I have also noticed that girls really like blunts for the nice and slow pull they offer. Actually, the only person I've ever seen puke after hitting a bong too hard was a girl. Weird...

Anyways, first thing is retrieving the bong and deciding how I want to smoke it for that session: super cold water with ice in the tube or warm water for a smooth therapeutic hit (don't knock it until you try it). I usually grind my buds up and leave the weed in a small lengthwise folded piece of paper for dumping into the bowl. After I load one up and pack it down ever so slightly, I corner the bowl but at the same time rip it hard enough to smoke half the green off the top. I always try and hold this first hit as long as possible because I know the first hit gets you the most buzz. Then, after that first monster hit, I spark up small corners of the rest of the green and smoke it slowly. I always hit it super hard once, then take my time with the rest of the bowl.
