Yeah if you soak your herb in there. It won't pull it out of the smoke. I've done it and still got just as high.
No matter what anyone says, water is the best thing to put in your bong. Hot, cold, whatever. Nothing can beat it.
Make sure you have the right kind of bong for ice water. Ice water and a hot stem or bowl will cause something to break.
Nothing that won't ruin/degrade the quality of your smoke. Especially sugary liquids (aka soda)...stay away from those. I heard milk is pretty cool in bongs, but I don't know about that. If you want a smoother hit put ice in your bong (if it has ice catchers). A vaporizer will also make your hits smoother and taste better.
You could also try to get a diffused downstem. edit: nevermind...I just read that your bong was home made. Maybe you can get a diffy for it anyways? Idk
soda will make your bong sticky. ive tried caprisun roarin' waters and it was orange flavor and the smoke tasted tangy. i dont recommend anything but water though
I've heard some hot tea makes hits really smooth, but i'm not 100% on that. I'd just go with some hot water, or ice water.
Green tea that is Fresh brewed( not arizona ice tea) then put in the fridge then poor in your bong; makes a nice taste. Another great alternative is using a cold water bottle pour in kook-aid singles. Shake it till it's mixed, then pour the water in the bong. Don't mix it in the bong as the powder will stick to the sides.
I really like to use hot water because the steam mixed with the smoke feels nicer than cold water when taking big hits.
Anything but water will dissolve the THC as it passes through. I've tried using Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum ( Similar to Captain Morgan) in my bubbler, and I did NOT get much of a buzz at all. If you want a smoother hit, make a better piece or buy one, buy better bud, or take smaller hits and if you don't like the taste, then don't smoke?
Yeah its a bad idea. Ive tried it and it just makes everything sticky. Milk does nothing. Vodka is good but Ive only tried it once.
