Carb hole vs. pull slide

Ive always prefered a slide over a carb. I think its a lot better. but ive read some posts on here before and a lot of people say they wished they had a shotgun hole or carb on their bong. why?

Personally I like both... The advantage of a carb though is that it take less coordination to use. Often I see less experienced smokers clumsy when it comes to sliders.

so you dont have to touch that hot bowl in order to hit it...some people smoke out of metal the bowl gets super hot...glass too if you dont got a good slider piece.Dosnt matter, to me xprience is key when working with different bongs just hold that shit " dont drop like it's hot...

hmm I have never seen a metal slider before... I guess heat would be a problem with it... if you got a glass bowl heat shouldn't be a problem at all.

In the two months I've had my pull slide bong, I've broken about 7 bowls. I do prefer the pull slide, but I'm so damn clumsy with them when I'm stoned. With a carb, I don't have to worry about breaking it.

I've never dropped one, either. I'll either stick it in my pocket for whatever reason, and pull it out in a million peices, or I'll step on it. When I take it places with me, I don't like leaving it in the bong because it always breaks =/.
I guess my only option is to bring my cheap plastic one with me, and leave my glass one at home.

i see, heat is a factor sometimes, i have never broken a bowl, but it feels like the pull slides hit harder and faster and to me thats a big advantage.

The fat air rush with a slider makes it way better in my opinion.

Are you buying those cheap ass glass slides that come for free with the bong? Those things break if you look at them the wrong way.
If you are buying those, you should spend the $15-30 on a quality glass slide that wont break as easily.

I have considered such matters. SIKE

i dont have a preferance for either... my first nice bong was glass with a carb. dont ask why, but i like how you dont hear the bubbles when taking a carb hit .... but slides are easier to clean. so theres +'s for both

I'd much rather smoke a slide bong than a carb bong.
like someone else said, the air just shoots in, plus, easier for maintenence, cleaning, etc.

Rarely do i a see a bong with a carb.
We always use some sort of glass bong tho. All glass bongs ive seen have pull slide(tons ).
Pull slide is better in my opiniion

I've been smoking out of the same glass pipe for three years. Three hundreds of times, probably.. Never broken it, never needed a bong. But in my experiences smoking out of 20+ different bongs, I like the carb better, unless the seal is really tight on the slider

I like how the water bubbles when your clearing with a slide than just sitting there with a carb.
My favorite bong is like 18" straight tube - hits like a bullet and and smoke goes directly up and does not swirl and get stale.

ive only seen one bong with a carb and it was a getto riged slider...... I like sliders more, their not difficult to operate, I don't have to hold the entire bong while I'm packing a bowl, ect ,ect.
an old friend of mine had a weird bong that had a metal plate you pressed to open the carb.
i think carbs are only on home made bongs really, like when you make a bamboo bong, the hole wont stay sealed if your pulling it out an in.

slide. and a simple straight tall bong. carbs don't clear the chamber evenly where as a slide will giving you that choke of fresh air. The only way to go. besides with a carb hole you'll spill bong water everywhere easier and it is harder to clean.

Actually a lot of bongs in the head shops around here are sold with carbs... You get the bubbly sound when you fill the bong, just not when you inhale.. Lol @ feelfunny... make up your mind. Looks like the clear conclusion is, there is no definite answer ,And once your high, it doesn't really matter

sliders are crazy... ive never tried smokin out of a slider, and i doubt i ever will. its jsut so crazy!! i would get all paranoid that im gonna be clumsy and spill out ash or something and set the house on fire (along with makin a mess on the carpet).
also i jsut like the speed and simplicity of the hole. its jsut so easy. the move of a finger. one finger!! thats fuckin cool. no need to look down, no need to fight withthe slider for half hour tryin to get it back in, just nice simple smoke.
(cause you gotta enjoy the smoke, and how do you enjoy it when youre there fumblin with this damn slider tryin to get it back in without spillin shit or burnin yourself or others and still hold on to the bong while watchin a friend dance to celtic folk music?)
the hole is the only way ill go.
