A water pipe, or bong as it’s also known, is a device used for smoking substances such as tobacco or legal herbs. The design of a bong is based on the hookah, which is also commonly known as a water pipe.
The bong has been used for centuries in South East Asia, mainly by the Hmong in Laos and the natives in Thailand. The word itself stems from the Thai word ‘baung,’ which refers to a wooden tube or pipe that is made from bamboo and cut into a cylindrical shape. ‘Marijuana Review’ first used the word ‘bong’ in Western literature in 1971.
The water in a bong is used to cool the smoke and prevent it from burning the mouth and lungs of the smoker. It is also claimed that smoking this way is safer, as the water traps some of the heavier particles in the smoke as well as preventing the water-soluble molecules from being inhaled. This system of filtration is compared to a gas bottle-washer used in laboratories.
Bongs come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Often, they are sold as a device for smoking legal herbs. A variety of studies on the use of water pipes and normal rolled cigarettes have been undertaken. These studies were carried out to determine if the use of bongs has health benefits over normal smoking methods. According to the results of several of these studies, having the smoke filtered by water before inhalation is a healthier form of smoking and can be an effective way to remove certain dangerous chemicals and molecules from the smoke, these would otherwise remain in normal cigarette or pipe smoke.

The number of people who are using class-A illegal drugs as “recreational,” is soaring because of the drugs’ growing availability and lower prices. This latest buzz term is used by many people to describe their usage of drugs, like Ecstasy and cocaine, to have more fun during their weekends.
However, partygoers are now shifting to legal herbal highs, with the purpose of trying to get the similar effects of the illegal substances. These herbal highs are available in many shops and even over the Internet, which serves as a powerful marketing medium of these products. Herbal highs are called by various names, such as X4 Ecstasy, California’s, Strawberry Fields, and Speedo’s.
Through the Internet, herbal highs gained more media attention and, because of their popularity, other products also became widely known, like herbal Viagra. Although herbal Viagra has been available for years, it has only begun to really shine recently as a substitute for the real “little blue pill.” An example of herbal Viagra that is being advertised is Duro, which is known to have extracts of fungus from silkworms. There are several varieties of Viagra on the market for men and women. Viagra is intended to cure erectile dysfunction, increase sexual performance and stamina, and increase libido. However, herbal Viagra often has some dangerous side effects, including low blood pressure. There is also proof that herbal Viagra may become toxic if too big a dose is taken.
These herbal products are offered by several leading suppliers. One of them is the Ultimate Herbal, which is regarded as one of the leading suppliers in the UK of herbal Viagra and other products that enhance sexual ability.

A cigarette lighter is a device that is small, reasonably cheap, and designed to fit comfortably into a pocket. All modern lighters contain virtually the same parts; a container for the fuel, which can be made of either metal or plastic, flammable fluid such as pressurised liquid gas, and a means for igniting and extinguishing the flame.
Johann Wolfgang was the inventor of the first portable lighter. It was known as Döbereiner’s lamp. This device was first developed in 1823 and its production was continued until 1880.
World War I greatly accelerated the demand for efficient lighters. Early on in the war, the soldiers sometimes used matches to help find their way in the dark in the trenches, as well as to light their cigarettes. However, when first lit the matches of the day produced a very strong flare, often revealing a soldier’s position to the enemy. Towards the end of the First World War, lighters had become a very useful and quite efficient mass-produced product.
Similarly, World War II greatly accelerated the demand for Zippo lighters. These were manufactured in the US and given to US soldiers. These lighters were preferred for their reliability and their liquid base.
In the latter part of the 20th century, inexpensive butane lighters gained popularity. With the introduction of these particular lighters they soon became viewed as a disposable commodity, as opposed to being a valued personal item to be kept long term, as had been the case in the past.
Heavier, more ornamental lighters were very popular during the nineteen fifties and into the late sixties. They were not meant to be carried but were usually placed on a coffee table in a living room. Some of those were very ornate indeed and were quite expensive. The pricier ones had a body crafted from silver. They predominantly used a liquid fuel.

When it comes to smoking herbs in order to obtain a legal high, glass pipes and bongs are the name of the game. For many reasons, glass is considered the material of choice – as opposed to wood, metal or ceramic – when it comes to constructing a bong.
The most important reason that glass is the best bong material is that glass is easy to clean and there are everyday products in most supermarkets that are right for this task. In addition, metal and ceramic pipes retain heat and these materials react chemically when lit or heated; glass maintains an even temperature and doesn’t produce dangerous chemicals during the combustion process. Materials, like wood, are finite; wood pipes will erode and burn down eventually. Glass bongs will last just about forever if handled with care. Glass has the added benefit of being transparent, thereby making the bong easy to fill, since the user can see how much of the herb can fit inside. Glass is also completely “inert”; this means that it won’t affect the taste of the smoke like metal can.
Two different types of glass are used in pipe construction. The first and most popular form of glass is called soft glass, which is thinner and more aesthetically pleasing. The second type of glass is Pyrex or “hard glass”; Pyrex, which is popular in the manufacture of baking dishes because of its heat resistance, is ideal for bongs because of its resilience to heat, and because it is less likely to break. Do-it-yourself bongs have become popular, and instructions for constructing such a bong can be found on the Internet.

Here is a review of a legal high product that somone has sent in to us here at Jungle Fever
Was looking for a legal alternative to the good old e, tried these at a festival last night. Quite similar to e in that you loose all your inhibitions, and feel really buzzed up. There is a touch of euphoria, but really not comparable. Peak buzz is about 1.5 hours after taking it, you feel clear in the head, but when you try walking and stuff you realize that you are actually really out of it.
I had a really good night, although you really do need all three pills to maintain the rush. And no comedown, just feel a bit tired…so i do recommend it

A hookah pipe, commonly referred to as a shisha in Arabic, is a water pipe that has either one or more stems for smoking.hookah pipes were originally developed in India, but its popularity quickly spread throughout Asia and the Middle East. In addition, thanks to travellers in these areas, the hookah pipe is also gaining a following in western countries, such as the US, the UK and Canada.
The hookah utilises water to filter smoke from herbal mixtures with indirect heat, thus creating a unique and enjoyable legal smoking experience.
The hookah has a range of titles depending on where in the world it is being used. For example in Turkey and most of the Middle East it is called a nargeela. Alternatively, in Egypt it is called a shisha and the content is referred to as moassel.
Throughout the Arab world the hookah is smoked as part of the region’s culture and tradition. Hookah smoking in social settings is very common in these areas and is often done with single or double hoses. Hookah smoking in Arab social settings carries with it certain social niceties that are observed, such as placing the hose on the table after smoking to signal to the other smokers that the pipe is available. Alternatively, if the pipe is simply being passed from one smoker to the next, it is handed with the mouthpiece folded back, and not pointing in the direction of the recipient. The recipient takes the hookah and gently slaps the person he received it from as a sign of respect and thanks.

Herbal smoking has led to the creation of numerous appliances and devices. These have been developed as cultural symbols, out of necessity with improved technology, or simply as a matter of fashion or style.
Water pipes have been in use for centuries around the world. Evidence of their very early use has been found throughout Asia and the Middle East. Today, their popularity has spread throughout the West as well. A bong is a type of water pipe that is used for smoking substances such as legal herbs. The bong is particularly popular in countries, such as the US, the UK, and Canada, amongst others. Originally from South East Asia, from the areas of Thailand and Laos, the bong first received recognition in the journal ‘Marijuana Review’, which published an article in 1971 about this device.
Another type of water pipe is the hookah pipe. This contraption is referred to by a variety of names depending on the country where it is being used. In Arabic, it is known as a shisha. It contains one or more pipes for smoking, and a chamber for water. Originally developed in India, the hookah pipe’s popularity quickly spread throughout the Middle East and Asia. Like other water pipes, the hookah utilises water to filter and cool the smoke, indirectly derived from herbs. The hookah is also known as a nargeela in many areas.
Water pipes, including glass bongs, continue to grow in popularity around the world. Using smoking bongs has been compared to smoking regular herbal cigarettes. These comparative studies tested whether smoking through a water pipe, such as a bong, is ‘healthier’ than cigarette smoking. The results of many studies indicate that this is actually the case.

In order to get a legal high from smoking a herbal cigarette, you must of course light it first. A lighter is an indispensible accessory for the smoker and you can’t experience a satisfying smoke without it. Lighters seem to reflect their owners in much the same way as a cigarette holder or cigarette cases do; they come in an almost-infinite variety of materials, shapes, styles and colours.
To break the lighter down into its components; they are really just small plastic or metal containers with lighter fluid inside. This fluid is usually liquid butane, which is stored under pressure. The lighter has an ignition mechanism, which works either by striking a small metal hand-operated roller against a flint or by creating a spark with an electric charge.
Lighters can be collectors’ items or they can be a simple, cheap, throwaway object that can be found in any corner shop or supermarket. Designs range from the mundane and the ordinary, to the stylish and the outlandish. There is a lighter for every taste, use and style. Lighters can be cheap simple plastic objects that are as disposable as a paper napkin, or they can be refillable and designed to reflect an interest in just about any theme or hobby: tennis, musical instruments, beer glasses, cars, and ammunition. Some are even shaped like a pistol or a hand grenade.
Perhaps the most famous cigarette-lighter producing company in the world is the Zippo Manufacturing Company that created the famous Zippo lighter, a metal lighter that has been around in one configuration or another for over 70 years.
You may not be as well informed as you should be when it comes to legal highs. It is actually quite legal to get high by using a smoking bong to smoke herbs, and have been smoked by people for generations; they promote relaxation and help one achieve a sense of wellbeing.
Herbal highs, which are sometimes called legal highs, can be achieved using a range of substances, including some plant materials in raw forms. In other cases, chemicals can be derived from natural minerals, which can also lead to a herbal high. A wide variety of natural resources, some of which are commonly used for other purposes can be utilised. For instance, catnip, which is ordinarily given to cats to make them lively, can be smoked to induce a legal high; dill (commonly used in cooking) and hops (a main ingredient in beer) are other herbs that many are familiar with. The same goes for nutmeg, parsley, fennel and wild lettuce – all can be used in water or glass bongs.
Herbs that are used for smoking are legal in just about every country. The side effects of smoking legal herbs can be similar to those of illegal drugs; even herbs can have a mind-altering effect on users. Legal or not, it’s not a good idea to drive after smoking herbs or to do any activity for which good judgment and quick reactions are necessary. You can expect a side effect not unlike that which is experienced after drinking too much alcohol; a legal high is pleasant but you should always be responsible and aware of the possible consequences to your body and to your mind.
