Using a bong is a great way to smoke weed. The water in the bong is used to cool the smoke before it hits your lungs so you can take bigger hits. You can maximize the effects of the bong if you use a diffuser. A diffuser can be any device that breaks up the smoke bubbles as they rise through the water. There are diffuser pebbles, marbles, rocks, and downstems. With the diffuser stem the bowl is actually attached to the diffuser and the smoke must pass through small holes before hitting the water. All of these diffusers work by breaking up the smoke molecules so that the water can cool and purify the smoke with more efficiency. The diffuser marbles and pebbles are the easiest accessory to use because you can just pour them into the bottom of any water pipe. You don't have to worry about whether the diffuser stem will fit properly with your specific bong model. The diffuser pebbles will work with any bong size, shape, or style.

To use diffuser pebbles you just pour them into the bong until they are level with the stem and water. As smoke is drawn into the bong, the smoke is forced to travel around the pebbles. This gives the smoke more time and surface area to be cooled and purified by the water. You will feel the difference when the smoke hits your lungs. The diffused smoke will allow you to take larger hits that are much less harsh. There will still be some coughing, but you're not going to kill yourself hacking up a lung. Diffuser pebbles can be made out of plastic, ceramic, glass, or rock. The material will not affect the quality of the diffusion, and comes down to personal preference. Some people would rather not pour rocks into their expensive glass bong. For these people the plastic diffuser pebbles will work just as good as the rock or glass.

A great plastic diffuser for fragile bongs are the 2K Diffuser Beads. These are tiny lightweight plastic beads that come in a container of 500. They will fill any size bong up to extra-large. These diffuser beads come in a variety of colors to accessorize your bong. They are available in white, blue, red, green, yellow, and black. Or you can mix some of them all to create a trippy rainbow effect while your bong is being smoked. These beads are completely reusable and can be easily cleaned. The 2K diffuser beads cost around 10 dollars for a jar of 500. For more information visit their website.

If you're looking for something free and easy another option is to use diffuser marbles. These can be any toy glass marbles that you don't mind getting bong residue on. Marbles come in a variety of sizes and colors and all of them will work for diffusing your bong. Although you should take more care when using hard glass marbles if you have a fragile glass bong. They work just as good as the diffuser pebbles, and can be easily cleaned or disposed of when you are finished with them. Whether you use marbles, pebbles or beads, diffusing the smoke is a great way to maximize the efficiency of your favorite bong.
