Okay well since you know how to make it, there are 3 holes. One on the side is for your mouth, another on the side for you to cover with your finger, the 3rd (on the top) holds the weed. Just break the weed up big enough so it won't get sucked through the hole into your mouth, and place it in the "bowl" (the hole that holds the product). When you are ready to take your hit, just cover the carb (hole on the side for your finger), put your mouth on the other hole, light the lighter and suck the flame down into the bowl. After a few seconds the weed should catch on its own and you can stop using the lighter and just suck as much of the smoke as you can in. Enjoy.
