The bong was invented several thousand years ago in the middle east for smoking tobacco.

How are percolators made and are attached to the bongs?Internal percolators, filters inside of the bong, it is generally made up of same glass pieces as of the bong, this is the part where glassblowers specifically show their talent, creating an intriguing internal structure for the smoke to filter and cool through. These percolators are put inside the body and/or neck and then the glass is welded to it using a torch. Any extra glass is pulled off in order to ensure that the product is smooth and even once it’s all put together.The neck is then reattached to the base if necessary by using a spinning machine (known as a lathe) that keeps the glass pieces steady and even as they are heated and joined. In order to make the bottom of the bong flat, some glassblowers use a lapping wheel, which rotates a water-lubricated abrasive wheel (often coated with diamonds) that flattens the glass.After everything is done the neck is attached and the glass piece is put into an annealer, which helps to remove the heat stress put on the glass during the blowing process if this isn't done bongs are more likely to break under pressure even in the smallest of change in climate, which obviously no one would want.Now since you know so much about bongs, you also definitely know a place where to Buy bongs online from?

What are screen pipes? Pipe screen is made up of brass or silver which are generally used as an ash catcher for your smoke sessions, generally these screen pipes are for one time use only or mostly two as the as generally these smoking screens cannot withstand too much of heat and they eventually get burned from the center and if they don’t get burned you can be pretty sure that it will catch Tar as there are small holes in the screen whose sole purpose is to protect your glass pipes from ash! Pipe screen would also prevent your glass piece/glass pipe from the remains of tar. What are the uses of screen pipes? You are having a good smoke session and suddenly everything spoils down! Why? Because there is a mouthful amount of burnt ash landing on your mouth, which makes your entire smoke session a bad experience! You don’t want that do you? This is where the screen pipes come into the play Screen pipes will protect your smoke session as this is what screen pipes are made for, You have to tuck those screen pipes into the empty bowls so that the screen pipe gets conforms to the shape of the glass piece/glass pipes, It will protect your mouth from the unwanted ash and will also protect your glass piece from getting blocked with the tar, that will protect your pipe in the longer run and screen pipes are very affordable and easy to use, so it is generally beneficial to buy a pack of 10, 20, 40 or 50 (Since the screen pipes are cheaper anyway) Different types of screen Pipes? There are the various different type of screen pipes available in the market, some people also try to make their own screen pipes by poking holes into foil paper using a toothpick and we are pretty sure that is not the smart way to use it as you are also smoking the heated aluminum of the foil paper!Which makes it quite stupid and dangerous to use at the same time. In general, There are a different type of screen pipes available in the market like 1 – The Detachable one – These smoking pipes come of 10mm and 15mm they are detachable and quite cheap which makes it suitable for Your Bong or Glass pipe as a couple of bucks are saving hundreds and thousands of bucks from your pocket which you spent on your expensive Glass pieces and glass pipes 2- The Fixed one - Some smoking pipes also comes with the fixed smoking screen you can’t dispose of them that easily buy it can be detached and another screen can be fitted in the pipe makes it convenient to use as you don’t have to change the screen every now and then. 3- Built-in in the shooter/downstem- There are also various shooters and downstem available which comes in with the built-in screen which makes it amazing and perfect to use, but it is hard to find that kind of thing in the Indian Bong market.

Joints Vs Bongs!
The Biggest Debate in the Indian Hippie community is always of which is better Joint Or Bong! Joint is made with the help Of Rolling Paper and Tips or roaches whatever you want to call them, whereas on the Other Hand Bongs are made of Glass and the Dry Herb is smoked using a thing called Downstem which is one of the various accessories which are used in Bongs. We at OutonTrip would love to settle down this debate once and for all by the detailed breakdown of Joints and bongs, So let’s get started1– Joints-

Then, we have king size slim which is definitely one of the most preferred sizes in whole of the world and the thing which makes king size different from king size slim is the thinness of the rolling paper king size paper is thicker compared to king size slim and last but definitely not the least is Super *wait for it* fuckin* Natural paper which is of 12 Inches, and is also Mia Khalifa’s Favorite size *Winks*(D) – How is A joint different than the bong?So, Joints are on a whole different ball game than the bong, so one of the major specification in a joint is of the heat of the smoke which is because of the dry herb that you are burning, that makes a joint RIP bit harsher and very hot for the person which is not the case with the bong as it contains water which is there specifically to cool down the smoke and the other major difference is of the amount of the herb that you want to smoke you can decide the amount of the herb that you want is your joint because of the different sizes of the paper you have which is not the case with Bongs. 2– Bongs-Bongs are one of the most favorite glass pieces of every other hippie who loves a chill, relaxed, smooth and overall a much higher Experience when it comes to smoking!

Rolling Papers V/s Bongs!
Rolling Paper or Bongs, this is the most heavily debated thing amongst the smoker community! So here, we will be digging deeper to find out more about which is better Rolling papers or Bongs?
Bongs –
Let’s admit it, when we get into the groove of smoking we all think of a better way to increase the experience of the Herb. Now, Bongs plays a very important role here as A Bong Rip is definitely much better than that of joint, basically the smoke in bong passes through the water before you hit it which makes it go easy on your lungs and gets you a bigger hit. But bongs can be difficult to handle especially for beginners as too much smoke needs to be inhaled in one go.Bongs are also difficult to move and are very less flexible compared to rolling papers until and unless it's a mini pocket bong which is also difficult to hide. So where discretion is required the bongs don’t go in handy. But if you are home alone and your bae is out of town and you need someone to have a perfect time to chill and relax Bongs will never disappoint you!You take a hit, You grab some munchies, You make love with it, Bong will do anything to make your night perfect! *Winks*
Rolling papers –
The Plain old paper is still everyone’s favorite when it comes to smoking herb. Rolling paper has evolved a lot in these past year from natural hemp papers to flavored rolling papers. But one thing that didn’t change is everybody’s love for rolling paper. The smoking experience in the rolling paper is a matter of personal preference joints are bit harsher than Bongs when it comes to smoke.But joints are easy to carry and easy to try out for beginners. The ones who are new to smoking can’t even go for a bong rip as it is too deep and intense compared to Rolling papers.Rolling papers gives you the power to use it in any way possible and anywhere possible. You can use Rolling papers to roll a cross joint, a breaded joint or anything like that. Also, rolling papers are easy to carry and hide as compared to bongs
The health part –
Bongs are the favorites when it comes to what is healthy for you as there is a belief that the water filters out the bad and only good are left in it.Well, Not exactly. A study by MAPS and California NORML shows that the bongs filter out more THC than the Tar in it that makes us smoke more to acquire the same level of high as of a joint.But, There is also a chance that the water might filter out harmful gasses like carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide which both naturally occurs in the smoke. So there’s no clear-cut winner on which is better. In the end. It doesn’t even matter (I am a big Linkin Park fan) It all boils down to personal preference I Say.
