Bong v Everything Else

 While I haven't tried every means of Cannabis consumption I've tried most of the major ways. I have the equipment and knowledge to extract THC for tinctures or infusions, and then to reduce to FECO. The various stages can be used for under tongue infusions, eatables, Carts, Vapes, Dabs and so on.  Vaping flower from the big Volcano to small single hit devices is another way to consume and do not forget joints.

Of all the ways my favorite is a bong. It is miserly with your weed, cools the smoke a little, and because it is direct smoke the hit is almost immediately making it easy to titrate your dose. Vaping is almost as fast but vaping flower is very wasteful, 30% to 60% of the flower THC is left behind. "Already been vaped" flower can be reused but the product is second rate.

Next to a bong Carts are a close second and have the advantage of being small and discrete. Biggest downsides are they are a PITA to make and you do not know the effects of the carrier oils and distillates in commercial carts.

MsBubba likes Carts and infusions. I prefer under the tongue infusions and tinctures to eatables simply because eatables take so long to hit, can last too long and are hard to titrate. You are either questioning is it working, do I need another hit, or doing the zombie walk for four or five hours. 

One last method is pressing Rosin for dabbing or vaping which I love but it is wasteful and a PITA (easy to have "blowouts") and requires working fresh weed , a lot of work for very little product. 

Last to address are joints, love 'em. It is where most of us started and is the most social of all the methods with maybe the Volcano a close second. Rolling papers are cheap and can give your old fingers a workout, the smoke is good but unless you are with a circle of friends you end up wasting a lot of flower. 

Your mileage may vary,
