I keep the lighter lit until the weed lights up and will have no problem burning on it's own.

I feel if I inhale stronger, more of the smoke will go into my mouth and lungs before filling up the chamber. I feel like such a tool :P
Hardcore Newbie Reviewed by Hardcore Newbie on . My First Bong Hey guys, just got my first bong today (I've only taken one hit from it so far, never any bong hits before), and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I light the weed, and I inhale to fill the chamber with smoke, with my thumb over the hole. Now even though I have my thumb on the hole, I'm getting a lot of smoke in my mouth and some in my lungs, and the chamber isn't filling up very well. Can someone give a newbie some advice on how to fill that sucker? Rating: 5
