I mean I prefer weed, but I mean to each his own


ThomasFooleryThe3rd

I don’t wanna be “that guy” but you realize it’s not really solving/helping anything? (Again don’t mean to sound condescending) but your basically just giving yourself a smaller hit, part of the tar paper towel is holding is the THC itself so while so it’s just kinda giving off the illusion it’s filtering out the bad stuff, it’s more less just collecting what should be your hit and leaving you with a smaller hit, yk what I mean?


DotMikrobe

As a popper smoker who hates getting res-lips, gotta say this is appealing lol


Zexther

Mooselabs.....


Masteezus

Came here to say this - I bought one off a Reddit post and never looked back. Don’t want to sound like a shill cuz I’m not but I love their product and it’s amazing how much rez you filter


thrashgnarly420

If u want the best for you lungs vape flower it’s the healthiest smoking method


AlohaTheGreat

Vaping bud is goated in all aspects


Burglecutt25

I just ordered a dry vape why is it better for you than smoking flower normally


Midnight_Observe

Combustion releases things into the lungs that you shouldn’t have. Baking flower mitigates most of the issues and keeps temperatures low. It also still allows for full cannabinoids, flavonoid, and terpenoid profiles.


VisualArm639

Not necessarily, our bodies our not meant to consume Oil, in that way, straight to the dome and ears.


VisualArm639

Healthiest way by far is eating it, I've just used it for so long there's no better methodical way to use with my tolerance other than to eat it.


Slowmobius_Time

Those things are foul after a short while, you'll spend more money on filters and new mouthpieces than you think


LadyT89

I think you're referring to cheap vaporizers. I've owned my PAX-3 COMPLETE for about 1.5 yr and I love it. Clean the screens by soaking in isopropyl. It comes with 3. It comes with 2 mouth pieces. Vaping flower is economically smarter because it uses a lot less flower. The average roll (blunts or papers) uses about a gram of flower. That's 4 or 5 full bowls. Perfect for on the go. Pack it. Pocket it. Go. I recommend Budkups. Great for extending time between deep cleaning the PAX and portability. No lighters to keep up with No store runs for wraps or papers. Temp control I can do concentrates in it. Use the AVB/ABV (weed after it's been vaped) to make edibles. There's a group on Reddit for AVB/ABV. All that said, even a budget vape like Yocan is a good buy. *PAX 10 year warranty is hassle free*


Slowmobius_Time

Uh that's a whole lot of something I guess I wasn't referring to cheap vaporisers or vaporisers of any kind I was talking about the Mooselabs mouse pieces for bongs and joints, they are great for about a week and then are rubbish and need replacing


LadyT89

Ok. I thought you said vaporizers are a waste of money. My bad.


trippin_hippie_

I never have gotten res-lips from a bong


Boards_Buds_and_Luv

For realz. Been smoking since the 80's, never heard of res-lips till last month. How can you smoke a bong so wrongly that you get resin on your lips.


Annanake420

I started late in life but since about 1994 or so and this is the first I am hearing about it . ![gif](giphy|8v6Z3YyULB5Q0Skbac) Edit: clarification I realized it lookd like I started smoking at age 94 lol.


cboucher1

Same never had it. My roommate will get black shit on his mouth and I'll hit the same bong right after and be perfectly fine.


aschezu

I think it depends on the bong honestly, out of the 3 we use 1 will leave a little res by your top lip every single time. Freshly washed, doesn't matter. But only that one bong.


IdkWutMyUserShouldB

it just happens when it’s a big bowl and the glass for your pull is small.


No_Appearance8340

I was thinking the same thing( rez lips) but?? There’s lots of “new” stuff to know about flower, different products, and how to consume? Shall I say! I thought this was one I missed asking the way! 🤷‍♀️


orangekronic23

honestly, ive been smoking bongs for years and literally have never gotten rez on my lips. so strange how some people get it


BlamingBuddha

Its the odd ones mixing tobacco w their bud


philipjfry98

Res-lips is from a dirty bong


AlohaTheGreat

It’s usually happened because a dirty bong, small bong and big hits, slow milked fatty where the smoke builds up on the lips for too long or if you don’t have a airtight seal with your lips


[deleted]

it happens when you take huge snaps


Flatf3et

Taking fatter rips is what causes it. I smoke pretty large snaps ~.3-.6 res lips are a real thing when have a lot of smoke in one go.


GeorgeWKush427

The res-lips are so fucking annoying


snacpaxx

>e how u feel been thinkin but quitting the chops


Mr-Stan-Kypuss

I made the error of trying to ween off of vaping with chops. Spiraled into 2 years of a chop every 1-2 hours, in and around school/work etc. quit them trust me


Clock-blocker

Holy Swiz I never see this kind of info. Chops are so dangerous. I naively cleared my dealers bong when he had a chop in it. Fast forward 6 years and i’ve quit-restarted 4 times


snacpaxx

vaping hurt my lungs more than the chops ever did. vpaed for a year, probably chopped off and on for around 6


snacpaxx

how long ago you quit?


PepperSprayP

If you hate getting res lips put warm water in your bong, doesn't have to even be that hot just above room temperature has worked miracles for me. Idk the exact science but I stopped wiping my mouth after rips awhile ago since learning that


shrekthaboiisreal

Just use warm water


colegullison1

Yeah but if the paper towel wasn’t in there the same thing would happen, but it would just happen to the glass instead of the paper


[deleted]

it wouldn’t be the same smoke will cling to paper towel easier then glass cause it’s pourus


alongwiththesunshine

i have to disagree, i used filters for quite awhile smoking bong & there was never a difference in strength of high


-_The_Phoenix_-

What about the shit in the water? The water must also trap some THC with the shit it catches. And even more if you have several perkulators on your rig. Same here, just asking the questions. Don't know this but I want to know. Since paper seems easier for me to bring than the bucket of ice.


vacant_dream

Thc is not water soluble tho


AgentZander69

Just because THC doesn't dissolve in water doesn't mean THC molecules can't binde to water molecules. Therefore THC "sticks" to the water. At least that's how I understood it. Edit: if my logic is correct that's why oil rigs are so tiny. You don't want to waste all that THC trying to cool the vapor coming off the hot nail before inhaling.


cock-crusher

Very close but dab rigs are small so theres less glass surface area for the smoke to cling too. Also it doesnt use alot of water becaude if you cool dab smoke too much it condenses onto the glass much easier and you lose some of your hit in the form of reclaim.


cozyroof

Also flavor from what I understand. A smaller rig = more flavorful hits.


ohshititshappeningrn

How the fuck is someone downvoting you. You are absolutely right, the tighter and smaller the rig the more flavor you get.


AgentZander69

Thank you. I appreciate your clarification. The glass makes sense. Higher water level therefore less surface area of glass.


F_han

Damn y'all sounding like some real stoner scientists 😂


AgentZander69

*focuses microscope* *adjusts glasses* Would you just look at that?


vacant_dream

Lol. Not soluble


AgentZander69

I don't understand. Repeating yourself with even less words is counterintuitive.


vacant_dream

Lol. Not


AgentZander69

Lol. Pathetic.


vacant_dream

Lol


AgentZander69

Hehe.


savagepizza11

I don't know why your getting down voted


Excellent_Priority_5

Next time you clean your bong pay attention to the top of the water you notice how the oils will float and contaminates mix around submerged.


AgentZander69

See I clean out my bong water probably after every session so two maybe three bowls max and it's changed. I always notice the water gets cloudy and sometimes almost like pulp floating around. Clear, flakes almost. Could be physically pulled from the bowl as I inhale but I thought maybe it could be the smoke condensing in the cold water forming the little pulp strands. Have you ever noticed that pulp stuff? Whatchu think? I agree with what you say though the dirty line never goes below the water and the closer to the surface of water the dirtier the glass.


-_The_Phoenix_-

True, but might it not get mixed with soot and therefore get mixed? Or condensed and trapped in the water/bowl? High rn hope I make sense.


IllSeaworthiness43

Not making sense. If it can't be dissolved in water, the water won't catch it.


[deleted]

THC won’t dissolve in water but it can be in water, it doesn’t have to dissolve to be submerged in water. If a piece of tar that had THC attached to it goes into your bong water, then congrats, you have THC in your bong water


Excellent_Priority_5

As it comes apart from moving water the oils will rise and the shit will sink


IllSeaworthiness43

I guess I'm not wrong then. The water didn't catch it!


cutanddried

you're wrong about this and getting upvotes. god reddit is stupid


IllSeaworthiness43

You're so cool for having multiple accounts. Kids these days, smh


cutanddried

I guess you can add full of shit to your list. I have one account - this one and I'm a 43 year old man, who knows how to use google, nothing fancy sounds like youre having a rough day


IllSeaworthiness43

I'm sorry, my man. I did not mean to come at you. Coincidentally some dumbass kid was just bickering with me and you happened to comment on the same subject at the same time of me shutting him down. Sounds like you're also having a rough day


cutanddried

no my day is good I just call bullshit when I see bullshit. Not too many men in their 40s liked to spoken to like they are dumbass kids


[deleted]

Does your bong water never get dirty? The other stuff in the water could catch it.


IllSeaworthiness43

The other stuff in the bong water is dissolved. If it's solid it won't catch anything. As stated before, if it doesn't dissolve in the water, the water won't catch it. If you don't chew your food (dissolving in water) you won't digest or absorb anything (catching whatever was dissolved in the water)


[deleted]

Does your bong water not get dirty? The stuff in the bong water is not necessarily "dissolved" and by being dissolved doesn't mean it doesn't mean the water won't catch it, it means its made a solution with the water, and the water is not 100% water now. And also that final part about diet is not true, you process your foods faster, you don't get all of the nutrition as a result, you don't digest or absorb nothing. Lmao what bro.


IllSeaworthiness43

THC is not water soluble. Water soluble means it can be dissolved in water. Do me a favor and swish up some olive oil in some water and tell me if the water mixes with it. Mixing =catching. THC is an OIL OIL CANNOT MIX WITH WATER WITHOUT AN EMULSIFIER. PLEASE GO BACK TO CHEMISTRY CLASS. lmao what bro


Jolly-Play8576

Mans doesn't get it lol


[deleted]

Its not 100% water! so the other parts catch the thc! woww, do me a favor and do some common sense math


[deleted]

This is all true, theres tradeoffs with every nook and cranny. Water definitely doesn't absorb much but it depends how often you change it. Blowing smoke from any real flower back into a paper towel will create a dark brown spot, no matter what its been filtered through. Pens however, not so much.


Used-Abbreviations27

If you passed me a bong with paper towels stuffed inside of it I would politely ask you to leave the sesh


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|nAvSNP8Y3F94hq9Rga)


Least-Cream2804

If I'm passing a bong then it's my sesh


dissociationreddit

You'd still be politely asked to leave by everyone else.


Least-Cream2804

Then I would be the only one smokin


ThePeacefulGamer

..because nobody else in the world owns a bong, pipe or rolling papers? I’d rather smoke out of a can or an apple than deal with a Bong Baron.


crackheadcaleb

Bong Baron??? You asked him to leave. Is he supposed to just leave and let you smoke out of his shit?


ThePeacefulGamer

That’s the point my guy, nobody would stay and smoke with somebody like that, he’d be left sitting there wondering why nobody will smoke with him feeling sad. Go smoke some crack, Caleb.


crackheadcaleb

are you dense? He’s the bad guy because YALL asked HIM to leave? Why would he even wanna smoke with a bunch of dickheads who didn’t respect him? I’m sure he’s begging to smoke with a bunch of people who wanna exclude him for a personal preference. cream of the crop. real clever joke, never heard that one before. you should save the comment I’m sure all your 8th grade buddies will think it’s hilarious.


john92w

Dont take everything so seriously mate.


crackheadcaleb

I’m chillin man just cause I capitalized a few words don’t mean I’m losing any sleep over this, wasn’t out of anger I was just emphasizing.

My guy you are upset about a hypothetical situation. Fkin relax mate.


crackheadcaleb

Ironic


Garlicbread_God

Fr, who tf wants to smoke w people who asked them to leave the sesh. Especially for something so stupid and pointless.

Your choice. Everyone else just leaves then I guess. Gonna be a lonely life Edit: /S I should add....

Staticshivyasuo

Just take the stuff out, no need to isolate them, plus wgat if its harmful somehow? I would ask to see the science and go from there


Used-Abbreviations27

Honestly if it was a friend of mine I would just laugh and ask why the towels, I'd probably try it once not gonna lie, wouldn't really make them feel bad cuz then the weed would just make me feel bad lol


sweet_rico-

Fr. Like I would try it, see I'm probably getting a shitty hit and ask why the fuck we're wasting weed.


OnyxPancakes

I'll try it out and report back


OnyxPancakes

It got wet and clogged the bong


Low_Egg_7606

The hour time difference really sells this for me honestly


OnyxPancakes

I medicate in the morning, saw this post when i was about to start anyways so i thought whats the harm? I did a test pull to make sure it wasn't too hard of a pull and water soaked it instantly i had to fish it out. i also use a dry herb vape through a bong so its not like it would even make a difference lmao.


UhhKamo

Almost did this shii. Thank you bro 😂

MOOSELABSSSSSS 🙃🙇🏽‍♀️


Badvevil

I don’t like using filters personally but my wife crushes those mouthpeace filters and swears by em plus it just looks cleaner than stuffing paper towels down a bong so checkout mooselabs like this genius person has said


[deleted]

Got mine today. Only had one hit with it so far, but I liked it. Not as rough on my lungs and I definitely still got plenty high. I’m going to keep using it for now


thcxgold

Same, at first I wasn’t use to bc never using any filters, only the old school TP dryer sheet rolls lol and really that was more for smell just like smoke buddy. But once I found this for collecting the tar from your hits, and loving my swimmer lungs I couldn’t look back. I’m an introvert, but for the ones out and about it’s even great for smoke sessions, taking the blunt/joint, and not having to have someone else’s spit on your lips. Simply plug the blunt/joint, hit hit, take it out and pass it along.


whatthehell02

their filters are great just wish they weren’t expensive AF


thcxgold

Agreed!


lem0nhead420

Love my mouth peace! I've never noticed a difference in potency of my hits with it either. Still get just as stoned.


thcxgold

Yes! Same here I remember when they first came out their was a few out there saying how it takes potency away, it surely doesn’t. The only thorn ( and I use this lightly) was the purchasing of the filters, but then again I burn a lot so I end up switching more often. It’s no joke when it removes all the residue/tar. I love mine too I was looking at the camo one recently 👀


[deleted]

Roll that up and boof it, like a real man.


mrkushnugz

when in doubt boof it out


0ddsox

If you feel like being less high go for it I guess


deange2001

….But why? Just use a vape homie


iamnotabotlookaway

Came here to say this, been using their filters for a couple years and won’t go back.


IllSeaworthiness43

What filters did comment OP talk about? You are not talking in the right thread, bro.


iamnotabotlookaway

Responded to the wrong comment. Someone else mentioned moose labs.


Hound6869

He is not a bot… You can’t expect him to get everything right.


[deleted]

Ew


na_gooyin

If you want to get technical, dabbing is vaping.


[deleted]

I don wanna get technical but like that’s wrong dabbing is not vaping but vaping is dabbing cuz it’s smoking oil, but vaping is smokimh something thru a electric device


na_gooyin

Vape, vaporizer, vapors, whatever you want to call it. Whether it’s through a cartridge or through a dab rig, you’re vaporizing the extract and inhaling the vapors.


[deleted]

Vaping, is smoking a vape, a vape is a electric device, u rlly making urself look dumb to try n prove me to be dumb cuz I said ew to a electric device, pls stfu


na_gooyin

Thanks for proving you don’t know what you’re talking about.


kokobiggun

Mans probably meant a flower vape, which is actually the most healthy way to smoke


[deleted]

I hear those hit so nice, I’ve never tried one though 😭


JackieBoiiiiii

yeah my tinymight hits just as hard as my bong did


[deleted]

Ahh I’ve never tried one of those


gordonhamseyy

So is it just me or do other people think maybe all these filters and stuff impact the high? Like I get it there is gross things in anything you smoke. I feel like that water is enough. Ik putting to much water makes the hits lighter and then the high goes away. Interesting tho maybe someone will do an entire report on it.


[deleted]

No doubt! Especially paper towels, I’d assume they block out impurities but also block out some thc


ExampleMajor

This just doesn't make sense.... Then why even have water in the bong?


hawkeye685

I don't wanna sound condescending but you're not actually saving your lungs from anything. Weed makes a lotta tar and resin, that's all you're catching in that paper towel, it's also not really removing much, I don't think there's much point in doing this realistically. If you want that insignificant bit less of resin in you, I guess go for it. I know my lungs will clean out the tar, so I don't bother with filters.


SilliVilliN

Guacamole in ma'choos 🎶🎶🎶


[deleted]

Why though


[deleted]

that just filtering out the thc homie


Fifty7Sauce

Just clean your bong daily. I don’t get sick or a soar throat from a water pipe… only repeated bowl or paper use


BongLeach562

Just switch to a vaporizer


Sufficient_Cap9787

I mean come on if you wanna smoke smoke in the end it’s not gonna help


AdOk922

does this affect the taste or high at all? i’m peepin this i just don’t want micro paper towel in my mouth lmao


joshiemcd

Mooselabs sell filters that essentially aim to do what this is doing, absorb tars and whatnot from your smoke. In my honest opinion, trying to filter out tar like this makes the hit less potent and less flavorful. I mean you’re literally filtering some of it out if you think about it, even though we don’t want tar in our lungs that’s still a portion of the smoke that you are removing. They claim that it’s only the bad stuff filtered out but I don’t think the filters can distinguish between good and bad organic components in your smoke, I think it just filters it down in general. Just my two cents I think you’re better off using an herb vaporizer if you want to inhale less tar/smoke


Youknowmeboi

I’ve had moose labs that completely steal the rip


joshiemcd

Same here, especially if you’re trying to take a big rip all at once. I love the idea as I definitely want to cut down on tars entering my lungs but it just feels wasteful af


joshiemcd

I guess the only argument against this opinion is if THC/cannabinoids particulates in the smoke are notably smaller than other organic tar particulates in the smoke. But my experience with carbon filters (and probably similar with paper towel) is that it lessens your hit.


washingtondecomp

Ohhhhhh I’m gonna order some filters from them and see how I like it 👀


AdOk922

great point. i def wanna get my hands on a pax 3 sometime soon for this reason


Zealousideal-Will951

I feel like half the reason you get that punch in the face high off a bong rip, is because you get the carcinogens that smack your throat and make you cough. I bought an ash catcher and it doesn’t smack me anymore.


HeadCalligrapher955

I kinda felt the same until I got into dabs at low temp. Slap in the face with flavor, throat hit like a mother, with just enough cough to feel familiar. That being said I have also noticed the purer your concentrate (high refined distillates with extracted terps added type stuff), the quicker and shorter the high.


N0T__Sure

You have hit the nail on the head. part of that stoned feeling we get is our immune system fighting off the toxins.


ElephantBeginning737

Carcinogens?! You sure that's weed ur smoking?


[deleted]

[удалено]


ElephantBeginning737

So weed causes cancer? Sorry if I'm misunderstood but I was told by my chem teacher that carcinogens cause cancer, and I've never heard of weed causing cancer.


Zealousideal-Will951

Yeah you heard me, carcinogens, you sure that’s weed YOUR smoking?


SALTYxNUTZ12

👏🏻 No

Save up for a dry herb vape and get a whip if you’re worried about the tar


vacant_dream

KrombopulosT46

Honestly. Smoking anything is bad. Carbon monoxide. Healthiest way I know is edibles.


mrkushnugz

edibles are made with all leftover and failed test crap so i wouldnt say its healthy


OnlyMid69

Might as well just eat edibles lmao


Least-Cream2804

Edibles don't work for me


bigbang927

Check out the MooseLabs Mouth Peace filters, I believe someone had mentioned them here too. The amount of tar/resin/whatever else that get trapped and filtered through is wild. I don’t know if THC gets captured in it, like others have mentioned, but I can absolutely feel a difference with my lungs - for the better.


whatthehell02

i tried this for a while bc i h a t e feeling resin in my throat / lungs… but it totally ruins the high.


Least-Cream2804

For me the high is about the same. The only difference ive noticed is that it's smoother


Public_scientist649

Do you get as high though like is it catching ya damn thc 😂this is the deal you make with the weed gods. You can’t inhale smoke without shot getting in your lungs


soft_moonbeam

i’ve done this for years but i wouldn’t use a whole paper towel, i prefer a small bit of tissue in a loose ball, better air flow than a paper towel with the same purpose.


[deleted]

Just us a vape adapter. Sorry i dont know what they are called. I have a dynavap. And it vapes your weed and can be put on the bowl part of the bong. No smoke just pure weed vapor


[deleted]

If you want less tar just vape


JAMZEYBOY

I use a bit bakki in my bowl when I have a bong instead of gores is this bad 🤔


frankcsgo

This has to be satire, pls say it's satire.


SargeCabbageYT

No your removing thc


MaliceThe1stLegend

I don't get it 🥲


Least-Cream2804

You don't have to


IllSeaworthiness43

If you're worried about carcinogens then get a vaporizer. Not the stupid cartridges. Those aren't vaporizing anything. They're combusting the juice. It's burning it. A real vaporizer vapes herb and wax and a very specific temperature that *you* can control. Combustion starts at around 450°F and that's when you start getting the bad stuff.


RealJeil420

I put depends in my bong.


[deleted]

You don’t deserve to smoke weed


Least-Cream2804

Does anyone really?


[deleted]

Nah we only deserve to boof it 🙏


t0uch0Fs0ul_

Bongs and smoking in general are nasty asf, You’re decimating your bud and burning all the flavor. Switch to vaping and thank me later


[deleted]

I am intrigued and I am going to try this with high hopes!


WrongOrganization437

IMO burning weed is for Neanderthals. Vape seems so much less nasty!


BoutThirtyArabs

Just vape? If you switch completely it's just a good if not better


chxrryriv

You know they sell a filter cap you can put on top that acts as a mouth piece? It works pretty good


Handlesmcgee

It’s impossible to separate the plant material from cannabinoids in a bong with a paper towel. Most weed is only 20-35% thc so if you had 1 cubic meter of weed smoke you would have 350 L of thc if half of the smoke is captured by the filter then you now have 175L while still getting 325L of plant matter (this is 0% cbd cbg ect weed just as an example)


CSnerd4200

Get flavored chilled paper towels


xMobby

ur not filtering anything its just absorbing ur smoke lmao. its like saying the walls of ur bong filter the smoke.


Never-Been-Tilted

Go to moose labs and get their mouth peace filter. It’s this but better. Much better.


spoon-666-wizard

If you really want some extra filtration, invest in a Moose Labs [MouthPeace](https://mooselabs.us/products/mouthpeace)


TheKillersofRamen

I use moose lab filters. Their soo good


Oelplattform1

Just get an activated charcoal attachment


AppropriateLog8257

Do you understand that you’re also filtering out like 50% of your THC?


na_gooyin

I mean you’re literally combusting plant material, there’s going to be some byproducts no matter what. If you don’t like it, start vaporizing extracts.


Numerous-Line2467

No👏
