Grind bud or not? (for a bong)

What are the advantages and disadvantages of grinding bud or smoking it in pieces? Which do you prefer and what's the difference?
I'm used to grinding it, so are there any tips to smoking unground bud to get the most THC from it (in regards to the lighter).

Thanks!

For the lighter thing, I was talking about how long you hold the flame on the weed. Actually, I wish I could reword that now hahaha.

this is for soil but you can think of where the weed meets fire is the surface of the weed...

I've never owned a grinder. I usually 'hand-grind' my bud. Bong, bowl, whatever.

Gets the job done.

I grind it up nice and fine.

never owned a grinder, never had a problem

I def prefer unground weed for a bong though, It burns slower and whens its ground up fine it seems to burn so quick and hot I can't stand it.

I use a whole chunk of a nug, with what's left of the stem stuck down the hole in the bowl, and just don't smoke it all the way down into the shrubbery. I think ground weed in bongs burns too fast, ends up in bongfires too often, and seems to make more of a mess of the inside of the bong.

I find it burns better, but I think all bongs goes thru to much..
I have never grinded dank, I always used it on commercial swag..
but i swear by my grinder
