Smoking a Vaporizer or a Bong: What’s Better?

The concept of the bong—for those of you who who didn’t live in my dorm—is that the smoke passes through some water, with the primary objective being to cool the smoke down. Vaporizing weed (which heats the bud to the point where the good stuff turns to vapor, but the nasty stuff doesn’t burn) is already way easier on your throat and lungs. Adding bong filtration makes the heat even lower, the vapor a little less dry, and everything feel incredibly smooth. Vaporizers are mostly battery-powered, portable plastic or stainless-steel handheld devices that produce vapor without burning your chosen herb or concentrate. On the other hand, bongs are usually constructed from glass and use a naked flame to burn your herbs. The vapor produced by weed vape, concentrate, and oil vapes are much less harsh and clear from carcinogens and other toxins in smoke.

Even if you’re using a portable, there is always the risk of dropping your bong, your vape, or both. If you prefer to hold it in your hand, always keep it upright to prevent any water from spilling out, and make sure your bong isn’t wet so you can grip it firmly water pipes and not worry about it slipping. A good way to prevent this from happening is to grip the bong firmly with your dominant hand while supporting your vape in the other hand. The last thing you want to happen is your bong tipping over from the weight of your vape.

Other “middle of the road” water bong joint sizes include 14.5mm and 18.8mm.. Sometimes if your bong is too small and your pull is too strong, you may get a bit of water pulled into your mouth. Dirty bong water in your mouth is something you want to avoid, which makes splash guards the perfect solution as it prevents water from entering your mouth upon inhalation with bongs and pipes. A percolator is much like a downstem, but it’s larger and creates many more bubbles when inhaling with a bong. It also allows for more filtration, making it a very smooth and easy pull and very popular for smokers.

However, for reasons unbeknownst to me they are yet to release an attachment that will fit the new Arizer ArGo. This allows you to pull super dense clouds of vapor without having to worry about what’s in the smoke. For a person that’s used to smoking from a water pipe, I can’t recommend vaping from a bong highly enough. Vaporizers like the Arizer vaporizers bongs Solo offer additional glass attachments that allow you to stick it into the end of any 14mm or 18mm stem. You’d be surprised at how much of a difference it makes, and you’re able to take huge hits of clean cool vapor. Have you ever wanted to try vaporizing your dry herbs but feel that it would be difficult to transition from smoking to vaping?
