If you enjoy smoking herb or tobacco from a glass bong, you might wonder how to get the best experience possible. One of the factors that can affect your smoking session is the water level and temperature in your bong. In this blog post, we will explain why these factors matter and how to measure and adjust them for optimal filtration and cooling.
Why does water level matter?
The water level in your bong determines how much smoke can be filtered and cooled by the water before it reaches your lungs. The water acts as a natural filter that removes some of the tar, ash, and other harmful substances from the smoke. It also cools down the smoke, making it smoother and less harsh on your throat.
If the water level is too low, the smoke will not be filtered or cooled enough, resulting in a harsher and less flavorful hit. If the water level is too high, the smoke will be over-filtered and over-cooled, resulting in a weaker and less satisfying hit. Additionally, if the water level is too high, you might end up inhaling some of the water, which is unpleasant and unhealthy.
How to measure the water level?
The ideal water level for your bong depends on the size and shape of your bong, as well as your personal preference. However, a general rule of thumb is to fill the water chamber so that the bottom of the downstem (the tube that connects the bowl to the chamber) is fully submerged, but not more than that. You can also check the water level by blowing into the mouthpiece (the opening at the top of the bong) and observing how much bubbles are produced. If there are too many bubbles, the water level is too high. If there are too few bubbles, the water level is too low.
To measure the water level accurately, you can use a measuring cup or a graduated cylinder. Pour water into the mouthpiece until it reaches the desired level, then measure how much water you used. You can also mark the water level on your bong with a permanent marker or a sticker for future reference.
How to adjust the water level?
If you need to adjust the water level in your bong, you can either add or remove some of the water. To add water, simply pour it into the mouthpiece until it reaches the desired level. To remove water, you can either tilt your bong over a sink or a bucket and let some of the water drain out, or use a syringe or a straw to suck out some of the water.
Why does water temperature matter?
The water temperature in your bong also affects how much smoke can be filtered and cooled by the water before it reaches your lungs. The temperature of the water influences how much THC (the main psychoactive compound in herb) and other cannabinoids (the compounds that give herb its medical and recreational effects) are dissolved in the water. The more THC and cannabinoids are dissolved in the water, the less potent and flavorful your hit will be.
If the water temperature is too high, more THC and cannabinoids will be dissolved in the water, resulting in a weaker and less satisfying hit. If the water temperature is too low, less THC and cannabinoids will be dissolved in the water, resulting in a stronger and more satisfying hit. However, if the water temperature is too low, it might also make your hit too harsh and cold on your throat.
How to measure the water temperature?
The ideal water temperature for your bong depends on your personal preference and tolerance. However, a general rule of thumb is to use room temperature or slightly cooler water for your bong. You can also experiment with different temperatures to find what works best for you.
To measure the water temperature accurately, you can use a thermometer or a digital probe. Insert it into the mouthpiece and wait for a few seconds until it shows the temperature reading.
How to adjust the water temperature?
If you need to adjust the water temperature in your bong, you can either heat or cool some of
the water. To heat up some of the water, you can either microwave it for a few seconds or boil it on
a stove. To cool down some of the water, you can either refrigerate it for a few minutes or add ice
cubes to it. You can also use a combination of hot and cold water to achieve the desired
temperature.
Alternatively, you can use a bong that has an ice catch, which is a feature that allows you to place
ice cubes inside the bong. The ice catch cools down the smoke as it passes through the ice,
making it smoother and more refreshing. However, be careful not to overfill the ice catch, as it
might block the airflow and make it harder to inhale.
