Anyone used perculated bongs and bubblers?

[tdavie]

Just curious. I picked up a 3 perc bubbler Tuesday, June 14th. Used it 4 times that day, and once today. Also today I just took a hit from a double 12 arm tree perc tube (? is that the term).

Using either the bubbler or bong seems smoother and easier on the throat than smoking joints.

Using the bong seems smoother and easier than using the bubbler, but I attribute this at least partly due to the compartively poor perculation on the bubbler (a simple, non diffused downstem in 3 separate compartments), and the better filtration on the bong (2 twelve arm tree percs plus a 6 arm tree perc ashcatcher).

Someone out there who has used 'good' (and I realise this is a subjective term) bubblers from Sheldon Black, Luke or Jake Wilson? Any other good lab glass type bubblers? I prefer clean lines and generally do not like colored glass or worked (?) pieces. I'm cool with having delicate pieces of glass; I work in a lab and treat glassware with respect.


Prefer it to be 10 inches in height or less; want compact and squat.

Thanks for reading this stoned rant.

the LW 15 arm bub is popular, if you can find one.

EFS does custom tubes and bubblers, might want to check that out. very high quality custom glass.

if you want REALLY compact try a headford inline....

I will let you know when I think of more.

Id suggest this but its not a bub and its a direct inject instead of a regular female joint. http://aqualabtechnologies.com/scientific-glass/ben-wilson/b-wilson-mini-inline-vapor-tube-10-0.html

there is another dimension to bongs that i've always loved, and it's the howitzer effect of the carb, but that was mostly with smoke, not vapor.

I know you said before you hadn't much experience with a bong, and so just want to make sure you got this point: on standard bongs there's some way to carb the hit, so you breath and breath until you see smoke near your lips, then exhale everything, and (quickly) carb the hit, shot-gunning it into your lungs at a very high rate of speed. it's supposed to be as quick as shot-gunning a hit of tobacco smoke from your mouth into your lungs, just a "click" and it's all gone.

percs and all can slow the clearing, but it's odd when I see people who don't breath out before taking their hits, like taking football and making it look like baseball. hehe There's a definite violence to taking a bong hit. (Oh, and it's not healthy for the lungs, the way I described taking hits, it exerts undue pressures on the tissues in the lungs)
