They’re an iconic staple in cannabis culture and have provided many weed enthusiasts with buttery smooth smoking experiences and unrivalled highs. For many newcomers to the world of cannabis, getting your hands on a bong can either be an extremely exciting moment or an incredibly intimidating one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever your case may be, we’d hate to see your lack of experience in handling a bong cause you to shy away from using one, which is why we’ve created an in-depth guide on how to use a bong!<\/span><\/p>\n

Without any further delay, let’s jump right in and get started!<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Bong?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

A bong is a specially-designed water pipe that is used for smoking <\/span>weed<\/span><\/a>. Bongs have been around for <\/span>generations<\/span><\/a> and are some of the most popular pieces of equipment in cannabis culture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They are a go-to method to filter and cool the smoke using water for a smoother smoking experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using a bong practically eliminates the chances of a smoker burning their throat or lungs while they inhale the smoke.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bongs actually operate in a very straightforward manner. They are comprised of a handful of removable and customizable pieces, including a mouthpiece, usually located at the top of the bong, a water chamber where the water is stored, and a downstem where the bowl is inserted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When a smoker ignites their weed and inhales the smoke, it flows from the bowl through the downstem, where it gets filtered from tar and ash and cooled by water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon removing the bowl from the downstem, a vacuum is created, allowing the smoke to flow from the water chamber to the smoker’s lungs. <\/span><\/p>\n

What are the Benefits?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Bongs have cemented themselves as a time-honoured gadget in cannabis culture. There are a lot of reasons why many cannabis enthusiasts are pro-bong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Below are some of the most common:<\/span><\/p>\n

Water Filtration<\/b><\/h3>\n

One of the most apparent benefits of learning how to use a bong is its ability to<\/span> filter unhealthy toxins out of the smoke<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As you are probably already aware, inhaling the raw smoke from a joint or pipe is never really too good for your lungs. Luckily,<\/span> multiple studies<\/span><\/a> have found that the water in a bong actually acts as an effective filtration device, as the \u201cwater filtration reduces both the amount of particulate matter and the number and quantity of toxic substances in the smoke that passes through it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Researchers have also <\/span>found<\/span><\/a> that smoke passing through water also removes many of its toxins and harmful compounds. As a long-term option for consuming cannabis, bongs are a great tool when keeping your health in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

No Need to Roll<\/b><\/h3>\n

Another benefit of using a bong is that you no longer are required to <\/span>roll joints<\/span><\/a>. Although the art of rolling can be a fun and creative process, it ultimately takes time to complete.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A bong simplifies this by giving tokers a reusable and reliable piece of equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Great for Groups<\/b><\/h3>\n

Make no mistake about it, bongs are excellent for smoking in large groups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They don’t have the time restraint like joints do and can offer tokers a smooth a velvety smoking experience without too much pressure. Each participant will choose how much weed to consume and can go at their own pace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, bongs also offer up a great deal of customization, allowing users to change out parts with ease, making it highly customizable to personal or group preference.<\/span><\/p>\n
