When to clear the bowl

[wil86]

When im smoking my pipe i never really know when all the bud has burnt and im worried that i might be wasting a bit of it. Are there any ways to tell that its all gone because i sometimes find that there is a tiny bit of green inside a chard bud at the bottom of the bowl when i empty it out. Also, should i occasionally poke the bud with a stick after a couple of tokes to make sure that the bud at the bottom of the bowl is also getting lit?

It's out when all you taste is the gas from the lighter. Or when you put your finger on the stuff in the bowl, and it flattens easily under your finger.

Just posted this in another thread, but blow across the top, it will knock out the the ash on top. You are done when the bowl is empty, or when you are sick of smoking. If it is really bad tasting though, I would probobly dump the bowl. No sense smoking a bowl if you can't enjoy it.

i agree completely. I always ash the top of mine. Also have a ash tray for half smoked bowls. Cuz sometimes i get real sticky wet shit. I will smoke the whole bowl only to flip it over and still find another half burnt chard bowl. Put it into the ash tray, and ta-da something for when you got no bud .

Yeah I usually worry the same, especially when I am stoned because it is that much more precious to me, hahaha. Anyway, now I usually can tell just by looking. Also, when you try to hit it, and a big fucking flaming ball of ash comes flying through, it is done. Good idea to blow across the top, assuming you down blow everything out. But basically give it a shot, worse comes to worse, you spit out the grossness, or nothign happens. Hit it till it is dead. Oh and ALWAYS let the next person know if you think there is either not much left, or if it is kicked, give fair warning like "Yo this might be kicked, but you can give it a shot if you want." and if they say no, ask anyone else.

I think it's pretty easy to tell if it's all white and taste like shit then it's cashed.
