Can somebody explain to me why the **** my one-hitter works sooo great?

It blows my mind man. The other night I had just gotten finished rolling my ounce of weed into joints. (I realize it degrades quality, but I like to have them readily smokable. It gives me a taste of how it'll be once it's legal.)

When I finished rolling the last joint, I had just enough weed left on the tray to load my one-hitter. I decided to do so. I didn't feel like going up in my attic, so I just made an identical one out of an identical pen that I had in my pocket from school. (Instructions: http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=46643 You won't regret it.)

I've been smoking the exact same weed for awhile, so I know that exactly one joint is the magic recipe to get me as high as I'd like to be off of it.

And that's exactly how high a ingle load of my one-hitter got me. I was amazed.

It was freshly made, which means I'm not smoking resin. What gives?

my one hitter is my one and only love.beside my bong.gets you perfeclty stoned the one hitter does.makes the weed last longer and if its glass you can taste it better

Not sure i get the instructions. Picture? Sober explanation?

whats bad abotu snoking resub

oh i see

Yeah, none of you are answering the question though.

Help, people? I wanna know this too :rasta:

it could be that since he doesnt have to suck the smoke through the rolling paper, it allows him to smoke faster? not clue

The velocity of any intoxicant entering your body is substantial to the amount of actual high. Do a shot really fast and drink it over the course of a minute, and you get completely different results. Same with THC.

It is most likely that as you hit it you get a good smoke to air ratio. This is incredibly compressed as you get higher airflow that is hotter. Hot air dances around liek crazy, as does anything in it. So you get the smoke moving more in your lungs as well.

The blood vessels on the... air sacs (what is the word?) in your lungs are having all this put on them so you get much more THC from your grass. So it's not making it more powerful. It's just bringing out the full capability of your weed.

Which is why gravity/waterfall bongs get you so incredibly high. The air is more compressed and such.

I also believe that the colder the air is to start with, the better the hits are. I get much higher in cold weather. So do all of my friends. Can be the same stash, but it just seems to work that way.

So we're kinda applying engine intake principles here. Lots of air, but still enough smoke in the hit to keep you happy. The little ball-screen you made is most likely contributing much to your great pipe. Lots of air gets around the bud and cherry.

Sorry I'm rambling. But anyhow, yeah.

Enjoy. :D

Also, my brother talks of his infamous "autocarb experience." Supposedly, He took a very large bong with a removable stem and rubber-sealable stem insert and drilled a hole in it and managed to hook up an oxygen tank to it. From his account he'd fill up this much-too-massive (think gallons) with a very huge bowl, seal it off, and he and his friends would take turns clicking the tapered valve he had on this bong to push the air in automatically.

I don't know about this though... What do you guys think?

/\/\ Good idea, but seems like a lot of effort. Maybe if you wanted the absolute biggest hit, no expense spared. I think a gravity bong would get you most of the way to an "autocarb." Then again, if you have a couple oxygen tanks lying around....


Still don't understand the instructions completely for this one hitter :confused:

Mazel tov!!! *hug*

Love- Kate

The idea is getting one of those good, shiny (most likely aluminum) pens and jamming the pointed end backwards into the tip, removing the guts, and using a twist-tie in a wad as a gnarly screen. That screen does 80% of the talkign here, making a very nice mixture of air. I just tried that on my pipe and as of now I'm fairly stoned. Just a few minutes have passed.

The bowl/screen combo is key.

Also note that he did the tank thing only till the tank ran out. I'd just go down to the local compressor and fill back up. :D

so, what would get you higher, this ont hitter, or a pipe? cuz i have the option to do both

i dunno man..lately ive only been smoking my one hitter that i made with a like 3 inch long socket and put a screen in it...its pimp and gets me ripped

It could just be that the weed left on your table had a lot of kief in it from all the bud you'd broken up, making for a higher level of THC.

Also, joints tend to be inefficient when smoking solo, so you may not be smoking quite so much as you think you are each time you smoke a J.

Logical explanation, audiocide.

And sorry if you can't understand the intructions. While I was pretty damn stoned at the time of writing it., when reading it sober it still seems to make sense to me.

I've got homework and shit, but when I get done I'll post some simplified instructions, in step form. Shouldn't be but 30 minutes. I really want someone to make it so they'll see what I mean. I love it.

I think I get it. Like this?

The kief is an excellent point. I didn't consider that. However, even without the kief, a single load still ****s me up.

Why is smoking a joint solo ineffecient?

Yes, unless the pointed end is supposed to be your illustration of the cone. The cone should be on the end with the weed and screen on it. (As it actually CONTAINS the weed and the screen)

Here's an illustration. Would have edited above post, but it wouldn't let me.

i just made it. hope to use it soon

I haven't made it yet, but I plan to. I think it has something to do with using small amounts of bud, whereas larger bowls might burn off extra THC inadvertently.

Just toke up, man.

its a good idea but its better to find a metal tip that has a really small hole as opposed to your unique screen idea, the metal in twist ties is very malleable(bendy) and most malleable metals have a low burning point, and even if its not burning my bet is its giving off nasty toxins.

An even better thing to do would be to go and pick up a glass one hitter from a shop cause then all your smoking is weed and it tastes 50 times better, plus its been proven that even though the lighter flame is not directly on the plastic the smoke is still hot enough to activate narsty chems in the plastic which we all no is a bad thing

but a pen pipe was my first smoking device i ever made and i know that they do get the job done pretty well

There's no plastic what-so-ever.

And I can't imagine the twist tie putting off any bad fumes after it's burned as instructed. I suppose I could be wrong, though.

Insignificant. It's Friday, and that's what matters.

true.. but is the pen tube not plastic? thats what i meant and mostly all materials give off some kind of waste products from burning except a nice peice of glass :D

happy blazin :rasta:

The pen tube is metal.

yup large bowl is constantly burning off thc and same with joint or blunt, straight waste, unfortunately thas all i smoke :stoned:

so smaller bowl filled up a couple times = possible joint-level high? dude, thats gonna save me sooo much cash!

yeah i made one of those recently for a ski trip. It works great while skiing but when your not on the mountain it heats up like a bitch really fast... kinda sucks

yeah one hitters r good, i used a plastic bottle of coke, and stuck an antenna in it, go to totse.com and look at the poppers, they work really well

what exactly classifies a one-hitter? is it just that it holds whatever u can smoke in 1 hit or does it meet specific capacity requirements? lol i sounded scientific on that last 1...

A one hitter usually does not have a bowl, simply a cavity at the end of a hollow tube.

here is a one-hitter I made out of an instrument cable end and a pen tip, i also used the twist tie screen, but I havent been able to smoke from it yet cause everyone I know is dry :mad:

Anybody ever see the one-hitters that look just like a cigarette? Great for stealth smoking.
