just do whatever works for you......I'm trying to learn how to roll a blunt now that's not easy! I can roll joints by hand, I also have a roller and a pipe, but I smoke too much that I have to switch up every now and then to get a different high.... a bong is next on my list....looking at websites for one but not sure which ones are trustworthy... back to the joint thing..... LOTS of practice....I'v smoked for a long time and still don't have it down to a t, but it smokes and I get high.....and that's all that matters......
