    Okay, I am an experienced smoker and I know truly the most efficient ways we have to smoke your bud are good bong rips/vaporizer and that's how I smoke mostly. Though, I really love my J's, and the short real answer to the best and only way to smoke them is however you most enjoy the experience which is how I always have and will smoke. Although I'm a bit nerdy and wonder about what is actually to most efficient with J's, taking normal hits holding 2-5 seconds or so there is less time for the J to burn up between hits or take good big hits and hold them in a while in get the most out of each hit, but probably get less hits overall
     
  2. Hold it in, regardless of method smoked.

    Don't smoke like Bill Clinton. Smoke like Nixon!

    well yeah I mean I always hold any hit in for a good few seconds aside from a monsterous dab. but I mean like really ghost each hit, which lets the J just burn up in the air for 10-20 seconds or so between tokes, but get the most out of each and every hit, the downside is you get less hits; or take your normal hits you hold for like 3-6 so you inhale more of the J and less burns up between hits.
    So I guess the simplified question is: a little more hits, but absorb a little less per hit, or a few less hits, but get everything out of each one?
    I know It doesn't matter too much, and won't change how I burn, it's just thoughts my high nerdy ass have while baked as hell lmao
     
  4. Most of my pulls get exhaled prematurely to try to avoid coughing. But if it pulls smooth, I normally don't hold more than 6 or 7 seconds. No science.. just natural instinct I suppose.

    Same here, I typically just enjoy my smoke like any other, not trying to get baked I just puffing and enjoying my good green and getting ripped is the byproduct. The question is really just a high thought for maybe the science side of the site(if there is one like most forums, new here lol) or if anyone knew which way actually gets more thc into your blood haha. I know the real answer is the best way to smoke a joint is the way you enjoy it, which is how I'll always smoke!:)
     
  6. Inhaling the smoke....

    @Sade's right. Smoke it the way YOU feel is right for you. 8 seconds, 10 seconds, whatever, hell, it may not be consistent each time you smoke. Just go with what feels right. If you gotta count, you're doing it wrong. If you lost count, you're doing it right..hahahahah

    To conserve the weed, you could put it out after few hits, so it doesn't "burn"...but that's semantics.

    Big hits vs small hits. It all gets put your body. Small hits over longer period theoretically would allow you to possibly save on the amount smoked. Big hits (with coughing) could you you higher because the coughing can actually increase your high. Too much thinking.

    I'm more a bong smoker, and if I smoke multiple small bowls vs big bowl, I get less waste of half-ashed stuff. If i smoke a phat bowl, yeah I'll prob get higher then I'll have to open another jar, because I just smoked 2oz in like a week. lol.

    A joint is always burning, so it really comes down to, how you feel if you want big or small hits. The burn rate will increase the bigger hits you take. I dunno. Just smoke one for me until I find out about my drug test/job opportunity. Take a phat rip for me.

    Guys I know you inhale your smoke deep and hold it for a bit I've been smoking since I was 13. I'm just new to the site, not at all to being a stoner, like I said, I will always smoke my smoke whatever in the most pleasant way to smoke it is, which varies from bud to bud some is best in a bowl or bong, others are nicer rolled up, and if it's nice tasty buds there is no way but a good vaporizer, but no matter the way I always just chill be happy and enjoy the process as much, or most of the time more than, the result and don't actually worry about efficiancy or the technical stuff while I'm smoking. Just have my high nerdy side that gets curious, not asking to change my ways haha
     

  9. That's the important thing. As long are you enjoy it, and it fulfills you, your life, happiness, etc.

    But, if you really want to test it. For one day, smoke small hits from a joint. The next day, do larger hits, and compare. Notice if there is any increased burn time on the joint i.e. joint lasts longer. Note if you are higher or not vs smaller multiple hits vs phat bomber hits--or about the same. I really don't know.

    I will take a few for you and I wish you good luck. And like I said I always just smoke however I enjoy and always will, an answer to this question or any other is never gonna change that, but I can get a bit nerdy at times too and was just curious if there was really any way to know which way
    got more thc into you from a J. But nothing will ever change that I smoke how I enjoy to smoke, and I don't worry myself about that stuff while toking. And if I am trying to conserve I'll usually do snappers, just a lil bowl enough for one big ol' full hit and I'll hold it long as I can without dying coughing too hard. and a gravity bong is efficient the same gets you crazy ripped off just a little bit, but I generally only force that mean lung buster upon newbies and people who've never hit one before for a good show haha, since I have been slain by that thing many many times, I like to pass the pain to them lol
     
  11. People put way too much thought into stuff like this.

    Smoke it
     
  12. Yep I guess I'll have to take one for the team and smoke a few joints now lol
     
  13. I am just smoking it like normal, always have always will I don't overcomplicate it, and I still won't Change how I smoke really even if someone proves it is a lot more efficient one way or another. I'll still pack my bowls, roll my J or an L, and scoop up my big ol' dabs, and simply enjoy them how I please, and I don't actually try to overcomplicate when I'm smoking just happened to think about this whilst stoned and figured I probably wasn't the only one to have that thought process, and that someone here might have tested my question before. It's just out of curiosity
     
  14. You're over thinking it bud.

    Just smoke it

  15. A. Hippie once told me you have to inhale the smoke that comes off the cherry side after you take your puff. Lol you will see what I mean next time you smoke one. Good stoner logic. Hahah

  16. Like I said in the other at least 4 or 5 posts Im not worried about smoking efficianctly myself, I always just chill and burn and have fun with and enjoy the bud. Just had the thought and thought some really smart sciency guy on here might actually know something about it and I'd satisfy my curiosity rather than just,people just telling me to do what I already do. The question is not to change mine or anyones ways, just wanted to know if anyone knew anything(statistic, personal trials, etc) about the differences smoking techniques if there really is any different because I had the thought and I like to learn things, but I'll always just enjoy my green just like before
     
  17. It’s fine to think out loud and hear responses.
     
  18. Well you have two basic choices but after some experimentation you can adventure off on your own.

    You can either...


    OR



    It really just depends on your mood. :D

  19. Most efficient way is to boof it. Give it a try sometime.

    The whole "most efficient way to smoke" always makes me laugh. No matter if you take long puffs or short puffs doesnt really matter. All the good stuff is absorbed almost instantly so holding your breath for an extended period of time just makes you light headed, not higher

    Just smoke it
     
  20. There is no efficient way to smoke it. You're wasting most of it. Eat it. Simples.
