We’ve all been there. You’re high as a kite, having just hit the bong for what’s sure to be a long night of fun, laughter, and laughter-laden fun. And then…you realize that you’re about to completely lose your mind and turn into a maniacal laughing mess. The look on your face is almost enough to frighten the unfortunate soul who catches you in this state of mind as you wobble uncontrollably towards them like an out-of-control kite away from the ground with eyes bulged out of their sockets and tears streaming down their cheeks.
When this happens, it’s almost always because of one thing – the bong you’re using has just quit working.
If you’ve never had this happen, do not fear! We’re going to tell you everything you need to know about bubble or poppet mini round base bongs and why they work so well, and then how to tell if your bubbler is fubar’d before it destroys your mind and your wallet.
Now, we don’t want to totally scare you away from using a bubbler – because who wouldn’t want a little trouble in their life every once in a while? (Well, maybe people who are only ever sober. Those poor people.) And luckily, there are a couple of things you can do to fix it and get yourself back on track in no time.
So without any further adoo, here’s the scoop on everything bubble and poppet bongs!
Bubblers are great because you get all the smoothness of a bong (we’ll cover what that is later) AND all the portability of a pipe. And they’re usually pretty cheap if you’re looking in the right place! What’s not to love?
Well, pretty much only one thing…bubbler pipes are notoriously finicky. Sometimes you just have to work with them for a while before they start working properly.
