[POLL]: What Side Is Your Carb On?

[WDT]Lateralus · #1 (**permalink**) 06-14-2003, 08:39 PM

I have noticed while smoking various pieces that the side on which the carb is located varies randomly. At first I thought it was for right vs. left-handed smokers, but I don't know anyone offhand that is left-handed yet some are their pieces seem to be designed for lefties.

Here's how I hold my pipe while toking, as you can see I am right-handed, and it is quite comfortable to have the carb on the right side:

So, please respond to the poll, and reply with your left or right-handedness, and we'll get to the bottom of this

My friends with glassies all have carbs on the left side. Mine is on the right. I like it better on the left because I light right handed even though I'm left handed. All the bongs I make actually have the carb on the right side so that you can get it with your thumb when you grab the bottle. I don't know what to vote. Mebbe there should be a both option.

I think left side is defenitely better for right-handed people because if you light with your right hand and hold the pipe in the left you can easily use your thumb to operate the carb.

i use my index to use it, and mines on the left.
I think i can manage lighting with either hand though, and usinga carb with any finger

You mean the front... the back is where you take a hit from.

My carb is on the left and i like that. I'm right handed. But it doesn't really matter were the carb is. I use a medal bowl most the time anyways so i rarely use carbs. Most the people i know though have carbs on the right.

Why do you use metal more than glass if you have glass?

D9_THC · #11 (**permalink**) 06-15-2003, 02:50 AM

no. it's on the back.

the bowl is on the front. and the carb is in the same place bu the opposite side. therefore. back.
