Have you wondered how people use a bong for cannabis? If so, you’ve come to the right place! This guide will teach you everything you need to know about using a bong for cannabis, including how to choose a suitable bong for you, how to set it up, and how to use it.
Cannabis has been used for centuries for its medicinal and recreational properties. In recent years, its popularity has grown exponentially as more and more people are discovering the joys of smoking cannabis.
Bongs are a great way to smoke cannabis, as they offer several advantages over other methods, such as pipes and joint rolling. Bongs are typically made of glass, making them easy to clean and provide a great smoking experience.
There are many different types of bongs available on the market, so it’s essential to choose one that is right for you. If you’re new to using bongs, it’s a good idea to start with a simple design. Once you’re more familiar with their work, you can move on to more complex structures.
When you’re ready to start smoking, follow these steps:
1. Fill the bowl with cannabis. It’s essential to use enough cannabis so that the bowl is packed tight, but not too tightly packed, as this will make it difficult to draw air through the bong.
2. Place your lips inside the mouthpiece and draw air through the bong. This will cause the water in the base of the bong to be bubbly and the cannabis in the bowl to start burning.
3. Inhale the smoke deeply and hold it in your lungs for a few seconds before exhaling.
4. Repeat as necessary!
Bong Smoking Methods
There are many different ways to smoke a bong, each with benefits. I’ll go over a few of the most popular methodologies so you can decide which is right for you.
The first method is the classic way to smoke a bong. You fill the bong with water, pack your bowl, and light it up. The water in the bong cools the smoke and makes it easier on your lungs. This is a great way to smoke if you’re new to bongs or looking for a smooth hit.
Another popular method is to use a bong without water. This is called dry hits or dry smoking. It’s not for everyone, but some people prefer the harsher hit. To dry smoke a bong, leave the water out of the equation. This can be done by not filling the bong with water or using a screen to keep the water out. It is worth noting that you may as well opt for a pipe If you wish to smoke in this way.
Another bong smoking method is to use ice in a bong. The Chongz Widow Maker, like the one I’ve used for years, is designed to be used with ice, though in reality, I don’t use it with ice anymore. It must be said that ice does cool the smoke. I also enjoy smoking bongs outside on a fantastic day, as the coolness of the air works in the same way, leading to a cooler, smoother hit.
The last method I want to talk about when it comes to using a bong for cannabis is using a percolator bong. Percolators are little devices that help to filter and cool the smoke. They’re usually located at the bottom of the bong, and they look like little discs or plates. Some say using a percolator makes for a smoother hit, but it’s up to personal preference.
These are just a few of the many ways to smoke a bong. Experiment and find the method that works best for you. And as always, be safe and responsible when indulging in any smoking.
