Bong Water Alternatives and other things bong water

[Bandit420]

Read an email from Purple Rose about bong water alternatives and some of the nasty shit that can grow in bong water when it's not changed out after every use.

Curious if anybody has tried or uses these alternatives:
Unsweetened pure cranberry juice
sparkling water
water with sliced lemon
water with mint leaves

In addition they say to avoid sugar drinks and booze.

When it comes to dirty bong water, here's the list of nasties wanting to crash your session:
bacteria
fungus
yeast

And if you see a biofilm in your bong water then you may have E. coli, strep, and black mildew joining your party.

Of course this all could be bro science or fact for all I know. I'm already kinda anal about keeping my glass clean for the next use but have never tried anything other than water, ice, and/or snow in my bongs. And no, the snow was not yellow.

I know there are some surfactants that you can add to increase the surface area of the bubbles.

Bong water gets nasty especially if the ash is getting sucked into the water.

note to this sentence.. "THC is soluble in alcohol, so liquids containing alcohol are generally not recommended, especially not high content alcohol."

Jack Daniels

I am thinking Mountain Dew in the bong today~!
Also thinking tea will be great.
When I finally get around to pressing hash I will be adding a little black tea into it.
Just the thought of tea and cannabis sound perfect together.
You got chocolate on my peanut butter~! Not sorry~!

Yeah young and dumb is a gift and a curse.
I used vodka once back in high school. Bad choice. Kinda surprised nobody has ever unknowingly turned their bong into a pipe bomb!

Another thing I've noticed since my younger days and passing the age of 40...Before 40 there were a lot of glass bongs and pipes I broke before I could even clean it the first time.
After 40 years old, nothing is getting broke and some bongs are getting close to 15 years old now!
50s are pretty cool so far though. Old enough to know better than to do some of that dumb shit but young enough to do it anyways. It's a fine line

The cranberry juice is interesting and I'll try it today with my dragon bong. It's a 3 chamber bong with a dragon percolater in the center chamber. I wanna fill that part with the cranberry juice and make it look like the dragon is rising from a pool of blood and blowing smoke

I'm also wondering about adding terps to bong water

Imagine if your favorite flavored smoke was just that easy~!
You know how they say don't touch that and the first thing you want to do is touch it~!

Used to use cheap white wine, not as bad as a mouth full of bong water.

When I was younger I designed a nitrous injected bong in my mind. Then I remembered that it is very flammable and wouldn’t have been a good idea. I use ice water.

We have some Mtn. Dew in the house. My wife loves it for work and drinks it like an energy drink. The regular store I shop only carries regular and diet so I make special runs to Walmart for all the crazy bootleg and banned everywhere flavors of Dew they carry for her just to freak her out.

Only one I've tried is the Mtn. Dew Black and it tasted like grape flavor Dew. Code Red is her fave

Y'all are doing it wrong! The best way to use a bong with liquor is to fill the bong with water and fill the double shot glass next to it with some Jack! Problem solved!!

BOTS! Bong hits + Shots!!

I remember the Buzz Bomb~!

It was the 70's

Had this apple kush in like 2005-06 that tasted like a green apple. We would fill the bong up with apple juice from time to time with it. Empty it immediately, but man that was some smooth shit...we just did it for shits and giggles...not sure how much it helped but that weed was some straight awesome shit terps wise (buzz too)

back in the day we would take bong rips wearing a gas mask... after the rip we would shove a nitrous cracker in the hose and let one rip in the same inhale!!!!

yep young n dumb!!!!!!!!! one brain cell waving bye bye to the other!!!!! hahaha

Didn't have any Mountain Dew so I used Sweet Black iced tea today~!
It was incredibly smooth. I am just shocked.
As a youth we would do crazy stuff but never tried anything in the bong besides water, snow or ice.
Fruit juices sound very appealing after my experiment today.

The only thing ive used aside from water was cranberry moonshine, it was really good.
