I can't smoke anything but a bong

I have been smoking bud pretty much daily for the last year and a half with a few breaks in-between. My problem is that when I try and use a small pipe the smoke always burns the shit out of my lungs. With a bong the smoke is cooled and while it can be harsh sometimes is often easier to smoke.

I almost feel like I should have grown out of this but every time I puff off a small pipe I either get little bits of weed in my lungs or the smoke makes me want to throw up. What am I doing wrong?

sounds like you have a shitty pipe, buy a new one

sounds like you seriously need a vape!

or make edibles.

but something tells me you don't have the stash for edibles. so you should definitely invest in a vaporizer . . . . . . . herbalaire goes for 250 . . . www.herbalaire.com

I just went to the head shop and was clueless for what to look for so I bought yet another shitty acrylic bong. I like them if they wouldn't break every fucking time I try and clean then.

The only pipe I ever owned was like 4" long total and had a tiny little bowl. Should I look for a longer pipe?

get a bigger pipe/glass pipe and if you still get pieces of ash or bud in your mouth just put a screen in it....Im retired from bongs myself, they hurt Lol

pipes are always harsh.

the combustion using a lighter is what's fuckin you over.

joints are the only way to go if you HAVE to smoke. or use a herb iron or something similar to cause the smoldering effect.

but for real bro, you sound like you need a vaporizer.

Im gonna tell you what tho...If you get a vaporizer it will ruin your tolerence. Might as well forget about ever smoking joints again or bowl because it gonna take 5 joints in a row to get a buzz. My buddy owns the volcano vaporizer, its great for parties but i wouldnt wanna smoke it everyday. Your tolerence goes thru the roof

that's also not true.

it is smoking that fucks up your tolerance.

good bag vapes like the herbalaire (much more economic than the volcano)or the volcano, only make your tolerance better.

when you get used to a bag vape, you'll be stoned ALL DAY, off of up to 3X less bud (for me this was completely true.) there is no cap out point like with smoking.

when you smoke all the time, vaporizers don't really work that well on you.

you have to make yourself exclusive to vaporizing to truly utilize the benefits.

I have a vape and I have baked before but I need to smoke. I don't have time to sit down with the vape for a half hour and I am not growing right now so I don't have the cash to bake enough goodies.

Smoking is nice because I can do it quick but I hate the idea of going all the way home to use my bong. I need something small I can whip out, smoke and then put it back.

Well in my case Im a heavy duty smoker...like 5-10times a day. So for me the vaporizer ruins my tolerence, i know firsthand once you get used to smoking the vaporizer joints dont do anything for you

I know everybody is different and all that jazz but honestly i dont get how some people say that vaporizers save more weed than bongs..Ive smoked outta a couple different vaporizers and none of them get me nearly as high as my bong does. I need one fat bong pack and im good for a few hours, with the vape i need atleast like 2 or 3 to be nice and level headed for a couple hours. I mean i feel high after the first one but it will always fade quickly if i dont keep smoking.

But anyways im the same way as the OP, Pipes basically make me wanna puke everytime i use one cause to me they taste bad and burns my throat. They just make smoking so harsh. The only time i smoke from a pipe is if its a BRAND NEW glass pipe and im getting in on the first go around, but other than that fuck no.


May i suggest a glass bubbler..I Bought one for my dad awhile back and he loves it. Its only a tiny bit bigger than a bowl and needs very little water to work. You can keep it in a glove box of your car or carry it in your pockets if you needed to.(depending on the size bubbler you buy, they have some like 3 inches tall lol) My dads is kinda like this but orange.

Just get you a glass pipe (not to mention vaporizers cost hundreds dollars) I'd rather personally smoke hash. Im no medical patient either just a recreational smoker and pipes are fast and easy

of course they don't.

dude I smoked like 12 joints a day before I got this thing.

I use like 4x less weed now, get higher and everything.

so I don't care what you seem to believe about vaporizing, I was a HEAVY fuckin smoker, I have pounds to blaze and I need to be blazed all day.

this vaporizer allows me to do this off of 3-4x less weed. whatever the fuck that translates to you I don't know. but it should be that this is WORTH not smoking joints .

Lol every thread I see you on you're advocating vapes,

and I understand why they're fuckin sweet

Sounds like your a pussy!

No just kidding.


But seriously, take your tokes slower, and check out bee line




[youtube]GZBk50Mm1fY[/youtube]

It makes your hits a LOT smoother (even in the bong) and say bye bye to headeaches and harsh hits



It costs like $20 a spool (200ft of thick string) and I've been using it for like 6 months now and probably have like 90ft left, I give out like 15 feet to friends all the time they LOVE it

if you buy through mauithings.com use the promo code, "iluvmaui" for like 10% off

Get a Soldering Iron, and use it instead of a lighter. Also get a nice long Spoon pipe. Check out some of FDD's pipes.

Budbomb is a cool waterless and paperless way to smoke with combustion.

I had this problem. To me, it sounds like you are far to used to .5 gram bong rips.

Load a little bit less in your pipe, take 3-4 smaller hits.

Yes, it will definitely feel much hotter than you are used to because you are directly contrasting the feeling of water cooled smoke that you have habituated.

Pipe highs are so much diff than bong highs but I'll always prefer my bong.
