butane inhallation

[prettygirlsmokes420]

So how much butane am I inhailing when I smile my bowl? Cuz I know I can taste it, and I was wondering if there is a lighter out there that puts off less if not any butane? Is it just me? Does anybody else taste it?

I use a torch lite it's quicker at burning the stuff in the bowl. Better than a ordinary lighter. But it wont eliminate the taste completly.

Some people I know use two knives heat them on the stove or torch them until the tip is redhot, pick up a little peace of green and burn it with the knives. they inhale it with a cut in half 2l soda bottle, so the smoke does not go everywhere and anywhere.Also works with hash.

That's interesting... Like a milkshake method. ( if u were wondering,) a milkshake is when you light the hash and blow it out. Letting a red hot cherry start to burn, then you put a glass over it and let it fill with smoke. Every time you inhale the.smoke from the.glass, the red hot cherry gets the air it needs to keep hot and smoking. Eventually the hash will all burn up but its usually a pretty intense hit. I never thaught to try the concept on my bud...

I dont think the milkshake method would work on buds, but you never know. And smoking with the method I showed you is also pretty intense 2 or 3 hits and your done or Chocking from to much smoke at once on the floor.

Here is what the MSDS says. You shouldn't still be tasting butane if your oil is properly purged, but with a TWA of 800 ppm for 8 hours, I predict you are safe.

Contact with rapidly expanding gases can cause frostbite.

I forgot the little piece of bud you pick up with the hot knives should be pressed into a ball. Compacting the piece of bud make's it easier to smoke.

Thanks greywolf for that stats. And thnx canadianhemperor for the technique. I got a butane vaporizer too, but I don't taste butane in that. Only when its heating up can you slightly smell it, I don't reccommend the iolite, waste of twohundredeighty dollars.

Hope you don't mind me throwin my :twocents: in here....

How are you breaking it up before packing???

What I've found to work best for me when packing bowls is to pack it like you would build a campfire, only upside down in your bowl.... Place like a pea size lil nug at the bottom of the bowl (acts like a filter stopping the smaller grinded bud that you pack on top), then grind up the rest of the bud you want to toke and place it on top of the lil pea size nug.... The bud on top acts like kindle and will light the rest of the bowl.... Doing this, you should only have to light the bowl at the beginning and then maybe to finish it off for only a sec or two each time at most.... It should stay lit the whole way through.... If you have powder hash, you could sprinkle a lil over the bowl and would work really well at lighting the rest of the bowl once lit....

Just something that I've been doing lately and I've found that I'm using my lighters less packing my bowls this way....and with the powder hash on top, it really adds a punch....

Nice, sometimes my stuff stays lit, I never really thaught.about my packing.method tho. It makes sense. Does the.cherry burn up excess bud when its still lit and ur not inhaling it? You know when you get that little swirling stream of smoke that rises out of the bowl when you set it down. Iv always wondered about that too, is it wasting my good ganj?
