What is a Water Pipe & How Do You Use It?
A water pipe is commonly known as a bong. The word ‘bong’ came from the Thai word “baung” which is a bamboo tube for smoking weed. It is a marijuana pipe that uses water to cool and filter the smoke before you inhale it and produces a specially clean-tasting, healthier smoking experience for the user.
It is pretty straightforward. The smoke is pulled through a water chamber and while the smoke bubbles up through the liquid, it will cool down the smoke’s temperature and filter the tar and ash at the same time.
This water filtration is efficient in keeping away the toxic substances in the smoke.
Some bongs are just straight in design while others are modified with gravity chambers, wide bases, or necks. Water pipes come in different sizes and shapes. Most of them look like beakers and some have a quirky design too.
This smoking apparatus is also a great display in your home aside from its ability to provide a flair to your stoning experience. You can enjoy smooth and filtered dabs by yourself or with your friends.
Bongs or water pipes are a staple of the culture of cannabis. If this is your first time using a bong, then this step-by-step guide is for you.
It is time for the main event, but before you do anything else, you have to prepare your bong and make sure it is ready to go. Place the bong on an even surface to avoid it being rocked or flipped over during the process.
Make sure that there are no flammable objects nearby just to be extra cautious. Even better, place it near an open window.
A pack of marijuana, dry herbs, or tobacco blend.
Next, fill the water chamber.
Remove the downstem to get access to the chamber and pour some clean water onto it. Use cold water if you want a more refreshing taste. Just put enough water in the chamber because the more water there is, the harder it is to pull the smoke when you inhale.
Add ice to the stem (optional).
If you prefer the cold water or add ice to the stem, you can do either. Just place the ice in the stem section if your bong has an ice catcher. Do it carefully to avoid breaking the glass. If your bong does not have an ice catcher, you can still add ice to the chamber. Ice can help provide a smoother experience.
Place the bowl into the water pipe.
Put the filled bowl in place. Do it carefully.
You should be able to grasp the apparatus firmly with your non-dominant hand. You can also hold it from the bottom but make sure you are comfortable.

Seal any openings by putting your lips inside the mouthpiece. Do not wrap your lips outside the mouthpiece and always clean it afterward before passing it on to someone else for proper courtesy if you are using it with friends.
Light the herbs.
Before you ignite the herbs, we suggest that you take a couple of deep breaths to fill your lungs with oxygen. This will make smoking feel so much smoother.
Tilt the lighter horizontally and light it at the edge of the bowl. Don’t light it too close to the bowl so that your cannabis or herbs won’t burn too fast. It is better to use a hemp wick instead of a regular lighter to make your weed last longer.
Slowly inhale the smoke while holding the lighter.
Inhale gradually as you continue to ignite the herbs. The smoke will not come out in a snap after you light it up. You have to slowly inhale to fill the chamber with smoke. Do not overwhelm yourself though.
Put away the flame when you notice the herbs start to glow and the bowl is already filled with smoke. Remove the hemp wick or the lighter when it happens, however, you should not move your mouth away from the mouthpiece or it will dissipate.
Inhale and let it linger in your lungs for a couple of seconds. Exhale, then repeat if there is smoke left.
Cooooooool. I've only ever made butter accidentally when I forget the whipping cream in the mixer. If you do it on purpose and use it - that's cooooooooool.
Ummm...yeah, it is cool...I've made butter before (many moons ago) and it is a tedious process! Can't believe you did it sitting on the couch, shaking a Mason jar!
Yeah, the last time I made butter was actually in the ice cream maker, when I had a bit too much cream and a bit too little cold going on apparently.
It still mostly resembled ice cream, but with this waxy residue. Not nearly as good as you'd imagine.
Actually, rather nasty. A waste of good ice cream and potential butter.
At a local grange fair, one of the annual events has been a "butter dance" for the small children. Each is given a baby food jar with cream in it, then the music starts... and the first "dancer" to make butter wins! I still think it's cool -- right up there with the skillet toss at one of the other area festivals!
Smart. I keep meaning to try that. Good to know you can do it with a jar and just shake.Many will recall the very first Ball/Bennett Budget. Their ham-fisted approach to fiscal repair exhibited terrible judgment. A groundswell of public opposition caused them to wilt from making any later decisions, enlarging our fiscal problems in the process.
The ability to make skillful political “judgment” is an important reference. It may well be the greatest “gift” a leader can bring to the Office — apart from fundamental decency and ethical principles. Strength of character, experience and “grounded-ness” will allow a Premier to their keep their head when, to quote Rudyard Kipling “all about them are losing theirs”.
No one questions either the ethics or the good intentions of the two leadership hopefuls. As to those other characteristics — who knows? Both Furey and Abbott are new to the public glare of the hustings; neither has experienced the cut and thrust of a ‘lively’ House of Assembly or the political world of insatiable interest groups, public scrutiny, and personal criticism.
The roles of long-time Deputy Minister and of surgeon/NGO lead, confirm that they are people of intelligence, administrative skill and initiative. Those attributes are important, but they still do not confirm suitability for the job up for grabs. Abbott and Furey have lived politics only vicariously. However close in proximity Deputy Ministers may be to the political process, they might as well be miles away.
In short, voters are largely assessing two unknowns.
Furey brings the advantage of at least the perception of deep roots in the Liberal Party, his Senator-father a long-time backroom player. Even more important is being thought of as a “winner”. Neither candidate needs to make that claim; partisans have a nose for such things. But to the earlier point: where are John Abbott’s roots in the Liberal Party? Is he a partisan or an outlier?
A politically neutral senior public servant for much of his career, Abbott is not a known quantity within the Party, any more than he is among the general population. Missing from his contact list are even Liberal MHAs; only one thought it was worthwhile to attend his leadership launch and even he (Haggie) has declared for Furey.
How can we not ask: on what basis does a newbie to politics become a pretender to the Liberal throne? Furey could be asked the same question except that possibly unanimous Caucus support is not a bad start for any Candidate. More modest people, however, might have first tested their electability.
The issue begs a second question: how does Abbott think he can bring unity to a Liberal Party Caucus in denial of the province’s fiscal woes? This is a group that, for five years, has adamantly opposed the need for the fiscal sanity that permeates his campaign themes.
Worryingly, Abbott exhibits a certain naivete, possibly because he says more than his competitor and is, therefore, more exposed. Right-sizing government, doing away with Nalcor, re-thinking how we deliver healthcare, all make good sense. He promises to engage the Opposition on major issues. A June 20 Tweet reads: “If giving you a Cabinet seat is what it takes I’m open to it.” Coalition Government just months, at most a year, in advance of a General Election? That is when they will be motivated only to undermine him; the job of Premier is what they want most.
It may be a small point, but shouldn’t his decision to follow Furey’s $25-per-day Child Care Program have been followed by some notion of how it would be paid for? The coffers cannot be empty and have spare change — at the same time.
More critically, Abbott proposes that he will deal with the Muskrat Falls debacle by extracting a commitment of 13.5 cent per kWh from the Feds under the threat of not
