Cannabis enthusiasts always find different ways to elevate their smoking experience. Whether using flavored rolling paper or a bubbler, there are various ways to enhance your smoking experience if you know where to look. Bubble bongs or bubblers are popular cannabis paraphernalia that marijuana smokers adore. But how do they function? How to effectively use them? Many such questions keep bothering people when they are first venturing into the world of bongs. To help you out, here is everything you should know about bubblers.
What is a Bubbler?
It will be easier to understand how bubblers work if you are already familiar with bongs. Like regular bongs, bubblers involve water that makes bubbles when you smoke. That is why it is called a bubble bong or bubbler. One of the significant benefits is the size, as bongs are comparatively larger. Bubblers are smaller, compact, and smaller than bongs, making them easier to carry around.
Like a bong, bubble bongs also function based on the percolation method, which helps filter and cool the smoke when it passes through the water. The water in the chamber works as a filter and a cooler to filter out the impurities and cool down the smoke. That way, the user gets cold and smoother hits without coughing or causing irritation to the throat. Many smokers also state that the bubblers also help improve the cannabis taste thanks to the purifying effects of the water. That means you can significantly enhance the flavor of whichever herb strain you choose for smoking.
The anatomy of a bubbler
If you have recently started testing the waters of bongs, you must not be aware of the bubbler, and that is why you must get familiar with its anatomy. They are strategically constructed devices for individuals who want to make the best of their smoking experience.
The top part of it has a mouthpiece used for smoking. It is connected to a stem at a slightly curved angle to make smoking easier. There’s also a small bowl that holds the marijuana. The spherical part of it is a water chamber that contains water and gives the bubbler its aqueous quality.
When the user inhales through the mouthpiece by lighting the cannabis in the bowl, the smoke passes through the water giving the smoker a cool and filtered smoke. Some bubblers also have carb holes or shot holes that help control the air quantity and clear the smoke out of the bubbler.
How to use a bubbler?
Using them can be overwhelming for first-timers. Here are some simple steps to help you use it the right way.
The first step is to fill the water chamber with water. Make sure you do not overfill the chamber. Just fill it to the level where the neck or stem of the bubbler starts. Load the bowl with fresh, evenly ground herb. Please make sure you choose your favorite strain as it provides a pure smoking experience.
Place your mouth on the mouthpiece and keep it there when you light the cannabis in the bowl. If your bubbler has a carb hole, place a finger on it to cover it. Take a big hit of the smoke but do not inhale it. Let it fill up with smoke. Now remove your finger from the carb point and inhale all the smoke. The longer you hold the carb hole while taking a hit, the more intense the hit will be. So, if you have recently started using bongs, take it slow and take smaller hits.
Dump the water in the sink and clear the bubbler with some cleaning alcohol when you are done using the bubbler. You can also clean the bubbler after a few uses. Cleaning it regularly helps remove any burnt cannabis particles, grime, and stickiness from the glass.
Using bubble bongs for smoking is undoubtedly a heavenly experience. Make sure you choose the right bubbler and know how to use it to improve your smoking experience significantly.
