Acryl bong smoke plume

Deze grote acryl fluor bong beschikt over een aparte kamer om de rook te koelen.

Vul de onderste kamer met water, vul de kop met kruid en kijk hoe de rook omhoog kruipt in de waterpijp.

Het schoonmaken is eenvoudig, alle onderdelen kunnen uit elkaar gehaald worden.

Diameter: 5 cm
Hoogte: 47 cm

“I wish Azarius had answered my email concerning certain features before I purchased it. Lucky my impression of the bong was accurate.

So, on to review a great bong. I find it weird that it is labelled as a "smoke plume bong". Using this bong for it's ability to please the sight would be a waste of multi-chamber potential.

(in the end I wrote a special segment for salvia users)

First of all, a structural breakdown:

-1 base piece
-1 base sealant piece
-3 tube pieces with valves attached (one of them is the bottom piece)
-1 steel slider

The valves are attached to the top of the bottom and of the middle piece. They cannot be removed from those placements.
Each valve consists of an acrylic disc, with a small hole in the middle. That hole leads to a nub-shaped tip that contains a small metal sphere. This metal spheres makes the valves somewhat similar to return valves, that is, you can't get air to go in the wrong direction. On top of the nub there are 4 small holes that allow the smoke to proceed to the next chamber.

The valves have two sealant rings around them that allow for the bong to be assembled with a tight fit between segments. The final result is structurally stable and can be held without fear of disassembly. If one wishes for a smaller bong, the middle segment may be left out.

For cleaning purposes, considering the size of the bong, the fact that it can be taken apart makes things much easier. This also enables the bong to be stored in a very small compartment (about 2/3 of a cereal box in terms of volume (375g Kellog's cereal boxes are the reference).

The main advantage of this bong is that, if you use it right, you will end up with 1 water chamber and 2 ice chambers (could be more complex, this is just a base setting).

One could simply fill the bottom piece with water, then get some ice-cubes in the middle piece, and fill the top compartment with more ice.

I have found that, if one wishes to add more water chambers, one may need to mix ice on the 2 top segments. The cold will keep the water from dripping down into the bottom piece (may not be necessary, I modded my bong, so you may not need to).

Also, by acquiring a glass slider, the "harsh" smoke caused by the metal bowl will no longer be an issue.

So, to sum up the advantages:

-multichamber set-up
-easy to clean
-easy to store
-slider can be changed
-no risk of losing herb due to coughing, etc.

The only disadvantage (doesn't bother me) is the lack of a "carburator", that little hole to let in fresh air when you wish to use the accumulated smoke. But seeing as this is an acrylic bong, drilling one shouldn't be a big challenge (mod at your own risk).

SALVIA USERS

Now, everything that I wrote above still applies, but as you should know, the dynamics of smoking salvia are quite different. The idea is to get as much smoke in as fast as bearable and holding it in for about 30 secs. For those who have never tried it, be warned, salvia smoke is very hot (a torch lighter is essential, don't waste herb using bic lighters, just order one with the salvia, they're not expensive) and it tastes very bitter unless you filter it through enough water.

So, there are 3 main concerns: heat, taste and airflow speed.

To address airflow speed, I made the "4 holes on top of the bud structure" a bit wider using a battery drill on slow setting, and a very thin wood drill (the ones with a sharp pointy edge). I just about tripled airflow speed with this simple mod. Be careful not to damage the valve structure, you need it!
(be aware that modding a bong voids warranty, use this advice at your own risk)

After the airflow is dealt with, you are ready to use the bong. Just make sure to use water+ice on all the chambers. This will make the smoke very "soft" and fresh, and will take the worst of the taste away. Also, cold water means you are not losing the main substance in the filtering process. Salvinorin A is not very soluble in water, and even less when the water is cold.

Be careful if you notice water dripping down from a valve, that could lead to water coming out from the bowl.

Ask your sitter to handle the bong after the hit, otherwise you may accidentally touch the slider, and the metal will be very very hot.

Using a bong is the most effective, most lung-friendly method of smoking Salvia.”
