Bong - what is it? How to smoke through a bong?

Bong - what is it? What is its purpose and how to use it correctly? Not everyone can answer these questions. In this article, it will be about the bong, its purpose and proper use.

Bong - what is it and why

Bong (water tube, in the people - bulbulyator) - known since ancient times and one of the most common in our time, devices for smoking. Bong can be called a simplified version of the hookah (and unlike the hookah, the consumption of the mixture for smoking is smaller, because the process is more economical). As a rule, it is a glass vessel with a compartment for smoldering grass. Also can be made of acrylic, ceramics, metal, bamboo or a simple plastic bottle (homemade bong). And the materials from which the bong is made, are completely harmless to health. And this is the main difference from handicraft devices: when smoking, plastic is heated and releases substances many times more dangerous to human life and health than all smoking aids.

What can I smoke through a bong? It is traditionally considered an adaptation for smoking drugs, but you can fill it with tobacco - the effect will be stronger than from cigarettes.

Technique of using a bong

Bong - what is it? We already know this. Now let's figure out how to use it correctly. When smoking through a bong is important to the process itself, on this basis you can draw an analogy between it and cigars or a tube, but still the difference between them is not so small. Bong by its design promotes the formation and inhalation of a large amount of smoke, significantly more than from cigars or tubes, respectively, and the psychotropic effect is stronger. The vessel is partially filled with liquid, the smoke from evaporation passes through it, as a result of which some of its softening and purification occurs, and only then it is inhaled by the person through the neck.

How to smoke through a bong? First you need to prepare. Remember that for a cigarette, neither a lighter nor ordinary matches are suitable. It is better to use matches for kindling a fireplace or special sticks. A good option is a candle. If you do not get to smoke on the first try, you will not need to be distracted and light your matches / wands again. Bong should be put on a low table, so that it was then convenient to inhale the smoke and simultaneously clamp the turbo.

Then fill the bong with water. Just like with a hookah, you can use other liquids, such as juice. But it is not recommended to pour alcohol. Clean water is the most optimal option, in which smoke is maximally cleared, softened and does not scratch when smoking the throat.

Pour the chopped leaves of tobacco or hemp into the bowl. They should be enough to suffice for two puffs. Calculate this amount depending on the size of your bong and from yourself.

Inhalation of hot smoke is harmful, because add a few holes of ice to the special hole (if any) or directly into the water. Now everything is ready, you can proceed directly to the process of smoking.

Your lips should be inside the mouthpiece, check if the neck is snug to the face - smoke during smoking should not go out. Pinch the turbo hole (again, if your bong is equipped with that). Now ignite the mixture in the bowl and simultaneously inhale until the chamber is filled with milky white smoke. For the first experiment, it will be better to fill the vessel only halfway. When you need a pause, just cover the mouthpiece with the palm of your hand.

After tightening, remove the finger from the turbo hole, if it is not, pull out the cup with the smoking mixture from the vessel. Act carefully as the bowl heats up. Now through the neck inhale the smoke, otherwise it will start to exit through the hole. Hold the smoke in your lungs for a few seconds, then exhale, pulling away from the mouthpiece.

Again, pinch the hole or insert the bowl and repeat the above steps.

Caring for a Bong

Bong - what is it? With this we have already figured out. And how to care for it? After smoking, pour out the water, because it is dirty, it can affect the taste of smoke, shake out the ash and rinse the vessel. It is necessary to clean the bong every few weeks (more often - depending on the frequency of smoking). To do this, use salt, alcohol and hot water. To clean the narrow neck, you can use a kitchen stiff brush.

Vaporizer

What is a vaporizer? Bong is very similar to this device. The difference between them is that the vaporizer is an evaporator. It is less harmful to health, since the principle of its action is based on heating the leaves, rather than burning. This steam is much easier to inhale. In addition, the vaporizer allows you to save the amount of the mixture.
