Bongs

Bongs have been used for centuries, proven by excavations done such as Kurgan, Russia, in 2013, where bongs dating back 2400 years were found.

This way of smoking is traditional to southeast Asia and has been for millenia, arriving to the US in the 60s after the Vietnam war, with “hippie” culture spreading fast.

Bongs have always been more used in the US than Europe, although the creation of extracts such as BHO or Rosin has made them popular again.

What Parts are in a Bong?

If you’re just starting out in the world of bongs, they may seem kind of complex, but they’re actually incredibly easy to use. Let’s have a look at the parts of a bong:

• The base, which is where the smoke is filtered through water.
• The bowl is where the cannabis or extract goes. They usually have a metal grid which stops any bits of weed from filtering into the bong.
• The stem is the tube that connects the bowl with the inside of the bong. In some models. The stem is attached to the bong, and in others it’s a separate piece.
• The neck of the bong is the side which your mouth goes on when you inhale the smoke. Some of the have a holder for ice used to cool down the smoke.
• Carburator: along the body of the bog you’ll see a small hole designed to be covered by your finger. When you inhale, a vacuum is created which pushes the smoke into the bong. On the last drag, you’ll need to remove your finger from the carb hole, allowing you to get the rest of the smoke out of the bong and into your lungs.
• Percolator: some bongs have an ingenious tool that divides the smoke so that it filters through the water more and cools down even more. The percolator creates more contact surface between the water and smoke. This makes for a much more intense flavour and a cooler smoke.

Does Smoking From a Bong Get you Higher?

Consuming cannabis in a bong is usually conceived as giving you a more intense high. Unlike vaporizers or joints (which are a slow way to consume), bongs allow you to consume much more, much faster, making for an immediate effect. What’s happening here isn’t that the effect is faster or more intense, it’s that you’re consuming the same amount of cannabis you’d consume over a few minutes in an instant.

Bongs Available at La Huerta Grow Shop

We stock bongs for all needs and preferences. We stock acrylic bongs as well as borosilicate glass bongs.

Acrylic bongs are more durable and ideal for consumers that like to take their bong with them on trips or out partying.

However, borosilicate bongs are much better when it comes to pure flavours. They’re definitely better for keeping at home.

Some bongs, as we were saying earlier, can also hold ice in the neck as well as water in the base, which causes smoke to cool down even more. These are definitely some of the best bongs, producing the best flavours.
