It's when you only light the bowl in little sections at a time so that you can keep hitting green the whole time. It's a good thing to do when smoking with other people
It's what happens when stoners fail geometry and think circles have corners, since most bowls are round. But yeah, it just means to light from the edges so that you dont expose the entirety of the bowl to the direct flame. you can corner repeatedly in groups, which I prefer to do, or you can use a single cornered light to cherry the bowl and make it last longer. If you torch it all at once youre just wasting THC really.
yup. they call it "cornering" because you keep the flame right on the corner of the bowl so you only light a small portion.
its alot easier to even smoke a bowl with urself if you corner it only dicks torch the whole fucking thing
Yeah I always corner it. I've just found that plenty of people don't and it sucks when your getting dubs but the first person took all the green. Gotta have green the whole time
SO basically it's only lighting the bowl so it doesn't get a cherry. but what if you want a cherry so you dont have to relight? isnt that favorable
generally I'd say no. While its cherried its just burning while no one is hitting it. Thats perfectly good tasty smoke floating off into the room unloved. That being said cornering doesn't prevent cherries...it will just cherry on the side instead of a large section. The bowl cherrying is just a result of how it is packed. If its packed tight enough, but not too tight it will keep a cherry, too loose wont, and too tight wont. Where you light it wont really make much of a difference.
Its good cuz then on every bowl everyone can get greens. Like taking snaps but your not. Then the weed last longer and taste better for everyone.
If you'd like to try to corner your bowls, hold the flame about a quarter to half an inch away from the greens when you light it (angled towards the rim) and inhale as usual. As you intake air, the flame will be pulled down to touch and ignite the greens in a smaller area than if you held the lighter right against the greens. It's more complicated to explain than to try, but it makes hitting a pipe much nicer.
No, it's lighting from the sides and thats it. Whether you cherry it or not depends on how youre smoking. if its a group of people you can do small corners and everyone gets a completely green hit (because they use a different 'corner'), or you can simply use the corner to start your cherry so that it burns horizontally rather than just vertically, increasing the amount of hits you get from the same amount of green. Torching it and exposing all of it to open flame at once is wasteful.
It's what you do when someone hands you a fresh bowl.. It's lighting the corner of the bowl, to save green for the other people hitting it..
