Why vape through a bong?

Vape pens are a recent phenomenon. They are portable vaporizers and have all kinds of benefits over traditional combustion devices, but they’re not without their downsides too. One of the main problems with vaping is that it can get expensive to buy cartridges full of juice that’s relatively difficult to find in stores, and they’re not generally designed for long-term use. Plus, some of the best flavors are known for their ability to cover a room with a strong and lingering smell.

While traditionalists scoff at the idea of vaping through a bong, there’s no denying that it’s a much better and cheaper nicotine delivery system than most vape pens. If you’re sick of buying high-priced cartridges or you’d like to save money on smoking in general, you should consider replacing your vape pen with a bong. It’s still an investment for most people but can pay off by saving you cash over time. Whether or not it ends up being more economical will depend on how much you spend on cartridges in the first place.

Vape pens are powered by lithium-ion batteries, and many models come with USB chargers that can be plugged into a computer or wall socket. A cartridge, which contains the liquid that you’re vaping, is loaded into the pen and then placed in the mouthpiece. The cartridge has a wick of some kind so the juice can be inhaled after it passes through a heating element in the body of the pen. Cartridges are typically available in various strengths of nicotine and contain different amounts of liquid, usually from about 0 mg to 30 mg. This amount varies from company to company, but most contain about 10 mg.

You can buy refillable cartridges if you want to save money, but they aren’t as widely available as pre-filled models. You may also be able to buy your own liquid and fill it up, but this is only recommended if you know exactly what you’re doing. It’s much more convenient to buy pre-filled cartridges or juices from a vape shop because they’re already mixed with nicotine and have the correct ratios of chemicals. Many are also flavored with things like cinnamon, sour apple, chocolate and so on for a better taste than you’ll find with standard tobacco products.

A bong is one of the oldest ways of smoking that was invented thousands of years ago in China or India. The glass or plastic tube is filled with water. You place your finger over the opening and then use a carb hole to regulate how much air is inhaled as you smoke. You simply remove your finger when you want to take a hit, and you can hold it in until you are ready for another one. If you’re using something like a gravity bong, the extra water will help filter out any impurities as well as adding to the smoothness of the smoke.

A vape through a bong setup is very similar but uses a different method of delivery. The cartridge sits in the bowl of the bong while you suck on the mouthpiece for air flow. If you don’t remove the finger from the mouthpiece, it will cause water in the bowl to heat up and vaporize, providing a much smoother and cleaner hit of smoke than a power bong. It’s also more likely that you will get higher concentrations of nicotine, since the vapor won’t add moisture to the smoke.

The alternative to a vape through a bong is vaping with a hookah. This generally involves buying a small tube from your local store and using it in conjunction with another device. It’s very cheap if you buy your own hookah but much more expensive if you have to buy your own setup because most stores want their money back when they take them back after being opened. You usually have to have hookah coals to keep the bowl lit, and these are made of natural materials like coconut husks so they’re not exactly environmentally friendly.

Vaping through a bong is noisier than using a power bong

Whether or not it’s cleaner or healthier for you will depend on the materials used in the bowl and stem of the bong. The glass or acrylic materials, which are often used because they’re lighter and less fragile, don’t contain any harmful chemicals other than plasticizers that might come from softening agents added at the factory. They’re also fairly cheap and easy to clean.

A bong that’s made from metal is a lot cleaner and healthier than a hookah. This is because the bowl is made from pure glass and will never have any impurities that you’ll get with metal. Any metals in the stems will be bonded to the glass itself, so they won’t leach into your smoke unless the part breaks off and you inhale it directly.

The main problem with using a bong is that it creates more smoke in general, not less. It can easily fill up a room if you’re not careful, and it’s nearly impossible to control how much you’re inhaling at any given time. You could be breathing in second-hand smoke or clearing the air before you take a hit will also clear the room of any smell, which may not be a bad thing if you’re trying to hide something from your parents.

Smoke isn’t unhealthy if it’s cooled properly, and that can happen with a bong. It’s possible to cool the smoke through water inside the pipe or through vaporization of some kind. Some people believe that you’ll get more carcinogens by using a bong compared to a power bong, but this is probably not true because it’s easier to clear out impurities. The only difference is that you must be more careful when using a bong because the smoke is more likely to leak out.

Pros of using a vape through a bong

There’s no doubt that vaping through a bong is better than power vaping because it’s cheaper, messier, and less healthy for you. It’s also significantly cleaner than smoking cigarettes in public, which is illegal in many places. Even if you’re just vaping at home with friends, it won’t smell like cigarette smoke because it will be absorbed into the water in the bowl and stem.

Vaping through a bong is also more discreet than using a power bong. The smoke that you exhale will be whiter and fluffier, and there will be less of it to begin with. It’s easy to move your mouth around the mouthpiece without getting spotted, and if you need to clear the air before taking another hit it won’t draw attention to you.

The cost of vaping through a bong is also substantially less than power vaping because most dealers sell their own liquids for very little. They don’t have to pay for the bottles like they would if they were selling it on their own, and this is also one of the reasons why you’ll be able to find more choices at a vape shop when compared with places like convenience stores and gas stations.

Cons of using a vape through a bong

The main problem with vaping through a bong is that it’s messy. You can use things like gravity bongs, which allow you to take hits without inhaling all the water in the bowl, but you’re still going to get some on your hands and possibly face. From there you just have to hope that you clean yourself enough before going anywhere else because second-hand smoke isn’t healthy either.

Bong vs Portable Vaporizer

It’s a common misconception that bongs and portable vaporizers live in relative harmony, but in reality, they’re at massive odds. We’re going to break down the pros and cons of each method so you can make an informed decision – whether you want to just have some fun on the weekends or purchase a new habit.

What is the difference between bongs and vapes?

The first thing we want to talk about is how vapes differ from bongs.  Portable vaporizers like vape pens are small, pen-like devices with replaceable cartridges filled with liquid nicotine (or marijuana oil for medical use). When inhaled, the materials are heated by a coil into an aerosol that can be breathed out of your lungs without any smoke or tar. Many people judge them on their looks, but they’re not much different from a vape pen than a cigarette.

The other method of using marijuana in the form of a marijuana cigarette, is known as a bong. Bongs are large cylindrical water pipes with a bowl attached to the top and lined with perforated rubber or metal screens that allow smoke to travel through the water before it passes through either end, then releasing it into the air. Their popularity skyrocketed in the early 2000s thanks to well-respected music stars like Snoop Dogg – and they’re still popular today considering that many people (including us) enjoy smoking out of them (we see you, Elon Musk).

While bongs and vapes have many differences, they’re not completely opposite either. Many people use bongs in an attempt to achieve the same effects, like getting a faster buzz from a longer session. Vapes are also used for this purpose and the larger volume of water vapor produced by a bong can really put you in the mood to get down.

They’re also both portable devices that could be called travel companions, and they’re both fairly easy to use: Bongs are simple devices that require no setup; you take a hit off them once and they’re ready to roll. This is where the two methods differ, and one is better than the other.

Advantages and disadvantages of portable vaporizers and bongs

The first argument against bongs is that they’re not portable. Someone could very easily take a hit out of your bong and may accidentally get high. Vapes on the other hand, are small enough for people to carry. If you’ve ever been in a panic situation, the last thing you want to worry about is having to put down your beloved vape because you left it charging overnight at work or forgot where you left it in the car. Vapes are also considerably easier to use; all it takes is inserting a cartridge or oil cartridge into your device and pressing the button once for every inhale to vaporize it. Bongs are clunky and require more than one hit to take in the same amount of smoke. The bowl, which is the part where you put your bud, has to be packed, or else you’ll end up wasting a lot of your smoke. To add another layer of complexity, if you don’t have enough marijuana in the bowl for a hit, you can actually ruin your bong by causing it to crack. Vapes aren’t going anywhere and won’t crack like a bong if it’s not filled enough; they’re made with tough materials that will last for years without any issues.

Another argument for vapes is their health benefits. A study by Dr. Muhimbili in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania found that “nicotine [from vapes] could play a role in the reduction of obesity and weight gain.” Bongs, on the other hand, are known for causing major issues with lung capacity, even leading to emphysema, because of how much smoke you have to take in and how hot it is. Not only will taking huge hits catch up to you eventually at the doctor’s office (which can be hard if you want to keep your medical marijuana use on the down low), but it can lead to something far more serious like cancer or heart disease. It’s not worth the risk; vaping is better for your lungs and your body.

Another key difference between the two is that with bongs, you must heat it up before you light it up.

This can be problematic because the smoke can get caught in the bowl, or a stray spark could cause an explosion. Vapes are easy to use from the beginning and won’t blow up on you. Vape pens are also relatively portable compared to bongs, which are usually fairly large and heavy (and usually made of glass).

One advantage that bongs have over vapes is that they’re more versatile in terms of materials. Bongs can be made of glass, metal, or plastic. Vape pens, on the other hand, have to be either metal or plastic. You can get vapes that can vaporize water (similar to a water pipe); you can also get integrated vaporizers that are specifically designed to vaporize oils and e-liquids like nicotine in the case of e-cigarettes. You usually don’t find people using bongs because they’re too bulky for traveling purposes; but vape pens are portable enough that you could take them with you to class, work, or just use one during your downtime at home if they’re battery powered. They’re not just portable though; vapes are also more stylish than bongs. Vapes look like the sort of thing Steve Jobs and Elon Musk would have been happy to have on their desks. Bongs are large, ugly, and unattractive (unless you’re into taking bong rips).

Still not sure which way is right for you? We recommend going with a vape pen.

Vape pens are small, convenient to use, and don’t leave leaks in the bathroom. We even recommend smartphones because they’re easy to carry around (especially with a case) without taking up much space or adding weight. You can also take a hit off the charger and leave your phone right there without having to worry about carrying it around with you. Vape pens also tend to be more affordable than bongs, although bongs can be made cheaply as well if you’re willing to compromise on quality (like you would with a cheap glass pipe).

There you have it! I hope you have a clear idea of the differences between bongs and portable vape pens. Good vibes!
