Sorry for the stupid question but how many hits should be taken from a avg. size glass pipe? After the first hit, the weed at the top turns black and the hits after that start to burn a little.
I'm new to marijuana so forgive my rookiness. :stoned:

If its a pretty well packed bowl, i'd say about 5 good hits, but after that there is still more but it just tastes pretty bad. Once it starts to get really ashy on top and the hits taste really bad and come out small, it's beat.
Pipes give you a lot of smoke and are probably the most efficient way of smoking your cannabis, but if the smoke hurts your throat too much after the first hit, I would suggest investing in a bubbler or bong. Bubblers are smooth and more convenient than a bong, but there's nothing like a huge bong rip.
I like to pack just enough for one hit at a time. You get nice clean green hits :)
I want a bong so badly but I don't want my family finding out I use marijuana. Can't imagine where I would hide a bong in my room or even explain to my mom what it is if she found it. :(
Ditto...invest in a grinder, and pack two-ish hits bowls. That way you always get a green hit:jointsmile:Quote:

I like to pack full bowls, so I can see how well the bud burns. For me I smoke it all the way down to when you can tell the next hit will be beat, that way you dont get any bad tasting hits.
Hit it till it's ash
it's so funny, i've noticed such a preoccupation with "number of hits" from new smokers. my boyfriend, when he first started smoking, would try to describe his experience to me by the number of hits he took. "i got really high, i took like 6 hits" or "i wasn't stoned or anything, i only took 2 hits". i had to explain that the number of hits doesn't describe anything to me.
but alas, the number of total hits in a bowl is determined by a.) the size of the bowl, b.) how much weed is packed into said bowl, and c.) how potent and/or dry the consistency of your weed is.
you can pack a bowl the size of king-kongs ding-dong, but if your weed is dry as fuck, it may be gone in as many as 3 hits. but if you pack a 1-hitter w/ some fluffy, thick, potent goodness, you may get 3 or 4 hits out of it.
my advice would be to give up worrying about how many hits you're taking. if you're thinking of buying a bowl or a piece, and are worried that it may not be the right size for you, just remember that you can always pack another bowl if you run out too qucikly, or if you get a huge bowl (king kon style) you can always just pack a 2-ish hit.
if what you're worried about is not having "enough hits" to go around while entertaining, i pull out my Refill-the-Bowl card one more time. It may even give someone else an opportunity to pack the bowl.
But one thing I've learned in the last 5 years of smoking is.. the number of hits you take does NOT determine how high you get... 1 hit is all it takes for me sometimes, even when smoking regs. sometimes it's just that 1 hit to change my state of mind, and that's all im looking for. doesn't mean im high, or stoned, or baked. but i definitely am not in the same state of mind i was a second ago.
You will know when to stop by the taste
haha thats what i do i got my bong on top of my dressor with sum fake flowers and i said my girl gave em to me hahaQuote:

also when i smoke i get some ash and shit in my throat... any way to prevent other than screens??
it's all preference
i know a couple of VETERAN smokers who only smoke greens (the first hit or 2 of the bowl)
i personally just smoke bowls to myself, usually i pack them full, if it is some CHRONIC then i will pack myself a popper (one hit) bowl and enjoy the taste of the greens but its definitely a personal choice
theres nothing wrong with smoking the burned buds, until its white theres still smokeable material in there
what i do is break off a "plug nug", which is a piece of weed thats bigger than the hole at the bottom of the bowl.then after i pack that in, i put ground up weed on top or just break it up finer over the plug nug.Quote:

amen especially with the bong
pack snaps for life
Get a vaporizer and never have to worry about bad taste, in fact you get MORE taste, more THC, and multiple uses for your bud...those are just facts, not opinions. Plus you're saving your lungs and don't have to worry about coughing. Just playing devils advocate.:hippy:
Yeah then when you start growing you can tell her your furthering that interest.:DQuote:

If you remove the whip, a Vapor Brother's looks rather like a funky little electric pencil sharpener. I once joked with the hubby that I could easily make a small plate to fit the opening, get some stick-on letters, and just disguise the VB as a "Sharp-o-matic pencil sharpener" and we could leave it in plain sight.
Actually, it is an excellent investment. It is totally silent and will fit into many drawers. Vaping is MUCH easier on the lungs. It smells way less than smoking. It uses less than smoking and you can keep sucking on it for more hits per load. Since the cannabis is not destroyed, the (non-psychoactive) THC-A has time to be transformed into good old THC! :D What is left over is not worth smoking (harsh), but it is an nice addition to brownies. Yes, you can get high a second time off your weed!
There are several good studies on vaporizing vs smoking, just click the link in my sig and scroll down to the bottom of the post for about a half dozen of them.
And the "lookalike" vaporizers that sell for half the price? Well the ones I've seen are junky and frankly, they stank- they reeked of a strong "plastic" smell.
The VB, on the other hand, seems well built- 3 years of daily use, so far and it has been knocked off the table quite a few times. If you can't afford a Volcano (top of the line vaporizer), a VB is a fair choice.
Granny :hippy:
I would just smoke smoke smoke till you cant taste and smoke. This is usually where I drop the bowl. Sometimes there is a lil' green on the bottom of the bowl packed weed, but you can seperate that and smoke it. Enjoy you stoned moments my man, and dont let any bad trips turn you off.
Smoke it till it's out, load another one or find a more conservative way to smoke if you're not getting high enough... :rasta:
I find loading one hits into the bong bowl is better than loading a whole bowl, it just tastes better, every time its green and the taste is always top green....good stuff, after one or 2 bong bowls Im good, I could smoke more but I dont grow and Im not rich so, one or 2 massive hits from a bong and Im good
Qft. ^Specifically with bongs, very easy to tell.^ Even with a pipe.^ It'll taste like ass pretty much haha.Quote:

Cherried means to get the bud glowing red and still able to burn with out a lighter. Looks red like a cherry.
What you can do is just smoke the bowl and after a couple of hits (depending on how much you pack and how big the bowl is) you will taste the butane of the lighter when you take a hit. If you dont know what butane tastes like, go ahead and take a hit with nothing on the bowl (just a small hit) and ull see what butane tastes like. This is bad so when you taste butane you know ur weed is cashed.Quote:

Its quite easy to tell if its ash or some weed in there.. you can always double check and just take a hit and if u get butane taste then its gone...
PD: Remember to make pleasure sounds when u finger the bowl. But trust me... it causes intense laugh attacks and its not advisable if ur smoking and driving! LOL :stoned::rasta::pimp::smokin::hippy::jointsmile:
