you are going to get high. One of the reasons for this is that you consume all of the smoke that’s produced by the bud—none is wasted. If you are a person who really enjoys getting high, then a bong is definitely a smoking utensil that’s worth considering. The high that you will get from smoking out of none is second to none.

Cleaning Bong

When you are smoking out of a bong, you need to make sure that you clean it properly. Unfortunately, a lot of people smoke out of bongs and don’t clean them. Failing to clean your bong can lead to it becoming very smelly and dirty. If you try to smoke out of a bong that hasn’t been cleaned, then you will inevitably have a horrible experience. The smoke you get from your weed will be stale, nasty, and will probably make you want to vomit. You should always flush your bong and clean it with soapy water.

Deep Breathing

Deep breathing can help you to take in more of the smoke that’s produced by your bong, which will increase the intensity of the high that you get. If you are an amateur weed smoker, then it is ill-advised to practice deep breathing exercises. If you try to practice deep breathing exercises when you are new to smoking, you will end up getting far too high and could end up having a bad trip. Bad trips are more commonly associated with hallucinogens, but it is entirely possible to have one from weed, depending on how high you get.

Staggering Yourself

Lastly, make sure that you stagger yourself. As has been mentioned throughout this post, bongs produce a very intense high. If you are not an experienced Cannabis smoker, then trying to smoke out of a bong could result in you getting overly high, which could, as mentioned earlier, give you a bad trip. If you have a bad trip, and you’re new to weed, it’s very likely that you’ll end up disliking weed and won’t want to smoke again when it was the bong hit that was to blame. Stagger yourself and go easy.

Cannabis is a fun drug to take. It can also be taken medicinally. If you are planning on taking it, then you should consider using a bong. Bongs are fun, effective, and better for you than joints are. They will also save you money since you won’t have to buy rolling paper ever again.
