I just started smoking and I use a pipe. Iuse to suck so the flame would touch the herb then i'd puff it to keep it lit. but lately while high i lit it a different way. I held it measurabuly higher sucked and didn't let the flames lick the herb. - it started smoking before I even saw flame -less seems to be used -the toke is so much smoother. has anyone tried this or am Ijust figuring out what the pros do? haha fun fact my first/third (non scared) time was 3 bowls of hindu kush- I was never aware it was so strong lol- i was high for two days
I'll usually do that for the first couple hits then smoke normally. It's like half-ass vaporizing. Works quite well if you know what you're doing and is a better alternative to torching those trichs.
Funny that this happened to me for the first time today...I pulled a little too much smoke because of this haha...I thought I wasn't pulling hard enough so I pulled until it cherried and was slapped in the face with a ton of smoke and no air haha...I need to start watching the bottom of my tube
lol i came in here because i thought you were talking about the lights in your house! the ones you touch to make them go on or the ones where you have to flip the lightswitch. I like the ones where you clap and they go on/off. but to respond to the actual thread. ive never even thought about not touching it with the lighter. i never really torch my bowls anyways but the flame is always licking it.
Good way to burn kief! Try to never put the flame directly on it unless you pressed it 1st, burns too quick.
I agree that this seems to be a very good idea however, just as an observation wouldn't you be inhaling a lot more gaseous particles because of the butane being held down for so long? Just an inquiry Ima try this tomorrow on my bowl, joint for tonite.
(woot woot a successful thread) and ohh i never thought about that....true..how bad are those chemicals?
I just tried it last night. I don't think there is any more gas released in this method than just lighting a bowl regularly because the flame isn't being held longer than usual.
thx for the pro-tip am i getting this right? you just hold the lighter a little higher above the bowl so the flame doesn't quite reach the bud, and that helps to get more thc out? must try this later..
I'm about to go try this. I've always been careful about cornering the bowl with the lighter but I never really thought about the height of it before.
well around here people aren't exactly scientific with their smoking, fucking hillbillys... so quit making me feel like a weed-noob lol
