The key is to take long slow tokes and let the cherry do the work, as the cherry is nowhere near as hot as a flame. Cover the opening of the bowl with your hand to restrict the volume of air going in(which increases the velocity) and take shorter puffs to encourage the growth of the cherry. I can get a monstrously enormous hit like this and I get much higher because I used barely any flame, and more of that beautiful Delta-9 TetraHydraCannabinol makes it to my lungs undamaged.
I need to show this post to some of the people I've smoked with. They think I'm taking wussy hits because I'm not letting the flame touch the weed, letting it cherry when it does light on fire... I'm just getting more bang for my buck, that's all! It's like the poor man's vape. I know I got a good hit when I drag for fifteen seconds and there's barely any smoke when I exhale. I don't need to prove how "hardcore" I am by roasting the whole bowl in one go and coughing my lungs out.
