JUMPING DARKNESS PARADE: DAATH’S EYAL LEVI MISSES TAKING BONG HITS
Friday, August 7th, 2009 at 3:00pm by Eyal Levi
I haven’t smoked weed in about three weeks now. I haven’t wanted to. Getting sick kind of took that wind out of my sails and then I had no choice but to abstain in the hospital. Two nights ago I was at my girl’s place watching her and her roommate spark joint after joint after joint, and the craving came back. I didn’t partake. And I’m not going to for awhile, but I wanted to. And I still kinda do.
I miss taking bong hits. Now that [Daath vocalist] Sean Z has decided that we tour with a vaporizer, it’s been a while since I got a nice, beefy hit of fucking weed smoke in my lungs. All it is all day long in our van is vapor. Which I think is cool. I mean, I own a vaporizer, and I’ve given them as gifts, but there comes a point where you want to take a real hit. I’m talking like a PHX or a Roar hit. That’s what I’m craving, that’s what I want.
It’s going to be weeks before I would even dare do that again, so at best I’m stuck either eating it or possibly vaporizing it, but I’m not going to add insult to injury, as the doctor said. So that brings up the question. Do you guys have a preferred method? Any of you into vaporizing? Is it just me or, as great as vaporizing is, does something just get lost in that experience? Sean Z now thinks that smoking is gross. He will pretty much only vaporize. Is it really gross? I feel like vaporizing is a novelty in the end, but it’s a nice novelty. However, there’s just so much care involved and you never get fucking blasted like from a bong.
I’ll say this. I do prefer the vaporizer to constantly smoking joints like we used to. I feel like joints are wasteful, and it’s really hard to get to the level you want to get to without having two personal joints good to go. Sometime on the Dragonforce tour, Sean Z and I ended up on a trade mission. I would find him chocolate milk, cause that’s his thing, and he would roll me personal joints… ‘Cause I can’t roll worth a shit. And that was nice. I can hang with the personal joints.
Maybe my issue is that there’s always too many people around, and if you aren’t getting monster hits, you aren’t getting shit. Therefore I prefer the bong, because if you hit it right you can be in a group of seven and still get your rocks off. Good luck doing that while passing a joint or a vapor whip. What’s your hit of choice?
While thinking about it, those of you with a bong that’s three feet or longer should try out one of our drink/smoke games for fun. Its called “the trio.” You need the bong, a shot of whiskey, and a shot of Jager. Objective is this – clear the bong, hold it in, take the two shots, exhale. Best of luck. Lemme know how it goes.

And while you’re attempting “the trio,” why don’t you visit Daath on MySpace?
I would agree nothing better then a bong. Although I have never used a vaporizer, it just doesn’t sound like it would be as good as a bong.
we smoke fat blunts
don’t forget the bongs retarded lil brother, the bubbler,filled with brandy. Liquor hits are slowly becoming my preferred method.
I had to stop once I decided to major in voice in college.
When me and a few friends have to conserve weed, we use the GB. But ultimately, like you said, nothing beats a bong rip.
bong > all.!
Dang, hasn’t anyone ever heard of knife hits? I used to take knife hits raw, like straight from the knives without any contraption to cool the smoke from, then one day I met this girl who was into knife hits too. We were going to her place to smoke some dank and when we got to her place I readied the knives on her stove and then she busts out a plastic bottle with the end cut off, stuffs the bottomless bottle with ice, proceeds to perforate the bottom of the bottle that has been cut off and then places the bottom piece of the bottle upside down into the body of the bottle. I get a piece of bud, place them inbetween the knives while this chick places the top end of the bottle to her lips. I placed the knives under her bottle and she inhales through the perforated holes, which then the smoke bypasses the ice and voila! No more harsh knife hits! That was pretty cool, and if you haven’t taken a knife hit… you sir, have not gotten baked!
you can also enjoy knife hits through a bong too. If anyone has a decent glass bong with a removeable bowl, just remove the bowl and place the knives near where the stem of the bowl would enter the bong and inhale! Enjoy and thank me later.
Yeah knife hits are good if you are low on your bud. But they fuck all your knives up!
That’s why you have a designated pair of knives that are only used for the sole purose of knife hits.
I prefer the bong over anything but when one isn’t available I use my trusty pipe ‘The Time Machine’
joints don’t really do much for me
Yeah, I can’t roll for shit either. When I am able to actually get a hold of weed, I smoke out of a small pipe. I don’t own a bong because selling parafanalia is outlawed in my town, and have been too lazy to drive over to the next county.
my tried and true method is pipes. bongs are fantastic, if the bong wants to play nice (im no good at judging the hit of a bong the first few times i try a new one). vaporizers are really awesome but i agree, there is something missing there.
like pipes myself, and gravity bongs are great for gettin ripped with little amounts of weed. thats the preferred method in my band, just some good ol redneck engineering!
Agreed on something missing with the vaporized, though that is the method I use most of the time…
My preferred method? Two words, BONG RIPS.
I love the bongs, but I also like smoking a fat blunt from some to time. Def would like to try a vap sometime tho
I use a vaporizer everyday, and hit a bong when i wanna get so baked i fall asleep
While i definitely enjoy a good bong (Roar preferably)..The volcano vaporizer is the way to go. It extracts every last bit of THC, there is nothing wasted. It tastes great, doesn’t burn your throat, and gets you fucked up. It’s also the healthiest way to smoke. On the other hand, it is expensive and sometimes a hassle (having to plug it in, connecting the bag). Basically i like it as a special occasion.. Some Johnnie Walker Green instead of Jack Daniels if you will. Give the vape a few more shots Eyal and you’ll fall in love with it though
I own a silver surfer vape, one of our best friends brings over the Extreme a lot, I’ve toured with vapes, etc.
I’m versed in vape technologies… I think its great and a really clean high but I dunno man, there’s just something about those bong hits
yeah my band visited DF on that tour and they were talking about the daath vaporizer like it was alien technology.
Next tour we do that doesn’t have a border crossing, gas mask bong all the way. To me that feels like the most efficient way, since I started using that there’s just no going back.
I love a good bong hit. Joints, as you said, seem wasteful, and I have the exact same issue with vaporizers – I like the feel of actual smoke, rather than vapors. My bong (Tokesmortem) is sitting about two feet away, and it’s calling my name.
Hey Eyal, do you have any preferred regions when it comes to quality of grass?
Oh yeah, if you wind up playing a show in Victoria, I’ll gladly roll you a few personal doobs, man.
one-hitter sneak-a-toke all day long, anywhere i go….
vapes are great, but nothing hits like a bong.
A bonghit or two before I go on stage = a good fuckin’ show.
Vaporizer tends to be more enjoyable after the show when I just wanna sit and drink.
bongs all day kid ALL DAY
roor and illadelph ready to go
I like them all. Vaporizer gives you more bang for your buck from the weed though. The other night (me and my 4 roommates last night in a house before we moved) we all got together for one last smoke sesh, used the Vap, and seriously used hardly any weed and we were all on the moon. Then we went and spend 40 bucks at del taco between 5 of us.
I dont really care though, I just like getting high
well eyal I was thinking about how to include you next time and I have the answer!!!! It wont fill your lungs with smoke and make you cough untill you are seeing spots, but you will be Stoned!!!!
Explain
Blunts and bongs are my preferred methods. Vaporizers are cool, but you lose the taste and vapes never seem to fuck me up as much as everyone else says they do. A friend of mine made a weed tea one time and it got me more stoned than I have ever been in my life. By a long shot.
one thing for my fellow bong brothers, get some bee-line.
shits fucking amazing. cleanest bong rips youll ever take
If I’m by myself, Mr. Snicklepants (skull bowl) is my preferred method. But if I get two or more people to join in the festivities I bust out the bong. My preferred bong for use with smaller groups is my music note. It works well with 2-3 people. But with 4 or more I have a 3 footer I like to bust out named Wraith. I hate joints. I agree that they are wasteful. I’ve only smoked out of a vaporizer one time and I did not get very stoned…so I haven’t used one since. I was intrigued by the one shown in “Super High Me” though.
Hydro Lungs or buckets are by far one of the best things for getting high. Maybe its because I don’t do them often or something but they got my completely fucked when I did. All you do is fill up your sink with water, cut the bottom 3 or 4 inches off of a 2L pop bottle, and make a tinfoil bowl for it. You then put your weed in the bowl and lower the toker into the water. You then light the weed and slowly pull the pop bottle out of the water so it fills with smoke. You then take off the cap and put your mouth to the top of the pop bottle and submerge it in the water pulling it back out at the last minute when you fell the suction build up. It basically works like a weed cannon and it getting you stoned as hell.
