I was wondering how you tend to smoke your bowl when you go solo? Do you smoke it fast? Take a hit, blow out the smoke, take another, untill its cached? Or do you take a hit and wait a couple minutes, then take another?
When i smoke if im really stoked on smoking, ill smoke as fast as possible and blow the smoke out my window. If im in a chill mood, i take the time to go sit on the driveway and smoke a bowl over a time period like 10 minutes or so.
What do you think is the best method?
I think there's really not a huge difference. I am another who does the whole "blow the smoke out the window" thing. What I do is light the bowl, then draw on it until it starts to go out, then light it agagain while still inhaling. I do that until my lungs are packed full, then hold my breath for as long as i can and exhale out the window.
I find this technique helps relax me, and also makes sure I get all the THC I can out of my weed. I'm a singer and a runner, so I have pretty massive lung capacity, and I find the best way to get high is take massive hits and hold them in your lungs for a long time.
Hopefully that helps. Happy tokin'
For my homemade bong (Disposed of now...) I would use ice and water and take nice, big, slow tokes, pausing as often as I feel like as long as the shit isn't burning too fast while im not inhaling.
For gatherings, I take big tokes and I kinda feel rushed to pass it around quickly so everyone gets higher.
I wouldn't hold them in... Most of the THC is absorbed instantly, so holding it in any more than 5 seconds is just letting more toxins deposite in your lungs.Quote:

Light up 1/4 of bowl with flame.
Pull on it, but let the flame die, keep pulling and if you get it right, by the time your lungs are full, the cherry is out. Keep moving over to the green. Your last hit should be green. Zero wasted smoke. Do one of those every 5 minutes and you will be stooooned. When i smoke bowls i never run out.
I like chillin with a bowl when I'm by myself. I don't have to worry about passing it right away. So I can relax after I take a hit.
I whole-heartedly concurQuote:

none of that puff puff pass shit
When I'm flying solo, I prefer to go on a walk or do something outside, and I'll either puff on a joint or hit a pipe. Depending on where I am and how I'm feeling, I'll either smoke while walking or plant myself somewhere and smoke.
THC is absorbed by the lungs almost instantly upon inhaltion, 95% of it in the first three seconds... holding it any longer just coats your lungs with more tar.Quote:

If its a joint, which I rarely smoke, especially solo, I will smoke it as fast as I can.
A bowl, then usually I'll just wait a little bit in between hits. Maybe 10 seconds or so. If I'm smoking more than 1 bowl though usually I'll take a few minutes in between bowls, I'll pack it, then hop on the PC for a lil while until I feel like going back to the window.
Gravity bongs I usually let the bucket sit by the window and I'll pack a bowl, go take a hit, and come back and pack another bowl and do somethin' on the computer for a few mins since I don't like pulling grav after grav real fast.
Sometimes if I'm feeling wasteful, and especially if I'm starting to feel high when I'm smoke I will cherry my bowl for the fun of it. Like how people get cigars started and whatnot, and cherry it for as long as I can until I kill the thing. Only holding the smoke for like 1 second.
Ussually one nice hit at a time. I like to taste my herb, not ash. If in a bong, I need clean water and ice and a clean bowl, again, one hit at a time, dump the ash, reload and so on. Call me a snob, whatever I aint no resin hitting stonner!
I like to like chainsmoke it, with a technique i stumbled upon. I get that bowl cherried, then i draw, exhale thru nose, and then inhale whats in my mouth, repeat. Soon you're smoking like a train.
It may be a little wasteful, but not too bad. Usually I just smoke the bowl, think about how stoned I am, then finish it however I have to. Maybe smoke a stogie with it to cover the smell in my smoking room-closed in front porch.
