Proper way to light a bowl

I was reading another post and Dutch Man, I think, was talking about wasting weed if you don't light the bowl properly.

What is the best way to light a bowl? When I'm hitting my bong I make sure to take it slow and now light the whole fucker at once.

Suggestions or tips out there?

By myself there is no proper way. BOMBS AWAY I say...

But if its chron or im in a group I light a side of it. Or half of it it works really well. The flame gets deep down and leaves the other half untouched.

i recommend lighting the side of the bowl (if possible) that way, it burns slower, and more than one person gets the "green hit"

keep it fresh brother.

I've heard that alot of the THC gets burnt away on the first hit, so what I do is hold the lighter about an inch above the bowl I'm lighting. Than I slowly inhale allowing the weed to slowly light up, It's sorta like a vapor hit where you let it heat-up gradually so you don't burn away most of the THC on the first hit. Also hitting one half the bowl allows for a friend to get the fresh THC on the other side of the bowl, sometimes it'll make a ying-yang symbol hitting one half the bowl.:thumbsup:

ya i hate when someone just burns the whole bowl.. cornering is what its called... at least in my area..

Isn't that otherwise known as "cornering?" Perhaps I have me slang mixed up. :(

never heard the term, but if thats it, I've learned something new.:thumbsup:

Great responses! Thanks guys :thumbsup: I always try to only light half the bowl so that it is still green for others, or even just for myself.

I'm glad that someone else knows about the Ying Yang bowl! I love gettin' stoned and looking into the bowl. I've seen Ying Yang bowls, Pac Man bowls, Olive bowls etc.

cornering is a must when in a group
