The main reason I like bowls is because you can carry them on you at all times.
The reason I hate bowls is because you get fucking ASH in your mouth half the time (not talking about scooby snacks/hot lunches like just every time you hit you get a little ash). Any body ever do any improvised ash catchers?
Just use a screen and that problem will be gone.
get yourself a screen
i've found a much better solution to screen, as the only ones you'd rather have to carry around and take chances losing are the metal ones, and that's just to take a corner of toilet paper, fold it up perfectly to just barely get through the hole in the mouth-peice... it kinda acts like a cigarette filter but not quite... i still get high as hell (if i use a cigarette filter in a joint i DO NOT get high, well i've never actually rolled a filter in ajoint, more refering to stuffing an empty cigarette 'shell' with bud....
anyways, i just stuff a bit of TP into the pipe... it blocks all the ash/particles..
Yeah, I think I will make myself an ash catcher. (DUDE ASH CATCHEM... POKEMON>?!!!!) I don't think you're supposed to use screens for glass pieces.
Dude... I'm so high right now (bonks head on keyboard)
i used to use them all the time in my glass bongs/pipes, but they don't really work that well, unless you have a very large bowl... they tend to just stick to one side of the bowl and not really 'screen' anything... i would start using glass screens, but i've heard from basicly everyone who's owned one, that they just get lost like fucking crazy... so fuck it, i'll just stuff toilet paper in my pipe til it's resinated enough that ash doesn't come flying in my mouth. as for bongs, well... the water does a pretty good job of filtering ash and hot embers...Quote:

first of all once idea is to get a small water pipe. something small with water in it. theres a few pics i added that may be good to look for if your on the hunt for small glass water piece. but also the look of what you have there, a little spoon, the next step may to be like everyone says get a screen. if you do that id invest in a glass screen because they are nicer but then again i have no idea how many ive lost... anyways i suppose you could just roll something up? cant roll? buy yourself a rolling machine.

i cant remember how to add attachments so you get links haha sorry.
You shouldnt carry a bowl around with you at all times.. at any time for that matter. Those paraphernalia charges are quite hefty compared to simple posession charges.
I used to have that problem, but I don't have it at all anymore.
Basically I use bigger nugs now, and have resinated the shiit out of my bowl.
When the bowl gets to the point where it wont stay lit on it's own, it's done, put it down and pack a new bowl. I also inhale slower.
I used to get scooby snacks and ash EVERY BOWL, but I haven't had one in months.
just to say it because no one else has but when hitting a pipe (i perfer glass but pick your fancy) when you are getting near the end of bowl i think you need to kinda learn how hit it slowly and nicely so that way you arent sucking up ash. i dont inhale the same amount/way/whatever when im hitting green compared to near the end of the bowl.
Just buy a glass screen, not those metal ones, but you can buy small, glass screens that are usually in a star shape, or in form of a glass jax piece. A little stem piece fits right in the bowl hole, and keeps the ash from going in your mouth.
Like, $2 a piece at any headshop. Give it a try. It's what I use in my bong, steamroller, and bubbler, and glass spoon, no ash in mouth. :)
Upgrade to bubbler.
huh? i never get ash in my mouth when i smoke a bowl..
what..is the hole too big?
