World’s biggest bong breaks in Tampa

The world’s largest glass water-pipe, or better known “bong”, was destroyed in Tampa, while it was mishandled during a public displaying at a local glass shop.To get more news about rotating gravity bong, you can visit sharebongs.com official website.

“We were just admiring the crystals and the chambers when all of a sudden we heard a loud crash and the bottom half of the bong was all in splinters, man,” says Gabe Shannahan, with his brother Bobby. “We wanted to check it out obviously, I mean that’s some major gnarly glassage my dude.” The two brothers high-five after chest-bumping then both pretend they’re holding up a tiny joint to their mouths as they take a fake toke.

“It was just an honor to see this thing,” Bobby says, looking up as he rifles through a 7-11 bag with a loose assortments of chips.The bong was standing on a pedestal in the center of Bong City a local paraphernalia shop in West Tampa. “We get lots of stuff like this come through, but this is the first time we’ve had an incident,” says Penny Washington, manager of Bong City.

He has a lighter attached to a zip-line on his waist, he pulls it and flicks it on in front of me. “Fire is the ultimate humbler!… We don’t support or encourage marijuana use, all of our products are intended for tobacco only, however, off the record,” he hits the stop button on my recorder, “I smoke weed.” He smiles smirky as if he’s gotten away with something. “I dabble in the devil’s cabbage, and it’s a shame we couldn’t rip out of that giant bong because I would’ve loved to ride that wave if you know what I mean.” His pants fall down, revealing no belt, and they’re much too big.

The bong was originally titled “Euphoria’s Masterpiece,” a name given to it by German engineer/glass-blower, Heeden Von Winkletwink. “It took me 6 sessions of 18 hours to blow that thing,” says Winkletwink. “I mostly do pieces for museums, you know modern art-deco style sculptures, real-deal stuff.” He points at a picture of him in front of the Mona Lisa. “But Euphoria… she was special to me… I never even got to let her rip.” Then he mimes the motion of smoking from a bong.

As for who’s responsible is still up for debate and it’s not sure who will be paying for the bong. The bong had an estimated appraisal of $750,000, featuring Swarovski crystals along the neck, and rare jewels sequenced around the mouth-hole.

Security footage from Bong City hasn’t been much help as it looks like the bong “kind of just falls down” says Bong City security liaison Michael Phillips. “I don’t know who touched it, but maybe it was a ghost! The ghost of weed!” He laughs as his keys jingle. “All I know is, I’m gettin’ high tonight!”

going to smoke weed in a bong

Marijuana is legal for limited medical use in Texas and entirely legal in many other states, meaning you can enjoy your high in a plethora of ways.To get more news about glow in the dark bong, you can visit sharebongs.com official website.

Of course, that's preferable to the days when you had to know a guy who knew a guy whose brother sold the cheapest and worst dirt weed that might even contain spider eggs (a true story). Today, you can enjoy your weed in beverages, chocolates, fruit gummies, candies and syrups — if you can name it, they have probably figured out a way to put pot in it.

But when it comes to smoking weed the old-fashioned way, discovering the right smoking accessories to invest in can become a journey. These days, there are an infinite number of devices to try, depending on how you want to enjoy that sticky goodness. Some gadgets are complicated rigs that promise to give you the cleanest puff of smoke on the market. (Well, the cleanest considering you're still inhaling smoke into your lungs.) Other implements are designed to be stupid as hell and might be crafted to look like Rick Sanchez from Rick & Morty.

For this review, I decided to focus on a couple of unusual bongs.

For those new to all this, a quick primer: To smoke from a bong, you put your mouth over the hole in the neck while lighting the weed you place in the small bowl at the bottom. Water contained inside cools the smoke, which makes for a smoother hit. You suck in the flame, igniting the weed and creating smoke that travels up the neck. After a second or two, you remove the bowl (or let your finger off the carb hole depending on the design), and the built-up smoke will travel up into your lungs.
The body of the Pineapple is made entirely of silicon, save for the bowl and a small magnetic part to hold the dab tool, which is basically a thin metal scooper. A secret compartment pops out of the bottom that doesn't appear to have a function other than maybe holding a small amount of your stash. It's effortless to fill with water, and I found it best to throw some ice cubes in there to make it feel like I was holding a tropical drink.

I enjoyed grasping this ridiculous thing in my hand when I lit it up. It looks so stupid in the best ways. (For maximum summer-party effect, throw on a crazy Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses and lay in a mini-pool in the sun!) Upon the first hit, I noticed that the bowl gets easily wedged in the base and is difficult to remove. However, with a simple design, I found it just as effective to smoke through it without removing the bowl for airflow.
The main base is modeled after one of those plastic bears you buy honey in. This bubbler is adorable as all get out, and with its gold-colored topper, it makes for a discreet piece of art to put on your shelf for when your parents come over. But, of course, they'll never notice that it's a drug accessory (I mean, unless they look at it closely). The Honey Bear comes in eight colors, though currently, half of those choices are sold out. We were lucky enough to pick up the turquoise, which is beautiful even without a glaze on the ceramic.

It's also worth checking out some of Candy Relics' other pieces like the Soda Can Pipe, harking back to your teenage days when you had to make do with what you had, be that a soda can or an apple.

We absolutely adore the Honey Bear in our home, both as a conversation piece with hip guests and for its functional reasons. The bong hits smooth, and I found that clearing out the smoke that gets pulled up into the neck is much easier when using the carb hole than other bongs that require the bowl to be removed. The only downside comes from the hands of the user. Make sure to always keep the bong upright because it is far too easy to tip the water out of the hole or to thoroughly soak your weed. I have definitely never gotten too stoned and tipped it over multiple times.

24-foot bong in Las Vegas celebrates cannabis culture

There are two flights of stairs curling around the head-turning glass bong, all 24 feet of it. There also will be an elevator to ferry people from the ground floor — where the pipe’s 100-gallon reservoir sits — to the mouthpiece high above.To get more news about cheap bong under 50, you can visit sharebongs.com official website.

It weighs more than 800 pounds and the bowl can pack a quarter of a pound of marijuana. It has elements in the glass that will make it glow — greenish mostly — while bathing in black light. Jason Harris, the artist who made it, said it’s his artistic opus to the cannabis culture.
It’s a sensory tsunami on Fremont, filled with street musicians playing “Stairway to Heaven” on electronic violins or steel drummers hammering out hits from the ’80s. There are screams from people shooting down a zip line above the street. Tribute bands blast metal music, and boozy packs of tourists point at half-naked men and women trying to lure them into posing for a picture.
And size matters, too.
Vegas Vic — the iconic neon cowboy — towers above a souvenir shop and stands 40 feet tall. There’s a giant pint of Guinness atop Hennessey’s that is 80 feet tall. Slotzilla, a slot machine perched in the middle of Fremont Street, reaches a height of 120 feet.“Las Vegas will be the new Amsterdam of the world,” he said. “I see it as a big lighthouse and beacon that says, ‘Just smoke me.’”
Most bongs are variations on the same structure; a central, water-filled chamber and a tube extending from near the bottom—below the water level—that ends in a pipe bowl. The mouthpiece, or downstem, is at or near the top of the chamber. Bongs can be straight-tube, round-based, or beaker-shaped, depending on the shape and size of the central chamber. Most are actually flat-bottomed, even the round-based bongs. The difference is how much the bottom flares out. There more flare, the less likely your bong is to tip over.

Some smaller bongs look more like a traditional pipe in shape, with the water reservoir in a swollen area between the bowl and the mouthpiece, but they work on the same basic principle.

Regardless of shape, the bigger a bong is, the more smoke is needed to fill it. Users with really big lungs, or who like to share with friends, like big bongs, but for others, the larger size tends to waste herb.

Big Bong Will Help Save a Town

They are a collection of oversized, sometimes bizarre, objects that draw roadtrippers to country towns, known as Australia’s “Big Things” — the Big Banana, the Big Pineapple, the Big Lobster, to name a few.To get more news about klein recycler bong, you can visit sharebongs.com official website.

Now, a resident of the New South Wales town of Woodenbong wants to add another: a big wooden bong.

“Hundreds and thousands of people share the same dream as soon as they hear the town’s name,” the resident, Paul Pearson, said on Tuesday, a day before he planned to pitch the idea at a meeting of a local tourism council.

He’s not sure how tall he wants the potential landmark to be, but he envisions it being “bigger than the ‘Big Merino,’” a 50-foot concrete merino ram located elsewhere in the state.

Others in Woodenbong, population 381, aren’t exactly thrilled by the concept.

“I haven’t spoken to one person that thinks it’s a good idea,” said Chris Reid, the president of the Progress Association, an influential local group that raises money for town projects. “We don’t want to promote drug use.”The town had been brainstorming ways to encourage tourism, but “the giant wooden bong wasn’t on the list,” she said, noting that the topic had been the subject of office ridicule after the Australian Broadcasting Corporation aired an interview with Mr. Pearson on the subject last week.

Mr. Pearson, an artist who moved to the town about six years ago, said he had been making bong art his entire life. But it was only in December that he started making wooden bongs — the largest of which is seven feet tall and still under construction.

“I want to inlay gemstones into all the caps and cracks,” he said of the project.

Mr. Pearson said a giant landmark bong could include an information center and history museum that would draw tourists to this small town — a prospect that he described as “trillions of dollars staring us in the face, because the marketing and products ideas are endless.”

But he has another reason, too: Others in the town have threatened him because he is different from them, he said, and “the bong thing is my way of retaliating.”He isn’t the first to propose the idea of a big bong for the town. A similar suggestion was floated a few years ago, said Danielle Mulholland, the mayor of Kyogle Council, which includes Woodenbong. But it was not warmly received.

It’s quite a conservative community,” she said, adding that the local population consists mainly of farmers who “wouldn’t be too impressed” with an icon linked to drug use.

“I think he needs to get the community behind him to progress with it,” the mayor suggested of Mr. Pearson, adding that any pitch would need to include an economic analysis of benefits and tourism numbers.

Top 5 reasons bongs aren't cool

Something we regularly encounter at NCPIC is weed users letting us know often not so politely that in their view there are no harmful side effects of cannabis use, and that smoking a bong in particular, is a much safer and better way of using marijuana.To get more news about big bongs for sale, you can visit sharebongs.com official website.

In case you need convincing here at NCPIC we ve come up with a list of the top 5 reasons why smoking a bong isn t cool! Yes, we know bongs do make the smoke cooler

1. Cool smoke is not better for you!
Cooler smoke might slide down easier than a blast of the hot stuff but that very fact means you can gulp down a whole lungful, exposing yourself to all the risks associated with smoking. Bongs make it easy to inhale more smoke and hold it in for longer. This increases the damage to your lungs, putting you at risk of respiratory diseases such as asthma, emphysema, and even cancer not to mention a hacking cough and more chance of picking up every chest bug in town.

2. Bongs and smokers cough
As mentioned above, bongs allow more smoke to be held in your lungs for longer meaning the likelihood of you developing a very attractive smoker s cough is increased. In case you can t see the downside to a phlegmy, mucusy, hacking cough, it isn t much fun it s tiring, wrecks sleep, is annoying for you and others to listen to and can even lead to weakened pelvic floor muscles (for men too!) causing incontinence issues. Not much cool about that.

3. Bongs are covered in bugs
It might seem like no big deal to pass around the bong with your mates, but would you share your toothbrush or give your mates a lick of your ice-cream too? Bongs can be absolutely covered in germs bacteria, viruses and other microbes found in your saliva. Fancy catching a cold-sore, or the flu? In 2011, there were even media reports of tuberculosis (TB) going around bong-sharing circles.

4. Plastic bongs can release harmful chemicals
Ever been warned not to reuse disposable plastic water bottles, particularly after they have been left to heat up in the car? That s because harmful chemicals can be released into the water as the plastic heats. The same advice goes for not microwaving your leftovers in those cheap plastic takeaway containers. Many bongs are made from old plastic drink bottles or other plastic containers and users can be exposed to these same chemicals as the plastic heats up from burning marijuana and smoke travelling through it.

5. Smoking a bong is not safer than a joint!
Despite many users believing that bongs are a safer way to inhale marijuana smoke, research has shown that bong smoke is just as damaging as smoke from a joint or cigarette. Bongs can cause wheezing, chest tightness and coughing not to mention more serious respiratory diseases as mentioned earlier. It is also not an efficient way to take in THC as the water also removes the desired component of the smoke which means you are exposed to more smoke for a given dose of THC.

Lets face it if those reasons aren’t enough to make you think twice about smoking a bong, or any other smoking implement, just picture yourself with lips glued to a slobbery bong, breath stinking of pot, and then puckering up to your boyfriend or girlfriend for a kiss. You owe it to them at least to keep your smackers fresh and your mind focussed on them don t you?
