What is the correct way to pack a bowl? (for pipes) Is there a specific way?
yea so not really mostly just break it up some pack it fairly firm but no so firm you cant suck through your bowl then light and toke bro its that easy:stoned:
Actually you don't even have to break it if its a small bud, just put it in the bowl, light and get HIGHHH :)
breaking up your bud makes it easier to light and smoke
also dont pack the bowl with too much weed so that its overflowing or sticking up above the rim of the bowl, or else it wont light or pull well
take really dry really good shit and grind it into powder...fill a bowl with high strength powder and corner each hit(somethin i used to do)..otherwise break up nicely and fill semi tight with small pieces..gummier or moist bud..cornering is an efficient technique/etiquette usually..with groups especially...unless its all you you dont have to worry about 'hogging light and take a huge rip of the entire bowl after you pack haha
thanks, by cornering I'm guessing you mean lighting the pot around the sides instead of right in the middle?
horrible idea, dont grind it down to powder!!!Quote:

dont grind your bud, thats a waste
If you grind it in a bowl, you end up sucking alot of weed through the hole(i dont use a screen, i hate the metal taste)
I always break up my shit into little pieces, not so far as powder. If I have leaves or some stem laying around, I'll crush those up and use them as a screen. Then just load up the shit, packed in there but not too tight, and toke easy.
i break it up in to small pieces...but i always have a sorta larger than normal piece to go at the bottom near the hole...it prevents pulling through...and yeah just sticking a nug in there seems pretty stupid to me...same with grinding it up like ur usin it for a j/b
I only touch my weed by the stem, drop it into my grinder. Grind it, not to powder, but I grind it until I can turn the grinder 360 and not have it get stuck. Then, I unscrew the part at the bottom that collects the kief, so the kief doesn't fall back out when I dump out the weed on my table. Then I take a piece of broken guitar center giftcard, to get all of my weed in one pile, and then scoop it into my glass bowl with the card. I don't like to touch my weed other than that, because it damages the weed.
I have little daisy shaped glass screens (so wonderful)... When you pack your bowl the only rule is make it as fat as possible until it either falls out or you cant suck in any smoke... lol but really its not rocket science man this doesnt really seem like a useful question :jointsmile:Quote:

just make it even. you can pack it tight and get really dense smoke, or looser for more lung filling hits.

just blaze and youll get it!
i always grind, unless its headies, tehn i break it up by hand..i find grinding works great cuase you can pack a bowl wtih a ton of bud that will smoke forever...if i grind up enougha nd pack my spoon, it will get 5 or 6 people REALLY fucking high off one good bowl cuase the amount i can put in/how long it will burn
There really isn't a certain way to do it. Just as long as it burns good in the bowl and you're getting satisfying pulls, then who cares how you pack it.Quote:

If the bud you are about to smoke is really dense, and perhaps a little wet/dankish, then it is best to snip it up a bit, then pack it. I find if a bud is dank or really dense, I can't get any good pulls out of it because well, it's so solid and just won't burn.
If the buds are kind of looser and leafy, I just put a nug in the bowl without cutting it up.
It's like, dense bud is like swimming through peanut butter, and looser buds are like swimming through water. One is much harder to do (the peanut butter) so you slice it up, making it in smaller portions, making it easier to go through.
Does that make any sense? I hope so. :p
insert weed
strike lighter
touch flame to bowl
inhale
get stoned
it really is that easy, folks!
It all depends on your personal preference. Keep trying different methods until you find what works best for you. Then stick with it.
I grind my shit up in my grinder, small but not powder, and pack it in and just smoke it. Works for me.
we call them snappers, cuz, when you pull the ash through the hole, it makes a snap. You gotta put just enought in the bong for just one hit.
nochowderforyou, the analogy made perfect sense haha. well thanks for all the advice guys...yes I know how to pack a bowl that'll get you stoned, but I didn't know if there was one specific way in order to get the most out of your weed.
Here's how I do it:
1. Get some bud.
2. Break it up into small pieces but leave one larger piece.
3. Put the larger piece (not too big, about 1/3 the depth of the bowl) into the bowl.
4. Put the other smaller pieces on top of the larger piece.
5. Toke to your heart's content. :pimp:
The reason I say to put the larger piece in there is basically to replace the screen. I tend to often be lacking a screen, so this is how I prevent sucking weed through the pipe.
Edit: Oh, and this is just how I do it. It does not help you 'get more out of your weed.' It's just one way. Sh*t, sometimes, I just throw a big bud into the bowl and rip...it works fine too...just don't clog it. :)

packing a bowl can be simple or complicated. of course you can just break em up and throw em in, or you could use a strategy for a specific way you want the bowl to burn
for instance, if you like to corner the bowl, put a bud on the bottom over the hole, then put some more finely ground pot against the edges of the bowl. then, take smallish buds (or smallish-medium pieces torn from larger buds) and kind of pyramid those up in the center.
that way, the shake around the edges will give great corner hits, and then once thats done, the buds in the center and over the hole will burn more slowly. works best if you dont let the corner hits cherry, then later get the buds in the center nicely lit.
if your bowl is resinated enough weed wont fall through the hole
I realize this thread is old but I thought I'd chime in. The best way, in my opinion, is to grind it up very well and tap your grinder so some (not all) bud comes out. Then take a credit card or something similar that you don't need and edge the weed off of the table/desk right into the bowl (accuracy is important). You can use a piece of paper so you don't lose any pot if the surface isn't very smooth.
I'm sure there are easier methods but I've got this down to a science so I don't really care to try any other ways. :thumbsup:
Everyones opinion will be different,but learning to pack a nice bowl is an appreciated skill,and takes patience,and practice. I prefer to grind my bud before packing,so what I usually do is grind up the weed im gonan use for the evening and just pull what i need from grinder and leave the rest in grinder till needed. Find a lil plug nut or use a glass screen depending on which on my pieces I will be using and just take a decent sized pinch stick it in there and lightly press it down.You dont want to compact it so much that you get no air through it otherwise you will just get frustrated. Feel free to practice loading your pipe as much as possible till its how you like.Good luck, and happy tokin' man :thumbsup::jointsmile:Quote:

Ash taps out easily. This is a Good Thing.
The best way is to grind the buds first, and then pack the bowl, making sure it's not too tight, otherwise it'll be impossible to hit it.
having said that, the best way to smoke is a BONG!
I like to grind it up finer than most people I know... pack a solid bowl of fine ground bud with a sprinkle of crystals from the catch. Very nice... Only through a nice 18" bong! I like my pipe too...
Yes there is a proper way to pack a bowl. Actually it is close to packing a tabacco pipe. There is a 5 step process to loading your bowl. 1) Grind your weed (this will be different for different types of weed.) 2) Pack your bowl lightlyto the top and then tamp it down lightyly. (tamp means to press.) 3) Fill the bowl again to the top and tamp one more time. 4) Now light your bowl and smolder it out. 5) Once the bowl has been primed, light your bowl again in a full circle motion. Now your bowl should stay lit the whole time. Enjoy.Quote:
