Whether you’re a medical patient seeking immediate relief or simply impatient, there are several ways to get high in no time. The active ingredient in weed that makes people feel high is THC. Increasing the amount of THC you get in a short amount of time is the main key to achieving hastier highs. We’ll show you how to get high faster with every type of consumption method.

Glass

When it comes to smoking weed through a pipe, certain pieces will get you higher quicker than others. For example, one-hitters are better for taking things slow and microdosing. Ditch the one-hitter for something that won’t limit the amount of smoke you can take per puff.

Larger pipes or bowls with a carburetor allow for more smoke to be held in the glass instead of your lungs. As a result, you can build up more smoke before feeling the need to cough. Once you lift your finger off of the carb all of that smoke will go into your lungs all at once.

Most seasoned cannabis consumers will tell you the fastest way to get high using glass is with a bong. A bong has a removable bowl attached to a down stem submerged in water. The water makes hits less harsh, allowing you to milk the bong for longer than you could with a bowl.

If the typical bong experience isn’t fast enough for you, a gravity bong is one of the quickest ways to feel the effects of your weed. You can make a gravity bong with a few household materials. There is more than one way to make them but a gravity bong is essentially a large vessel that fill with smoke without the need to inhale. Once it is fully milked, the cap is removed and all of the smoke is quickly inhaled.

The absolute fastest way to get high with weed is by adding a nail or quartz banger to your bong and using cannabis concentrates in place of regular weed.

Papers

Getting high faster with papers is as simple as rolling a proper joint or finding ways to sneak more THC into the equation. Rolling a joint too tight can interfere with airflow. If you’re barely letting out any smoke from each pull, there is an airflow problem with your joint and it will take much longer to get high. In fact, most of your weed will go up in smoke without ever being inhaled. Properly rolled joints will provide plenty of smoke per inhale and lead to quicker medication.

If you have any kief saved up in your grinder, use it to experience one of the fastest ways to get high with weed. Depending on what else you have access to, you can feel the effects of your weed in as quick as one big puff.

Twaxing a blunt or joint is a great way to feel the effects sooner while helping the paper burn slower. To twax your papers you can either add concentrates to the inside mixed in with weed or coat the outside with oil. The fastest way to get high with papers is to dip the joint in oil and then roll it in kief. If you don’t have kief and concentrates, source the high-potency cannabis and pack your papers with more of it to speed up the onset of effects.

Edibles

There are ways to decrease the amount of time it takes to get high without a pipe or papers as well. If you’re looking for one of the fastest ways to get high, edibles aren’t the best option. However, some people dislike smoke or can’t inhale cannabis for medical reasons. Fortunately, certain products in the edibles section of your dispensary will hit you sooner than others.

Regular edibles like brownies take effect at various times depending on your metabolism and tolerance. A slow metabolism means it can take up to two hours to feel the effects of an edible. You’re better off with a cannabis-infused drinks or cannabis tinctures if you’re not down to wait. Cannabis tinctures will work fastest when ingested sublingually. Similarly, cannabis-infused beverages are partially absorbed sublingually with less effort needed from your metabolism. The effects will come on sooner but they won’t last for as long as a traditional edible would.

Vaporizer

The fastest way to get high with a dry herb vaporizer is to turn the heat up enough for more vapor to be released in a shorter time frame. You can also add kief or hash oil to the weed in the vaporizer to speed things up.

THC cartridges are convenient enough to be puffed on all day. Eventually, you’ll start to build a tolerance and it will take several hits before you feel the effects you desire. THC cartridges with round mouthpieces can easily fit into the joint of a blunt bubbler or even a 10-millimeter bong joint. Place the mouthpiece into the joint, start heating the vaporizer and begin inhaling slowly. If vapor is building fast, speed up your rate of inhalation. If there’s barely any visible vapor you may need to allow the cartridge to heat more or a better seal.

Grinding

If you’re inhaling dry herbs through a pipe, papers or vaporizer, a grinder can help to feel the effects sooner. An even consistency makes it easier to burn quickly. Don’t believe us? Take a huge nug and stuff it in a bowl without breaking it down. It might take a few minutes just to get it to stay lit. Once you’re tired of that, grind a similarly sized nug down and pack a bowl with it. You’ll get smoke the second the flame sinks into the bowl and feel the effects shortly after the exhale.

A medium-coarse grind is ideal for rolling blunts and packing bowls. Grinding it too small will allow flakes to fall through the bowl or fly through the filter into your mouth. Finer grinds are ideal for vaporization. Your device will produce the most vapor with dry herbs with the consistency of sand.

Anyone with an endocannabinoid imbalance will want to feel the effects of cannabis sooner than later. Getting high isn’t always a race but people suffering from pain definitely welcome detours. Use the most potent weed you come across or any of the tips above to spend more time high and less work trying to get there.

You don’t have to clean a dab rig as often as you would with a bong used for smoking flowers. However, if you want the function and flavor you experience from your dab rig to remain optimal, clean it regularly. Neglecting to clean your rig will eventually lead to dirtier tasting dabs or clogged percolators. Clogged percolators make it impossible to hit the rig.

There are wrong and right ways to clean a dab rig. For example, never torch any part of your rig to loosen the oils, even if a joint is clogged. Torching the glass of your rig can result in a crack or complete break. By following five easy steps, you can keep your flavors prominent and your dab rig ripping without harming your glass.

Drop Down

A drop-down glass attachment is a proactive way to keep your rig from getting gunked up in the first place. It’s a glass tube in the shape of an N or Z that extends the nail further from the rig while catching oil that makes it past the nail, also referred to as “reclaim.”

The best part about a down stem is the fact that the reclaim is kept separate from the water in the rig. So in desperate times when your stash is depleted, you can reach into the drop-down with a dab tool and scoop some out for immediate use. You can also collect your reclaim in a separate container until you’re ready to use it for something else like an edibles recipe.

Cleaning A Dab Rig

There are several steps to cleaning a dab rig properly. Before you start, you’ll want to have access to hot water, a high-percentage alcohol like moonshine or 99 percent isopropyl alcohol. Q-tips are optional and essential to keeping a dabbers kit as clean as possible. Salt can be used in combination with alcohol as an abrasive for reclaim stuck in hard to reach places. However, unless you waited a really long time to clean your rig, the alcohol alone with some shaking should do the trick.

1. Empty Dirty Water

The first step of cleaning your dab rig is to make sure it’s empty. If you’ve got water that hasn’t been changed in a long time with a few balls of reclaim floating around, it’s time to pour it out. Ideally, the water of your dab rig should be replaced after each session. Once there is no water in the rig you can move on to the next step.

2. Hot Water Rinse

Next, you’ll want to run hot water through the rig to help loosen up the oils. If you haven’t cleaned in a while, hot water alone will get a few chunks of reclaim out for you. The water doesn’t need to be boiling but it should be as hot as your tap gets or even a little hotter. Once you’re done you can pour out all the water and move on to the next step.

3. Alcohol Soak

After getting rid of some oil with a hot water rinse, it’s time to finish the job with an alcohol soak. If you lack patience, you can microwave a cup of alcohol for about 10 seconds before adding it to your rig. This will make oils come off almost instantaneously.

Once the liquid goes from clear to a darker yellow, check for any remaining oil build up. If you see any, give the rig a few shakes and some more time to dissolve the reclaim. If that doesn’t do the trick, move onto the next step to make sure no oil gets left behind.

4. Salt & Shake (Optional)

For really gunked up rigs, you might need more than just isopropyl alcohol to make it look brand new and unused again. Adding a coarse salt as an abrasive will help get anything stuck to the walls in a hard to reach place off. If you only have table salt at home, that’ll work as well. Add salt to the rig along with the alcohol and shake it up until all the oil is cleaned off.

5. Rinse Clean

Before you’re tempted to rip that squeaky clean dab rig, allow all of the alcohol to evaporate. Then, rinse thoroughly to make sure there is no trace of the isopropyl left behind. After a few rinses, the scent of the alcohol should be gone. Now, your dab rig will be ready to be filled and used.

Cleaning A Dab Nail

If you want to experience the true flavor of your BHO or other extracts, you’ll need to clean more than your dab rig. The best way to keep flavors prominent is to keep your dab nail and quartz insterts clean. Doing so prolongs the heat retention, flavor and aesthetics of your nail. One of the easiest nails to clean is a quartz banger. The only thing you’ll need to clean your dab nail with is a Q-tip and isopropyl alcohol.

Unless you’re doing high-temperature dabs every time, traces of leftover oils from your last dab will remain. As soon as you finish a dab, use a Q-tip to soak up the oil while it’s still hot. If you forget, don’t worry. Just reheat your nail with a torch for a few seconds to loosen the cooled oil.

Then, go in with a Q-tip like you would immediately after a dab. After you’ve used a Q-tip on the oils from your previous dab, there might still be a bit of oil left on the walls.

You can use one isopropyl-soaked Q-tip to clean off anything that was left behind. Otherwise, a ring of oil will rise and burn black the next time you heat-up for a dab. Additional heating and oxidizing will be required to burn it the rest of the way clean.

Now that you know how to clean a dab rig, we hope you use the knowledge to keep hits fresh and satisfying. If you can’t be bothered with regular cleaning, get a glass drop-down. Additionally, rinsing your dab rig out with hot water after each session keeps things from needing cleaning for longer.

If you want to experience the effects of cannabis without having to smoke it, knowing how to make cannabutter is a must. If you’ve never tried the process, it may seem intimidating. However, if you have a kitchen you can stink up, it’s actually easy. There are several ways to make cannabutter with just weed, butter and a few tools found in most kitchens. We’ll go over one of the simplest methods for making cannabutter.

Preparation: 

Before you start learning how to make cannabutter make sure you have access to salted butter, cannabis, a stovetop, oven, cheesecloth, mason jar, non-stick oven-safe pan and a saucepan or pot.

A grinder is another useful tool. However, you don’t want one that will pulverize the weed into a powder like a coffee grinder. That would allow plant material through the strainer adding the taste of plant matter to the cannabutter.

Decarboxylation

The best way to make cannabutter without too strong of a cannabis flavor is to decarboxylate the weed before cooking it in butter. Decarboxylation is the process in which the nonpsychoactive THCA converts to THC. Cannabis can become partially decarboxylated by drying or curing over extended periods of time. However, you’ll need an oven for complete decarboxylation.

The general consensus on decarboxylation from both researchers and those with experience making edibles is that lower temperatures for longer times provide the best results. A group of scientists in Holland experimented to find the best temperature and time to completely bake THCA into THC. They found 230 °F for 110 minutes was the best way to completely decarboxylate fresh material.

To begin the process, grind at least an ounce of weed per 4 sticks of butter and spread it onto a non-stick baking pan while the oven preheats to 230 °F. Cover the pan with aluminum foil before putting it in the oven to bake. If you have aged or partially decarboxylated material the time in the oven can be reduced.

Simmer

Once you have your decarboxylated cannabis ready, you can add a cup of water and a cup of salted butter into the saucepan or pot. Salted butter is better for long-simmering because it has a higher smoke point. Simmer over low heat on the stovetop adding the decarboxylated cannabis while stirring. Keep the heat under 200 °F to preserve as many cannabinoids and terpenoids as possible. It should never come to a boil and it should be stirred regularly. Monitor it to ensure it never gets hot enough to burn.

Strain

Line the cheesecloth on top of a jar or into a funnel and on top of a jar. Allow the butter to strain. You can squeeze the cheesecloth once liquid stops seeping through to make sure all the good stuff has made its way through. If your material is too fine, some can make it through the cheesecloth and add the taste of plant matter to your butter.

Store

When the butter has been completely strained, you can set the plant material aside for later use or toss it out. Place the jar in a refrigerator for long-term storage.

Edibles are known to be unpredictable. You can change this testing the potency of your butter before using a lot of it for a meal. A half teaspoon or less on a piece of warm toast is a great way to gauge the potency of your final product. If you don’t feel anything within an hour try increasing the dose until you reach your desired effects. Take note of the amount it takes to get you to where you want to be for future recipes.

You can also make cannabutter with the help of a slow cooker or a device intended for making cannabis-infused butter. If you don’t have either of those the method we shared above will work in most homes. It only takes a few hours to make enough cannabutter to make several meals.

Anxiety is a condition that has kept many people from enjoying the medical benefits of cannabis. There are two spectrums when it comes to cannabis and anxiety. Even though many people use cannabis to relieve stress, there are people that suffer from anxiety who can end up panicking after consuming high levels of THC.

However, cannabis has also been used to treat pre-existing anxiety. It all depends on the type of cannabis used, the potency and dosage. We’ll go over the various ways cannabis can influence anxiety.

Microdosing As Prevention

There are people that could benefit from the medicinal effects of cannabis who can’t handle the psychoactive effects due to their anxiety. The best way to avoid a cannabis-induced panic attack is to learn how your body handles specific strains by microdosing.

Uncertain of the THC level? The safest thing to do is to take things one puff at a time and feel out the effects before taking another pull. With this in mind, the best tools for the job are a one-hitter or vaporizer.

If you’re going to use a vaporizer we recommend one that will only heat as you take a hit so no weed is wasted when you take breaks between puffs. Start by figuring out how many hits it takes to feel the effects without any feelings of panic. Be sure to take note of that for every time you use that specific strain.

Consuming your cannabis after meals is a good way to keep results consistent. The same amount you’re accustomed to can seem more intense if you’ve gone a while without eating.

CBD To Calm Anxiety

Fortunately, there is a safety net built within the cannabis plant for anyone prone to anxiety. Treating anxiety with cannabis is easier with cannabidiol or CBD. CBD is a different cannabinoid from THC that can actually counteract the psychoactive effects of THC. In fact, Brazilian researchers found CBD was able to relieve anxiety in patients with social anxiety.

Furthermore, research has proven the anti-anxiety ability of CBD. Researchers gave CBD with no THC to people with a generalized social anxiety disorder and put them in simulated public speaking situations. They found CBD was able to successfully reduce the anxiety induced by public speaking in patients with social phobia.

There are tons of strains high in CBD and low in THC. So people prone to anxiety have plenty of options for balancing out the psychoactive effects of THC. There are even CBD products with absolutely no THC content on the market so people with anxiety can get relief without the risk of accidentally consuming too much and panicking.

Delta 8 THC: Somewhere Between THC and CBD

If you’re prone to anxiety, most cannabis concentrates should be avoided. Unless they’re a CBD concentrate or an edible dose of Delta 8 THC.

A 1995 study on children found that kids did not show any signs of psychoactive effects after ingesting delta-8 THC.

Unfortunately, Delta 8 THC is rare because so few people produce it but it is also one of the best options for those looking for the medicinal effects of THC with less psychoactivity. However, be warned that there is still some psychoactivity to delta 8 THC when it is dabbed. So, anyone prone to panic from THC will likely be triggered by a large dab of delta 8 THC.

Even though delta 8 THC is less psychoactive than THC, it comes in concentrated form. As a result, you should practice microdosing when dabbing delta 8 THC.

People suffering from other conditions on top of anxiety that want to benefit from the therapeutic benefits of cannabis without having a panic attack have a few routes to take. Those with high-anxiety should stick to CBD treatment. Everyone else should be fine microdosing with cannabis flowers or experimenting with delta 8 THC. To avoid any unwanted surprises, we recommend skipping the THC edibles and concentrates.

Cannabis concentrates have increased in accessibility and popularity since the concept of “dabbing” was introduced. Now there are many different consistencies of dabs and almost as many different ways to consume them. When it comes time to choose a dab rig, you’ll want the best piece of equipment for the job. The best dab rig won’t share much in common with the best bong.

Most of us start by using a bong in the place of a dab rig with a nail that fits. However, doing dabs out of a three-foot bong isn’t as satisfying as it is with a bowl of burning weed. We’ll give you some tips to help you pick the best piece for your dabbing needs.

Size Matters

When you choose a dab rig, make sure you’re not getting something too bulky. Most people do dabs to feel the effects of cannabis more quickly and with more intensity. A bigger piece is better if you want to spread a single dab hit into several easier to inhale puffs. However, most dabbers use smaller rigs for constant, quick delivery with less effort on the lungs.

The concept of dabbing challenged glass blowers to create highly-functional designs in more compact sizes. In fact, there are functioning rigs that are shorter than a standard BIC lighter in height.

However, small isn’t for everyone. For example, anyone planning to use an e-nail in combination with their dab rig will want something that won’t easily tip over from the weight of the coil or wires. Extremely compact dab rigs are best for use when traveling.

One Joint Won’t Fit All

For a while, most bongs designed for use with dabbing came with male joints to fit the popular dome and nail combination used to consume concentrates at the time.

Then, domeless nails and quartz bangers became popular. It was easier to make joints to fit on any bong with the domeless and banger designs. Since then, male-jointed dab rigs haven’t been as popular. As a result, smoke shops are ordering less of the best quartz bangers for male-jointed rigs.

Also, be conscious of the fact that some joints come out at a 45-degree angle while others are at a 90-degree angle. If you have a 45-degree joint you’ll want a banger with a 45-degree neck or you’ll have to tilt your rig back every time you dab to evenly vaporize the oils.

How Much Percolation Is Necessary?

Percolation isn’t as important on a dab rig as it is with a bong for dry herbs. However, certain percolators work better on dab rigs than they do on bongs. For example, having several chambers with percolators will help reduce the harshness of a bong rip. However, low-temperature dabs are vapor which is less harsh than smoke and requires less filtration to be cooled. Recycler dab rigs are ideal for anyone looking for a cooler dab hit.

When you choose a dab rig percolator the first thing you’ll want is something that won’t clog easily. Otherwise, you’ll have to clean your dab rig after a few dabs to keep it functioning properly. Tiny holes are more likely to clog.

The more percolators there are, the harder it will be to clear the dab. If you’d prefer to get it all done as quickly as possible, you’re better off with less filtration.

More Convenient Options

Having to torch a dab nail to fully enjoy cannabis concentrates has kept many people from picking up extracts. To some, it’s too much of a hassle to deal with. Others feel as though having a torch and small glass piece will associate them with the use of harder drugs. It is also a safety concern because both the nail and torch can burn you.

Vape Pens

As a result, portable wax pens or batteries for pre-filled THC cartridges have been the preference of those that want to steer clear of a torch. However, unless you are putting your loose extracts in one of the best vape pens for cannabis concentrates the experience rarely compares to a proper low-temp dab. Fortunately, there are still several alternatives to a torch and rig that will better mimic the experience.

Portable E-nails

For those that dislike the idea of having to choose a dab rig, nail, carb cap and torch but enjoy the experience, there are simpler ways to start dabbing.

In fact, there are now several devices designed to make the dab rig more accessible to the everyday cannabis consumer. There are portable e-nails with water attachments, carb caps and everything you need to start dabbing in one device on our list of the best e-nails.

E-Rig

The Peak is the latest innovation to the world of dabbing by Puffco. It is the closest thing to the carb cap, torch and dab rig experience without a need to purchase them all separately. The Peak is a “smart rig” that removes all of the complications from low-temperature dabbing while maintaining the same feeling.

In fact, you’ll get close to the same flavorful results as a low to high-temperature dab using a quartz insert with less effort required. Skip torching for close to a minute to fully heat a nail. The most time you’ll have to wait to start dabbing with the peak is about 20 seconds from when you start heating.

You can put your most terpene-rich BHO or full melt solventless hash oil in their electronic device without feeling like you’re missing out on any of the flavor or potency. Many older portable devices for concentrates rapidly heated concentrates instantly burning away the flavor and giving off harsher hits. You could put a huge glob in and watch it disappear in two flavorless hits.

The peak heats rapidly enough for you to start dabbing within 15 seconds but never enough to burn the terpenes off of your concentrates. As long as you have it on the right setting for the size dab you load. There are four settings to accommodate small, medium, large and glob sized loads.

You can get up to 30 flavorful dabs before needing to charge the device. Most torches won’t go that long before needing more butane.

There are a few things to consider when choosing a dab rig: the size, joint size, percolation and your personal needs. We recommend dab rigs with bent necks because it will keep your face/hair further away from the hot nail. Anyone that doesn’t want to use a torch or be bothered with the process of low-temperature dabbing, should look into a portable e-nail or smart rig.

In the centuries that cannabis has been used, various methods of consumption have been developed. As legal markets emerge, cannabis has become more popular and we’ve discovered more ways to consume it. In the past few decades, two of the most popular ways to ingest the plant include smoking and eating infused products like pot brownies. In the case of an edible high vs. smoking high, each method comes with its own set of pros and cons.

Benefits of Edible High vs. Smoking High

Despite the popularity of smoking as the most common method of consumption, many cannabis users prefer edibles for a number of reasons.

Healthier?

One of the main reasons for someone to choose edibles vs smoking highs is healthcare. Combusting cannabis releases a number of potentially harmful toxins.

Even vaping weed, which produces fewer toxins than smoking, can still irritate the throat and lungs to the point of extreme discomfort. Furthermore, some of the harmful compounds found in tobacco smoke are also present in cannabis smoke. Thanks to edibles, anybody that doesn’t want to smoke will still be able to enjoy the benefits of marijuana with absolutely no strain to their lungs.

Dosing

Anyone purchasing their cannabis products from a dispensary in regulated marijuana markets may prefer edibles over smoking for controlled dosing.

In states like Colorado, every 10mg serving must be stamped with THC warnings. As a result, it is easy to keep track of exactly how much THC you’re taking at a time. On the other hand, it is harder to tell how much THC you’re getting per puff when smoking.

If you’re making your own edibles, it will be much harder to control your dosage. When it comes to homemade edibles or anything acquired in a state without strict edible regulations, finding the right dosage will be more of a challenge. You’ll have to try a small amount at a time to get an idea of how potent the edible is.

Easier To Ingest

Making edibles can be complicated depending on the recipe. However, once they’re made, ingesting them is about as easy as it gets.

Smoking comes with more of a process than eating an edible. You’ll need to know how to roll or you’ll need a pipe. Then, you’ll have to grind and prepare the weed. Eating a pot brownie is as simple as breaking off the right serving size, chewing and swallowing. You won’t be left with a dirty pipe or stinky roach clip.

Stealthier

A huge advantage of consuming edibles over smoking is the stealth factor. Smoking in public can attract unwanted attention.

While smoking, anyone that is close enough to see you will likely smell you too. Even if you smoked in private, the smell of burned weed will likely stick to your breath and clothes. If you’re worried about any drama that may come from the lasting stigma against cannabis consumption, you’ll feel more comfortable consuming edibles in public. Just keep eyedrops on you in case your eyes get red.

Longer High

From a recreational perspective, one of the main reasons to consume an edible is in the hopes for a longer, stronger high.

Once you develop a tolerance to cannabis, you may find yourself smoking several bowls before feeling the desired effects. Not to mention, the high from smoking doesn’t last anywhere near as long as with edibles. If you don’t have the time to grind weed and roll or pack a bowl constantly, you may benefit from choosing edible marijuana over smoking the plant.

Benefits of Smoking vs. Edibles

Even though edibles seem to come with a number of advantages over smoking, most people still prefer to burn one.

Faster High

The main advantage smoking provides over edibles is the fast-acting relief. When you eat an edible you may have to wait for up to two hours before feeling any of the effects. Even worse, you could wait hours and feel nothing. On the other hand, you’ll feel most of the effects from a joint by the time you finish it.

Certain patients that need quick relief can’t wait for the effects of edibles to kick in. When you’re laying in bed wide awake, you won’t want to wait two hours to feel the sedative effects from an edible. Anyone suffering from a condition that requires immediate relief is better off smoking or vaporizing cannabis.

Fewer Surprises

Smoking will come with fewer surprises than consuming edibles. If you’re not purchasing your edibles from a dispensary with strict regulations on dosing, you’ll have to find out the potency on your own.

Take caution when trying edibles you made yourself. Try as small of a piece as possible, slowly increasing dosage until effects are felt. Most beginners try weed for the first time by smoking, not eating it. An edible is more likely to overwhelm users than a joint. If high levels of THC make you anxious, you’ll want to avoid edibles that aren’t marked with the precise dosage per piece.

Fewer surprises will also make it easier to microdose cannabis. You can take things one puff at a time and gradually feel effects escalate. With an edible you may not feel anything in an hour, take another dose and then get hit by both doses at once. Microdosing with edibles requires much more patience than with smoking.

Socializing

Edibles aren’t the best method of consumption in a group setting for a number of reasons.

It only takes a few seconds to consume an edible but it can take up to a few hours for the effects to settle in. As a result, some people may find themselves sitting around waiting while others are already on cloud 9. On the other hand, smoking a joint will give a group something to do while together while waiting to get high. By the time the joint is finished, the whole group should be at least somewhat high.

People that prefer edibles vs smoking usually do so for reasons associated with stealth and health. Smoking also has its advantages for people looking to get high as soon as possible.

There are a number of factors to consider when the time comes to choose a bong that will suit your needs. Will it be kept at home, in a drawer, on a table or is it a travel bong? If you’re clumsy, you’ll want something durable. Fortunately, bongs come in all different shapes and sizes to accommodate the needs of various cannabis smokers. We’ll go over all the factors that should be considered when you choose a bong.

Does Size Matter?

The first thing you’ll want to do is decide if you’re looking for a bong to smoke cannabis flowers out of or one for concentrates. This will help you decide what size piece you should get.

If you’re going with a set-up for flower, bigger can be better for spreading out harsh hits. However, dab rigs are better off on the smaller side because there is no benefit to filtering hash oil vapors.

Is It Durable?

The next thing you should look into is the durability of the product. If it’s made of ceramic or glass, the bong is vulnerable to breaking when dropped. Acrylic bongs may bounce when dropped but they’re still vulnerable to cracking.

The thicker the glass all around the bong, the less likely it is to break. Does the glass seem sturdy or does it sounds like a wine glass when flicked? Thicker glass is usually a little more expensive.

If you’re not clumsy and trust yourself not break the bong you can put the extra money towards attachments or a bong with more percolation.

There are also unbreakable silicone bongs on the market for anyone that is tired of breaking glass, ceramic and acrylic bongs.

What is the Best Joint Size?

When choosing a joint size it is best to get something that will work with any attachments you may already have. You should also pick based on whether you’re using the bong for cannabis flowers or concentrates. For a while, concentrate pieces came with male joints to accommodate domes and nails. Now, most connoisseurs use quartz bangers when consuming cannabis concentrates.

Today, having a male joint will limit your options when it comes to replacement bowl pieces and attachments. We recommend getting a 14mm female if you don’t have any attachments you want to use because it is the most common joint size.

The angle of your joint is also something you’ll have to consider. Classic beakers have joints and bowls coming out of a removable down stem at a 45-degree angle. Many modern pieces come with joints at a 90-degree angle with a fixed stem.

Picking Percolators

Percolation is one of the main factors to consider when you choose a bong. Percolators contain one or more points of diffusion to filter or cool smoke. The three things to consider when picking a percolator is the filtration, drag and how easily it can clog.

If you’re using your bong for dry herbs, you’ll want extra percolators to make the smoke as smooth as possible. When smoke is smoother, you can take bigger rips consuming more THC in a shorter period of time. As a result, you should be higher than you normally would with less irritation to your throat and lungs.

However, there is such a thing as too much percolation, especially when it comes to concentrates. It is best to keep percolation to a minimum of dab rigs. More percolators mean more drag making it harder to clear the bong.

For dry herb bongs, there is a trade-off. More drag for smoother hits. However, with a dab rig percolators add to the drag of each hit with no benefit. For dab rigs look for a bong with one to two percolators that won’t easily clog when oil or “reclaim” begins to build inside of the piece.

The Cleaning Process

Another factor to consider is how hard it will be to clean the bong. If you’re not willing to give your bong a deep cleaning regularly, you should get something easy to clean that won’t clog quickly. Percolators with tiny holes will clog sooner than larger slits.

Certain pieces are harder to clean than others while some need to be cleaned more often for proper function. Keep an eye on the percolators. If a bong has three percolators stacked on top of each other going up the neck, it’s going to be hard to get cleaner into that middle chamber.

Optional Attachments

Once you’ve selected your bong, there are still ways to improve the overall function.

There are attachments called ash catchers that sit between the bowl and joint. Many modern ash catchers have percolators in them for additional filtration. Not to mention, ash and tar will build up in the ash catcher before it does in the rest of the bong. If you clean the ash catcher regularly you won’t need to clean the rest of the bong as often.

On top of ash catchers, there are other attachments like glycerin coils made to improve the function of your bong. Glycerin is a liquid that won’t turn solid in a freezer. What it will do is

Understanding the different components is the key to learning how to choose a bong. Use our guide to pick the best piece to suit your smoking style. Larger pieces with more percolators are better for people sensitive to the harshness of smoke. Anyone that appreciates a classic bong rip will enjoy a scientific-style beaker or straight pipe. If it still isn’t smooth enough you can always add attachments to further filter the smoke.

It’s better to smoke a bong than to roll a joint when trying to hide the smell of weed. You’ll also get higher in less time. Dabs are an even stealthier way to get high in no time. Anyone planning to use their bong for concentrates as well should look into the best quartz bangers, carb caps and how to choose a dab rig.
