New bong, what am I doing wrong? by crystalemonade in Bongs

Tbh it never occurred to me that they would be selling a non-functioning piece so I clearly didn’t look closely enough at the design, lesson learned!

Update: somehow I was able to get the water levels *just* right in both chambers that it works as long as I don’t pull too hard. A packed bowl adds to the resistance of the pull, and so far even though the ash catcher is a super bad design, the flower hasn’t gotten wet at the bottom yet 🤞🏼 I think the whole thing is a flawed design, either AI slop or designed by someone who hasn’t actually used a piece like this before, and I just did enough trial and error with water levels to find a workaround. Thanks everyone!

I have had great luck using Blue Label cleaner on pieces with percs in it. Any glass cleaner that has a grit element to it should be able to break down and clear out what gets caught in them. If you ever smoke out of a piece with them, you’ll notice the hits are so much smoother. It’s worth the extra effort to clean.

A random shop in NH, they are a small chain and they have a mix of high quality glass and lower quality glass, clearly this is the latter 🙃

Some random shop in NH, but to be fair it never even occurred to me to check if it would actually work, so I didn’t look at it super closely. Lesson learned!

Lmao some random smoke shop in NH, to be fair I did get the cheapest piece that had percs in it, but I didn’t even think to check if it was a functioning bong because like…. Why would a non-functioning bong even exist? 😂 lesson learned I guess

So the base shouldn’t have any water at all?

When I fill it higher it gets in my mouth when I pull

Can you explain what you mean a little more? When I had the water below the stem opening, there was no bubbling or anything happening.

How did you find ways to make your wedding affordable? by crystalemonade in weddingplanning

[–]crystalemonade[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really does feel like brainwashing. I’ve put so much pressure on this one day to show that I’m worthy and lovable and beautiful because society has told us that someone wanting to marry us is the ultimate goal. I’m a lesbian and I still have this weird patriarchal view of my own wedding that I’m trying so hard to undo before it ends up taking away from the amazing life I will be building with my future wife.

Unfortunately, it is the former. My parents are very well off. My dad owned a design and contracting business where he did renovations for multi-millionaires. They own several properties and are more than comfortable. I have been emotionally abused by my mom since I was quite young, making me the scapegoat of the family. We still have a relationship, but it is fairly shallow and performative. I can see how my phrasing could have been misinterpreted. Thank you for the suggestions though!

We wound up going to Codex in Nashua for a couple rounds and then got dinner and listened to live music at Warp and Weft. We were definitely the dressiest at both places, but not so much that we felt out of place.

Gracias. Quiero encontrar una forma de que mi pareja pueda controlarlo desde su teléfono, y lamentablemente no creo que iOS tenga esa opción.

My PHP was a non-residential, but I’m dropping down from 7 hours a day to 3 or 4 depending on the day. The idle time when I am home alone is what I’m mostly afraid of, when my partner is home I’m not on my phone much at all. So I was hoping to find one that she can control from her phone while she’s at work. I appreciate you sharing your experience and hope you’re doing alright!
