Bubbling bong water? Bong water for red wine?

Bongs offer a much smoother smoking experience compared to joints and bowls.

The presence of water, usually cold tap water, effectively filters the smoke and cools it down for a hit that is not only strong, but smooth as well. Most people use cold or room temperature water, although some go further by adding ice cubes. Then there are also those who use hot water.

No matter what camp you are in, there is no doubt that bongs offer a significantly better smoking experience for everyone.

But did you know that you can use liquids other than water to flavor your smoke? Experienced bong users know that using alternative bong water can drastically improve the overall experience. Here are some bong water alternatives you can use to flavor your high next time you hit it:

• Sparkling water is more popular than ever these days. LaCroix, Perrier, and other famous brands offer a delicious way to stay cool and hydrated, but they can also be used in bongs. For many experienced bong users, sparkling water is among the best bong water choices because trust us, your hit will feel so much different due to the fizz.

You will notice a slight fizz as soon as you inhale your weed. Many report that the more tokes you take, the cooler it feels. Opt for fruit flavors like citrus, grapefruit, lime, mango, and lemon. There are dozens of flavors to choose from these days, and you might be surprised at how delicious sparkling water can be when you use it as a bong water.

• Tea is a trendy bong water choice, especially for tea lovers. Try using freshly brewed herbal, green, or black teas, which add subtle flavors to your smoke.

With all the different types of tea out there, the possibilities are endless when it comes to the types of flavors you can try. Just make sure not to brew the tea in your bong, instead brew it first in a teapot before adding it. This is a great idea, especially in winter when brewing hot tea gives a nice, warming sensation when smoked. However, if you use hot liquids in your bong, as cheap bongs made with inferior water can end up bursting.

Also, do not use hot liquids in acrylic or plastic bongs as they can release toxic fumes due to the heat. If your bong is made from these materials, you can still benefit from tea flavors when using room temperature tea.

You can make your own homemade iced tea or buy a store-bought powder. After brewing or mixing, chill it in the fridge for a few hours, then add some ice cubes before adding to your bong. Of course, you can also just buy a bottle of ready-to-drink iced tea and pour it directly into the bong chamber. You might even want to experiment with pairing iced tea with citrus and lemon flavors for an even more enjoyable taste.

• Wine does a surprisingly good job as flavored bong water. The same isn’t true for other types of alcohol, as they would usually make the hit too hard, but it’s different with wine, especially if you’re using a fruity, rich variety.

If using wine, we recommend using one with less alcohol, although you won’t get drunk from it. The experiences that await you when using wine in your bong are endless; You can even try mixing and matching wine depending on the strains you use. If you’re particularly fond of wine, you can also enjoy a glass on the side to boost your high.

You can pour cranberry juice straight into your bong whether it’s room temperature or cold. As an added bonus, the acidity of cranberry juice helps keep glass bongs cleaner for longer.

Things to consider when flavoring your bong water

If you use liquids other than sterile water in your bong, remember that it can increase the risk of bacterial development if you don’t clean it quickly enough.

Using these popular alternatives to water in your bong is safe and tried and tested, but don’t forget to clean your bong regularly between uses. Also keep in mind that pieces of wood are not compatible with using bong water as its porous nature only allows the liquids to seep into the wood. For the best results when using flavored water, glass bongs work best. However, if you’re using rock, metal, plastic, or acrylic bongs, you should still be fine as long as you don’t use hot water and remember to always clean the water chamber.

You also want to make sure you use a fresh batch of flavored water every time. Imagine you want the liquid to be so fresh that you can actually drink it: it should be that clean and fresh. However, you should never reuse bong flavored water. The liquid filters out old plant matter and ash, so you don’t want to be breathing in these contaminants when reusing bong water.
