Which bong is better?

This is my first. I have never bought a bong and I want this to be the only bong I ever want and need. Money is a concern but what is even more of a concern is getting a bong that is inferior. So after researching bongs like crazy these are the two that I have decided upon. I only want to get one out of the two. I don't know which is a better deal.

http://www.bongoutlet.ca/fingers-percolator-glass-water-bongs-p-1093.html

I like the bong from the bongoutlet.ca because it is the cheapest in USD out of the two and offers more perculators then the other one.

http://www.herbaltools.co.uk/Black-Leaf-Bong-Diffusion-Chamber-Glass-Bong-p/blackleaf-14.htm

However I like the herbal one just because it is the only one I can find online for it's low price that offers perculators, and a defussion adaptor and defussion chamber.

So I guess my question really is, does a difussion chamber and adapter really make it better when compared to a device that has more perculators?

i would spend the money at a local head shop.. on a nice quality glass piece homie.. its much better to look, feel than just ordering off line...

i personally like Grav Labs.i own two myself soon to get the "build a bong".. but i believe in nice high quality glass.. makes a diff in the smoke i think

but if you don't have a headshop.. then sure order it up.

i would get the herbal to.. just because u can add on a perculator, ash catcher.. or w.e.. thats what i did to mine

For lower priced, thick, USA blown production pieces look at Sheldon Black, US Tubes, and Kind Creations. I own a Sheldon Black beaker bong. Its thick as hell and I use it alot. When I refill the water after getting baked I usually ding it against my shower wall. No problem. I sometimes set it down hard on the ground when Im tooo baked, again no problem. Great daily driver. Easy to clean. For easier hits make sure to match a good flowing bowl and a nice downstem perc or else its hard to fill with smoke and clear in one breath. Those little restrictions at the joint can play havoc with your hits.

I also own 2 Kind Creations that I share with my brother. These are both also very thick but you have to be careful with the build a bong. If the pieces arent made to exact specifications, they lock together and they're almost impossible to pry apart, then clean.

If you bargain with your local headshop, you can get one of these pieces for under $150.

Can some please tell. What practical purpose does a diffusion chamber have? What does it do that is so special that a non diffusion chamber bong can't do that makes it cost more? And also diffusion adapter. What does that do? I honestly would rather get the cheaper one because it has more perculators but I don't know because I don't know if the percs make it better than the diffusion things the other one has because I don't know what those things do.

So no one knows? What a diffusion chamber and adapter do? Or if they are better than a bong with more perculators?

just buy a bong bro.. diffusers just are usally built in the stem of the bong lilttle slits or holes making the bubbles. and a perculator is doing the same thing..

stole for different site...

"Diffusers can be on any tube in your pipe. On the ends of percolater arms, downstem, you can even have a diffuser in your slide. You can get disc diffusers in the base of your bong with the water. Hell, you can buy glass beads to put in your bong, thats technically a diffuser as well. The basic idea is that the more you can split the smoke up, the more you can cool it down. More surface area basically. The cooler the smoke is the smoother the hit. Also, as its going through all the percolators, its got that up and down movement through all the tubes, that also helps to cool the smoke, as it takes more time to reach your lungs."

So because it chineese. And the amount of percs you get for under 100 is a guarentee that it will not last long or has bad quality really? Is what your saying.

If anyone can tell me why it wouldn't last as long as the other choice even if I take perfect care of it then please tell me before I get it. I know it's not as perfect quality as the other one but I plan on being careful.

Did you read my post? as Reklaw stated above, more percs more little areas for resin to get stuck. Chinese glass is thinner. There is a thread on this forum from a guy who's bong base just fell out. That should give you an idea as to why you shouldn't buy chinese crap glass. Another $50 bucks and you'll have something that will last you longer, look better, be easier to clean, and smoke better.

For the same price. Can you recommend a nice percolator one that is better quality? Or is the black leaf one I mentioned earlier the only one that for under 150. Can give me that quality and percolator ness without over doing it on the percolators?

Click to expand...

But don't you want more percs. So that more areas exist to collect more resin to get stuck in? Is that not a good thing? I would think that. You would want resin to get stuck as much as you can because with that you can use ISO to get more hash out of and smoking hash is always more potent and therefore more enjoyable is it not compared to just getting more resin from ungrounded herb that is being vaped?
