Know Your Cannabis Gear Better!
New to CBD and Hemp? Want to get cool gear to represent your personal style? From the many shapes and sizes available, you could feel a little overwhelmed choosing one that is right for you. To make you understand which one is best for you, let’s go through the basics of understanding what are bongs and rigs and their functions.
Bongs
If you are using flowers, then this gear is a good choice. Different types of bongs are available to choose from in the bong store. The bong comprises the bong itself, the down stem, and a bowl piece. They come in many designs like flared-based ones, straight tubes, round-based, and percolators. The round ones have more stability and can also hold more smoke. Percolators are a popular choice, too, as they allow the smoke to be filtered before inhaling it. This provides a cooler and smoother inhalation. They are, however, a bit hard to clean. The tube ones are standard, and they are exactly how they should be, in the form of a tube. Though some bongs may be a little expensive, they provide quality and can be used for a long time. Are you looking to make a homemade water bottle bong?

Dab Rigs
These are usually used when you want to smoke concentrates and extracts. You will not be smoking the actual product itself but rather be inhaling the vapour from the vaporized product. The dab comprises a rig and a nail. The nail actually looks like a carpenter’s nail. It is an important part of the dab rig. You place the nail on the rig or between it. Once the nail is heated to the right and optimum temperature, you drop your product or place it on the heated nail. You can light the nail with a hand torch. The product then produces a vapor that you can inhale. There are several types of dab rigs like the standard ones, mini ones, and so on. The mini rigs are perfect due to their compact size to take them with you wherever you go. There are also recyclable options available that are visually appealing, but they are not very portable. They, however, do provide you with the smoothest hit possible.
Which One Should You Choose?
The best way to choose which one is right for you is dependant on what you plan to smoke, .i.e. If it flowers, oils, and so on. Another factor to take into consideration is your budget. The fancier the gear, the more expensive it will be. If you want to get the best out of your products, bongs and rigs are your best choice compared to other gears. A quick tip if you are leaning towards bongs is that you can easily convert it into a dab rig if you have the right nail.
Also, the quality of the product used has one of the biggest impacts on your experience. Make sure to buy it from a known source only, so you make the best of your product and the gear.
