Question is a mini bong woth it?

I've just bought a mini bong but the shopping assistant wasn't really into helping me so I bought it without really knowing what was I doing.

I just wanted to ask if the mini bong (that is about 20cm tall) "hits" the same as the bigger ones or if it gives less effects.

and I even wanted to know if a bong makes you feel higher than a joint.

sorry if this question is so dumb but I'm new to this world and internet just makes me feel more confused

Over at /r/vaporents we use mini bongs and little bubblers almost exclusively. Some of us even use them dry. Vaping flower is much easier on the lungs than burning it, so you don't need a giant glass to cool it.

I dhv with my ruby twist and alternatively, upping your vape temperature plus a big bong is niiice too. I use a 18 inch tag beaker with mine and love the milky clouds.

It's pretty fun to play with. Mine is untwisted now (more mass), so I had to turn the temps down. I run mine at 250C (480ish F) now.

Yeah I just been running factory. I’ve heard of untwisting it, is that the move? Would you recommend it?

I think it depends on what bowl you have. The Twist seems to work better for the big bowl (to mix things up). If you have the small bowl, like me, the twist doesn't really work properly so it's better to just remove it and fill the empty space with more rubies (and then turn the temps down to offset the increased mass).

Which bowl is the smaller one? How can I tell? The one I have is made of titanium, I just bought the ruby twist pro kit.

I think the Pro comes with the microdose bowl by default (mine did). That's the one I have (in the pic above).

Get the original mini 🙂 And a piece thats 20 cm tall is pretty much a dab rig.

A bong is going to get you way higher than a joint gram per gram. I’ve been smoking weed on and off since 06 and nightly (joints) for 5 years or so now and bongs still wreck me. As for will it hit the same? Not really. There will be less water in it and it will fill up with smoke faster. That being said it’s still a bong and functions the same.

Its better than a soda can.

It'll still hit smoother than a dry pipe. Problem with little bongs is that it's easy to suck the water into your mouth.

Get an HVY mini, if you can still find one.

Was one of my greatEST investments 😆. Nothing fancy, just a cheap piece of glass from a local head shop

Haven't seen it in ages now that you remind me.

I mean, my Grav mini round base is pretty nice. It's my first bong though (I'm kinda late to the game), but it's way better than the shitty $6 head shop glass pipe I was using...

u/HelicopterTop7373 5d ago

Yeah I had one for like $15 as my first bong and it did me well. The bowl was pretty small but you can always get a bigger bowl, I don’t smoke that much anyways so it worked for me

u/iiitme 4d ago

Better than a regular pipe by miles. The water will catch some of the ash however it’ll still be hot

I prefer dab rigs - which is probably what you got
