Got myself a bong (PICS)
#7715835 - 12/04/07 02:54 PM (16 years, 1 month ago) |

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.

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

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.

When I did smoked, I notice that the bong stays cleaner longer with the CF.
A friend has a nice, 24" 7mm Roor.

i have a foot roor and my bro has a 2 `1/2 footer.... ive hit alot of roors and alot or illiadelphs theyre honestly the same mechanics i think that the hit from the roor is smother though. when your hittin it man you should "milk it" just fill the bong till smoke is pouring out of it.

I never understood what the big deal about Roor bongs were. I've never smoked out of one granted, but looking at it, the thing sits on a very narrow base and has a nice long neck and a heavy top. Who's fucking bright idea was it to make a 300-400 dollar bong that is that easy to tip?
I bought a 50 bong from my local glass bong that has a great hit, but, the week after I got it, I was rinsing it out with some nice hot water. the fucker cracked! I was so pissed. Wasn't shit I could do, can't exactly go to the store and get a return on a used bong. I just sealed it up with gorilla glue and kept on smoking. It's just a hairline fracture now, but it won't stay that way, I bet. Who the fuck ever heard of hot water cracking a bong. Glass on the thing is thicker than fuck, too. Never would have expected it.
I love the way glass bongs hit, but they're an absolute pain in the ass in every other department. They're hard to hide, they smell like ass, they break easy, they're expensive. I'll just stick with bubblers and such.
When the one I have now goes kaput, i'm not buying another glass bong. They're not worth the hassle.

Bong's are excellent, they get you stoned. My friend had a bong just like yours and while i prefer bongs with a mostly clear chamber its still real nice. You'll get the trick of hitting it just right after using it for a while.
Just don't become a slave to the bong!

Sorry... quad perc? That looks like a single dome perc with a splash guard over it. Or maybe two percs. How do you figure a quad perc?
Bongs are one of my passions... people just take them for granted and make arrogant uninformed statements putting down those that appreciate a well engineered bong. It's more than just features, it's about air flow and how the different diameters and volumes create certain pressures in different parts of the bong thus delivering a completely unique hit to those who can appreciate it.
ROORs are truly amazing bongs, I bought my first ROOR from the concept shop in Amsterdam and was blown away. I'll have to fetch a quick picture if I can find it.
As for PH(X)s... the design is basic and not well engineered. The drag induced from the multiple dome percs is a horrid experience and provides for a sub-par hit.
Your average bongs (such as the one seen above) is of course not a bad bong. I don't want anyone to think I'm talking shit about them. They're just not refined, they pack quite the punch but truly are not designed to achieve perfection such as a ROOR.
As for the soft glass bong you've acquired, congratulations. In all honesty, meaning no offense, those are horrrrrible bongs. Superior to a metal pipe of course and sufficient for many smokers. The first problem is the seal on the downstem which will never perform well. Due to the downstem to main chamber diameter ratio you will not have a smooth draw and clear.
My first bong was a glass on glass from a local headshop which I wouldn't buy again, but after smoking on that, then going back to a softglass type bong a friend had... horrible experience.
I'm not trying to tell you what to do or anything, just saying... I've noticed a lot of people don't realize how much there is to a good bong. The cost is justified if you can appreciate it. Ultimately... whatever, to each his own. Just you know... throwin' it out there.
I added a video above, although I doubt many are interested. Here's a picture below... that was from the first bowl smoked out of it. Arjan's Haze mixed with some White Widow and layered with Super Krystal Hash from the Kingston Cafe in Amsterdam. The ROOR in the picture is a simple straight tube with a 14.4mm diffused downstem. Set me back about 150 euros if I recall correctly. It really is a luxury, not something meant to pay you back dollar for dollar. I wouldn't ever go back though.

I guess I have the terminology wrong,. I thought every time it went through water it was considered a perc. O and no offense but you come off as a douche.

Yeah, it does the trick. I'll refill it before each use. Also emrandel, I know there is some ''precision'' bongs around.. but I'm not looking forward buying one yet. I might add one to my colletion someday but atm I'm happy with the one I bought

white lighter 
nice bong though. my friend had one similar until his father kicked him out (not in a bad way) and said he had two days before to go get it before he threw it out cause he didnt want it in his house 
but whenever we smoked with it we always used new water and emptied it out after.. never smelled bad at all.
and was your other question about clearing it? just inhale until you 'taste' air.
real cool looking tho. use it wisely

i figured that was the case, and understood it was a joking matter. the reason i brought it up is that the color of the lighter varies from person to person. i think a superstition such as this should at least stick to one dominant color. it would make things a lot easier. it seems no matter what color lighter i use, its bad luck according to somebody. maybe i should just stick with matches... or get a zippo.

i'd go with a zippo though. you never lose with a zippo

ya... through out my times ive heard yellow, actually the first time i heard the myth was yellow. this burnt out hippie dude who claimed to have been abducted by aliens refused to finish a game of pool we were playing at a local bar because he saw me light a smoke with a yellow lighter. he wouldnt even give me a ride home unless i allowed him to monitor its disposal. he was a weird dude, cool to hang with... but weird.
ive also heard black, orange, and green... this being the first time white has entered the mix. personally ive had bad luck regardless of the color of my lighter. go figure.

Never heard about that. It's easier to check the gas level tho, that's why I buy them. Just got a torch tho.
Does anybody know where I can get decent sliders for my bong? I mean online. Nothing too fancy, just something that does the trick, looks cool with the bong and is cheap.
Also, haven't thought about a name for the bong yet! So if anyone has ideas... go ahead!

You got your ash catcher, then your main chamber downstem and then the two percs. No biggy, not like now that you know it's gonna hit any different. Sorry to come off as a douche... it's hard to correct someone politely without sounding sarcastic so I was just trying to be straight forward :/ I'm really just a good natured weed smoking acid head who's way too into bongs.
As for those that say ROOR is brand-hype... it really isn't. Are they over-priced? Yeah. But saying there's no difference is just an uneducated statement. I've played around with countless different bongs, from illadelph to ROOR and from PH(X) to Toro... and there's undeniably a difference.
grasscity should have a large selection of downstems for ya. it's probably not a standard size slide. 14.4, 18.8 or 21mm... be sure to measure it so you don't get screwed. Last one of those that my buddy had was 8mm I think. You should be able to find one for 10-15$ at the most. If you can, try to get a diffused one... it makes a big difference.

Yea ROOR is quality, but it's very overpriced. I spent $250 on a 7mm thick 18", which is a hell of a lot of money to spend on any bong nevermind one of this size. Anyway the thing hits better then any standard bong i've ever hit in my life, once i added the ash-catcher and diffuser it was even better. It's quite durable as well but the downstem is not, i broke it by knocking it over with my crutches (broke my leg/ankle a few months back) while black out drunk . We call the bong the nuke because it completely destroys you.

After browsing the web for a new slider I just ended up looking at the glass bongs there were on the net. Some a pretty cheap and sweet looking... Makes me wonder if I should just switch to a transparent glass bong. I'd like it better if I could see the smoke.
I'm feeling stupid now haha, I bought this bong without even looking around. I should have planned this before. Look at that... Only 47$ + shipping. It's pretty big too, 42cm.

just go for anything with really thick glass, thats number one priority in my opinion.
second to that is a glass on glass slide AND downstem, that is key as well.
also i really don't like bong's with carbs at all, i like to pull out a bowl to clear a hit.

Here's a description... tell me what you think.
The Bushmaster Glass Water Bong range includes a variety of weird, wonderful, classic and downright sensible water pipes. All crafted with the single-minded intention of creating a great smoking glass bong without distressing your bank manager, these Bushmasters are the best alternative to the niché bong market.
The Bushmaster Glass Water Bong – Bubble Base is a massive 42cm tall and features a lovely big bubble in the base. No surprises there perhaps, but the ice notches above the bubble allow you to fill the rest of the bong with ice to achieve one of the coolest and smoothest smokes around. A truly classic bong styling, and perfectly executed for the Bushmaster range.
Glass thickness: 3.5mm
Joint Size: 14.5

I can't seem to find anything decent in this range under 100$. Why is it such a matter? Might break easily?

Also, is the bubble at the bottom only for the look? Cause if cone bongs go as well as the others, I might try my chance with this one. Also, at the very bottom is the only 5mm thick bong I've found, from the same serie as the bubble ice one I showed before.

This Borosilicate Glass Bong features ice notches and has a mix of striped and swirling sandblasted designs encompassing the entire round-foot base and joint and snaking all the way up around the straight cylinder.
The sandblasted design make this bong stand out from most others and the toughened glass is always a highly regarded feature in a bong.
Borosilicate glass is tougher and more heat-resistant than ordinary glass. The process of its manufacture involves the adding of the chemical element Boron which reduces the material stresses caused by temperature gradients, thus making it much less likely to break.
Joint Size: 18.8
Glass Thickness: 3.2mm
Pieces: 2 (Carbed)
Downtube/Diffuser Length: 14.5cm

The Bushmaster Glass Water Bong – Rippled Shaft is a straight cylinder bong with a difference. Up the shaft feature several ‘ripples’ in the glass which make it less likely to slip out of your grasp when carrying or cleaning it. As well as looking a lot more interesting than an ordinary straight cylinder bong, this Rippled Shaft bong also features ice notches about an inch above the rush (carb) hole so you can actually fill well over half the entire bong with ice to provide you with one of the coolest, smoothest smokes around.
Glass thickness: 5.0mm
Joint Size: 14.5

Sorry gotta say that ROOR is a total brand hype and disgustingly overpriced. I manage a smoke shop for many years. I have a ROOR, a Jerome Baker, PURE, Blue Dot, Jah, all basically the same thing. My ROOR couldn't stand up to my Blue Dot. It's all about the thickness of the glass. Anything over a 5mm is good. Anything less is too thin and will break first bump. I will agree that a diffuser makes it much better. In all my many years of smoking I've found that nothing hits better than an 18 inch straight tube with a diffuser (any brand).
WAZ, yellow lighters were bad luck for us in Idaho. Funny.

Irijes makes some good points, like i said it's gotta be at least 5mm IMO. Most of the bongs i use are 7mm though and my friend has a freezable illadelph thats 9mm which completely pwns. My roor is an 18" straight tube with a diffuser and i can say that it hits heavenly.

I'm not looking for an expensive bong anyway. I want something under 100$. But all I can find that is looking decent is the bushmaster tube one. It's 50$+shipping, 33cm tall and 5mm thick. I would like something without a carb but it's not THAT important.
The only cone bongs I seem to find online are all expensive pieces... I'll probably end up buying the bushmaster one if I can't find anything else. Anyone know great sites?

Yeah... I wish it was thicker. Why is the thickness that important? 35mm thick will probably break? What if I just take care of it and carry it in a case?
