  • Know Your Bong Holes: Carburetors and How to Use Them
    A bong carburetor is a device that controls the flow of air and smoke in a bong. It is a small hole, typically located on the side of the bong, that can be covered or uncovered with a finger or thumb. The concept behind this is known as Bernoulli's principle, which states that as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure within that fluid decreases. In the case of a bong, when the carburetor is uncovered, air is able to flow into the bong at a higher velocity, which causes the pressure within the bong to decrease.
  • Joints vs Blunts vs Spliffs
