There are an endless amount of possibilities when it comes to smoking marijuana. You can smoke a joint, bong, vaporizer, hooka, bubbler, or a blunt. Which smoking method you decide to go with really just comes down to personal preference. One of the most popular ways to smoke weed is with a water pipe. This can refer to any weed smoking device that uses water to cool and purify the smoke before it enters your body. There are a variety of different styles and sizes of water pipes so you can pick the best one for your needs and taste.

The most commonly used water pipe used for smoking marijuana is a bong. This is basically a bowl attached to a tube that is filled with water. Smoke is inhaled up through the water and into the tube. bongs can range in size from 6 inches all the way up to 6 feet. The goal of a bong is to get as much smoke into your lungs as is physically possible. As you hit the bong the smoke bubbles up through the water, filling the tube until you're ready to release it into your lungs with the carb. You can control the size of your bong hit by regulating the amount of smoke you let collect in the tube. Bongs are popular to use because of the power and speed with which you get high.

Another popular marijuana water pipe is the bubbler. This is a glass marijuana pipe that has an extra chamber on the bottom for water. Like the bong, the smoke is purified and cooled by the water before exiting the pipe and into your lungs. This makes it possible to take cleaner and larger hits. A serious art form has been created around the glass bubbler. The beauty of the designs and colors is consistently taken to new levels by talented glass blowing artists. The only downside is that these water pipes are more fragile than bongs or other pipes so you really need to be careful. A bubbler combines the best of both worlds, giving you the enjoyable aspects of smoking a bong and a pipe. If you don't like the intensity and hit size of a bong but still want the positive effects of the water, a bubbler is the perfect choice.

Bongs and bubblers are both great ways to smoke weed, but they tend to be expensive pieces to buy. For smokers who are on a budget there are more basic versions of the water pipe. These can resemble a small bong or a water bottle. A weed water pipe will be 3 to 6 inches tall with a bowl on the front like a bong or on top. The models with the bowl on top usually have a small tube for the smoke to come out of. Because of their size these water pipes generally do not have a carb like a bong or bubbler. But they offer a great way to enjoy the benefits of smoking in a convenient travel size.
