Cones as far as I gather refer to joints. I live in Denmark so I am not up to date on all the US slang and such, but after a little research I am pretty sure that what it means. A bong on the other hand is a device that passes the smoke through water to cool it before it is inhaled. It has a tube you suck from, connected to a jar like structure with water in it and, on the other side, there is a hole to place the pot in. I presume you know what joints are, but just in case, they look like rolled ciggerettes only typically much wider at the top (the end you light), giving it a cone shape. Here is a forum where people share pictures of bongs:

Anyhow there are a number of differences with smoking pot with one or the other (and I speak from personal experience from my misguided youth).
First of all, you can inhale more smoke with a bong than with any other device I have ever heard of. Because the smoke is cool you can fill your lungs like crazy. I never found it a pleasant experience, but it gives you most bang for your buck by far. Bong smoking is usually more intense (similar perhaps to taking shots of vodka rather than drinking beer). You put in a bong head and then take a few long intoxcating breaths. There is one problem with bongs and that is the possibility of getting water in your lungs. Bong smokers often have a nastier, slimier cough than other pot smokers and that is (persumed to be) because water vapour mixes with the smoke and condenses in your lungs.
Joint smoking is a much milder exeperience. Typically, it is smoked just like people smoke cigarretes just with slightly deeper breaths and longer pauses between the time they inhale. Thats one reason it is easily passed around (hence the expression "dont Bogart that joint my friend").
Well thats all I can think of. I would like to add one thing on pot smoking. Typically information on it tends to vary from standard American drug policy (dont touch it, you will eventually die/ go mad/ explode) and the pot smoker- and often also northern European- philosophy (do it all you want, its utterly harmless). This isnt what you asked so I wont elaborate, all I wanted to say was that the truth, in my experience, is somewhere in between.
Well, hope this was of some use to you.
