By lungs on fire, do you mean that figuratively? One of the main points of a bong is to cool down smoke.
The bong rip should be intense though, it should burn and tear your throat lining so to get all that to absorb straight into your lungs and blood stream Basically if it hurts and you cough, you're gonna get a good high. IMO
From having a coughing fit your lungs might hurt but if the inhalation burns, you're probably doing something wrong.
Well, I think there's something to be said for plastic, because nobody likes a broken glass bong. I don't think I've ever broken a glass bong, thankfully. They can be a little pricey. well, a lot pricey really. I'm for acrylic, but doesn't it contain BPA? I don't know exactly. That could be something to google.
I mean, i've never heard of anyone's lungs literally catching on fire But yeah big bong rips just make my lungs feel really full and there's a weird pain that happens there, followed by coughing which causes the figurative burning
FROM THIS, THE ORIGINAL BAMBOO BONGS OUR SOLDIERS BROUGHT BACK FROM VIETNAM: TO THIS. YANKEE INGENUITY LEADS THE WAY!!
they fucking stink and are gross to the max...the water smells like death....they are way over priced....you cant cruise down the highway holding a bong lol.....doobies all the way
Reminds me of "you gotta cough to get off", something I've heard since the 70s. I think that's because coughing in long-lasting fits deprives you of oxygen. I realize it may seem counter intuitive, but if you use really hot water in a bong, the smoke is much smoother. Another odd trick that works really well is to pack the bong with rock salt and no water at all. The acids and stench stay in the bong and if it gets tipped over, it does't make a huge nasty mess.
I remember I used to clean my bong every day.. Now I don't even bother changing the water until I can't suck out of it.
We used to make these things from coke cans while I was in the army. We'd use our uniform insignia to poke holes in the can.
