How exactly do you use a carb on a glass pipe?

    No, i'm not a child, and yes, I tried using the search to find an answer, but I wasn't able to find one that would suffice. So, I understand you get pure smoke when you cover it, and clean air comes in when you let go. I've only ever used a pipe without one, so I don't know if you're supposed to let go after you inhale, or before, or during. I also don't understand what the purpose of it is? Is it to cool down the smoke so it doesn't burn your throat as much? Everyone else seems to just know what they do, except for me.

    So does that mean you're supposed to let go after you finish inhaling? Or does it matter?

    Cover the carb, light it up, while inhaling in "1st gear." This will cause smoke to build up in the chamber. Once the smoke gets thick (which will be pretty quick in the beginning, longer towards the end), release the carb and cool air will rush into the chamber, as the built-up smoke rushes into your lungs. For a less intense hit, you can try only partially releasing the carb as you inhale. The more air from outside that gets in, the quicker the smoke hits your lungs. Keeping it covered and inhaling creates a vacuum effect, sucking the smoke into the pipe chamber.

    like air intake and direct fuel injection in car parts terminology. Closing the hole before allowing gas to accumulate means the smoke won't escape out of the hole while it builds up. When build up is sufficient for air intake, you release the carb and get the chambered smoke as a full shot ready to directly inhale into your lungs. Hold your breath as necessary to enjoy your own skills.

    Sorry I don't get why you need one on a pipe.

    I throttle my carb after lighting the cherry.
