Bong that im gonna get soon

Gotcha. I'd sure as hell never buy a really nice piece of glass if I couldn't have it on display. I swear I'm going to set it on it's own shelf and stick flowers in it. Oh yeah, and if my parents didn't let me toke

 

phx trinity is flat-out the worst "high-end" piece on the market. Shitty fitment of joints and the sheer size and mechanics of it make for one disgusting rip. The reason you get high is from the lack of oxygen because you are trying so hard to clear the damn chambers.

I never thought in my life i would read anywhere or hear anyone say theyd take any phx over a roor. Especially the trinity.

BLECH

edit: i used to have the piece the OP posted. It was a great daily piece and i thoroughly enjoyed it. Getting a straight tubed roor with an ashcatcher makes sense, although i dont like ashcatchers myself. If you can find that same piece in white, go for it. I dont think they make em in white anymore but they are the same thickness (5.0mm)

 

White label RooR's are custom.


and thus, more expensive.

 

Not sure if they come with it free, Ive seen them on every illa Ive hit though...

 

keck clips?
percalators?
bong stopper?
poker?

what the hell are these things?

apparently i don't love bongs as much as i thought i do.

enlighten me fellow stoners

 

Ah, I thought I saw someone post on TC about them coming with it, but that might have just been from one website (yes there is a website that sells illadelph), or from just his headshop.

 

Keck clips are clips that hold the diffuser to the female joint on the bong or on your ashcatcher and look like this



Percolators are explained here

A bong stopper goes into the female glass joint to stop liquid from coming out of the bong when cleaning or transporting the bong with liquid in it. A picture of a bong stopper



A poker is a device used to push ash out of the bowl, unclog tightly packed weed, turn over weed, or whatever other purpose you may use it for. This is what a poker looks like this

 

^^^dude, full props for the explanations above. I learned a little myself from that.

personally, no matter how nicely a roor smokes, i would rather have a more curvy, colourful piece that looks like a true work of art

 

THANK YOU!

i guess i knew what keck clips were after all, just not their application in bong smoking.

a poker and stopper are pretty self explanatory i guess. i didn't know that companies actually made those tho! i have a long piece of metal from a curtain clip (poker) and a rubber stopper.

oh yea percalator. i still have to click your link. thanks again bro

 

interesting...from that wiki article they cited a NORML study that bongs filter out MORE thc than harmful tars. WHAT?
depressing more like it.

i've been sitting here for years thinking that my bong might be savin my lungs, at least a little.

man o man..
i need something to calm down......
hmmmm
a nice bong hit!

ps; if you look at that citation look at picture 3 i think; a battery powered bong with a wooden paddle to mix the smoke and water. AMAZING.

nice study actually

 

a quote

Are Waterpipes Counterproductive?
The study results are obviously discomforting to waterpipe enthusiasts, many of whom prefer the cooler, milder smoke they produce, and have naturally assumed it is also more healthful. Unfortunately, however, the study indicates that waterpipes may actually be counterproductive in increasing consumption of carcinogenic tars.
Nonetheless, it is still premature to judge that waterpipes are actually unhealthful, since they may filter out other, non-solid smoke toxins occurring in the gas phase of the smoke, which was not analyzed in the study. Noxious gases known to occur in marijuana smoke include hydrogen cyanide, which incapacitates the lung's defensive cilia; volatile phenols, which contribute to the harshness of the taste; aldehydes, which promote cancer; and carbon monoxide, a known risk factor in heart disease. Previous studies indicate that water filtration may be quite effective in absorbing some of these [Nicholas Cozzi, Effects of Water Filtration on Marijuana Smoke: A Literature Review, MAPS Newsletter, Vol. IV #2, 1993]. If so, waterpipes might still turn out to have net health benefits.
MAPS and California NORML are planning to undertake a second phase of the waterpipe study for the purpose of analyzing the gaseous phase of marijuana smoke.
In the meantime, the easiest way for most smokers to avoid harmful smoke toxins may be simply to smoke stronger marijuana. This strategy is apt to be more effective than any smoke filtration device. By simply replacing the low, 2.3% potency NIDA marijuana used in this study with high-quality 12%-sinsemilla, smokers could presumably reduce their tar intake by a factor of five while still achieving the same effect. Further improvements could be had by using pure THC or hash oil, which has been tested at potencies of 60%.

 

THC Transfer Rate
The MAPS-NORML study provides new information on the efficiency of different devices in delivering THC from marijuana to the user. Previous studies have shown that 60% - 80% of the THC burned in joints or waterpipes is lost in slipstream smoke, adhesion to the pipestem and bowl, pyrolysis, etc. [Mario Perez-Reyes, Marijuana Smoking: Factors that Influence the Bioavailability of Tetrahydrocannabinol, in C. Nora Chiang and Richard Hawks, ed., Research Findings on Smoking of Abused Substances, NIDA Research Monograph 99, 1990]. The percentage of total THC delivered to the user is called the THC transfer rate. The unfiltered joint scored surprisingly well in smoking efficiency, coming in second place with a transfer rate close to 20%. The portable waterpipe did slightly better, and the bong slightly worse. The other devices did notably worse. The vaporizers and electric waterpipe did especially poorly, with transfer rates less than one-third that of the top three devices. Thus, heavy smokers could literally be blowing most of their stash away with bad pipes.
Note:
Contrary to the initial version of this article, which erroneously stated that THC vaporizes at 155º C, the Merck Manual lists the vaporization point of THC as 200º in vacuum. The vaporization point at normal atmospheric pressure appears to be unknown, but is thought to be in the range 250-400º.

420 dollars? fuck that. Unless your just that rich. I'd buy a normal bong and an O. fuck that flashy stuff, name brand bongs and shit.
