even tho it's another long dead thread, could prove useful to someone else....
pros: gets you high as all fuck. very conservative on weed (you wanna get the most out of your bud, this is going to be the way right here, something about this method that uses next to none, and gets you really blown) that's about it.
cons: hard to do by yourself (but not impossible). more risk to getting caught do to the methods and materials involved. harsh as fuckin hell (you wanna kill your throat, this right here is what will do it for you, and there's no real way to make it less harsh except breaking off the very bottom of a thick glassed bottle sticking it in the freezer for a few hours and using that in place of the funnel contrapment)

to sum it up. there's quite a few diffrent materials involved in using this method, therefore there will be more "contaminated" (meaning materials for drugs and drug usage) lying around in your room, thus increasing the chances of getting caught by parents or other un-favorable people. if doing it alone, can become very complicated, and sometimes just plain out be worth more than the trouble. tho, this process does use a severly less ammount of overall bud to achieve the same effects, even over a gravity bong, and it gets you pretty damn smashed if you did it right. i woudlnt' suggest this as a long term smoking method (meaning someone who likes to fill up a bowl and take a hit there and here) because those knives get pretty fuckin hot, and i tend to burn myself after a few hits because i get "stupid" and careless.
slipknotpsycho Reviewed by slipknotpsycho on . What's the pros and cons of using... the method of hotknifing? I have some resin here and I want to smoke it because I'm not sure when I, or IF, can get some this weekend. Might be later tonight, might be tomorrow. Might be Monday.... So, I have a bowl I can use it to smoke, or I can use hotknifing. I heard that hotknifing gets you pretty screwed up, but...ya know. Any help appreciated. Rating: 5
