    I know this is a stupid question but I usually smoke out of a little plastic bong(591ml bottle) and I switched to a 2L bong yesterday and it feels like I can get noticeably higher off the same amount (p3, p4) is this my imagination or do bigger bongs get you higher ? I smoked out of a 2ft glass bong once and I was high as hell after 2-3 good hits but ya im wondering if thats just me

    is say yes, to a certain point. eventually the bong becomes impractically large and is kinda a waste. 1.5 ft is like the perfect height.

    bigger bongs burn the bud faster than bakin a bowl!:eek:
    but you might get 12 hits off the bowl and 4 hits off the bong. i bet the 4 bong rips would do the job better

    it all depends how much you inhale and how long you inhale. you could get a bigger hit off of a bowl than a bong if you can inhale for 5 minutes straight...

    this is not really a yes or no question.

    biigger bongs get you higher in theory.


    more volume = more smoke = more THC



    EDIT: didnt realize the thread said "off the same amount"


    they wont really...


    if you smoke a certain amount of weed, you're only gonna get so high.


    just smoke more weed,


    and get more high

    :cool:

    The bigger it is the more room for smoke. I used to have a 3 1/2 foot bong and my friend dared me to fill the whole thing up with smoke and then get it all in one hit. I tried to no smoke the hit but it didn't work and once I let the hit out, My brain did flips in my head and I sat on the couch for 4 1/2 hours playing guitar hero. I FC'd 18 And Life that time only. My friend was so baked he lit his lighter inside the house. It would've been YouTube gold. Mostly due to the fact that for some strange reason he started doing the skank during the chorus. It was hard to focus because it was so funny he was doing the skank to frickin' Skid Row.

    I think he might mean as if he were at a concert?


    The only explanation I can think of.

    Yes, you get much higher.

    If size didn't really matter you could just smoke a little bubbler and it would get you high just fine. A bubbler gets me high, but not like my bong, and definitely not like some big bongs I've hit.

    Its all about the amount of smoke and smoke density. You can get a lot of really dense smoke in a bong. I know I can't take a full lungful of smoke from a pipe, joint, or bubbler, but I definitely can with a big bong. You gotta remember that the quicker you smoke a set amount of weed the HARDER it'll hit you. IIRC the high off weed peaks 15 minutes after you smoke it. Think about it, if you're hitting a little bong are you going to take 2-6 hits in the space of 10-20 minutes? That'll space out the thc intake more and give you a smoother high. But if you want to get really high off weed, you use a big bong and take the whole bowl in 1 hit. Its really easy to do that with a bong, and when you take the whole bowl at once you just increase the smoke's density, its still just a full lungful. So you get a lot higher because your body is being hit with all that thc at once, instead of spacing it out.

    I have a 8" tall bubbler, a double bubbler, and a 1 1/2' tall bong. The bong is much easier on my lungs and I can take MASSIVE hits. The double bubbler is almost as smooth. The 8" tall bubbler sucks, it always burns like a glass pipe to hit it.

    I've also hit a friend's PHX, which was like 4' tall. I've never been so high as when I use that bong. The sheer amount of smoke, combined with all the cooling, allows me to get higher than with anything else. I've smoked the same weed in my 18" bong as I've smoked in that PHX, and the PHX always gives me a stronger high.

    LOL the only way you are going to get higher from the same amount of weed is by maximizing efficiency. Vaporize it or be careful to not touch the flame to your bud or you can hold your hits but your going to get more tar than thc. Of course if you smoke a bowl over an hour you aren't going to be as high if you were to smoke a bowl in a single hit (as you would with a bong).
    The size of your piece does not change the THC content of your bud people...

    everything POVExdeath said is true, except not with the same amount of weed!
    takes more weed to fill up that huge bong with dense smoke than my 1ft bong with dense smoke

    I always tell me friends this, because they insist on lighting the bowl every single time...



    they dont believe me when I tell them that wastes a shitload of weed.


    Solar hits are also an excellent way to conserve weed, and you dont get that butane taste

    i agree bill, that is my favorite sig pic.

    anyway, now for my 2 cents towards this question. in my experience. a large amount of smoke in one lung full gets me higher opposed to breaking up the smoke into smaller inhalations. there for, a bigger bong with bigger smoke volume will get me higher. but i guess you can also hit a smaller bong and keep ripping it even though the smoke wont really sit in the body, it pretty much goes straight fromt he water to your mouth. i have a bong thats about a foot high and thats what happens.

    my buddy has this big 5 and a half foot long / 5 inch in diameter bamboo peice. im begging him to let me make a nice bong out of it. now that will RIP.
