Got myself a bong (PICS)

Hey guys! Since I've been a daily smoker for the past few months... I decided to invest in something better to smoke than a small and crappy metal pipe. So I bought a bong! Hooray!
But yeah, with every new thing there's questions coming right? So I thought I might ask some of them here.
From the first time I used my bong, it started smelling real bad. In fact I can smell it 2m around. It's just not really appealing, especially when you're grabbing it to smoke a bit. The taste and smell is just awful. Is there any way to make the smell go away?
If I get this right (I never used bongs before), all I have to do is to take a long and smooth hit until I feel the smoke coming to then inhale the whole smoke by liberating the choke? I didn't think about buying a transparent bong, so I can't tell if it's properly filled with smoke or not... Is there any way to know? Or am I just going to get the trick with time?
Any other tips would be appreciated. Oh, here's the pic!

That's fucking beautiful dude. As for the smell, do you mean it smells like weed or just shitty? Wash it out with clean tap water every time after you use it. Sounds like you're hitting it right.

You can tell when you feel it in your throat.

just wait till you can feel it on your throat and then release, that way you know you have a full tube.
bongs are stinky. what ya gonna do except clean it every second fucking smoke, personally i just whack mine in a cupboard. although i gave up buying them because i break them alllll the time. i must have spent £400 on bongs

Are you emptying out the dirty water and cleaning after you use it?

I do it after each couple of uses, but it sometimes mean once in a day or two. I guess I'll just have to clean it up each time. It might take time but at least I'll have a decent taste!
Good to know I'm hitting it right hah! Oh and thanks for the comments It was 50$ at a store near where I live. I might buy a glass on glass in a while, because I'd like to see the smoke build up, it's a different feeling.

If you want a really stinky bong, fill it with vodka instead of water. Then drink the vodka. Then run to a bathroom.

Vodka will take thc out of the smoke, replace the water after each session and it shouldn't smell.. it's the water that smells, if you don't want it to smell at all then dump the water out after you're done smoking.

yo bro, your stem appears to be slightly shittay. if it's a cheaper bong and the stem came default w/ it, i suggest spending 20-30$ more on a good one. my current bong came w/ one like that and it constantly clogged and hit like shit. if you notice minimal bubble action that's probably it.
cool bong tho. if im wrong about ur stem my bad, but just putting it out there & it may be the angle too, idk

Save up some money and get a Roor and the carbon filter adaptor.

Soak in Rubbing Alcohol 91% or greater for an hour, add Epsom salts, shake vigoriously. Rinse very well.
Enjoy clean flavor.

Decent piece... INSANE starter piece! 
The trick to bongs is cleaning them... Just get in the habit of changing the water often, with no more than 4-5 bowls going through. Every week or so, I take it outside and run the hose water through it for a few minutes... Every few months you'll need to use alcohol (91% iso) and sea salt.
Keep your bong clean, and she will reward you with incredible sessions!

use hot water to wash it out with after each use. naturally, gunk will build up on the inside which has an odor if you stick your nose in the bong, but it's not as bad as old water

I heard the carbon filter is a waste, at least that was the general consensus at the marijuana forum I used to post on.. I'm buying an illadelph just becuase I think roors are over rated and hyped up.
