Need An Explanation On How To Use A Carb On A Pipe?

Discussion in 'Marijuana Consumption Q&A' started by Caliber1, Sep 1, 2014.

    I've looked everywhere, weed forums, videos but everyone is using the carb differently.
     
    Some say -
     
    1. Hold finger on Carb, light and inhale while finger is held
    2. When you finish your hit, let go of the carb and suck in all the smoke in the pipe into your lungs.
     
    But in several videos I've seen -
     
    1.  Hold finger on Carb, light and inhale while finger is held
    2. Frequently open and cover carb to keep the weed lit while inhaling
     
    So what's the difference? What's recommended?

    the first way is how i do it lol. some people tap the carb so they dont inhale too much hot smoke and cough like a bitch

    You'll get a handle on it as you practice using it. Both there are right ways. The only wrong ways to use a carb are to keep holding after you've finished hitting or to not hold it at all.
    You'll get a rhythm with the carb for controlling the size of the lit cherry and how much smoke you inhale. It'll all become second nature the more practice you get.

    holding the carb down just makes it so you're hitting the bowl with suction from breathing in. releasing it makes it so you don't get any more smoke from the bowl. toy around to find whatever you like. either method is the same shit...

    Carb is used as a way off controlling how the bowl burns.  Also for clearing your piece.

    Inhale slowly until you get the bud glowing like a red ball then when it starts to burn your lungs a little, you take your finger off and inhale fast so all the smoke smashes you like a train.

    i usually do the first one to take the green off then the second to keep it going. regardless of how you hit you're inhaling smoke from the weed so you high either way just smoke dood~

    the first way you described is how you smoke when your learning..
     
    the second way you described is how you smoke once you've gotten better at "gotten a feel for the pipe and how it chambers (fills up with smoke)" - and once your lungs have kinda hardened up and you can hold the smoke in better without just coughing like mad (not saying coughing is bad)

    Simple answer: either way you feel like doing.

    The reason the person would repeatedly cover/uncover the carb is to get a smoother hit due to the smoke thinning out. To get a larger, more impactful (may not be a word) hit, you would only uncover when you have the amount of smoke you want in a hit, but you can take multiple hits like that in just one breath if wanted by covering the carb again, which can also be pretty harsh if you're not used to large hits.
