The amount of people vaping dry herb cannabis has seen a steady increase as legalization continues to spread around the world.

Two popular methods of consumption include using a traditional water pipe, commonly known as a bong, and a vaporizer, often referred to as a vape.

Although vaping through a dry herb vaporizer is a safer way to consume cannabis than smoking, Breathing in dry, hot air irritates the throat and lungs. On ther other hand, The bong can cool and filter the hot smoke.

Thus, Using a dry herb vaporizer in combination with a bong allows for cooler, smoother, and larger hits, all without the potential for aggravation or irritation.

Is it possible to do that? If you are confused about how a dry herb vape works with a bong, Then you come to the right place.

In this article, we will take a look at combining a vaporizer with your bong and introduct what bongs hits the best with a dry herb vaporizer.

What are Bongs?

The bong is a water pipe used for smoking dry herbs. Bongs usually have at least 3 main parts – bowl, water chamber, and mouthpiece.

If you prefer the smoothest rips around, then a percolator bong or recycler would be a great option.

Bongs are often made from glass, but they can also be crafted from acrylic, silicone, metal, ceramic and other materials as well.

All you have to do is pack the bowl with dry flower, light it, inhale to pull the smoke into the water chamber, exhale and pull the slide, then inhale the hit.

As the smoke passes through the water, it reduces the toxins and tiny particles. Also, The water can filter and cool smoke that comes from burning marijuana flower that allows for a smoother hit that won’t burn your throat and lungs.

What are dry herb vaporizers?

Dry herb vaporizers are devices designed to heat herbs just below combustion, releasing their active compounds without producing smoke.

The inhalation of dry herbs through vaporization poses fewer health risks compared to traditional smoking methods. Because the bud is not heated to the point of combustion, most carcinogens are not released.

There are many types of dry herb vaporizers where you can choose the heating method, size, and temperature.

The handheld Vaporizers are small and can fit in your pocket or purse. You can easily take a quick hit without anyone noticing.

On ther other hand, A desktop vape is usually large and bulky, which prevents you from traveling with it.

What is a vape-bong adapter / attachment?

The Attachment is a flexible silicone water pipe adapter that will fit just about any mouthpiece stem to connect it to your favorite glass bong or bubbler.

This adapter splits apart into two separate pieces. The larger piece contains cuts for more specific mouthpiece stems, while the smaller piece has a gradual taper for narrower mouthpieces.

This gives you more flexibility. It’s easier to maneuver and use the bong this way without it tipping over and spilling everywhere.

Keep in mind that vapes have mouthpieces of different shapes and sizes. So their adapters are specific to the vaping device.

In some cases, these will be included as accessories. In others, they will need to be purchased separately. There’s no ‘one size fits all’ solution.

Don't Worry! Adapters can easily be purchased online. The most common adapter sizes are 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm.

Just make sure it's same with the size of your dry herb vaporizer's mouthpiece and bong's joint.

Lastly, Keep in mind that you’ll need to clean this tube regularly to get the sticky resin out, ensuring the pure taste.

What bongs hits the best with a dry herb vaporizer?

Almost any bong or bubbler can be adapted and used with an herb vaporizer, provided you have the right rubber or silicone adapter.

The majority of bongs will fall under three different joint sizes: 10MM, 14MM, or 18MM.

Most herb vaporizers use a 14mm WPA (water pipe adapter) so thus we most often recommend a bong that has a 14mm joint. Adapters can of course be found to reduce/increase the size of the joint.

While you can really use any bong or bubbler with an herb vape, we say go for less percolation/water! The more percolation, the less taste you’ll get!

While cannabinoids aren’t water-soluble, terpenes tend to get trapped much easier, losing some of that nice flavor in the process.

You can even go without water, or just with ice to cool it because filtration does so little with vape besides mute some flavor. The longer, cooler air path is the primary utility of glass with a vape.

Bigger bongs also tend to have more resin stick to the sides via condensation, so we’d recommend a bong that’s not too big and doesn’t filter too much! Elsewise you’ll lose potency and flavor too much.

Besides, you don’t need much water to make vapor incredibly smooth anyways! Just make sure you clean your bong every couple of weeks and change the water every day.

If you can't do that, you probably don't need a bong. Good smoking habits are the only more important part of your bong setup.

How to use a dry herb Vaporizer with a Bong?

To use a dry herb Vaporizer with a Bong, you need a bong, a vaporizer and a compatible vape-bong adapter in hand.

Firstly, filling your vaporizer with your chosen herb. Once filled, attach your adapter to your vaporizer.

Secondly, by removing the bowl from the bong, you can slot the vaporizer (with adapter) into place. The fit should be tight so no vapor can escape.

Thirdly, it's just a case of turning on (or heating) your vaporizer. After a short time, take a pull from the bong's mouthpiece to see the chamber fill with cool vapor.

And there you have it! That's all there is to combining a vaporizer with a bong.
