Conserve Bud

[Rolandova]

Hi, I'm new to this forum but i'd like to know some ways of conserving your bud. Any special techiniques or pieces? I personally found a way to conserve weed if you only have about a bowl left.

Step One: load yourself a bowl.
Step Two: Light the bowl just enough to keep it burning, inhale just enough so that you can inhale a little bit more air at the end of your hit (or use the carb at the end to get some air, this pushes the smoke in your windpipe all the way into your lungs). If your bowl stays cherried, put a coin over the bowl (or your finger/hand) to put it out and not waste any smoke.
Step Three: Hold it for about 5-10 seconds and then exhale.
Step Four: Wait a minute or two before you take the next hit. Waiting a few minutes before you next hit lets the high set in a little quicker (in my experience) and last a bit longer.
This technique should optimize your use of bud.

I have been using this method and have found that I can get a GREAT high off of only one bowl. Please let me know if you guys have got any better methods or techniques. Thanks!! :rastasmoke:

I can stretch a gram to last me 4 days when I use a one hitter, and they are only a few dollars. very small amount of weed put in but you can get a pretty big rip off of one.

I was gonna suggest something, but I think you touch on it. a way to conserve is to light your bowl without burning it. so when lighting with a flame don't let the flame touch the cannabis. what you are doing is vaping your bowl before burn hitting it. It has been prooven when we light our bowls the first light or hit usually burns off allot or most of the cannabis in the whole bowl. which is why allot of people have adopted the snapper bowl or snapper method when smoking. everyone gets a nice green hit and the snap is kinda cool. I still rock the old style of bowl where we load take a good 4 5 hits off of a gram or so then reload, but from time to time I snap it up, just gets messy and you have to clean your bong like 3times a day with snappers.

Yep I do similar,it doesnt take much to get the job done for me either way but on the rare occassion i get low,i just start weightin it out.another thing you can try is use hemp wicks to light your bowls,One of the guys at a local shop talked me into tryin them. Welcome to the boards.:jointsmile::thumbsup:

One hitters are great! I'll try the hemp wicks. And the snapper idea is great. Thanks for the feedback.

Best way to conserve, get a vape. I can make a quarter last me 2 weeks.

I concur with iSmoke31307, get a vape. Not only will you conserve on bud in my experience, you'll also conserve on alveoli of the lungs...:thumbsup:

And similar to the intake measure utilized by the OP, I do this as recommended on fuckcombustion.com

I am a recent visitor on this site, and I enjoy reading the wide variety of posts. I am particularly amused by the rampant misconceptions regarding herbal imbibing. As a medical professional, I would like to offer an inhalation technique for effective ingestion. I will endeavor to minimize the "nice to know" from the "need to know" details. Forthwith, . . . A long and steady draw, filling the lungs from bottom to top, consciously using the diaphragm, is most effective. Prior to reaching capacity, inhale your last 20%, or so, of lung capacity, with fresh air. Your body is programmed to react to the level of CO 2 in your bloodstream. By mixing some fresh air with a vapor hit, you should be able to retain the vapor in your lungs for a longer amount of time, thus maximizing the interface time between the active ingredient in the vapor with the 700 million or so alveoli in your lungs, which is where the assimilation occurs on a cellular basis with each heartbeat. After 10 or so seconds of holding the vapor/air mix in your lungs, exhale a small amount slowly for 3 seconds, then inhale more fresh air, then exhale a bit again, then exhale a bit, then inhale a bit, etcetera, until after a short while you have expelled the entire "hit". This is the most efficient technique, from a physiological perspective. I hope that this makes sense. Vape on !

Indeed Vape (or smoke) on!:rastasmoke:
