^^Hey look someones in TKE. When I went to college the TKE's there were a bunch of potheads too. They were like the only people we knew with a vaporizer.

A bong will always get you higher then a joint if you smoke an equal amount. Your stuffing alot more smoke into your lungs at once with a bong, rather then the smaller hits your able to puff off a joint.
but nothing beat good big fat joint...I prefer joints much more...

I read, years ago, that between a joint and a bong, joints actually deliver more THC. Makes perfect sense if you think about it....with a bong you are filtering part of the THC out of the smoke with the water.....also take into consideration the joint has more and more THC per puff as you smoke it...(resin). I believe a false sense of high, from lack of oxygen in reality, gives some people the false impression that they are higher with a bong over a joint.....who knows....

I found this on the net...take it for what its worth.....
4.2.9 Recent harm reduction research in America has thrown doubt on the traditional beliefs concerning the health risks associated with the various forms of inhalation. Seven devices (a filtered joint, an unfiltered joint, a portable water pipe, a traditional bong, a battery operated water pipe, a vaporiser and a hybrid water pipe/vaporiser) were tested, and the amounts of cannabinoids and solid particulates delivered to the user were measured and compared. In all cases the devices used neat marijuana supplied by NIDA with a potency of 2.3% THC.
4.2.10 The researchers were surprised to discover that the water pipes were consistently outperformed by the unfiltered joint (with a ratio of 1 part cannabinoids to 13 parts tar) The best performing water pipe was matched by the filtered joint, both devices producing about 30% more tar per cannabinoids. The two vaporisers did better than the unfiltered joint, although the hybrid device only just so, while the pure vaporiser outperformed the joint by some 25%. However, the vaporiser produced much lower levels of THC and higher levels of non-psychoactive CBN than the other devices. While this might not be a problem for users whose primary purpose is medicinal the study was intended to aid harm reduction in recreational users, and so results were recomputed to provide a THC to particulates ratio. When this was done the pure vaporiser fell to a position below that of the unfiltered joint.

I've almost always smoked out of a bong/pipe, BUT that's because I could smoke a small bowl, and be sufficiently high. Personally, I rarely finish an entire joint by myself in a single sitting. Granted, I also tend to roll nice, fat, tight joints..but I usually end up smoking a cigarette after about 2/3 of the joint. With a bong, I'll usually smoke about 1 bowl and be fine
So....really..joints are my favorite if i have alot of herb. But I usually end up trying to conserve, and use a bong/pipe.

They are my two preferred smoking methods, but for effectiveness nothing beats a pipe, particularly a water pipe like a bong. I am smoking out of more and more one-hitters lately, but I'm finding ways to stuff more herb into the bowl and I can sit there and smoke it like a joint if I get a good enough cherry on it. Another one of my fav smoking methods is actually rolling up cig-style joints and smoking parts of them in my one-hitters. Very nice way to smoke, IMO. You can sit there and enjoy it like a freshly rolled up doob. And I'm finding that I'm saving on herb this way, as well. I smoked 1/4 of a cig-style/sized joint of Bubblegum (street bought but FANTASTIC) out of my cigarette bat this morning for a wake n' bake and I'm finding myself incredibly high.
I invite anyone to try this method, I promise you won't regret it. The only trick is rolling the cig-style joints as symmetrically as possible. When you go to smoke, cut off a piece of the joint, make sure both ends are open, and stuff it in your one-hitter. The joint basically acts as a portable pot carrier. The rest of the joint, you can just twist up the end again to prevent anything from falling out.

Bones dont do it for me, seems like im pullin more air then smoke, i prefer my little glass piece to smoke from. Bongs sterlize me, i get the biggest and best buzz, but really raises hell on the lungs.
havent ever toked from a vaporizer, so no clue how they work.

each method has its own different high. bongs tend to get me stoned and mellow, joints are a leveled out high.. blunts get me in the clouds, bowls usually the same as a joint.

everything and everyone has their own claim to fame IMHO ... joints are what goes around here mostly, but there is wasted smoke from them inherantly unless you can smoke the whole joint in one long steady puff. Ha...could you imagine?
