well to answer your first question your best bet is to, like everyone else said, put bigger bud on the bottom and the smaller shake on to

second off, the hole on the side is called a "choke" or a "carb" and it clears the pipe of all the built up smoke, whenever you let go of the choke you may want to suck in a little harder, and after you clear it, tap it irregularly to keep the bud burning
da5mikeY Reviewed by da5mikeY on . Glass pipe question K I have a really stupid question. Just got a glass pipe. Never used a glass pipe before. The hole in the bottom's big so I'm worried about sucking in a lot of ash. I bought screens but I've heard bad things about them and about the m tasting like metal lol. Plus the screens don't seem to fit the pipe that well. Anyone have any thoughts? Should I not grind it down to fine or should I definitely use the screen or what? Rating: 5
