I often use them when I don't have papers wraps pipes or anything but is it wasteful? They work pretty well Sent from my iPod touch using Grasscity Forum
I think joints are a bigger waste of herb than an apple! To me your best bet is a water bong even if it's a fucking gatorade bottle! You get smoother and longer hits! The only advantage to an apple is you can eat it!!!
no way, waste has got to be the same as a normal pipe, if it's made right. love apple pipes, great toking tool
not a waste unless u make it wrong. once i didnt make the holes right and i burned my weed and didnt even get high that much. but then the other day i made the holes bigger and different and i got soooooooooooo high. i was a goner.
a common mistake I see noobs and oldtimers make...they cut out a bowl... the spot with the stem...it IS the bowl..it is a natural one hitter...don't remove the skin there, just poke a small hole through to the hole you core out for the mouth parts 'stem' ...the skin will keep the bud from getting all wet from apple juices.
I always carved my own bowl on apple pipes, then again i never made the bowl where the stem is either
Ah, the good old apple pipe. First time I got high (smoked a gram by myself - oops!) I smoked through an apple pipe. It is a bit messy, but then again, you can eat the evidence afterwards and it provides a fresh, juicy, immediate after-smoke snack. Wouldn't say it's a waste. Like most other pipes, really. True, you can make it in such a way that it is harder to take a proper drag, but experiment with it and find the sweet spot for you. I think it gives the smoke a nice little apple taste/smell, even if it is a placebo.
So long as the apple pipe has been made properly and the smoker doesn't mind the temperature of the hit, it works just fine and is equally effective to a normal pipe. I like to use a green apple
This brings back so many memories, this is what I smoked out of the for the first time. I always used a metal socket for the bowl so I could get bigger hits, and not once has a nice apple pipe failed to deliver.
