Pipes...

Feels like i waste more weed with pipes....i mean, i hit it twice and its already all black and ashy...when i coulda rolled that shit up into a nice blunt and had it burning for 30 minuets. Plus its annoying when you have to move the bud around inside the pipe's bowl cuz tip is all ash and the bottom still has some green in it.

Just puff lightly at the ash and it'll blow off the top of the green. If you can roll a bowl's worth into a blunt I'd call it a waste of a blunt.

Blunts are good nonetheless, and either way you should be getting high. Happy toking :smokin:

...Learn to smoke pipes?

I pack like .3g in a pipe and can get like 6+ hits off it, where as it would be wasted in a joint or blunt...as if I could roll one that small.

take some puffs then stamp it out with your finger so you don't waste any...that's what i do...i get lots of hits.

i just..i just dont understand. your saying that your bowl is so large that it takes a blunts worth of bud to fill it and you can clear it in 2 hits and arnt high? or are you saying that you smoke the skinniest blunts ever fathomed by the human mind? Or you are misinformed on weights or suck at math at a level surpassed by most mentally retarded fifth graders. you know what they say though, there are no dumb questions, just dumb people.(who ask those questions)

i have a huge bowl on my pipe....but what i should have asked is....how long should i have my light in the bowl...just a quick touch...or a solid 2 seconds...

Smoking has been around for thousands of years. Its certainly not hard to do, you should put down the bud and go to the doctor for a perscription of common sense. It really doesnt matter how long light it for, as long as its burning you should inhale and when your not hitting the pipe and you care about the miniscule amount burning off put your lighter over the bowl or finger it to put it out.

Damn...note to self, never ask for a little help

i'm new to pipes, so lay off and stop being a bitch

Do you still need help dressing yourself or wiping your ass? Im sorry i found your questions so dumb. I was only trying to make sense of your jibber jabber and see if there is an actuall question or if the typing is just another post on your post counter.

Corner the bowl. When it's all black just flip it over and you'll prob find some green. I wouldn't torch it, especially with friends.

I keep the bowl lit for aslong as im breathing in for a pipe.
For a bong - i fill it up with smoke, take a breath ,then inhale all thats in side the chamber so its cleared.

Oh people, you're so rude, so what, he's new to pipes, help a new person out. When a new person comes to a workplace or school, do you talk to them like this? Come on, get the sticks out of your bum and puff a bowl.

Sounds to me like you're torching the bowl. The best way to pack a bowl is to snip up the bud, or just with your fingers, pick it into smaller pieces. I find when you just cram a nug in the bowl, you have to torch the bowl to get it going, which can be wasteful. So, break it up, pack it, and just let the flame of your lighter lick the top of the grass, inhale, and when your lungs are full, stop. Repeat.

Your weed is burning up too fast. Ease back on the flame as it sounds like you're just torching your bowl. Burn it slower. Just use the pipe and you'll get the hang of it.

I use bowls all the time and it conserves my weed nicely. :)

Yep, im with Chowder. I have used a bowl for year's and can smoke it for a couple of minutes each packed bowl. Just hit it hard when it's burnin and when you get a lung full put a quarter over it to smother it and continue until it's gone. Very conservative. Also this way using a doob tube creates almost no smell at all. Just my two cents.

For all of you saying joints and blunts waste weed.... learn to roll a joint. I can roll a kingsize rizla joint with 2 bowls of weed and make it burn for 45 mins easily... but the 2 bowls would last how long? Point exactly. Also, joints have the highest THC transfer rate.

Joints are scientifically better than pipes.

The reason they waste more is because they take more weed then a bowl does. Plus, it's burning all the time, therefore wasting thc. Can you make a pure joint burn for 45 minutes, Lip? I think it has something to do with the tobacco.

I have a one-hit, dry, glass bong, where the total holding capacity is small enough so that I can inhale all of the volume easily. If I smoke the amount of pot in my pipe that I would use to roll a blunt I can get high all day long instead of just a couple of hours. I have been toking for over 40 years now and I can attest to the fact that pipes are way more efficient than joints. When I only have a gram left in my stash I don't have to panic 'cause I have enough to keep me blasted all day long, whereas a joint-roller person would have only one good doobie left outa his last gram and would have to find more right away if he wanted to stay stoned the rest of the day. I now smoke for medical reasons and I am on a fixed income so every penny is counted three-fold and joints just aren't in my budget most of the time, its just too wastefull.
