Carb on left or right?

All of my pipes with carbs have them on the right. I'm right handed, so when I hold it with said hand, my thumb does the job for me. Left is for lighting.

 

Carb placement would not affect my purchase of a piece unless it was in a really akward spot. But left or right no preference. left here

 

I feel you. I couldn't give ANY less of a shit. Unless it's in some obscure ass pointless awkward useless spot..

 

My bubbler has a carb on the right side, but I prefer the left. Don't use the bub much.

 

I use my friends pieces. I prefer the carb on a pipe to be on the left. Im right handed, so I like to use my right hand for the lighter and I also like to use my thumb for the carb. With bongs its reversed, I hold the bong with my right hand and light with my left. Though, once again I still prefer the carb on the left so I can use my thumb.

 

All of that makes perfect sense.

 

I really don't have a preference for carb placement as the natural way I hold a pipe, I'll cover it on both. Thumb for the left, index for the right. I just have to move a different finger. But for the most part, the carbs ive used are on the left, but I've hit quite a few right sided ones too.

 

I prefer the carb on the left side of the bowl. I always light with my right hand, so it makes it easy to just use my thumb.

 

it doesnt really matter to me. as long as i can grip it comfortably im not very picky about what side the carb is on.

 

I like them on the left cus I light with my right

But it dosn't matter
Left I'll use my thumb on the right I'll use my finger.

 

All of my spoons have the carb on the left. I always thought it was so you could light the bowl with the right hand, so I guess I understand why you would have one with the carb on the right, for lefties.

I do like its placement, but it wouldn't matter to me if it was on the other side. If/when I buy pipes, I prefer a carb, but it isn't totally necessary. If the pipe is good-looking but doesn't have a carb, I'd still buy it. I buy pipes based mostly on looks and size, depending on its usage. For me, pipes reflect my personality in a way.

I won't ever buy a bong with a carb, though. It has to have a slide. I don't want to bust a lung trying to clear a bong.

 

I like my carbs on the left, it just feels more natural.

 

On my pipe, it's on the left side. Although i wish it was on the right side cause i spark it with my left hand.

 

i prefer bongs with no carb.

and with pipes i prefer it on the right side of the bowl, so i can grip it easily and just hop my index finger on and off it while i light with the right hand

 

I have a carb on the left side of my chest, I use my mouth for the bowl.

 

Mine is on the right side. If you hold the pipe in your left hand, your index finger will cover the carb.

I love the placement. I do not like thumb carbs. I look at it this way; your hand is essentially a pincers. One side is made up of your four fingers, and one of your thumb. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me to release one entire side of your grip when you could release 1/4 of one side.

I realize the the pads in your hand/palm come into play, but I'm set in my ways.

 

Very interesting piece. I'd like to see that in action. Just curious, where do you exhale out of?

Nevermind, I don't even want to know which orifice you're exhaling out of.
