Hey, I just spent an hr reading the funny stories here. I am not really new to weed, Ive smoked it quite a few times. I've never smoked from a bong unfortunately. I ordered a bong, cant wait to try it out. Ive read about how bongs help filter etc. I have some questions, any sites that help will also be appreciated. I know theres a mouthpiece and a bowl. You put the weed in the bowl light the weed then smoke it. Being that Ive never smoked from a bong before I dont really understand the concept. Do you start sucking threw the mouth piece as you light the bowl, then remove the bowl, or release your finger from the carb, for the smoke to shoot up? I read about bongs that are pull out and carbs. If you had a glass bong and lit the bowl, wouldnt the flames from the lighter mess up the bowl? If you have a bong is "pipe screen" I think its called necessary? Thanks in advance. -Lex
