a chillum is pretty simple.. a bowl.. and at the other end is a mouth piece... you light one end and inhale through the other... stop, pack, repeat.

its just a pipe that isnt curved up at the end its just a straight pipe with a bowl at the end... sometimes necessary to tilt bowl end up to keep from losing any nuggage when lighting

arent you supposed to hold it vertically. isnt that the whole purpose of a chillum? why would anyone want a pipe where they couldnt see the bowl they pakced. it WOULDNT BE MANUFACTURED. there has to be a reason or advantage to the design of the chillum. cuz thats just stupid
verticall? that would be hard and uncomfertable to light.... plus i bet it would be easier to see horizontaly

you make a prism with your hands and stick the chillum between fingers of one hand. look it up.

You use it exactly the way you'd use a pipe...

Cup your hands and sitck it through your hands, those are small pipes and you risk burning any hair on your face if you dont use the hand technique.

if you just put the chillum in your fist so the mouth piece is coming out your thumb side and the bowl pack the other. you cant really see the pipe so when your at a concert you can sneak a toke pretty damn well and it is pretty hard for people to notice. dead heads have been doing it for 30+ years

Depends how big of a chillum ya got. Liek a real chillum made out of clay, bone, stone, etc. that has the big old hole inside the bowl needs a chillum stone instead of a metal screen, can be bought online and at alot of shops. Those types are made for packing large amounts into the bowl so it holds the stone in place.Otherwise if ya got a glass one, pack it and burn it!

The way I used it, was one of my smokin buddies dads from 1976 haha, and you roll a joint/blunt fat enough then stick it in the top hole, and spark it in there, bring the smoke in there nice until your ready to take a big hit.
Works awesome

You've got it right.
I'm pretty sure it's like the old rasta ceremonial way to do it, you don't ever touch the pipe with your lips, you cup your hands with the chillum stickin straight up, and then suck through your hands. I've never tried it myself, just seen other people do it and it's been in some books I've read.

i usually hold it almost like a cigar, mostly with two fingers, but support with the thumb. light, inhale, repeat.
it's really not much like a pipe because chillums dont have carbs to clear it, so there will always be a bit of smoke left over inside...

heres mine:
Its a beauty from nepal, it will stretch weed so much further than paper.
I just keep it along with a benz for my private stash.
Oh and you just stick a nug in the end and toke. Theres a wooden cone filter, old school.

so are chillums better than regular pipes? if so what makes them better?

well, as its said, chillums are smaller and more direct.. so the smoke doesnt have much of a chance to cool before i hits your lungs.. hotter air absorbs quicker, better, faster.

I thought it was just like cigarette.
You pack it in then you light it and it keeps a light like a joint then you smoke it.

yea u guys theres a difference between chillums and bats. a real chillum is a ceramonial piece, cone shaped. where you pack smoking herbs (weed hash baco whatever) then smoke holding it in ur hands like someone else said without actually touching ur mouth to it.
a bad is like what some dude said. looks like a chillum but u smoke it like a joint.

You arent too far off but allow me to elaborate since my group of friends and I are all avid chillum/pinch users. Chillums can come in any shape or size not just cone shaped altho mine happens to be a perfect straight line about 4 inches with a diameter of about .5 inches. The indent at the opposite end of the mouthpiece is where you pack the weed/hash whatever your pleasure. Usually you throw a screen in there (more resin sticks to the screen, I've found) Anyway you light it once and the idea is it stays lit so you can puff puff pass til that shit is ash. The chamber the smoke passes through can either be narrow or wide depending on who created the particular unit you are using. Pinches are unique that's what makes them so nice. They're very portable and easily hideable.
Bats on the other hand are skinny little pieces no longer than 2 inches and no wider than .1 inches. Some of them are made to look like cigarettes but the difference is you get max 5 hits out of them depending on how much weed you cram in there. Bats, unlike pinches, do not stay lit which makes you question why anyone would believe that its actually a cigarette. They are highly ineffective however they can be transported with mad ninja skillz so no one will notice and theyre easy to smoke on the street at night with.
thats pretty much all. ima go roll a j:rasta:

ive got one of the cig shaped one, but no way can it hold 5 hits. one max, maybe 1.5. it works great, just don't get a metal one, mine is quartz and it isn't ineffective, it conserves great but i wouldn't use it to get blown, but when smokin alone it's good

Rules of the Chillum.
1) The one who packs the chillum is not the one who lights the chillum.
2) Your mouth may NEVER touch the chillum
3) Always pass the chillum to the right.
4) The mouth piece of the chillum is cupped between two hands forming a closed prism so that the smoker may inhale the smoke without touching the chillum with his lips.
5) A match is struck by a second party
6)The smoker must puff violently to ignite the chillum adequately
7) The chillum must be cleaned after every bowl.
