The Bong Finally, a subject on which I seem to know something that has not already been addressed. Bongs! I was introduced to the bamboo bong in it's most rudumentary and successful form, that of a 12" tube of 2" bamboo open at both ends and with a pipebowl and stem inserted near one end in such a way as to comfortably hold the bong upright while lighting it. To use the bong, one covered the end near the pipebowl and stem with a hand, placed the other open end on the mouth, and lit the bowl with the free hand. Upon sucking the smoke from the pipe, when one could taste the smoke, the smoker held the bong with the lighter hand and partially or wholly removed the hand stopping the bottom and inhaled the contents of the bamboo. There were acrylic bongs made on this pattern. Today the bong has devolved into a sort of poor waterpipe, absorbing more active ingrediants from the smoke: waterpipes no more cooling than the simple physics of a large mass of cool air entraining a smaller body of hot smoke.

Haven't been able to find an actual bong online, just sorts of contorted waterpipes which are plainly impossible to easily clean. So, I smoke a small pipe, kiss my girlfriend, and she inhales the smoke cooled by my exhale.2clever4u (talk) 23:08, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
