Cherrying when toking alone

    I seem to be doing what you guys would call "torching" the bowl of my bubbler. I smoke alone usually, and i notice when I try to corner the bowl it doesnt cherry at all. Then when I light the top almost the whole bowl cherries.. While I take huge hits this way, while I'm holding it in all the smoke from the bowl is going out wasted. I read something about people using their lighter to put it out. Does this actually work? And anyone have other tips for conserving weed when smoking by yourself?

    Yeah, smoke less.

    PRO TIP: LOAD PERSONAL BOWLS, Each person preferes a different sized hit... and also REAL stoners always load fattys and finish em in 1 hit ;)

    If you don't want to waste any by cherrying. Just put in one hit at a time and clear it.

    My favorite technique it doesn't cherry it but you get hemp string covered with bees wax and you wrap it around your lighter with a piece hanging off the end to light and just hold it on your bowl its a lot nicer rip without butane :smoke:

    Using your lighter does help put the flame out; you're squishing the air out from inbetween the weed. Just be careful: if you don't have a screen, the weed at the bottom of the bowl has a tendency to be pushed through.. at least in my bong :\ However, it's not a perfect thing, a really good cherry's still gonna go. As has been mentioned, try loading with fat one hitters if you're looking to conserve weed.

    Just remember it leaves black marks on your lighter!

    Definitely only pack one-hitters, that way, you hit all greens everytime.

    When I blaze alone I just pack single tokes, best way to make sure you don't waste weed by cherrying. But, honestly, cherrying doesn't even waste that much weed at all, so it barely matters.

    but dude while im holding my hit in the cherry still burns and the smoke starts rising from it and it looks like if someone else was with me theyd prob be able to hit it. ill try putting the cherry out and doing single hit bowls

    You really don't have to hold in the hit that long; 95 or so % of' the THC is absorbed into your lungs in the first second after inhalation. Sometimes I'll breathe in extra air after I'm done pulling, but I'm not sure if that actually does anything either.

    I just like breathing :cool:

    pack snaps, or take bigger hits and just put the cherry out.

    I learned to smoke by extinguishing it every time.
    It makes it slightly less smelly when using a sploof, and it does preserve the taste somewhat as it is not getting really hot and burning unevenly.
    Cornering bowls is good manners when smoking with others, but you can do whatever you want by yourself ;) Those big tasty green hits are sooo good.

    If your that worried about wasting the lil amount you can just put your hand over the bowl. itll put it out and you can still smoke the rest trapped in the pipe

    This. Just put your hand over the bowl, no oxygen no cherry

    Torching your weed makes some of the THC become inactive.

    So don't torch your green.

    The lighter works but Resins up the bottem of the lighter. Get a coin, kill the bowl with the coin at the end of each hit to avoid the problem stated..

    Well taking that last little breath of air will get any smoke that's in your throat still into your lungs so it's not a total waste like holding in your hits.
