What Is a Water Bong?
A water bong, often simply referred to as a bong, is a type of smoking device used to consume tobacco, cannabis, or other herbal substances. It consists of a chamber partially filled with water, with a bowl and stem (downstem) inserted into the chamber. The user places their smoking material in the bowl, ignites it, and inhales through the mouthpiece, drawing smoke through the water and into their lungs. The water serves to cool and filter the smoke, making it smoother and less harsh on the throat and lungs. Bongs come in various shapes, sizes, and designs, offering different features to enhance the smoking experience.
What Is the Purpose of the Water in a Water Bong?
A key component of water bongs is the water reservoir, which filters smoke through the chamber before inhalation. This serves several purposes. Firstly, the water aids in filtering out tar from the smoke, resulting in a cleaner and smoother experience. Additionally, the water helps to cool the smoke, providing a smoother hit for those who prefer to avoid harsh throat sensations or dry mouth.
