A bong is my preferred hit but not my preferred device. I smoke from 2 small metal bowls, differing from each other only in the casing color. They don't break, they screw and unscrew apart for easy cleaning and maximum rez recovery. Bong rips are smooth, I can pull more of what I'm burning with such, but I am clumsy and the people I know are clumsy. My bowls endure.
