Question

Ok whats better for you a Bong or a vaporizer for you buds?

Answer 1

vaporizers are alot better for you because you inhale NO smoke just THC vapors

Answer 2

i think both are great for different reasons..

water bongs are actually worse for you because you have to smoke more weed in order to get your desired high. water bongs filter out the tar and carcinogens but it also filters the THC thus having to smoke more."water pipes filter out more psychoactive THC than they do other tars, thereby requiring users to smoke more to reach their desired effect". the kool thing about bongs is that it does help reduce certain water-soluble gases..

however i also found this

"MAPS, reviewed a study that examined the effects and composition of water-filtered and non-filtered cannabis and tobacco smoke. It found that when alveolar macrophages, an important component in the lungs' immune system, were exposed to unfiltered smoke, there was a marked reduction in the macrophages' ability to fight bacteria, whereas there was no such reduction in those exposed to water-filtered smoke. It also found that there is substantial epidemiological evidence among tobacco smokers that those who smoke through water-pipes, as opposed to cigarettes, cigars, and regular pipes, have lower incidences of carcinoma. "It appears that water filtration can be effective in removing components from cannabis smoke that are known toxicants... The effectiveness of toxicant removal is related to the smoke's water contact area. Specially designed water pipes, incorporating particulate filters and gas-dispersion frits, would likely be most effective in this regard; the gas-dispersion frit serves to break up the smoke into very fine bubbles, thereby increasing its water-contact area."This study suggests that a bong's smoke is less harmful than unfiltered smoke."

Bongs are also cheaper and easier to use..

vaporizers are really good because you get more THC then you would if your smoking it. the combustion that occurs when your smoking marijuana destroys about 25-50% of the cannabinoids found in the bud but when you use a vaporizer you get 95% pure THC and no toxins delivered in the vapor....but like educate about marijuana said its alot more expensive...

good luck in deciding!

Answer 3

A vaporizer for a few reasons.

First of all, you aren't actually inhaling the smoke when you use a vaporizer, you're inhaling the vapors the bud gives off. And while its true that bongs filter out a lot of the c**p thats bad for you, vaporizers pretty much filter out all of it, and you can get a /lot/ higher off a lot less. And it leaves very little smell which is an added bonus. But basically, you conserve more bud, get higher, and it's better for you overall.

Answer 4

good question paulee v.

BONGS:

everything has its ups and downs.  a bong is easy to prepare, easy to pack, and easy to use.  bongs can be aesthetically pleasing, and you can spend up to, but not limited to, as much as 500 dollars for a real cadillac of a bong.  they can be added with everything such as ice-notches, so they can hold ice in them, (sometimes multiple) ash-catchers to filter it more, (again, sometimes multiple) percolaters, bubble distributors, anything that makes you happy. its kind of like a scion, its a very customizeable car.  personally, i find bongs to be better for group smoking, versus say a piece or a vaporizer.

as far as health is concerned, bongs can remove most or all of the ash, and many of the carcinogens.  however, there is still minor damage to the lungs, but nothing comparable to tobacco smoke.

VAPORIZERS:

vaporizers have the immediate downside of being typically very expensive- the volcano, generally being the most well thought of vaporizer on the market, rarely ever runs below $500 (although you can bargain hunt). additionally, one of the downsides of vaporizers is that they only vape the marijuana that is in direct contact with the plate or heat source, so if you drop a fat nug into it, you're going to waste about half of it.  this can be easily solved by grinding the weed well before vaping, although you may get the occasional half-scorched nuglet. also, on a personal note, i find vaporizers not so conversational, ie not good for group smoking, but thats all a matter of personal taste.  the downsides end about there.  vaporizers are the best thing for your lungs, and deliver only the vaped trichomes of thc, and what i beleive is none of the carcinogens (this will vary depending on your source, i have heard 0% carcinogens, and ive heard that they have trace amounts).  regardless of that argument, this is the purest delivery system of marijuana, and will allow you to use the least amount of marijuana for the same level of buzz.  

happy toking.
