Vapes, Bongs, Hookahs, Joints, Blunts…Stoners always have preferences. But for someone new, all the options available may be a bit too overwhelming. They may have heard of the hit from bongs but may be personally inclined to try something more convenient and easy to carry everywhere. Or, they simply don’t want to go through the hassle of grinding herbs and rolling them up just to get a hit.
In this article, the KC Smokz team will be giving you a brief explanation of the advantages of bongs and vaporizers so you can choose between the two for your first stoner experience.
Overview
Before we start, you should know that there is a big difference between the way vapes and bongs work. With bongs, you just need to light the herbs in the bowl and inhale everything at once. Vapes do not burn herbs but heat them up so there won’t be any smoke from the device.
Due to this difference in letting the cannabinoids into your body, the resulting effects will also be different. A bong doesn’t give you the same effect that you will get from a vaporizer. Users generally only take one or two big hits from bongs before putting them away, and by that time the weed gets into the body. Vaporizers are electronic devices designed to be similar to that of a hookah. You get a few minutes to take multiple draws before the device shuts itself off. A Volcano Vaporizer is different however as it has a chamber that fills up with smoke which you can then inhale, similar to a bong.
To break all this down, you essentially inhale a lot in a little time using bongs. So the effects would be faster and harder. The high you get by burning weed may change its effects on your mind and body over time. Though you can feel that high somewhat clearly, it’s often hard and unforgiving for many users. The effects of vaporizers are much clearer and distinct, even if you are smoking premium quality cannabis. It’s very effective but forgiving.
Advantages of Bongs & Vaporizers
Bongs are part of the stoner culture, and is considered the best way to smoke cannabis. You don’t need electricity to power the device and you don’t need to charge any batteries either. It’s easier to clean than a vaporizer, and can last a long while with proper care and maintenance. You don’t have to worry about any electrical component suddenly malfunctioning. Generally speaking, good quality vaporizers also cost more than great bongs.
Let’s take a look at the advantages of vaporizers now. Vaporizers do not combust the weed. So no toxic fumes or tar enter your lungs. This is why many smokers rely on vaporizers to quit smoking for good and save their lungs. This makes vapes safer and healthier compared to bongs. There are bongs that can remove tar to give you cleaner smoke. But overall, vapes are still better at this particular aspect. Vapes also don’t stain your teeth. You can also find vapes for wax or dabs.
