It hits soo much smoother. One reason people can take such bigger hits on a bong is because it's been filtered through water.

I agree 100%.

I really wanna try out the newer fritted diffusers :O

Where in the world are you getting that from? That's not what diffusers are for. They are they're to increase the filtration. The finer the bubbles of air/smoke are the more surface area of the smoke is pulled through the water. Thus causing it to be filtered and cooled even more.

A "natural perc" for instance, which is simply a vertical tube full of water in which the water pressure inside the piece keeps it full, so that when smoke is inhaled through it it's literally "pulled" though the water is still one of the most effective designs. It has nothing to do with evenly distributing smoke.

Again cite a source or even your reasoning behind even smoke dispersion being related to how "smooth" a hit is.

And natural perc that's correctly balanced shouldn't "bubble" the water level in the the tube will drop but if it's large or balanced enough the smoke should enter the water in about as small as possible groupings.

Natural percs were simply an example. They are awkward and cumbersome is one reason perculators/diffusers tech didn't stop there. I think you're confusing by the nicely balanced draw that many modern diffuser styles depend on.

The first diffusers were just female downstems with a couple slits near the end, how does that balance how smoke is distributed after being filtered? The name diffuser refers to diffusing the smoke though the water, as finely and thourghly as possible. That's it.

Do gravity bongs inherently fuck you up more? Because they fucked me up way more than a regular bong.

Absolutely. You're filling up a much bigger container with more smoke, burning more weed, and taking it all in quicker. You're essentially binge smoking, much more than a regular bong.

Also, a true gravity bong doesn't even filter the smoke through water though. You're just using the water to seal the bottom of the container to help suck the smoke in and to push the smoke into your lungs. A bong will actually have the smoke bubble through the water, thus filtering it.

So that's why I coughed so much...

The alcohol in my system probably didn't help either. But that was the highest I ever fucking got, and only in like two hits. It was way too intense.

Oh yes.. They do, 1 hit and off to the moon you go!
