well i mean i smoke my salvia with a regular lighter dude i just use a water bong. U really need some sort of pipe that uses water otherwise u will die lol. I smoked like 5 bowls of salvia out of a plain pipe and omg i seriously could not breathe. But as long as it goes through water your straight. Also ya u need an extract and you need some good friends with you or else it can get messy.
