First off I'm wondering how much do I put in the bowl the first time, if I'm planning on starting off slow and only taking a couple of hits? Also, if there is extra after I take a couple of hits still in the bowl, what do I do with it? Can it be used again later, or should I bake it in a brownie or something? My plan was just to take maybe two hits the first day and then maybe three the next day until I know how much works for me. Would this be a good plan? Any other advice you can give would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
I have an Iolite and I love it. It is so easy to use, plus I was able to find videos on youtube to visually "see" how it works.

If you are new to medicating with mmj, I would only fill the bowl at most halfway, perhaps as was suggested earlier have a buddy, and perhaps use a hybrid indica heavy strain (less likely to have a mental freak out as I have heard people have sometimes with sativas).

I let my Iolite heat up for about 45 seconds then I start inhaling from it.

I keep it going for about 10 minutes, then turn it off and let the last few heating times go through their cycle, still taking hits until it gets hard to inhale which I have always assumed means the vapors are gone.

I figure that the herb inside is going to lend out all of it's vapors, so I try to control the amount of what I take by the size of the bowl.

I have not used it in public only because my hubby says that he can smell a clear mmj smell when I use it. Perhaps I will get more brave the longer I have my iolite.
