Any tricks for either not making a smell or hiding smells?

You aren't necessarily bound to get caught. You are, however, if you choose to use the wrong utensil. Joints, blunts, spliffs, or anything that continually burns is a no-no. Double-O stoners are better off using either a bong, pipe, one-hitter, sneak-a-toke, or anything that can be *immediately* put out after the hit is taken.

Optional: The next precaution I take is to light a single stick of incense five to ten minutes before the session. I use Nag Champa brand incense; it has a great aroma, and a decent potency. By far the best I've found. Of course, if this would raise suspicion among the enemy (YOUR PARENTS), then this step should be avoided. Many people believe that parents know what's going on if you use incense; mine, however, do not. I tend to avoid using the towel under the door because if someone was to barge in, they'd take one look at the towel and know exactly what it was for. Plus, if the following methods are done correctly, the only smell escaping your room will be that of Nag Champa.

After lighting your piece, always put your finger, a marble, or a coin over the bowl to prevent excess smoke from escaping the bowl, and to save your weed. Overlooking this is, what I imagine, what gets many people caught.

As for the spoof, ("dryer sheets thingy") I use a 20 oz Mountain Dew bottle stuffed with somewhere around thirty or forty dryer sheets. The right amount of dryer sheets is key: too little and the covering of the smell is insufficient, too many and you won't be able to blow the smoke through. Some people add an amount of cologne, or spray to the sheets for better results. In my experience, this was unecessary, but better safe than sorry. Holes were burnt in the bottom of the bottle (as recommended by an ancient mello as hello post) using the cherry (lit end) on a Camel. The smoke is blown through the mouthpiece.

Don't try to hold in the hit for too long; if you cough, your whole operation's purpose has been eliminated. I hold mine in for three to four seconds and blow it quickly through the spoof.

I have a stash of Icebreakers (mints) for when each session is over. I also keep an extra can of Axe (a lot of people use Febreeze or Ozium) close to me in case of a coughing fit, or if smoke somehow escaped the piece.

Mission accomplished.

lateralus knows what hes talking about, I do the same thing in my bathroom everynight cuz we have an alarm system so I cant go outside to smoke once my parents turn that on. The dryer sheets kill the smell of pot and the smoke just smells like stale dryersheets. The whole thing about extuingishing the bowl and not coughing are extremly importiant too. Also striking a match afterwards helps cover an smell really well.

Use a vaporizer! Make one quick and easy with a lightbulb, and all your problems suddenly go away. Believe me, this one's from experience.

Inscense.

edit: oops

[ADaisyChain]

Yeah. A lightbulb vape is actually a wonderful idea for your situation. Easy to build, very cheap, no smell, no smoke, and no coughing.

the best spray ive used is Lysol Neutra-Air. its similar to ozium but seems to be even better. dont buy cheap ass sprays that just cover the smell, you want something like Neutra-Air which covers it AND actually gets rid of it. i use it in my room after smoking all the time and it works great.

[lizka4200]

febreeze..either the mist or spray is fucikng awesome too

[NightProwler]

natures miracle skunk odor remover. it doesn't cover it up it actually gets rid of it from clothes and hands and bongs/pipes/ whatever. It's used for dogs that get sprayed by skunks. also if i was smokin in the woods, i just cover myself in bugspray and that works too.
