The draw is horrible though. Both lungs full of air are needed just to draw it to my mouth. I see other people do it and it immediately draws to their mouths.
You just need to commit to it my friend.
Pull that bitch and keep pulling until there's nothing left.
I usually breathe in a tiny snip of air before pulling just to have an oxygen buffer in my lungs and to not get completely wrecked by pure smoke, it makes ripping cones much easier.
A freshly cleaned bong is also a million times smoother, try giving yours a thorough cleaning, but in any case $60 will be able to get you a nice bong no worries.
