Question----does bong water stop the tar?
Answer-----if it didn't the water wouldn't taste so bad!

I also think that bongs aren't as efficient because THC gets trapped in the water.

I vote yes, but I wouldnt take my word for it

THC is not water soluble.

yup, bottle of iso is like what, $3 at the pharmacy?

Science [& some potheads on the internet] say no, it does not filter tar. Here's why:

Tar=Benzopyrene
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzopyrene

Benzopyrene has a solubility in water of 0.00000038 g/100 mL (taken from http://www.iephb.nw.ru/~spirov/hazar...)_pyrene.html), or 0.0038 mg/L. It's practically insoluble. http://forum.grasscity.com/recreatio...fficiency.html

The water DOES get dirty because it filters out PARTICULATE matter.

yup, it makes it easier on your throat and that is it. some of the tar will cling to the glass, but it isn't filtered out by the water.

good info there, thanks man! :thumbsup

I've had a Volcano for like 5 years, I love it but I'm a smoker type and plus the noisy ass bag gets annoying so I rarely use it unless I'm bored and want to feel a different high from the usual. I bought a triple bubbler so that I could stop smoking blunts but I eventually worked myself back into smoking blunts mainly and my favorite thing by far involving weed is to throw a roach into the bubbler. If I could jam a freshly rolled blunt into the bubbler I probably would lol.

Could someone dumb this down? It looks like it's saying unfiltered joints and bongs are better?

Dude your pipe has tons of filters .

If you keep your bong that clean. You're cool man.

Ever go to your friends house and their bong hasnt been cleaned in years? lol

you need a carbon filter.... :2 cents:

Well that's fucking genius. :thumbsup

in order of better:

vape->hotplate vape->unfiltered j->filtered j->dry pipe->bong


i do keep it super clean, dirty bong = disgusting eh
i haven't heard or seen that. i'll try and google up some info

:thumbsup

How can the thc make it through the activated carbon?

nice! roor makes one, http://www.everyonedoesit.co.uk/onli...ProductID=3522

hmm interesting....i think that no matter what smoking through water is better though

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Oh hell yeah dude, bongs are the best.

If you are not smoking cigarettes, pat yourself on the back and smoke the dank however your potentially [questionable] healthier heart desires. :rasta

Disclaimer: All smoke is harmful.

that's the shit right there.... :2 cents:

I'm new to it all but the volcano doesn't really touch me...or I might get a little buzz for a short time but very short and then it is gone. The only other way I have tried so far is with gel caps and they get me WAY too gone to the point of non-comfortable black outs and it lasts for way too many hours.

Doesn't dissolve into the water just gets stuck in the water.
