Why should you get one?
There are hundreds of videos on YouTube of Gas mask bong rips. They all look pretty fun and make you want to try.
Even though it looks fun, it is really not very practical to use a gas mask bong every day.
In fact, there are no significant benefits of using a gas mask bong. They won’t really get you any higher than hitting a regular bong. And they’re a little bit irritating to use.
They why should you get one?
- Gas mask bongs are good as a fun novelty item.
- They look really awesome and goofy.
- Gas mask bongs are great as a gift.
- They are always a hit at a party.
- It’s always fun to see the reaction of someone hitting a gas mask bong for the first time.
- They are pretty cheap and will make a good addition to your paraphernalia collection.
How to use a Gas Mask Bong?
It is really straightforward to use a gas mask bong and not too different from hitting a regular bong. The key is to keep it airtight. I have seen people using it in different ways, but the best way to use a gas mask bong is:
- Step 1 – Remove the bong from the mask and fill it with water.
- Step 2 – Pack the bowl before attaching the bong to the mask. You won’t have clear visibility once you put the mask on.
- Step 3 – Loosen up the straps and slide the mask over your head. Pull the straps to keep it comfortable and snug on your face so that you can take it off easily in case of emergency.
- Step 4 – Light up the bowl and inhale through the mouthpiece.
Inhale until you’ve cleared the bong. When you’ve had enough, loosen the straps and pull off the mask.
There is an exhaust port fitted with valves right in front of the mouthpiece. When you exhale, the air will push the valve down and escape the mask without going back down the bong.
Is it safe?
The concept of a bong gas mask is simple. You basically strap yourself into a gas mask, attach a bong, fill it with weed, smoke, and create your own mini hot box.
If you are an experienced smoker, then a gas mask bong is perfectly safe. They can be dangerous in a certain sense but not in a life-threatening way.
If you are claustrophobic, then you may feel suffocated if the mask is too tight on your face. Ensure that the straps fit perfectly around your head and the mouthpiece is placed right onto your mouth.
If you inhale too much and start to feel suffocated, then take the mask off immediately.
Other than that, relax and enjoy the experience with your friends or alone.
Cons
It can take a lot of time to put the mask on and adjust it for each user when using it in a group setting.
Once you put the mask on, it can be tricky to pack the bowl if you are doing it yourself, as you cannot really see much through the mask.
When you are using a gas mask bong, you will get smokes in your eyes, and it can cause irritation and redness around the eye area.
A lot of smoke gets trapped in the mask, which can cause coughing. If you have asthma or suffering from other respiratory issues, you should avoid using gas mask bongs by all means.
How to choose the perfect Gas Mask Bong?
This most visually shocking way of smoking cannabis can be a lot of fun, and that’s why there are so many gas mask bong options on the market to choose from.
If you are planning on using it more than once, keep in mind what suits you best.
It is always better to invest a bit more cash and get a glass bong rather than a plastic one. Plastic is not very healthy and can change its shape after a while with exposure to high temperatures, resulting in toxic components being directly inhaled by the user.
If possible, try to get one with a snorkel to help you breathe more naturally.
Other than that, play around with different shapes and colors to become the most popular smoker out there.
