Why can't i take big bong hits??

Discussion in 'Apprentice Marijuana Consumption' started by hunterk3193, Mar 8, 2010.

  1. Ive been smoking for about a year now, usually daily.. And i still cant take big bong hits, my friend can take .5 bowls easyy. i can even get down .1 .2 in one hit, i know its pathetic, but why is this? Any techniques i can use to master it. Thanks!!! Yes i smoked out of a bong quite a bit of times, maybe 20- times
     
  2. Try not to pull too hard, if you take it slow you should be fine.
     
  3. wait, you've only hit a bong twenty times!? man bongs will fry you if ur use to smoking out of basically anything else.keept hitting the bong and it will increase your tolerance, but if i were u id be enjoying these .1.2 hits while u can lol
     

  4. +1, Don't try to milk it every time, take your time pull nice and easy, take a few big hits.
     
  5. Breathe Heavy and deeply a few times before your actual rip, then completely exhale al of your oxygen, and make sure your lips are air tight to the bong mouthpiece.
    Inhale at a very slow and steady speed, and continue to do this until you are almost out of breath, and then pull the slide out to clear said bong.
    :wave:
     
  6. Thanks guys!!. Ill just keep breathing it in slowly for awhile, soon maybe i will be able to hit it all
     
  7. I have the same problem.
    What i do is, DON'T milk it, take pretty small hits.
    Remove the bowl and SLOWLY inhale, don't try to take it all at once.
    If you feel a tickle or burn like you're going to cough, stop inhaling and cover the mouth of the bong so the smoke doesn't escape, then finish clearing it the same way.

    No, you aren't a "pussy" if you do that. In the end. Once you finish your bowl, you're going to be just as high as the next guy who snapped his weed in one hit.

    As long as you're gettin' high aye?
     


  8. I disagree, from experience I get a shitload higer when i take one massive hit and be done compared to a lot of small hits. just my input.
     
  9. I always take my hits in one big swoop, otherwise the way I see it, there's little point behind a bong besides cooler hits.
     
  10. What I like to do is milk the tube really good (I've got an 18") and quickly take a breath of fresh air and then clear the tube with fresh lungs. It's real smooth and cuts back the coughing really well.
     
  11. I have been smoking the bong for five years now. I do .5 to .7 one hit bowls. Just suck as hard as you can for as long as you can, I inhale air through my nose if I start to feel like coughing. Also try hitting different pieces, like for instance my glycerine coil inline hits way better than my 18" tube.
     
  12. No, you most certainly are a pussy if you don't milk your bong hits.
     
  13. Why can't you inhale more gas than another individual?

    Because your lungs aren't as voluminous. It's not complicated.

    It's like asking: "Why can large balloon hold more air than a small balloon?" Seems a little obvious to me...

    This may be a result of your physical biology, perhaps you're not allowing your rib cage to expand properly. If there is nothing wrong with your total lung capacity then it is simply a matter of manning up. Train yourself with fresh air, as suggested earlier, with several big breaths before you do it. They're like, practice swings.

    Seriously though, the two of you should expand a balloon so you can see if your lung volume is much lower than his, assuming you two are about the same size and activity level. This could be evidence of a serious health problem that you want to see a doctor about.

    I have massive lungs. I'll clear a 5 footer in a single breath. So for me this issue is something people ask me for help on regularly. Just "will" it.
     
  14. I have found that taking a swig of tea, water, soda whatever im drinking before a rip I can take bigger hits and not cough my lungs out afterwards. I too was a pussy when it came to bongs but in time you build more lung tolerance. Just increase your hits everytime its just like working out and building muscle you have to start small and build up. Now I can milk bongs until the shit turns yellow.
     
  15. if the only reason you're asking this question is so you can out-smoke your friends, you're smoking for the wrong reasons.

    and 20 times isn't much at all. not hating, just sayin' :bongin:
     
  16. Edit to my first post: don't do that hahahhaa oh my god worst thing ever, I can't believe I even said that.

    Do not let the smoke go stale.

    Just take however much you can manage in one hit and eventually you will start taking bigger amounts and you'll get used to it. I take huge hits now, and as you can see, when I posted above 2 years ago I definitely did not take huge hits.

    Also, nice thread revive hahaha this is two years old, and I doubt this guy needs help with this anymore lmao

    :smoke:
     
  17. ...

    Welcome to the city...
     

  18. How I taught my sister

    Best to start small, ive got small little chills bong pack it small, when you light your bong, just dip the flame ontop. SLOWLY Breath in, you dont need much air, Once you have noticed the bowl is lit up like a cherry, start breathing in harder, and harder, youll start seeing the weed fall through the bowl, once its cleared pull the bowl and breath in as MUCH as POSSBILE.

    The biggest issue Ive had teaching people this is they dont remember to Keep oxygen in their lungs to clear the chamber, if your having issues with that, try packing a smaller bowl.
     
  19. You gotta milk it brother. Get that bitch nice and white then pull out the bowl. Using warm water helps alot. Ice does make it smoother, but warm/hot is soothing and allows for massive rips.
     

  20. Pardon my stupidity. but are you being serious .... warm water really
