How to smoke a chillum (the traditional way)

Just made a little video showing everyone how to properly use a chillum. I see many people ask this question on these forums and I haven't found one tutorial on youtube or anywhere else, so I thought I'd be the first. enjoy!

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyQ4Lot-Hig"]How to smoke a chillum (the traditional way) - YouTube[/ame]

unfortunately I don't have any weed to smoke haha, so I couldn't demonstrate that part. But i think most of you got that covered


And heres a quick photo tutorial for an alternative method:

1. Place chillum on left hand





2.Hold chillum in a fist-like grasp



3. Place right hand under the left hand, creating air-tight seal



4. You see that space between your hands? That's where you're gonna inhale from, NOT putting your mouth on the mouthpiece of your chillum but instead a couple inches away from it, but your lips still touching your fingers. Adjust either hand as needed until you find a comfortable position with your hands.



Your end result should look something like this:



Traditionally, you wrap a piece of cloth around the bottom or mouthpiece of the chillum to act as a filter.

I don't have a chillum, but I might get one in the future. How come you don't inhale from the mouthpiece? Is it wrong to do that, or is it just a different way of hitting it?

good tutorial, i just smoke my chillum straight (crackhead) style.

its easier than fiddling with my hands.

Though an old blade tought me how a few years ago, I had searched and searched for another tut online to make sure I am doing it right. Thanks

You can if you want. Like I mentioned in the video you can also use it like you would light a cig. But the proper way to use it is to have the mouth piece in your fist, and make an airtight seal with both hands so that the inside of your hand is like an extra chamber for the smoke to pass through.

Its just a different way of hitting it, you can do it however you like but this is the "right" way to use it.

Yeah its easier if you use it regularly. Its really just a personal preference.

No problem man! I looked online too and I didn't find a tutorial or guide anywhere. Thats the reason why I made one myself!

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing it up

Nice, this was needed! -goes to closet to get chillum-

I recently smoked this way with my dad and his old hippie friend. But this is my chillum and it just hits like a regular pipe

Whoa nice piece dude. It looks like you'd have a bit of a problem hitting it this way though since its so wide right?

It tapers off a little at the end. You're smokin out of his butt but it's whatever haha

Hahaha omg, the design is genius. I can just imagine it right now.

"Hey dude, pass that shit."
"Yeah, sure thing. Just hit it right through his asshole."

nice tut! I usually smoke mine straight because I usually can't have cannabis scented hands, but this way is great especially when your smoking up a buddy who's sick.

Misunderstood your question but yes I cannot hit my chillum the way you do in the video. The one I smoked in this style was very long and carved out of wood

Thanks man this guy is one of my favorites. I smoke with my dad on the rare occasion but i'm glad he's on my side haha. If your dad ever smoked in the past there's a good chance he will in the future
