Nimbin Weed in a Bucket Bong

Recently I got some nimbin bush greenery (all you Aussie guys should know this place!) from a person I happen to know, and since I hadn't smoked for a while, naturally I was eager to dig into some of it asap!
So late last night, as it seems to usually go, I was bored and i wanted to conserve my hard-earned green so I built a quick bucket bong with downpipe out of a 2L Coke-Cola bottle, the bowl from my favourite pipe, some tubing (that acted as a downpipe) and some bluetack.
Low and behold, I happened to make myself thoroughly stoned with a minimal amount of weed! As soon as I cleared away my gear, I went to lie down on my bed. Noticebly, it became much more trippy for me when I turned off the lights. I hadn't felt this way in a long, long time, and I was feeling good.
Soon, I found my heart rate started to go a little crazy, from my perspective anyway; times when I could feel the blood flowing through the veins in my head and times when I felt my heart beating faster and doubling in on its own rhythm until it became a continuous stream of pure energy. Needless to say, I knew my perception of my heart rate was wrong, as whenever I tried to gague my heart rate with my hands all i felt was the same pulsing rhythm that would resonate within myself, alternating whenever my thoughts (or sensory input) dictated.
Mentally, I feel I got caught in a couple of bad loops during the experience, and since I was tired already, I didn't have much strength in the way of focusing to change how I was thinking. In actual fact, I found myself simply experiencing whatever I was thinking, I was accepting to them in that they were happening, that I couldn't be stuffed to control what I was thinking and that I wasn't going to try and attatch positive or negative emotions to them either. What had to be thought was thought; interestingly I felt my loops this time were just a bastardised version of how I usually fret about things.
Now I haven't been so weed-ly inclined in such a long time (and I never put so much into thinking about my experiences) so I was wondering if people can relate to what I've felt here? IMO This experience helped me to think; but fuck, I've never had such painful cottonmouth

Gravity Bongs (or geebs, as we are found of calling them around my parts) are without a doubt the strongest smoking method save using a vaporizer.
Not smoking marijuana for a long time, then using a gravity bong is a good way to get really fucked up.
I like your idea, I smoke pretty much exclusively out of gravity bongs and lately I've been wanting to filter the smoke. In the homemade pipe thread just down the page I've posted pictures of my gravity bongs.
What kind of tubing did you make the downpipe out of? I wanted to make mine out of glass, because I don't really like the idea of inhaling partially melted plastic.

yea man. its not a bucket bong its a gravity bong. me and my friends like to call them GB's or Geeb's as dihnekis calls them as well.
geebs are notorious for getting people really high, with a minimal amount of weed, i dont know why this is tho. i pretty much use geebs all the time, prolly about 80% of the time i smoke, just because they get me higher with less weed and making a GB is pretty much free! all ya need is a bucket, a beverage bottle and a bowl of some sort to put in the cap. any way

Yeah man we smoked almost exclusively out of gravity bongs this last summer. So many blazed people resulted in our excitement about our new found toy.
But yeah I can relate to your experience. Recently I got the highest I've ever been (I think). I can definitely relate to the cotton mouth. At the point where you're that stoned, I say move on to mushrooms. I was pretty much retarded, though my thoughts were really interesting and there were fascinating visual distortions. This experience taught me that for the most part less is more with pot. I find more enjoyment out of being kinda stoned because you still have logical thought and you're mouth isn't at a 0% moisture level, but you can still enjoy the stone - feelin good, laughin, eating the best food you've ever had, etc.
oh yeah I just realized you were using a full-blown g-bong. I made mine out of a sobe bottle -----> hammer a nail through the bottom notch, poke holes in cap (bowl), take plastic off bottom of cap, put finger over hole on the bottom then fill with water, put cap back on w/ herb, light, let finger go.....once water has drained take the cap off and voila you have a bowl's worth in one hit.

I likes your bongehs! Anyway yeah, I just used large-ish (just a whisker smaller than the diameter of the coke-cola bottle top) clear pvc tubing because it wouldn't wrap around the bowl outlet (where all the heat and smoke comes from), but rather the walls of the bowl, and because I've missplaced any other form of downpipe-like material I could use. I've used pvc piping in bongs before and I've found they don't burn unless you torch the bowl and your huge flame starts lapping at it or if you're continuously emptying bowl after bowl after bowl. What I have found however is the piping tends to become less and less clear over time (due to repeated exposure to heat) and dirty (due to your mrs. green), so yeah. Use it once, see what you think, if you like what you think, buy something more permenant that could be used as a downpipe

My personal favourite is those really long necked bongs. If you can find a non-motorized fan the right size I'm sure a couple modifications could be made to allow a little extra pull...
I'm sure you could, as they used in that 2000 NORML-MAPS study (except it was a bong with a motorized paddle). I'm interested to see what you mean about this non-motorized fan

ah, le waterfalle! Ya, my cottonmouth was like my mouth and throat and tongue just turned into sandpaper. Also I had to empty half of that coke bottle before my experience hehe. Damn caffiene
