| My understanding was that THC is not water soluble...right? I've heard that a lot, and I've even read it in a few respectable sources. But then the study listed on this website, comparing the cannabinoid/tar ratio of joints/bongs/vaporizes, says that "This suggests that water filtration is actually counterproductive, apparently because water tends to absorb THC more readily than noxious tar" HUH?!?! Water absorbing THC? Really? So you lose THC when you use a waterpipe? THC is water soluble??Any help much appreciated | |

| Banned | thats the thing about bong, u can take bigger hits cuz they're cool and store more smoke, then there's the joint, it hits harder because it's straight thc and resinated weed near the mouth piece but then it sits there and burns and you can't take as big of hits. that's why when u get a bong, u want a BIG one. peace, happy tokin' |

| Member | i use a steam roller mostly...but i find that i get the highest off of water pipes...you can notice the amount of THC the water absorbs if you smoke a bowl slowly...but if you pack a decent sized bowl in a water pipe and take a huge rip...you can get much more water cooled smoke into your lungs... when i want to get realy baked i just take in a real slow fast burning hit off a water bong and its nothin on the lungs i would say use a pipe if you want to make the most of your THC...but if you wanna get realy Stoned use a water pipe for those monster hits... |

| Jr. Member | It's basically a pipe with a giant carb on one end. You just keep hitting it, and at the end of the hit (or intermittently during the hit) open the carb and let the air rush in. |

| New Member | Sounds like one of those little glass pieces, like the little ones you can buy on the street in Chinatown. Does the carb have to be hughe though? If it does, I guess it's a bit different, but if I get what you're sayin, i gotta agree with Leithreas... |

| New Member | Does bong water trap resin? YES! It is true that THC is in fact a non-polar solute, (ie. NOT SOLUBLE in water), this is the reason for which you can pass smoke through water without loosing a great deal of potency. So how does it happen? However, we must also note the boiling point of THC: ~ 185 degrees celcius if i remember correctly. Bongs are designed to cool the smoke to make it more paletable, as well as removing heavier waste. When the smoke passes through the water, it is both cooled, and pressurised by the water. This has the combined effect of causing some of the THC to liquidify. Gravity does it's job and the THC stays put (in the water). This is not a solution but a suspension. However it is also true that THC IS photosensitive, and thus after excessive expose to light it breaks down... thus your bongwater is more than likely useless. Even so, boiling the water involves smelling up your kitchen, and your resin will contain much of the ash and other **** you intended to remove via the water. |
