The bong, or water pipe, is often considered the most powerful tool by smokers. In general, bongs are made of glass which are carefully designed and decorated to achieve a beautiful final shape. This type of pipe can also be made of acrylic, bamboo, and ceramic. Smoking from a bong is different from smoking from a regular rolled cigarette because the bong has a chamber that can hold more smoke. Follow these steps to learn how to smoke from a bong without embarrassing yourself.
Step
Step 1. Fill the bong with water
Pour water until the stem is submerged as deep as 1-2, 5 centimeters. Enter the water from the top of the chamber. The chamber is a cylindrical tube through which the user inhales smoke from the bong.
- Filling the bong with too much water can cause water to splash into the mouth or wet the burning substance when it inhales smoke.
- Water bongs can be very annoying if they splash on your face.
- Put ice into the chamber to cool the rising smoke. Some argue that doing this can make the smoke smoother when smoked.
Step 2. Pour the substance to be burned into the bowl
The bowl is a tablespoon-sized bowl located on the side of the bong. Most bowls are removable and act as carbs that must be removed later when smoking to release the smoke.
- Fill the bowl just below the tip with the substance that has been ground or powdered. You can grind the substance by tearing, shearing, or using a marijuana or tobacco grinder.
- Avoid filling the bowl too little. Flakes that are too fine can be sucked into the bong when you smoke. Overfilling the bowl can also cause blockages and block the air outlet.
Step 3. Place the mouth on the top of the chamber
Insert the lips into the mouth of the chamber, do not put the mouth of the chamber into your mouth.
- Avoid leaving saliva at the mouth of the chamber. Leaving saliva in the mouth of the chamber is against smoking etiquette and is also disgusting.
- Make sure your mouth is firmly attached to the mouth of the chamber to avoid air leakage when smoking.
Step 4. Place your finger on the carb
Some bongs have carbs. Carb is a simple hole located on the side or stem of the bong. If you smoke from this type of bong cover the hole with one finger before lighting the bowl.
- Many bongs do not have carbs. In this type of bong, you must release the bowl once the chamber is filled with smoke.
- If the bowl can't be removed, you don't have to worry about the function of the carb. The function is not absolute when smoking from the bong.
Step 5. Ignite the substance while sucking
Continue to ignite the substance while placing your lips in the mouth of the chamber and sucking air through the mouth. You can stop igniting once the substance starts to glow red.
Step 6. Inhale vigorously until the chamber is filled with smoke
You can try to make as much or as little smoke as possible. Try filling the chamber only halfway if this is your first smoking experience. If not, suck the chamber until it is filled with smoke.
Step 7. If the bong has carbs, lift your finger or remove the bowl from the chamber
Do this step to release the burning substance and get the smoke out of the bong easily.
-
If you need time to quit smoking, cover the mouth of the bong with your palm before removing the carb.
Smoke from a Bong Step 7Bullet1 - If you leave the bong without closing the carb smoke in the chamber will come out slowly.
Step 8. Swallow the remaining smoke
You don't need to suck hard once the carb is opened. Smoke can be inhaled easily because air can enter through the hole.
Step 9. Let the smoke sit in your lungs for a few seconds before exhaling it all
Step 10. Change the carb you use and give the bong to the person on your left when smoking together
Tips
- Change the water bong every time you smoke. Dirty bong water can cause unpleasant odors and can affect the taste of cigarettes.
- Coughing when exhaling smoke is common and nothing to worry about.
- Clean your bong with salt, alcohol, and hot water every few weeks, depending on how often you use it. You can use a regular-handled kitchen utensil scrubber to clean tight areas.
- Most people do not immediately exhale the smoke that is inhaled when smoking.
- Sometimes there will be smoke remaining in the bong after being smoked.
- Whatever substance the cigarette is made of, inhale the smoke until your lungs are full and exhale as usual. This method will absorb 95% of the active mixture contained in the smoke. Storing smoke for too long will also increase tar levels in the lungs.
Warning
- Do not exhale while your mouth is still in the mouth of the bong. The stem will be thrown out of the bong and the burned substance will be scattered.
- Smoking certain substances can cause adverse effects on your health and/or is illegal.
