A gravity bong glass (GB/ grav bong/ bucket bong/ gib/ street bong) is a cannabis smoking device. However, the name is intended to highlight the specialty of the device instead of only giving it a nice word. It uses the force of gravity to create a vacuum that pulls the produced smoke into its base.
The pressure created between the empty water bottle and the bucket or cup of the bong traps the smoke beneath the opening, unlike standard bongs where the bowl or socket is lit, while the bottle is slowly pulled out of the water to make a smoke chamber that quickly fills with cannabis smoke.
When ready, the consumer removes the cap and places their mouth on the bottle opening, breathing in to pull smoke into the lungs.
Likewise, a waterfall bong (another type of gravity bong) works the same way but with one difference. It has a small hole drilled into the smaller bottle. So, instead of trapping the water, water flows and drains quickly.
A Gravity Bong is More Effective
Many seek the answer to one question - can gravity bongs get them higher? The short answer is yes. A gravity bong glass forces a massive amount of concentrated smoke into the lungs in one go, unlike a handheld pipe or joint. So, the user inhales the entire content of the smoke chamber or water bottle at once. Hence, it is not a device meant for newcomers with low tolerance.
The Benefits of Gravity Bongs
The biggest benefit of gravity bongs is their ability to make a smoker very high. Those with a high tolerance level will enjoy this advantage.
The second benefit is the efficiency they offer. Smokers looking for an easy and quick way to reach euphoria need not seek another option. Instead of taking multiple drags, users get the entire bowl in one big draw, resulting in a quick, intense high.
The high gravity bongs create is powerful. Anybody who regularly smokes cannabis will find this a welcome change and a quick way to rejuvenate themselves.
Another major benefit is that people can DIY gravity bongs. They may not be able to DIY a gravity-bong glass, but plastic creations are barely challenging. Empty soda bottles and tin foil are just what they may need to make one of these at home.
