The Differences Between Bongs Vs. Dab Rigs Vs. Vaporizer
Bongs, rigs, and vaporizers are alternate ways to consume cannabis. Users will have their preferences, but each alternative has its pros and cons.
Bongs
Bongs have been popular because almost anything can be converted to a bong. They all work on the same principles. In recent decades, they have become more sophisticated in design and materials, although most are glass-made.
People use bongs to smoke dried cannabis flowers. The herb is placed in a bowl where it is lit and combusted. The smoke is inhaled through a mouthpiece that pulls the smoke through filtering water. When inhaling, the inhale, take it in, push it deep into the lungs, and exhale. The bong is generally large – tall or bulbous. This allows the smoke to dissipate without loss of flavor or potency.
Users like the fact that the dried flower is combusted without the paper used for joints. It may be a subtle difference, but removing that extra carbon from the combustion creates cleaner smoke. They may collect bongs, many of which come in unique and artistic designs. However, they should care for and clean their bongs thoroughly and frequently.
Plus, Bong pals find the smoke clean and smooth because the water filters out the toxins and water-soluble waste. The tar will stick to the bong's walls, keeping it from entering your lungs. The smoke also cools, making it more comfortable to smoke.
Minus: Bongs are often fragile and complicated and require changing the water and cleaning the parts to reduce germs and toxins. More importantly, the water filters out the THC, reducing its potency.
Dab Rigs
Dab Rigs assure maximum flavor, aroma, and potency for several reasons. Dabbing involves placing (or "dabbing") a bit of cannabis concentrate on a heated "nail," a small flat spool-like protrusion. The nail requires repeated heating with a butane torch as it cools between puffs.
There is no combustion involved in dabbing, so inhaling cannabis does not include combusted paper or toxins. Because you are not inhaling flowers, the smoke comes from a cannabis wax or concentrate already processed to remove debris, toxins, and unnecessary elements. The processing produces a concentrated wax or honey that is purely potent THC or CBD.
Dabbing rigs are consequently smaller than bongs because you want the smoke to reach you quickly, losing potency over a lengthy trip. The rigs are more complicated and delicate than bongs and need clean care.
Plus: Because it heats cannabis concentrates, the experience is clean and potent. Concentrates have been processed to create the most potent experience while retaining the benefits of flavonoids and terpenes. Because you use so little wax or honey, you save money by getting an optimized result.
Minus: Dabbing ensures a highly potent, which can be risky for many. When the more significantly bigger than experienced with smoking weed, the reaction may be extreme, increasing the blood pressure, heartbeat, and paranoia. Some concentrates are tainted and packaged while still contaminated with solvents and toxins.
Vaporizers
Vaporizers come in many shapes and sizes. They are smaller than a computer flash drive, about the size of a pack of cigarettes, or larger than a ballpoint pen. They work on a combustion principle, but the materials and systems vary.
Vaporizers are available at low cost or high cost and in high or low quality. Some are meant to be disposable after one use, while others guarantee longevity if used correctly. Vaporizers use tiny mechanics to heat fluids, creating vapor for inhaling and exhaling. They will produce a high volume of vapor, so they are not as discrete as their size would indicate.
Vaporizers are used by millions with fluids other than those containing cannabis. Many vapes do satisfy the oral dependency associated with smoking cigarettes. Many teenagers vape because of peer pressure, and many just like the flavors and aromas.
However, cannabis users will feed their vaporizers with fluids infused with cannabis. Then, depending on the vaporizer, the fluid will be heated by hot air or bypassing the fluid over a hot surface to produce the vapor that carries the cannabis effects. Vaping has the shortest path from the product to the lungs, so it should provide results quickly and efficiently. However, the process that infuses the oils may reduce the pote,cy.
Plus, it clearly beats smoking cigarettes. It is hestartingat starts with keeping your teeth and breath clean. It also does away with the inconvenience of preparing joints. And it remains an innovative, healthier alternative to smoking tobacco with its carcinogens.
Minus: Some vaping oils contain nicotine, which can have adverse health effects, with some users reporting increased gum disease. The dry mouth attached can also lead to oral problems. Recent lung infections among adolescents who vape included fatalities attributed to the Vitamin E acetate in some vaping fluids. The costs accumulate as you repeatedly replace low-priced devices.
So, you see!
Bongs, Rigs, and Vaporizers differ. It can be a matter of "to each his own." However, each device needs some advice. You should just pick one up from King's Pipe and try it without some good input from friends or experienced "pros."
