Bongs are one of the oldest and most popular forms of consuming herbs, especially dried flower. Bong is also known as a water pipe and sometimes referred to by slang terms like billy, bing, binger, and more. The great thing about a bong is that it’s portability. It is easy to handle. Also an efficient way to consume tobacco. In bongs usually hot smoke is cooled through the water before being inhaled and therefore provides a cooler smoother smoke. Different varieties of bongs are available today; in different materials, shapes, colors and designs. Their advantages made them very popular. If you are really a bong fan, you have to know the advantages as well as disadvantages of bongs. It will help you to lead a smooth smoking habit.
Pros:
- Bongs produce a cooler, milder, richer smoke than other devices.
- The inhalation rips are bigger and quicker due to the smoke being condensed. So bongs intensify the experience of smoking.
- Bongs like mini bongs are portable and easy to handle.
- Glass bongs are easier to clean. Glass is sanitary compared to other materials and if thick enough and careful enough they will last for a long time.
- While many users argue that bongs enhance the herb’s potency, an often-cited study by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) suggests that water filters out more THC than other devices. However, other studies have found that most active chemicals in the hemp plant do not bind to water.
- In bongs the water traps heavier and water-soluble particles that are harmful to the respiratory system, including cytotoxins that attack immune cells.
Cons:
- The smoke that accumulates in the tube turns stale in seconds. Stale smoke is harsher on the lungs and often causes coughing.
- Due to their funky shapes and sizes, top-heavy bongs easily tip over, spilling foul-smelling dirty water that is difficult to clean up.
- Even when they are made from thick glass, bongs are easy to break, so they require more care and consideration than other devices.
- Since they get dirty quickly, bongs require frequent cleanings.
- Bongs are designed as showpieces, so they are not easy to travel with or conceal at home. Mini bongs and collapsible bongs are the exception to this general rule.
