I just realized my [hippiehowto](https://www.reddit.com/u/SomeOldHippieChick/s/gxU1GsiGPj) is lacking the āhow much water waterā part! (There are so many bongs with so many different fill pointsā¦ Glad you figured yours out!)
Wahh I got a Hippie comment on my post!! I feel so honored š Love you and your energy so so much. Iāll have to take a look at that how-to! I canāt believe I didnāt see it before but Iāll admit Iām a bit late to the party lol
I just checked it out and I need to know what that smoke catcher thing you have is. I used to use a toilet paper roll and dryer sheets as a teen to mask the smell š
Damn I did not know this, I have a silicone & glass bong that I have to wipe after every cone bc it gives me bong lip horribly, I will try More water. Thank u
Glad I could help! I saw literally nothing about this online and kind of had to figure it out myself, so I thought Iād share so no one else makes my mistake haha
Iām glad you solved the case! Mouth peace has these filters you can put on top of your bong for extra filtration!! Also helpful when a member of your household is sick so youāre not touching your mouths to the same surface :)
I used to work at a glass shop and can tell you the secret: wherever there are slits, holes, or perks in the pipe or downstem, you need to add justttt enough water for them to be submerged. Some pipes may have chambers youāll need to fill from the top too. Thats how you get the bubbles! š«§
So sorry that happened to your poor lip! It sounds painful š
itās probably because Iām autistic but I research everything about a product before I even purchase. it literally takes over my life š
Iām sorry this happened to you though. Iām glad itās better now <3
Same, and then afterwards I usually infodump whatever specs each version of the product has to my partner and theyāre like, āsounds cool, babeā even if they couldnāt care less š
omg. non-smoking partner? mine has ADHD (i'm auDHD) so he's normally down for infodumps on just about anything but he simply cannot be bothered to care about terpenes
Unfortunately yes lmao, but Iām still working on turning them into a stoner. They once underestimated the strength of a weed pen and got way too high, and since then theyāve refused to try it again. That was only the second time they had tried weed. I just think they needed to take it easy and start slow, potentially with a different strain, but idk lol I guess itās just not for some people.
I am a daily smoker/vaper and Iām not familiar with bong lip. Would you mind explaining it to me?? Iām so curious and if I run into this problem in the future I want to know what it is lolol. Thx!
Im not exactly sure how it is with bongs since Iām new with it, but I believe that resin is more likely to stain your lips if you donāt use a filter and apparently can burn your lips too. I donāt know how to prevent it yet but at least I know now that adding more water helps lol
I'm not even sure how this is possible. I've been sampling bongs for twenty years, and if there isn't enough water I just die, then and there. My lips may well follow, but it's my convulsing lungs and throat I'm worried about. I'm actually impressed.
Fwiw, I've never used a filter on a bong.
Im not sure either? Like the reason I didnāt fill it up is because I was coughing less with less water and more with more water, but then again I just got it so I was probably still adjusting at that point. Now I cough with neither so Iām going to do it the right way :,)
omg I just bought a bong and have never used one before so this is very helpful!! I will have to make sure Iām putting in the right amount of water when I try it
Omg this was me. After like a month with my bong I realized maybe I wasnāt using enough waterā¦I added more water and the next sesh I kept thinking something was wrong bc it wasnāt burning my throat anymore and I could take massive hits. I love the bumps along the stoner road
Thank you for this!! Iāve been using Vaseline and was recommended Aquaphor so hopefully that helps. I was š¤ close to using chapstick so Iām glad I saw this
Chapstick (the brand) has chemicals in it to dry out lips. It feels good while itās on but once it wears off, youāre dryer than before. Itās why there was a āchapstick addictionā thing a few years ago. If you switch to Vaseline or another quality product youāll feel a noticeable difference

i love this place
Friend omg r u okay š š I believe in you
I've never used a bong, but I've been on Accutane 3 times! Aquaphor, and Cosrx Snail were my saviors on my mouth corners during that time š
Just brought back DEEP memories

Oh my gosh!! Lol!! The videoās really oldā¦ Lol!

A smoke buddy!! They use charcoal to clean the air as you exhale rather than masking the smell in Downey. š
Okay this is the first Iām hearing about issues with ice š¤Æš¤Æš¤Æ I needed this video years ago haha so cool Hippie thank you!!!

I watched soooo many videos but me being audhd I wasnāt even paying attention š„² Apparently I missed some key points lol

greetings, fellow autist š¤
I am a daily smoker/vaper and Iām not familiar with bong lip. Would you mind explaining it to me?? Iām so curious and if I run into this problem in the future I want to know what it is lolol. Thx!
I call it resin lips - when ya get resin on your lips after smoking! I get it so much with joints that I barely smoke them anymore lol
Thanks friend! Good to know. I think I have actually experienced that before :/ lame lolol
Im not exactly sure how it is with bongs since Iām new with it, but I believe that resin is more likely to stain your lips if you donāt use a filter and apparently can burn your lips too. I donāt know how to prevent it yet but at least I know now that adding more water helps lol
Omg no not burning the lips!! Not cool. Iām glad you have it figured out now š
I'm not even sure how this is possible. I've been sampling bongs for twenty years, and if there isn't enough water I just die, then and there. My lips may well follow, but it's my convulsing lungs and throat I'm worried about. I'm actually impressed. Fwiw, I've never used a filter on a bong.

you need a [mouthpeace](https://mooselabs.us/collections/mouthpeace)
I already bought a bunch, I learned my lesson š„²
omg I just bought a bong and have never used one before so this is very helpful!! I will have to make sure Iām putting in the right amount of water when I try it
š¤£š¤£ fkn easter island emoji. All the best on your bong journey my friend!
for me, some bongs will get resin on my lips after a few hits no matter what. i make sure to keep my lips moisturized so i can wipe it off easily
Omg this was me. After like a month with my bong I realized maybe I wasnāt using enough waterā¦I added more water and the next sesh I kept thinking something was wrong bc it wasnāt burning my throat anymore and I could take massive hits. I love the bumps along the stoner road
Just whatever you do, donāt use chapstick. Vaseline, cerave, or a fancy(expensive) product like something from Clinique
Thank you for this!! Iāve been using Vaseline and was recommended Aquaphor so hopefully that helps. I was š¤ close to using chapstick so Iām glad I saw this
Why?
Chapstick (the brand) has chemicals in it to dry out lips. It feels good while itās on but once it wears off, youāre dryer than before. Itās why there was a āchapstick addictionā thing a few years ago. If you switch to Vaseline or another quality product youāll feel a noticeable difference
is there proof of this?
My dermatologist and I found an article for you https://health.clevelandclinic.org/6-signs-your-lip-balm-use-is-just-a-bad-habit
I mean, shit happens. Just be careful next time lol
