My current favorite method is the Vapor Genie pipe, which is non electric and is lit with a match or lighter.

For my best stuff, I used to use a Hilson Meerschaum pipe that had been broken in with a gram of hash oil poured into it. I still have it - from over 30 years ago. That pipe has had some great stuff: hash, hash oil and exotic weeds, from all over the world, burned in it. Sometimes I would "cheat" and use it for regular-quality stuff.

For a while, I liked the plastic "Power Hitter", for joints. I don't have that piece anymore. It had a cartoon illustration by, I believe, Gilbert Shelton - of Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers fame.

I also have a metal box called the â??emergency kitâ?ť. which has a sort-of bong thingy with a respirator-type mask that you put over your face. That gets you seriously fucked up, but is a hassle to use and clean.

I hardly ever use joints anymore - itâ??s a waste, because I donâ??t need as much. I wouldnâ??t even consider rolling a blunt, unless it was really cheap weed.
