Smoking 101: How To Use a Bong (Properly)

What Is A Bong?

A bong is a glass piece that has been designed specifically for smoking marijuana. It’s also known as an ‘airlock’ or a ‘water pipe’.

The main purpose of this device is to filter out all the smoke and vapor produced by your cannabis plant. This way you will get a cleaner hit than if you smoked straight from the bud without any filtering.

The best thing about using a bong is that it allows you to enjoy the full flavor of your herb. You don’t have to worry about inhaling too much smoke because the airlock filters it out.

How To Use A Bong

What you will need:

  • The bong
  • The weed
  • A lighter
  • A lot of water
  1. First of all, you will need to buy some glassware and some weed. You will also need to get your hands on some water. The reason you will need quite a bit of water the first time you use a bong is that you will have to experiment to learn how much smoke it produces.
    Bongs tend to produce a lot of smoke, you will be using the water to cool it down before you breathe it in. This means that if you don’t have anything to cool down the smoke with, you could end up burning yourself.
    So make sure that you have plenty of water around so that you can cool off any smoke that comes from your bong.
  2. Next, take a look at the size of the piece of glassware that you want to use. It should be big enough to fit comfortably into your mouth. Also, make sure that it has an opening that is large enough for your lips to fit through.
  3. Now you will need to fill the glass with water. Make sure that the water isn’t too cold or too hot because you will be smoking out of it.
  4. Once you have filled the glass with water, put it in front of you and light the bowl using a lighter. Then inhale slowly and deeply until you feel like you are getting high.
  5. When you first begin to smoke out of a bong, you may find that you cannot really taste the weed. But as time goes by, you will become more accustomed to the flavor of the herb.
  6. After you have smoked out of the bong for about 10 minutes, you should notice that the smoke coming out of the top of the glass is now much cooler than the smoke that was coming out of your lungs.
  7. At this point, you should be able to see the smoke floating inside the glass. As long as you keep blowing air into the bottom of the glass, the smoke will remain inside the glass.
  8. Once you have finished smoking out of the bong, you should remove the stem from the glass and dispose of it safely.
  9. Make sure that you clean your bong before putting it away. You do not want it to get moldy between uses.

Summary

A bong is a glass smoking pipe that allows you to smoke weed without a filter and enjoy a better flavor. The bong is filled with water to cool down the smoke and make it less painful to inhale.

Once you have learned to use a bong, you may never go back to smoking a joint ever again.
