So I need a few new pieces....

I already have a wonderful, large-bowled, blue and white swirl spoon pipe. I love it and it works wonderfully with me, but it's too big to really easily carring a pocket or to conceal outside of my purse. Until a week ago, I had a small personal bubbler (that I didn't really like). I ended up passing it off to my roommate when she had bad luck with her pieces.

So, after working a few hours this weekend, I have enough to go pick up one or two things from a head shop tonight. I want to eventually collect a very small pipe that can easily be concealed and kept clean in case I need to travel so I don't get para charges. I also want a decent sized bong (last one barely filtered the smoke and it hit SO harshly), a grinder with a pollen collector, and possibly some rolling papers so I can learn how to make a joint.

Or I could just buy more weed. LOL.

Any ideas or suggestions on what to get first? I can always work more, and at $20/hr, it's not bad work for a college student.

buy a new piece and some weed, then work more and buy a grinder and some weed, always buy a new piece of equipment and weed, always.

Ah, I ended up getting a small grinder, a small baby pipe, and a sweet bong that filters very well. The only minor problem is that the bong does not have a slide, so you have to carb it from a hole in the back. But it hits so well. I'm thinking I may let my roommate use this one, since she left my bubbler over at her boyfriends. She's been coughing awfully from the shwag she bought a week ago, and I think this will help her be able to take hits without coughing as much. This time I'll make the rule that she has to keep it here, at our place. No dropping it off at a friend's.

Sorry, I didn't get that reply in time, or I would have waited on the grinder and the baby pipe and bought a few grams of dank. At the moment, I'm fairly well set in that area. I have a little over 1/4th of good dank and 1/2 oz of shwag, so I'm pretty okay for a good while.

I didn't realize when I bought my weed a week ago that buying in such large quantities (for personal use) means that you suddenly never see your dealer at all (because you dont' need to buy any more and you're not close enough to just go hang), and, along with that, everyone you know through him. That's been sort of weird, not seeing them for a week. I could have used this as an excuse to go over there. Oh, well! Perhaps next time.

well if your set then your set, i usually end up not having any come time to get my paycheck so i end up buying a piece and some green, but it seems like your pretty set, i too need to get a grinder, but am debating how much im willing to spend, and that kind of stuff, but there is always tax return money to just spend for no reason.

yeah new pieces aren't always the answer.
My personal philosophy is that you need 3 pieces:

The Bong that stays home
The Glass Spoon or Gandolf or Sherlock that you bring to the party.
The Stealth like the Bud Bomb or Protopipe or Solopipe. Something to travel with.

Any more than that and you're getting redundant.

I'm a big gadget guy though.

Grinder with Keif collector is priority. You don't even need to press it into hash. You can just take a small amount and sprinkle it in your joint or on top of your bowl for a supercharge.

:smokin: becomes :rastasmoke:

Jimmy, I just got a cheap ball grinder. I'm a little OCD, and I have a habit of getting high, taking my weed, and using two fingers to completely crush it to a powder while I'm high and out of it. So, all I really need is something to take the huge buds and stems and such (mostly I smoke chronic, and there's very few stems in it, but as long as their not too unreasonable, I don't mind letting a stem or two in sometimes) and turn it into just really small chunks. Those I can then take and break up even more while I'm high.

So far as being set goes............ I just started smoking about a month and a half ago. During that time, I realized my dealer was getting all of my money anyway, so why not just make one lump payment, get more pot, and admit to myself that it's what I would use the money for anyway. *shrugs* It's not like I regularly have this much on me. :-)

Donsolo, yeah, I agree, pieces aren't always the right answer. However, I just started smoking a month or so ago, and since I handed off the bubbler I didn't much like, I was left with just a glass spoon.

So, lol, I was actually completing the list you laid out. I got 1) the bong that stays at home (it rips wonderfully!) 2) the very small stealthy pipe for on the go. That one is so amazing. I should post a picture of it beside my big spoon pipe. The small one looks almost exactly like a miniature of the bigger one, so I've decided to call that one "Mini-Me."

:-)

nice, and that is what i plan on doing with my tax return money, maybe try to buy a few ounces and keep costs down to a minimum in that area for the next few months, but its nice getting a new piece and being able to smoke out of it that night, the last one i bought i couldnt, but i plan on buying a grinder this weekend actually so i plan on getting a nice one, and trying to get some weed before my paycheck goes to things i cant live without.

You know that pipes leave some uncharted territory...vaporizer

i dont like vapping compared to smoking but i have only met a few people that feel that way

i have:
3 spoons
2 steam rollers
2 bongs
[3.5 foot bong ADS]
[1.5 foot roor]
1 bubbler
1 chillum (one hitter)
5 different bowels that fit both my bongs

i dont think i am redundant i consider my self to be more of connoisseur

I agree with the connoisseur part.

Right now I've got
1 Gandalf (long spoon)
3 metal pipes (solo pipe, protopipe, bud bomb)
1 18" ATX (which is like a local Roor type)
1 30" Acrylic from Matrix
1 6" Acrylic from Matrix (bubble type)
1 12" from Matrix (bent neck)

1 micro bubbler that's a converted vial
1 wood bowl
1 Glass bubbler/hammer type
2 Vaporizers (wood box vapor bros knockoff and old school converted soldering iron)

1 hookah

I want to start up a collection of maybe 5-10 *clean* one-hitters/chillums/small&cheap spoons so that I can just stealthily pack one or two on a visit home, get a few grams there, and then have something cheap and easily disposable once the weekend/week is over and I return to where I currently am.

Due to my disability, I do not have the means to visit headshops in my mother's town. Having a small, cheap, clean implement means that I can travel down with it safely, use it, and then toss it without feeling too bad about wasting money or losing an object that I was attached to.

Ya that is pretty much how i feel i mean why get a pollen press for 20 bucks? you can just like roll with it or sprinkle it on a bowl.


Right now i only have what i really need.

glass spoon
small metal one hitter
and 2 bong(one is a normal glass on glass and the other one is a mini festival bong)
and a pollen collecting grinder.
thats all i need. now i only spend my money on weed and rolling papers lol. :rastasmoke:

man when you press it and smoke it....

then you know why you bought one.

I like to try diff materials though...hense the wood and glass and two types of metal.

Is there really a big diffrence? if there is then i might as well get it since i have a pollen grinder. I normally would keep my kief and roll a normal size joint with it which gets me really high.

well it depends, are you rolling the joint completely out of keif?

If so then no, there won't be a major difference. If you compress .5g and put it in a bowl though...

I think I paid more than 20 for my press but it's a space case...

What I'm doing these days is pressing .25g and puting it in my hot plate type vaporizer.

Very nice, donsolo. :-) I'm glad that you're having a great time, and you're right, pressing .5gm of keif and smoking it sounds GREAT.

I don't know what it is, but there's just something really wonderful about having a new piece, imho. I guess it just must be the consumer in me, but I love having something smooth and clean and new to smoke out of. Also, LOL, I'm realizing that the first pipe I bought was SO big. It's about 5 inches. I have a second, smaller one that about 3.75inches, but they're both hard to conceal, which is why I might buy a few small chillums/bats/really small spoons.

EDIT: In order, from left to right, there is: a ruler, my first pipe (5 inches), my cellphone, the closed tupperware container that I keep my weed in, my small second pipe. and my black ball grinder.

Oh that acctuly sounds really cool to press and vape it. Too bad i don't have a vape i might get a volcano if i get enough money. I ussaly just let my kief sit until it is enough to roll a jay i don't mix it ussaly it is pure kief. If i get a vape then i def need the press then.

Dude, honestly,

This needs to be taken to the vaporizer section for this but there are many reasons why the Volcano might not be the vape for you. I have a vapor bros whip style and I like that a LOT more than the bag method (Though I don't vape off that because I can't get the air to pass over it so easy).

I've had this discussion about guitars. You definitely need a certain quality level in order to have a great result (like Vaporizing compared to smoking) that sounds professional, but that doesn't mean that a 14,000 guitar is going to sound any better than a $1,500 guitar. At that point, it's just about how you play it. The same goes for vaporizers. They seem to range from about 200-800 for quality. Don't just like a vape because of the price tag is my point.

Do stay away from the hot plate design though if you're planning on doing anything but kif pressed.
