Flower Consumption Methods

Bongs and Water Pipes

Bongs (or water pipes) filter smoke through water for smoother hits, cooling hot vapor and trapping tar for cleaner lungs.​

Pros

  • Massive hits with less harshness due to diffusion and cooling.
  • Customizable with percolators, ice catches, and ash catchers for refined filtration.
  • Efficient

Cons

  • Bulky and fragile; not discreet or portable.
  • Water needs changing to avoid bacteria and residue buildup.
  • Cleaning with ISO & salt regularly too
  • Over-filtration can dilute flavor and potency slightly.

Best for: Home lounging or social circles. Our go-to brand has always been Thickassglass for consumers—they craft durable, thick borosilicate pieces with flawless percolation.​

Joints

Joints are hand-rolled flower cigarettes, portable and ritualistic, often shared communally.​

Pros

  • Ultimate portability, no gear needed beyond papers and lighter.
  • Slow-burn allows savoring terpenes and effects over time.
  • Customizable with filters, mixes, or sizes for any vibe.

Cons

  • Uneven burn leads to waste, runs, or relights.
  • Fingers get sticky; papers can taste if low-quality.
  • Less efficient: much smoke escapes uninhaled.

Best for: On-the-go or casual hangs. We prefer Element papers for little to no aftertaste or residue, ensuring an even burn every time.​

Pipes and Bowls

Hand pipes (spoon pipes or chillums) offer simple, one-hitter portability for quick sessions.​

Pros

  • Compact, no water or prep—just pack and light.
  • Affordable and low-maintenance; easy to clean with ISO.
  • Discrete hits without lingering smoke smell.

Cons

  • Hot, harsh hits without filtration.
  • Small bowls mean frequent repacks.
  • Resin buildup fast if not maintained.

Best for: Solo, stealthy use or travel.

Dab Consumption Methods

Rigs (Traditional)

Rigs use a nail or banger heated with a torch, then dabbed with concentrates for massive flavor hits.​

Pros

  • Purest terpene expression and potency.
  • Customizable quartz nails, slurpers, e-nails, or dishes for precision.
  • Immersive ritual for concentrate enthusiasts.

Cons

  • High learning curve with torch safety and temp control.
  • Messy setup; requires butane torch, carb cap and many cutips.
  • Overheating destroys terps, needs practice.

Best for: Home connoisseurs chasing max potency.

E-Rigs (Electronic)

Battery-powered rigs like Puffco Peak or Carta heat nails automatically, simplifying dabs.​

Pros

  • Precise temp control (500–800°F) preserves terpenes.
  • Portable, spill-proof, and no open flame.
  • Fast heat-up (seconds) with app integration on some.

Cons

  • Expensive upfront ($200+).
  • Battery life limits long sessions.
  • Less “raw” feel than torch rigs.
  • Clogs easy if you are a heavy consumer!
  • Also may not deliver that same effect as a nice dab on a slurper!

Best for: Beginners or mobile users wanting consistency.
