Ok so maybe this is the wrong place to post this, and if it is I'm sorry ill delete this is my first time. So I have what's basically a glass bowl, a spoon I guess? It's inside out glass like my bubbler wich is a sherlock(?) style or what they are called (sorry) I love my glass bowl because the grooves all over the inside(to spin the smoke?) they collect tons of resin, which maybe this is a hick thing, but I like cleaning it out and smoking the resin lol But I can't ever get real good hits, and iv seen friends get good pure white hots(milk?) but I have never quite got the hang of it, maybe I'm hitting to slow or fast? No clue. My bubbler is getting pretty harsh hits still and I'm not sure how much water it needs, sometimes it doesn't get the smoke in the water or I get water in my mouth, and I'm having trouble lighting the bowl with out burning my face lol So obviously I need just general advice about hitting and smoking. And once when I was it a circle a kid had this pipe the stem(?) from the bowl to the mouthpiece in this glass pipe it was swirled like a drill bit? I have been looking up online but I can't find anything about it, if its like smoke twirler or curler/spinner? Because you could always get massive pure white hits and I have never found another pipe like that. Maybe I'm using the carbs wrong but idk Again any advice would be awesome an sorry if this isn't were its supposed to be Thanks
Well I think everyone has their own technique of inhaling. It sounds simple to inhale, but I think you just overtime develop a solid way of inhaling, no new(ish) smoker Ive been with could ever get huge hits, so dw it's not just you! With a spoon pipe you put your thumb on the carb, and hold the pipe with the other fingers of that hand. Then with your opposite hand you light the herb. Inhale, until you are near the maxiumum amount of smoke you can take in, release the carb and suck up the excess smoke in the pipe. Tip A: Ground up herb will get you thicker, whiter smoke most of the time. If you're smoking just bud all of your hits will be inconsistent, some will be small some will be big it just depends how the flame hits the bud and how tightly packed it is. If you dont grind your weed, it would be a good time to start. It will burn better, hits will be milkier and you will conserve on weed. + Crystal/kief is fun stuff Tip B. Dont inhale too fast, dont inhale too slow. It's hard to show you without a reference obviously, but you should feel the smoke going through your mouth and into your lungs, and it should be pretty harsh, it is a pipe after all. Your throat should be a bit irritated after the high wears down Tip C. Expand your lungs, and take a second breath! You want to feel your chest get bigger while inhaling, but you also don't want to run out of breath before releasing the carb. So when your lungs are 60-70% full, let go of the carb, clear the pipe and then and take a second breath of just oxygen and let your chest expand real big, almost to the point where you cant take in any more air. This will push the smoke deep into your lungs, along with some oxygen intake to keep you up and about before you run out of breath Hold it in what ever you can handle, 4 seconds seems to be a comfortable amount of time for me. Tip C Exhale SLOWLY. Exhale slowly, let the smoke out of your lungs through your mouth (or better your nose) slowly, don't just blow it out as fast as you can. I hope these tips help! Lemme know if it worked.
Ok thanks that gives me a much better idea, I have been able to use my entire breath that once I use the carb and I get clean air into my lungs I can't suck in anymore at all But before when I started smoking i would always hit everything as hard as possible and sometimes I would puke lol, so I haven't ever been confident on how to hit if its not hard enough or whatever but I think I was going to fast. I haven't ever had bud with crystals or anything the best iv ever had was uncompressed(pretty uncommon locally) and very very moist and fluffy and vibrant green. What's weird is that my throat is always fine after the high and the smoke is usually really smooth, but right after hitting, my mouth and sometimes throat feel really burnt, but once the high goes everything is normal.
