im looking for a pretty cool bong of some sort. or maybe a vape if cheap enough.

first of all, its gotta be a website in the UK (with a UK address) that accepts credit cards.

so what im looking for in my new bong is, medium size, not too big, it has to be hidden quite easierly ;) im not bothered about the color although a selection would be nice.

price is a major factor. i seen a website that had really cheap bongs that looked really good. they were just really boring and not quite the design i want.

im abit confused in looking round some websites. they seem to have different kind of bongs.. i was only aware of one... just one that u smoke,lol.

whats the difference between, ice bongs,glass,plastic, and whatever other bongs are out there. i was looking at glass bongs because they look nice :) :hug:

can any1 recommend one to me?

is there a difference in smoke with each of them? difference in smoothness?

cheers

edit: also i just seen bubble bongs ......... what are they? oh and links would be great if any1 can be bothered.

ice bongs, ahh so smooth. they usually have notches in the stem so that you can drop a few cubes down it, hit the pack n let'er cool down a bit before you hit it. plastic? never seen one, wouldnt reccomend, your putting a lighter to it! so go glass, or an ice catcher, or maybe a bubbler?:weed:

whats the differences? so with an ice bong, it is ribbed up the stem and u have to put ice cubes in there, that will cool the smoke before it reaches ur mouth? sounds pretty cool.

can u get a glass ice bong? lol sorry im newb with bongs. only had home made ones.


and the plastic ones, yes, they are plastic but have a metal screw on piece but they look rubbush imo.

This is just a site I found from a google search. Not sure if they take credit cards or not.

Personally I just like a simple single chamber plain clear glass bong, so I can see what the water looks like inside and make sure no cockroaches or anything have decided to turn it into a pool.

Like this:



I haven't looked into the different designs or their advantages/disadvantages, this is the type my friends had when i started smoking with them so im used to it and it does the job so i figure why change.

I used to keep mine in the cardboard box it came in, just so if anyone happened to come into my room it wouldn't be obvious (or you could hide it in a cupboard or something but be careful its not gonna get knocked over cause you dont want spilt bong water).

Make sure the base is fairly sturdy, you don't want a bong that's too easy to knock over (just my opinion).

I cracked the glass on mine trying to take the metal pipe out to clean it. I sealed the small crack up with electrical tape for a few weeks before chucking it out. I don't get to smoke so much at the moment so I couldn't be fucked buying a new one, I just use a sports drink bottle for now (with the metal pipe/cone piece from the actual bong). Does the job but it's not quite the same.

thanks, i found that site as well.

can someone explain about glass bongs.

ive been looking at some, and some a decent and ones i would buy. but what happens if u dont have nugs to put into ur glass down pipe? lets say u have a mix,... would i have to create a gauge? also has to have one of those handy removable bowls. if thats the case then i think im gonna go with an acrylic or ice bong.

The best way is not online.

Get stoned go to your local head shop and hold a few pieces, or just tough them when you ask to see them.

You'll know when the one for you is there you'll feel it when you touch it.

i only have credit card. no shops near me accept any other payment except cash.

so if u can recommend one... that'd be great.

a slide is the peice with a stem thats coming out of the femal end. it may be referred to as a male, but it holds the bud in it, like a bowl.

Everyonedoesit(as someone suggested earlier) has a fairly good selection of bongs. the weed stars are pretty good quality and great for the price. some come with diffusers others dont. whats annoying you about slides? is there anything else you need help with?

if you want to know more about bongs check the link in my sig.

EDIT (Everyone Does IT) has a strong following, though they also have long shipping times.

i think most of their following is because you cant really find any other sites with a decent bong selection. its really the only legitimate headshop online. there are other sites that sell pipes and such but are often times shady(inferior glass) and dont carry as good of a selection as EDIT. shipping may be longer because the sites based in the uk but the OP's location says hes in the UK already so i dont see it being a huge problem.



p.s. what do you mean the stores only accept cash? you cant get your hands on cash? how do you pay the credit card bill?
