depends on tolerance how much you usually smoke the quality a lot of factors, but they can be pretty cool and there portable so thats a plus I guess ita all about what you want and what works with your lifestyle/who and how many people you plan of tokin with
I would say for a novice smoker a hand pipe would conserve bud, knowing when I watch some of my friends take a bong rip they exhale immediately to cough... If you know how to rip it a bong can be beneficial, nice milky hits.. Joints can waste a lot of weed too, it just depends if you know how to roll or not, if you roll it tight enough you couldn't even notice a difference. Another plus about pipes though is they're portable, (easy to conceal), inexpensive (compared to most bongs), and you will save some weed...
Generally speaking, a bowl of any kind generally uses less weed to achieve a given high. I'm not sure why this is but I find joints are grossly inefficient at getting you high. However, the simple pleasures of smoking a joint can far outweigh the will to conserve weed. As far as glass pipes go, I don't think carb or no carb makes a difference. I don't even use the carb on my spoon pipe (I just, you know, move the pipe away from my lips). If you are looking to conserve bud, I suggest the following (in order of my perceived efficiency) : Knife rips / Spots Bongs / Buckies One Hitter Hand Pipe
Start using the carb.. It makes it easier to ignite the weed by making sure you're pulling oxygen only through the top of the bowl where the weed is. You can surely mix it up and have you own style with it, but the carb is meant to be held as you light the weed (you only need to touch the weed for a minimum amount of time, not 5 seconds... then once it is lit, inhale as long as you want and when you want to stop the hit take your finger off the carb and inhale the smoke that is in the chamber (your hit). Some smoke will still manage to get inside your mouth/possibly lungs before you take your finger off of the carb. The carb hole allows the hit to be smoother because you're drawing in oxygen as well the weed smoke.
I think pipes are one of the most efficient ways to smoke because its so direct. Joints keep burning even when you're not hitting it and a little THC gets absorbed by the water in a bong. Joints and bongs are still fucking awesome and can get you high as fuck. For a newer smoker though, a pipe is the perfect smoking device
When you leave it to cherry its the same as a joint burning when your not hitting it. The whole idea of the carb hole in to get all of the smoke left in the pipe and it cools the cherry
Hes talking about not taking hos finger off the carb so its basically like a bowl without a carb. How the fuck would you get any smoke trying to light it with the carb wide open? THC isn't water soluble, simple as that. As for a joint getting me high as fuck it would take at least twice as much as i would smoke out of a pipe if not 3 times as much. Any time i roll a joint its over .7 because if not theres no point, i roll perfect inside out joints too so it has nothing to do with the roll its just inferior. I do however love smoking joints im just not made out of money
@[member="SupaaBaked"] How are you so sure? He says he doesn't use the carb. That would imply he doesn't touch it. Sounds ridiculous but it's a smaller leap to make than assuming what you said from what he said in his post. THC isn't water soluble, but it doesn't need to be dissolved by the water to lose THC from the water. As the smoke is cooled by the water THC particles fall out of the smoke and don't make it into your lungs. If you keep using the same water until it is actually disgusting it is bound to have a fair bit of THC in it.
Well yeah its called resin lol. Some of the thc is goin to stick to the glass regardless of the smokikg device but thc isnt going to stay in the water. Im not sure if other cannabanoids are water soluble but i would assume they aren't. The guy said he just moves the pipe away from his lips. I dont see how you're getting that he isn't using it at all, i dont even see how it would be possible to smoke like that.
Well yeah but when I say tiny amount I mean like so tiny it probably won't make a difference. Whether the thc is lost due to some weed falling into the bong water or say some ash got caught etc. You probably wouldn't want that stuff in your lungs anyways. But you still lose a teeny tiny bit regardless,
