I am very confused about how a dry herb vape works with a bubbler/bong/water pipe (I don't know the right word for which one - I'm not up on all the lingo because I don't talk to anyone else about getting stoned, I just do it) and I am hoping someone can explain to me how it is supposed to work.
IME, with combustion, there is a downstem that has a bowl with a metal screen to hold the herbs for combustion at one end with a ground glass joint that the glass tube fits through and extends into the water. When you draw, the vapor from the bowl enters the downstem and bubbles through the water and out to the mouthpiece where it is inhaled.
Most dry herb vape connection kits that I have seen are to fit the vape onto the ground glass joint, either directly or with a long tube called a whip. There is no stem to bubble the vapor through the water, it would just float directly out of the mouthpiece without going through the water.
So there are obviously some types of pipes/bubblers/bongs/whatever that have fixed dowstems built in. What are they called? How do I do an internet search for that type? It is a bong or a bubbler or a water pipe or something else? They all sound the same and I'm confused about the difference and just want to get one without having to do a dissertation on them. I would really like to try some type of water filtration to go with a dry herb vape because they can get harsh on the throat and water-filtered hits are smoother. How do I find a compatible whatchamacallit without having to read the description of each and every individual item? Or do I have this all wrong and there is some other type of connector that I need to use a vape with a water thingy?
I am hoping someone who has more experience with these things will share some guidance and point me in the right direction.
Any recs for a reasonbly-priced piece, preferably one that is rather rugged such as one that is silicone wrapped since the all-glass ones are rather delicate?
