Which bongs work best with a dry herb vaporizer?

The number of people vaping dry herb cannabis has been steadily increasing as legalization continues to spread around the world.

Two popular consumption methods are using a traditional hookah, commonly known as a bong, and a vaporizer, often referred to as a vape.

Although vaping through a dry herb vaporizer is a safer way to consume cannabis than smoking, inhaling dry, hot air irritates the throat and lungs. On the other hand, the bong can cool and filter the hot smoke.

Thus, using a dry herb vaporizer in combination with a bong allows for cooler, smoother and larger hits without the risk of aggravation or irritation.

Is this possible? If you're not sure how a bong dry herb vaporizer works, then you've come to the right place.

In this article, we'll take a look at pairing a vaporizer with your bong and introduce which bongs work best with a dry herb vaporizer.

What are bongs?

The bong is a water pipe used for smoking dry herbs. Bongs usually consist of at least three main parts – bowl, water chamber and mouthpiece.

If you prefer the smoothest bongs available, then a percolator bong or recycler would be a good option.

Bongs are often made of glass, but can also be made of acrylic, silicone, metal, ceramic, and other materials.

All you have to do is fill the bowl with dry flowers, light it, inhale to draw the smoke into the water chamber, exhale and pull the slider, and then inhale the draw.

As the smoke passes through the water, it reduces the toxins and tiny particles. Additionally, the water can filter and cool the smoke produced from burning marijuana flowers, allowing for a smoother hit that won't burn your throat or lungs.

What are dry herb vaporizers?

Dry herb vaporizers are devices designed to heat herbs to just below combustion and release their active ingredients without producing smoke.

Inhaling dry herbs through vaporization poses fewer health risks compared to traditional smoking methods. Because the bud is not heated to the point of combustion, most carcinogens are not released.

There are many types of dry herb vaporizers where you can choose the heating method, size and temperature.

The handheld vaporizers are small and fit in your pocket or purse. You can easily take a quick hit without anyone noticing.

On the other hand, a desktop vaporizer is usually large and bulky, so you can't take it with you when traveling.

What is a vape bong adapter/attachment?

The attachment is a flexible silicone water pipe adapter that fits almost any mouthpiece stem and connects it to your favorite glass bong or bubbler.

This adapter can be dismantled into two separate parts. The larger piece includes recesses for more specific mouthpiece stems, while the smaller piece features a gradual taper for narrower mouthpieces.

This gives you more flexibility. This makes it easier to maneuver and use the bong without it tipping over and spilling things everywhere.

Remember that e-cigarettes have mouthpieces of different shapes and sizes. So your adapters are specific to the vaping device.

In some cases these are included as accessories. In other cases they must be purchased separately. There is no one-size-fits-all solution.

Don't worry! Adapters can easily be purchased online. The most common adapter sizes are 10mm, 14mm and 18mm.

Just make sure the size of your dry herb vaporizer's mouthpiece and bong joint match.

Finally, remember that you need to clean this tube regularly to remove the sticky resin to ensure pure taste.

Which bongs work best with a dry herb vaporizer?

Almost any bong or bubbler can be adapted and used as an herb vaporizer, provided you have the right rubber or silicone adapter.

Most bongs come in three different joint sizes: 10mm, 14mm or 18mm.

Most herb vaporizers use a 14mm WPA (water pipe adapter), so we most often recommend a bong with a 14mm connector. Of course, there are also adapters for reducing/enlarging the joint.

While you can actually use any bong or bubbler with an herb vaporizer, we recommend using less percolation/water! The more percolation, the less flavor!

While cannabinoids are not water-soluble, terpenes tend to bind much more easily and lose some of their pleasant flavor in the process.

You can even avoid water or just use ice to cool down, since filtration does little with e-cigarettes other than dulling the taste a bit. The longer, cooler air path is the primary benefit of glass when vaping.

Larger bongs also tend to have more resin stuck to the sides due to condensation. We therefore recommend a bong that is not too big and does not filter too much! Otherwise you will lose too much effectiveness and taste.

Plus, you don't need a lot of water to make the steam incredibly even anyway! Just make sure you clean your bong every few weeks and change the water every day.

If you can't do that, you probably don't need a bong. Good smoking habits are the only more important part of your bong setup.

How do I use a dry herb vaporizer with a bong?

To use a dry herb vaporizer with a bong, you will need a bong, a vaporizer, and a compatible vape bong adapter.

First, fill your vaporizer with your chosen herb. After filling, attach your adapter to your vaporizer.

Second, you can put the vaporizer (with adapter) in place by removing the bowl from the bong. The seat should be tight so that no steam can escape.

Third, all you need to do is turn on (or heat up) your vaporizer. After a short while, take a hit on the bong's mouthpiece and watch the chamber fill with cool vapor.

And there you have it! That's all you need to combine a vaporizer with a bong.

Using a dry herb vaporizer with a bong offers a completely new experience.

With the cool temperatures of a vaporizer paired with the water filtration of a bong, your vapor will be cool and smooth than ever before. Plus, it will taste great too.

All you need is an adapter/silicone hose that easily attaches to both. This accessory makes the impossible possible. It really takes your vaping journey to a new level.

So if you can avoid inhaling hot, harmful vapor, why not do it?
