Cool trick...

I did that last night and didn't know I was doing anything. Good to know I have at least one trick I guess.

 

it's called circular breathing. not the easiest thing to do, but with a little practice anyone can do it.

 

Ya as Inferior Wang said, with a little practice its not that hard a thing to get. As far as i know it orginates from people singing so that they can hold a note for a long period of time. I really like using this when smoking a huge bowl of hash that just keeps on smoking and smoking.

 

I saw a 7 year old girl play a 3 minute note on a trumpet on leno the other night. Toke a 3 min bowl! J/k, anyway you need more time to absorb it, I would think.

 

it comes from musical instruments. aboriginees (sp?) from australia do it with digeridoos. it's also used in more common instruments, but less often.

 

Doesn't the avolei in your lungs absorb 90% of the THC instantly? I read something like that back in the day in a science class...

 

the thc is absorbed in 5-7 seconds. Holding it in any longer and you're just getting more tar stuck to your lungs. If you time the circular breathing right, you could almost keep the smoke in your lungs for 5-7 seconds before it heads back out and is replaced by more.

 

dude i gotta learn how to do that

 

wow, that would be fucking insane! so yea, someone should hook it up with some tips on how to do this circular breathing thing.

 

The digeridoo tequnique requires far less skill than the smoking teqnique of circular breathing. They are basically polar opposites. Digeridoo is in through the nose, out through the mouth, while smoking is in through the mouth and out through the nose...


"The following steps can be used to learn the first steps of circular breathing(digeridoo):

1. Fill your cheeks with air. Breath in and out through your nose.

2. While your cheeks are still filled with air, slowly squeeze out the air by pushing the cheeks by your fingers. Keep breathing through your nose.

3. In a similar fashion, try to slowly squeeze out the air without your fingers using your cheek muscles only.

Repeat each step until you master them with ease."

I have no clue how the hell people can do the opposite of that because theres really no way to hold air in your nose and slowly push it out with your nose muscles.

Anyone know how to do it the smoking way?

 

personally, it's easier for me to do hitting a pipe than blowing into a digeridoo. The easiest way is to puff on the pipe and then take a quick breath in. Start puffing on the pipe again, milking the bowl and breath out through your nose whenever you need to. Half the time I do it without thinking. I'll realize I'm blowing smoke out my nose too soon and have to conciously slow down to make the most of all the smoke going in my lungs.

 

Well yeah its definately easier that way, but Circular Breathing is breathing in and out at the same time continuously.

 

Wow thats freekin amazing. GOT TO learn how to do that. Got to.

 

Yeah, technically. But whatever works.
