Hitting the PD through a bong allows for a larger hit for a few reasons, especially if used with hot water.
One, is that due to the volume of the bong and the additional pressure that can be exerted on the PD's bowl than can be provided with your lungs alone, you can pull more out of the PD's bowl in one hit than you can with just your lungs.
Secondly, is that the vapor will be cooler due it having to travel further than just the PD's stem and if used with hot water, will add warm moisture. Between the vapor being cooler yet with warm moisture added to it, the hit is a lot smoother, allowing your lungs to take in a larger hit.
And thirdly, and this is up for debate being that I have no scientific study to prove this, but from my experience, it seems that the hot water in the vape allows your lungs to work more efficiently, thereby allowing your lungs to more efficiently process the THC.
You do lose a little THC due to the added contact with the glass and the water, but I believe that the above things more than compensates for that loss.

That's an interesting observation about the hot water. I saw the thread about it and skimmed it at the start. Meant to get back and see what the results were. Cool indeed.
Vapor sounds wet, doesn't it? But is it? PD the vapor is pretty arid In My Opinion, I think others are too... Adding humidification to this dry air is good sense. Hot water would obviously add more, more, more.
Now here is an idea I have been bouncing around. Anybody who wants to run with this go for it. How about a humidification device? Nothing so industrial strength as the Icer, just a cotton puff, dampened, shook or squeezed out and put 'in-line' stuffed into the vapor path and occasionally re-wetted. Not much cotton needed just a filter of sorts, but damp.

"What do the Mormons have to do with bongs?", asks Ash.
Nothing that I can figure. Mormons are pretty respectable IMO. I liked them, and lived near Rexburg for a while on a farm, a predominantly Mormon town. A nice time. I used to go down the street for a great carry out dish at the gas stop. Potatoes and onions and peppers, ham, cheese, an a lot of delicious. Yep, delicious had to be the ingredient, cause I have had the other stuff.
Good times, I like Idaho.
I like lots of places, lots of people. Religion is not something I judge folks by. Just who they are...

Sorry, but yes it does. I do not class people. 
On to other stuff:
I have bored some Black Walnut and Alder today, as a side project. Wanted to see how the Carbide vs. HSS bits worked. Nice progress.
Did a couple of stash boxes the other day and found a new way of mating the two surfaces. And Pammy an I have been using a different design... A hockey puck sort. Gonna have to show those soon.

lwien, seriously, what did you mean by "LDS" in your earlier post?
Tom, if you look at our post-times, they're less than one minute apart. My post wasn't a reply to yours. I was replying to lwien, who was asking for the punch line. No punch line. I'm just trying to find out what he meant.
Anyway, I guess it's time to drop it because we're now waaay off topic. Did I just hijack the thread? Sorry folks.
And, why would I ask a question in the first line of a post and then suggest that I'm "dropping it" in the third? Moderator, moderator, help, help, I can't seem to self-edit!

Private jokes are never funny in public, my apologies.
Sorry. Our wood comes from Idaho.
Alder is a nice wood in the shop. Some aren't.
I think Ebony was the worst
Followed by Cocobolo.

I think with bamboo your best bet would be to just find a stalk about the right radius. They naturally consist of sections, so the top and bottom come for free too -- no turning or boring would be necessary. A friend of mine made a pretty neat bamboo bong this way. That being said, there are a lot of difficulties with bamboo.

The bamboo I was talking about isn't stalk bamboo. I don't know if you've ever seen hardwood bamboo floors. I happen to have bamboo floors in my house and they are composed of many small strips glued together to give it an attractive look. If it was a PD I'm sure it would look decent.
I think this would look nice on a pd if the strips ran vertically.. http://www.power-international.us/bamboo_flooring/Vertical_Coffee_Solid_Bamboo_Flooring.jpg

Actually yea come to think of it I HAVE seen that bamboo flooring when my friend was installing it in his condo. I don't know why I didn't think of that when you mentioned it and instead the stalk bamboo popped into my mind. My apologies because that type of bamboo does seem a bit more practical for the application in mind. Looks really great too

No worries sour. I assumed most people would mistake it for the stalk stuff anyway. But yeah it does look kind pretty but like I said, Im not sure how easy it would be to work with so im not really the one to say if its actually practical or not. Just an idea. Can't wait for my Alder pandora! That should be fun.

I have had my purple days since january and i notice now there is something rattling around inside.
I know it isn't the clip that holds the heater in as some others had a problem with that.
It sounds like something very small and metal is broken or something although it is still producing vapor???
Any idea what this could be and if it should be looked at??

Must be something like that. Seems to be working normally at least. I also tried to shake it out but couldn't get it.
