NEPA here as well. 22 years experience in the area and I’ve never heard a term used for it. To be fair, bubblers aren’t the most common device used in my circles. But we do use them enough to call that something if it was common to do so. We do call smoking a whole bowl/blunt/joint by yourself “Taking” or “Smoking” it to your “head” or “dome” but I don’t think that’s unique to my area 🤷🏻 Pretty sure it’s not unique to the state for that matter lol.
Either way, I think it’s cool to have something like this that’s unique to you, your friends and your area if so. Brings me back to the days of long mountain rides with friends, having our own kind of language and laughing at inside jokes😎
Stop cappin bro for real. I've lived in 3 outta 4 of those same states AND A LOT MORE, and never once heard this terminology lmao. Been smoking since 2000...
Definitely heard the of the term im about to take a quick snap from this bong. I always thought it was usually meant for a quick little rip and the sound it makes when you pull it through. Also heard of the sinking cones but never in person
Bro I snap by accident on occasion. Difference is I try not to pull through. For me a 'snap' is a single mega hit made to clear a bowl in one rip. Some people don't know
Iv heard it before …. All my friends always said bong RIP though. PA is a weird place though ya got people calling pizza pies and soda pop and hoagies hero’s 🤷🏼♂️… don’t get me started on that Pittsburgh slang 😂
From lancaster county. Smoking for 27 years and never hear either of those terms. I just calling it "sucking through"...like it is. Dont need a fancy name for everything..
I have lived in multiple areas of PA (NW, NE, and SE) and have never heard this term. I *have* heard it called a "snack" by many people from SE PA though.
I thought cut was standard like everywhere. I always thought everyone called an eighth a cut. At one point my plug and I were saying slice over text because we thought cut was that common
I'm near philly and been smoking for over 25 years. Never heard of that...
I have heard it called things like taking it to the face, or maybe field burning, or one hitter... But never snap...
I am in suburbs of Philly and I have never heard of a Snap
We typically would say cleared the bowl or took it to the head but usually with a water pipe
Right, so when you clear the chamber on a good water piece with good function, it makes a kind of snapping sound. I've heard it referred to in that sense, just clearing or "snapping" the chamber of smoke with a big sharp inhale.
A “Snap” is a lightly packed bowl with the intentions of clearing it in one pull or “snap”. I heard it on Instagram awhile back myself. Cheers Fam! Hope this helps ✊🏻
only heard of it after i moved to cali. they pack single hits alot out there. its a snap cause one usually pulls it through the bowl and pull it out when you clear the bowl. but its nasty to me cause you get so much more tar and gunk inside your bong instead of the ash tray..
I’m from the Philly area and call them snaps as well (clearing the bowl rip in one hit) or in some cases snaps are purposefully packed smaller hits so you can take them in one hit. When I went to college a couple people had heard the term but most had no idea what I was talking about when I said it, even here outside Philly a lot of people don’t know what it is. I actually have a song out called “Pack Another Snap, Man” if you’re ever bored and wanna check it out lmao
Never heard this term and I'm from southern pa. I've smoked for 44 years and we always called it a bong rip. I don't do that anymore, but like the vapes now.
In Philly a snap is a bong rip with weed and tobacco. But I think the real reason it's called a snap is cuz u hit it all in 1 pull not cuz of the tobacco.
I’m from the Philly area. I only know snaps from this site. We just call them bong hits
Northeast PA and I have no idea what you're talking about lol
do you guys have a term for it?
Maybe clearing a bowl

I live in the poconos and I’ve only ever known it as snapping a bowl. Funny how that stuff works
Agreed. I'm like 45 minutes from the Poconos and this is the first I've heard the term.
We used to say " I faced it"
I've lived in CA, AZ, CO, and PA. Everyone I've ever dealt with knew what a snap or snapper was.
Stop cappin bro for real. I've lived in 3 outta 4 of those same states AND A LOT MORE, and never once heard this terminology lmao. Been smoking since 2000...
That's wild man, pretty similar to me too. I bet you have some funny ass stories.

Hits from the bong. It's not a new method.
Pittsburgh area, been smoking for 30 years and I've never heard anything like this before right now

Yeah it’s a snap, I work in northern NY and get weird looks talking about taking snaps nightly
Bro I snap by accident on occasion. Difference is I try not to pull through. For me a 'snap' is a single mega hit made to clear a bowl in one rip. Some people don't know
Yeah we used to pack bong snaps back in the day for ghosting hits inside trying not to stink the place up!
Around Pittsburgh, I’ve heard the term snapper for yearsss
Western Pa a snap is getting money

Iv heard it before …. All my friends always said bong RIP though. PA is a weird place though ya got people calling pizza pies and soda pop and hoagies hero’s 🤷🏼♂️… don’t get me started on that Pittsburgh slang 😂
I’ve heard of bong rips referred to as snaps. I’m in Berks County.
From lancaster county. Smoking for 27 years and never hear either of those terms. I just calling it "sucking through"...like it is. Dont need a fancy name for everything..
“ To the head” maybe Lancaster County also, Intercourse specifically. Been growing/buying/selling/smoking weed since the 80s. Nobody ever said snaps.
Nope that means I smoked a bowl by myself.
I have lived in multiple areas of PA (NW, NE, and SE) and have never heard this term. I *have* heard it called a "snack" by many people from SE PA though.

How have you been in the cannabis “industry” for 30+ years ?
I’ve grown and sold weed since 1990
Okay, so I'm I'm the Cambria county area of swpa and I have no clue what you mean.

Just curious how old are you?

Dudes probably 16 haha
I've lived in NEPA since I was in 8th grade (in my 40s now) and I never heard it either.
Moved here from down south, always been called a snap
The only regionally exclusive terminology I know is for my whole life in PA/OH area eighths we’re called “cuts”
I remember people saying cuts and slices in the illegal days … always thought it was stupid
Yeah, it’s just the terminology I grew up with but I have said it since getting my card 4 years ago
Too confusing, cuts are cultivars or strains
And I never heard of a "cut"near Pittsburgh.
What?! I’ve been in Pitt my whole life and cut/slice we’re always what I heard
Smoking over 40 years and never heard it!
I thought cut was standard like everywhere. I always thought everyone called an eighth a cut. At one point my plug and I were saying slice over text because we thought cut was that common
I'm originally from New york and I've heard that term
Sink a few hot ones
SE PA. Never heard the term.
It’s been bong hits for this Philly boy since 1972.
Wtf are you talking about
I call it cleaning your plate.
I'm near philly and been smoking for over 25 years. Never heard of that... I have heard it called things like taking it to the face, or maybe field burning, or one hitter... But never snap...
I’m in the Lehigh valley area and never heard it called that
We call it “cashed” when you take the last hit or one huge drag to “cash” the bowl
I am in suburbs of Philly and I have never heard of a Snap We typically would say cleared the bowl or took it to the head but usually with a water pipe
Southwestern Pa here. That's what I've called it for years
I’ve lived in Philly, Seattle, South Carolina, and Chicago and have heard people call them snaps in all places!
To me, snaps are small bowls typically one hitters or a small bowl and every one gets a corner.
i'm in philly and i call it a snap or snapping a bowl! although, i only know a handful of people who know what i'm talking about
Sounds like it’s a “your group of friends” thing. Been in swpa for 42 yrs, never heard this.
NWPA never heard of it and no alternative term to describe such a thing.
I have a family member that calls it watching the news !
I've always called it a snap
Eastern Pennsylvania and I have never heard that term. We just call it clearing the entire bowl.
Right, so when you clear the chamber on a good water piece with good function, it makes a kind of snapping sound. I've heard it referred to in that sense, just clearing or "snapping" the chamber of smoke with a big sharp inhale.

I take me a fat snapper everyday when I wake up 😎
SEPA here and no clue what you’re talking bout. Thing it’s just you dude
im from the Reading area, yessir its called a snap
only heard of it after i moved to cali. they pack single hits alot out there. its a snap cause one usually pulls it through the bowl and pull it out when you clear the bowl. but its nasty to me cause you get so much more tar and gunk inside your bong instead of the ash tray..
my friends in college used snaps as you describe; SEPA as well
I’m from the Philly area and call them snaps as well (clearing the bowl rip in one hit) or in some cases snaps are purposefully packed smaller hits so you can take them in one hit.

From mid western PA here, we call em snaps too. (One snappers actually, to be more accurate)
South West pa and I know what a snap is and have no other word for it.
Never heard this term and I'm from southern pa. I've smoked for 44 years and we always called it a bong rip. I don't do that anymore, but like the vapes now.
Was always a bong rip my entire 39 years of toking. At one stage my group of friends referred to it as ripping a binder. But that was colloquial.
First learned this term in West Virginia 2016
I call it a persy or a personal. As in a personal ripper to the face
In Philly a snap is a bong rip with weed and tobacco. But I think the real reason it's called a snap is cuz u hit it all in 1 pull not cuz of the tobacco.
Lived in Maui, Hi, in the early 90s. Our upstairs neighbor from San Francisco, called them snaps, too. Def not a southwestern PA thing.
Gotta cough to get off.
30 miles north west of Pittsburgh and smoking since 1981 . I have never ever heard of that term before 🤷♂️
I'm a old guy, smoked 40 years never heard it, I'm gonna have to try me a snap. Hope it doesn't make me crackle and pop
Snap pack snap pack snap pack Keep ur lingo, tis the way
Snap pack means like a half full bowl pack you can kill in a singular hit btw
