Bongs and Vaporizers

The act of inhaling the smoke from burnt plant material goes back thousands of years and seems to have been around since the very earliest times.  Like most other inventions it was probably discovered accidentally and soon became standard practice, and today’s pipe smoker is the inheritor of a tradition almost as old as walking upright.

To primitive man, as also to the remote tribes of today, the necessary materials were all around them in the form of natural tubes such as bamboo and other plants for the equipment, herbs for the ingredients and flint-generated fire for the fuel.  Fortunately, with the exponential growth of the internet, indulging in a legal high is easy even for those of us who have lost the knowledge of how to hollow out a cane or create a fire.

Bongs are available in a variety of materials, from acrylic and aluminium to glass and wood, although glass is preferable for an uncontaminated smoke.  The herbal mixture is simply heated until smoke is given off and then water is used to filter the smoke and remove toxins before it is sucked up.  The mild hallucinogens in the smoke are also partially filtered out as well, so bongs are not ideal for a strong hit, and are more comparable to a few pints down at the local pub.

Vaporizers deliver a harder punch as they don’t actually ignite the herbs but only heat them up, and the vapour contains no harmful elements, which is why this equipment is used in aromatherapy.
