Bong or Vaporizer?

So I'm wanting to upgrade from my normal pocket sized glass pipe, to a bong or vaporizer. Is there a significant difference and which one offers the best high? I also read a vaporizer saves a lot of pot. Thanks in advance!

 

I guess what are you looking for in particular???

Vape
Pros:
*Conserves weed(can get toasted off .1-.2g of weed)..
*Less smell..
*discrete depending on the type of vape(pocket vapes such as the magic-flight, solo, or iolite offer more discrete public vaping than most other vapes on the market)..
*Healthier.. vaping is not combustion.. which means you are not getting any nasty tars or carcinogens in your lungs from combusted plant material.. you are inhaling oils and water vapor
*Save your vaped weed.. you can make butter.. oil.. hash oil with it..
Cons:
*You may be looking for a more intense high which vapes sometimes can have a problem helping you achieving..
*expensive.. you really don't wanna spend less than $100-150 on a vape... anything below that is mostly complete crap and will result in wasted money
*Some vapes need anywhere from a couple seconds up to hours to warm up.. which can be the downfall for an impatient vaper

Bongs
Pros:
*Perculation results in cooler smoke..
*bigger hits
*Results of bonging usually leave you retarded
Cons:
*Not efficient...
*From a health aspect its not healthy as a vape by a long shot.. MAPS and NORML have proved that bongs will actually filter out more thc than tar... *Smells ALOT because you are taking HUGE hits(lots of smoke)..
*must be hidden well.. not nearly as discrete..
*bong water smells and can be spilled


Personally.. it's two completely different worlds... I own 2 vapes and 3 bongs... the best thing about owning both is vapor bonging!.. where you connect a vape to your bong

 

Hey thanks that was helpful. Based on what you wrote looks like spending a good amount of money on a vaporizer could be my best option. As long as my high improves, I'm good.

Are bong hits stronger than vaporizers hits regardless if I get a 150 dollar vape?

 

This is something I was pondering just last night after smoking out of my portable MFLB vaporizer which I hadn't used in a while. Lately I have been smoking mostly out of bongs. In terms of the high, I think bongs provide the strongest high. Smoking from a bong tends to make me paranoid, though. There is something about vaping that provides a different, almost more clear-headed kind of high. I don't know what it is, but I think it could do with the lack of smoke and carbon monoxide. Plus, I like the flavor that comes with vaping, especially out of my wooden box.

It's hard to say which I like better. I really like the convenience of being able to vape anywhere. Bongs are nice for when I just want to get blazed with the least amount of hassle.

 

you're missing higher end cannabinoids too when you vape.. which makes for a slightly different high... im sure the COx not entering the body make a difference though....

Frank.. I can get some thick vapor from my Arizer Extreme Q.. that'll make ya choke and cough pretty fucking hard... as if you had just taken a good bong rip.. I suggest looking into it.. as a first time vape.. you cannot go wrong.. will cost you around $150-160 between ebay and amazon... uses a WHIP AND BAG system.. has a 3 speed fan... one of the more accurate heat sensors... also has a timer.. incase you get too vaped.. you can set your EQ to turn off in 30min.. 1hr.. 1.5hr.. or 2hr.. easy to read and use digital interface... warms up and ready to use in about 5-10min... I can get completely ripped on .1g of weed packed into this machine.... this is the vape i use when im not toting around my magic flight launch box..

That looks nuts. Yeah that's it, I'm getting that Extreme Q contraption. I thought about spending 130 on a vaporizer (or bong) but if it's only twenty dollars more, why not?

Pipe hits just don't seem to satisfy me as much anymore.

 

i own a bong and the arizer extreme Q. i've had a bong forever, and i got the vape to try to be more healthy. i hardly ever use it...
just not the same as gettin ripped from song bong rips.

i think i might bust it out now actually.

 

A lot of friends are saying the same thing about bongs...vapes are good, but if you want a strong hit go with a bong. I'm still trying to figure out which one to get....how much does a nice bong usually cost?

 

depends on who you ask.. a "nice bong" to me will run in the $150-200 range..

 

Nice that's pretty much how much I have to spend on one. I might head over there today, find the best bong and post the name of it on this thread.

 

why not invent a bong that vaporizes

 

I'd say check out the VapeXhale.. but they took down their videos... maybe its been put to rest... was a cool mix of a vape that attached custom glass tubes to make a vaporbong

 

The one thing about the vap is it doesn't give you that buzzing high behind the eyes feel to it. Its like a cleaner high, which is probably better for you, but you just don't feel it like you do when you smoke from a pipe.

From a bong hit you get that intense buzzing sensation, feel it behind your eyes, and you can defiantly feel it as you get higher and higher.

With the vape, the increase in highness is very subtle. The high sometimes creeps in awhile after you smoked.

I know some top notch stoners, like the "tokindaily" guy, don't feel they have reached there sufficient high until they had a good vap hit though.

I haven't really had enough time with a vap to get the science of smoking it down. Maybe once achieved it would be a more better high then with the bong.

Another thing is that depending on which vap you get, it may take some time to plug it in, get it heated up, get it going, packing and unpacking it. Where as a bong, you just pack, hit, and highzersize!

Personally, I would go to the 711, get a 2 liter. Then go to the hardware store, get a socket. Then go home and make yourself a nice gravity bong. You get a pretty damn strong high, and it conserves weed really really well. Like the "tokindaily guy" I don't get my sufficient high until hit a gravvv!

 

Now I understand awesome. I'll google tutorials on making gravity bongs but if you have a website (or video) post it, I'd appreciate it. I'll make it tonight and hopefully get super baked.

 

Depending on the vape.. .Mflb is warmed up and hitting within 5seconds.. the extreme q is warmed and ready in 5-10min... log vapes take around 30-60min to warm up..

Some people love vape highs.. its a much "cleaner" high.. none of that cloudiness.. a much more functional high.. but like dreams said.. it does miss out on the "im completely fucked up" high.

Here is the other thing to take into consideration... smoke an 1/8th in a bong.. it'll last me 3 days tops.... vape an 1/8th.. it easily can last me 7 days... now.. smoke an oz from a bong.. what are you left with? a dirty bong and dirty bong water... Vape an ounce and what are you left with? Honey Oil caked inside your vape whip/parts(which tastes amazing when smoked/dabbed)... abv(already been vaped) which can be later used to make butter/hash/oil with... and your oz lasted you at least twice as long

 

Interesting, interesting. Vaporizing seems to offer a lot more long term benefits. Maybe saving up for both would be my best option.

I'll go for the bong first though, I like my crazy out of my mind high experiences

Have you tried smoking from one of those home made gravity bongs Dreams mentioned?

 

i use to when i was in highschool/college.. but i can afford good pipes... so no need to ghetto rig something... and meh... gravity bong is ok.. but if you want a homemade fool proof rig.. make yourself a waterfall..

Bongs will get you higher, and if you have the money you might as well get one. I have a good bong with a perc, and other pieces, but I love my grav though and use it more then anything else. It uses so little weed, and it gets me as high as a decent bong hit would. (not a fat bong pack, a decent) 3 gravs and Im good most the time tho, thats like .15 worth of trees.

Do the same thing as in that video, except with a 2 liter bottle (the old shaped, not the new fancy shaped ones).

Then get a tapered socket, so you can just shove the little end down in the cap, instead of using adhesive. Get about a 6 mm to 9mm socket depending on how much herb you want to pack. I like a 6 or 7 cause its a perfect personal size.

And instead of cutting one hole, cut 5 different 1/4 inch holes at the bottom of the bottle on each of the rivets. Then fill up a bucket full of water, and stick the bottle in the water bucket.

Put the herb in the cap, and pull the bucket up as you light it, and the water falling out the wholes in the bottom will create suction and pull your hit. Then you take and enjoy!!

 

I'm not dissin on bongs.. cuz i love'em.. got 3 myself... but all in all.. its one of the more unhealthy ways to smoke marijuana.....

what do you mean "dabbed?" do you dab it on your tongue or something?

that oil is some great stuff. when i actually used my vape frequently, and ran outta weed, i enjoyed taking the screens from the glass elbow part and smoking them. i'd get one or two nice bong rips of oil from that and be stoned. of course i could scrape the other pieces but that requires a little more effort (which is worth it, dont' get me wrong)

i don't really think using the vape saves that much weed. but maybe i just put more than i need, and get REALLY high. i did just try putting in the smallest amount of weed dust (prob like .1) and i caught a good buzz...but about an hour later and i'm ready to pack the bong and take two or three puffs.

an eight usually lasts me 5-7 days and that's 95% through my bong.

have you cooked with your vaped stuff yet, joker? what did you make? i wonder if making butter would be better than making hash/oil from it. i imagine anything from vaped stuff to taste pretty bad.

a proper bong is way better than a gravity bong. but to be honest, i did get a little nostalgic and get the urge to rip a g-bong.
