Bongs & Vapes To Legal Highs & Snuff : Weedmania

Bongs are special smoking devices consisting of a long, hollow cylinder with one end sealed and supported by a base, and the other end open to allow a smoker to put his mouth on to inhale the smoke.

Multi-pipe bongs are a special type of bong consisting of multiple plastic pipes. This device is perfect for parties and other social gatherings of smokers where you, and even three of your smoking buddies can share and enjoy your smoking experience and the delights of your favourite herbal highs. Multi-pipe bongs are in fact very popular among college students and teenagers who smoke legal herbs, dried lettuce and other tobacco-like products. The multi-pipe bong is usually passed around or placed in the middle where each member of the group can take turns in smoking.

Multi-pipe bongs do not only have plastic pipes on the outside but also channels of pipes in its interior helping to filter out the impurities of smoke produced. There is also a combustion chamber consisting of an inlet for placing the substance on and an outlet for the smoke to seep out. A typical multi-pipe bong is made from plain glass but other materials also prove to be ideal choices – metal, acrylic, wood and ceramics.

A number of veteran smokers of multi-pipe bongs claim that this type of smoking device is relatively safe to use compared to cigars and cigarettes. This is proven by the relatively lower incidence of lung cancer found among multi-pipe bong users.

Choosing the right tobacco tin is a task that involves looking closely at size, function, design, and affordability.  Fortunately, it is possible to take all these aspects into consideration and come up with the ideal tin for your purposes.  Here are some examples of what to look for.

When it comes to size and function, consider whether you are looking for a tin to store your stash around the house, or something that is a bit more portable.  A larger tin that is somewhat decorative is likely to be great for home use, while something that fits neatly into a jacket pocket is a good idea for on the go.  With either size, make sure the lid to the tin seals firmly, so the contents are kept fresh at all times.

The design is also an important consideration.  Some people prefer a thin and somewhat narrow tin with a small lid at the top, while others enjoy a box style tin with a lid that is the same length and width as the main section of the storage area.  Go with something that you find appealing to the eye, and you’ll be much happier with the purchase.

Last, there is always the matter of price.  You can spend a great deal of money on a tobacco tin, especially if you want one that stores stash lighters, flints, and rolling papers along with the tobacco and herbs.  But there are also some bargains out there, especially if you are willing to look around a bit.

Check your local head shop, including second hand stores and charity shops, since you never know what will turn up in those establishments.  Don’t forget to look for online bargains as well.  With a little effort, you can find a tin that is ideal for your purposes and within your budget.

Just because you can’t purchase a bong locally does not mean you can’t do a little shopping online.  Assuming there are no legal restrictions regarding the shipment of the bong through the post or by courier, there are any number of places to look for the bong you really want.  Here are a couple of suggestions.

The first option is to check out web sites devoted to legal highs.  Many people use bongs to enjoy different combinations of herbs, as well as herb and tobacco blends.  Some of these sites will include online stores, while others will have discussion boards where you can ask others for their recommendations about where to look for the right bong.  This can sometimes help you find an online store that did not show up when you did a browser search, and possibly save a little money as a result.

Another suggestion for buying a bong online is to conduct your search using descriptive keywords that narrow the results to only those types of bongs you are interested in buying.  There’s no point in wading through a number of results only to find that the store you are looking through only sells bamboo bongs and you want a glass bong.

When you find an online store that has what you want, make sure to bookmark the site.  That will make it easier to return after you compare their products with what you can find elsewhere.  Make sure to look at the shipping terms as well as the price of the bong you have in mind. You may find that while the purchase price is a little higher, some sites will also provide free shipping, a feature that may drive down your overall cost.

When it comes to legal highs, using herbs and other plants in bongs and vaporizers are two of the most common options.  Both approaches have their good points, but it is important to note that they don’t work in exactly the same way.  Chances are that after trying both, you’ll find that you prefer one method over the other.

With bongs, the herbs are burned, just as when smoking tobacco in a pipe.  When you inhale, you are inhaling the smoke that is generated by the burning, as well as the release of the elements of the particular herbs you are using.  If you like the sensation of smoke in the back of your throat, then you will want to go this route.

By contrast, Iolite vaporizers do not generate smoke; they create vapour.  With this approach, you use heat to warm the herbs and allow them to release steam or vapour that you can then inhale.  The effect is somewhat gentler than the smoke generated in a bong, and is less irritating to the throat.  At the same time, there are those who find that vaporizers produce a more effective and pleasant high, although fans of the bong would disagree.

In the end, it’s a matter of personal preference.  You may find that certain herbal combinations are better with a bong, while others are more enjoyable when using a  Iolite vaporizer.  If that is the case, by all means keep a glass bong and a good quality handheld vaporizer around for use whenever you like.

This rolling method allows you to make the perfect personal sized joint out
of small rolling papers. You can also try it with large papers once you’ve
got the hang of it.

You will need:

• Rolling papers
• Roach material
• Herb and tobacco mix
• Grinder or scissors

Step-by-Step:

1. Make sure your mix is well ground. It’s best to use a grinder for
your herbs or if you don’t have one you can use scissors. Mix your herbs
and tobacco together.

2. Take 2 papers and stick them together at a right angle (L-shape). Make sure
that the gums are both facing upwards (not facing your table or surface) and
that they are both on the inside of your plan. (See diagram.)

4. Fold down the top right hand corner of the vertical paper so that the gum
strip is still exposed. Lick along the fold and tear it off. This makes rolling
easier and cuts down the amount of paper you inhale.

5. Make a fold in your papers to hold your mix in place before you roll it up.

6. Spread your mixture along the papers and add your roach at the slim end.

7. Pick up the joint and roll from the middle outwards. (See How To Roll A One Skin Joint for more rolling tips.)

8. Tuck down the paper and ensure that the gum strips are facing you. Roll the
excess paper around the joint, wet the gum and seal it up.

9. Finally, pinch the excess paper at the end of your joint and twist it. This
way you won’t lose any of your mix and it ensures your joint is tight
enough.

No hassle, saves a lot of time and delivers the perfect joint every time. Available in regular or kingsize at good headshops and tobacconists.

This mother of a joint will knock a hole in your head!

You will need:

• Rolling papers (preferably kingsize)
• Some card
• Thread or gum strips
• Herb and tobacco mix
• Grinder

Step-by-Step:

1. First you need to make a large square out of some rolling papers. For a
   decent size tulip, about 11cm squared should be OK. How you make it depends
   on the size and shape of your papers. Just make sure you have one strip of
   gum running down the whole length of one side.
   
2. Assuming your gum runs down the left hand side facing up, take the top right
   corner and fold it down to the bottom left corner, leaving the gum strip exposed.
   
3. Wet the gum strip and fold it over to seal the triangle.
   
4. Pick it up and hold it open, with the point facing downwards. Fill it with your choice of ready-made mixture. This should turn into a nice cone-shaped
   packet, ready to attach to the next piece.
   
5. Make a long tube out of card, about 10cm long*. Seal with rolling papers
   or tape.
   
6. Place the open end of your cone at the top of the tube and scrunch up the ends so that it closes around it.
   
7. Tie up with gum strips or thread.

   

*A variation on this is to make a straight joint instead of card tube.

You will need:

• Kingsize rolling papers
• Roach material
• Herb and tobacco mix
• Grinder or scissors

Step-by-Step:

1. Make sure your mix is well ground. It’s best to use a grinder for
   your herbs or if you don’t have one you can use scissors. Mix your herbs
   and tobacco together.

   

2. Spread your mix evenly into the rolling paper. The gummed side should be
   furthest away from you and facing upwards.

   

3. Add your roach before you roll. This allows for a perfect, smooth fit. To
   make a roach, roll a piece of card into a tight hollow tube. Place this at
   one end of your mixture.

   

4. Pick up the paper with everything in it and begin to roll from the middle outwards. Your thumbs should roll over the top of your joint and your index and forefingers should support the pressure underneath. You may need to do this a few times until you feel that the mix is fairly firm inside the paper.
   Be careful not to make your joint too tight though or you’ll end up blue in the face trying to toke on it. On the flip side – too loose and it will burn too quickly and possibly fall away and set alight to nearby upholstery and clothing.

   

5. Tuck down the paper and ensure that the gum strip is facing you. Roll the excess paper around the joint, wet the gum and seal it up.
6. Finally, pinch the excess paper at the end of your joint and twist it. This way you won’t lose any of your mix and it ensures your joint is tight enough.

9. Finally, pinch the excess paper at the end of your joint and twist it. This
   way you won’t lose any of your mix and it ensures your joint is tight
   enough.

This one’s a bit tricky, but if you get it right it’s a proper
party attraction!

You will need:

• Kingsize rolling papers
• Roach material
• Herb and tobacco mix
• Grinder

Step-by-Step:

1. Make 1 big fat joint with a roach and then cut in half, horizontally.

   

2. Make 2 thinner joints that are exactly the same size and consistency. They
   have to burn at the same rate so it’s crucial to get this right.
   
3. Cut away any excess paper from the ends of all the joints.

   

4. Tear off the gum strips from several spare papers. The longer and thicker,
   the better.
   
5. Very carefully attach the slim joints to one end of the original fat joint.
   Wrap the spare gum strips around the intersection, making sure it is airtight
   and secure.

   

6. Very, very carefully, bend the two slim joints into a diamond shape so that
   they can be attached to the other end of the fat joint. Again, use gum strips
   to secure the intersection.
