My First Bong

[Purple Banana]

Instead of inhaling deeply from the lungs while lighting the weed up, I kind of suck it and some smoke goes in my mouth, but not into my lungs, wait till the chamber fills up, and the inhale as I release the carb. More of a headrush that way

[joshypoo]

is it air tight?

[Hardcore Newbie]

Yep, it is air tight, I just checked.

I tried again last night and I had some success a few times, but most times it didn't work properly. I got mashed as hell, but still, I want to be ble to do proper bong hits.

The hole from the weed container is quite large though (I think). Maybe this is the problem?

[D1me]

you do have a bowl on that right? not just the hole for the slide piece?

[Hardcore Newbie]

I have a glass sliding peice and the bong..... it seems that i need a bowl haha. What should i ask for when I head to the shop tomorrow, just ask for a "bowl"?

[Greenport]

Your glass slider piece shuld have a bowl on it to put the weed in :/

[Hardcore Newbie]

By bowl, do you mean just shaped so that it can hold weed? If so, then yeah, I have a bowl. But it has quite a big hole in it, I have to use a decent sized nug so that it doens't fall in.

Remember guys, I've never used a bong in my life, I don't know what all the parts are :P

get us a picturreee!!! we will be able to help. make sure you are shredding teh weed with your fingers(or whatever) first and then packing it into the bowl(not too hard)

[halosin8r]

do you let go of the carb at all?

[Inferius]

Ohhhhhh yeah You need a Bowl. not a pipe, a Bowl-peice for the bong.
You have the slider, but not the bowl. See, you put the bowl (the bowl has a bowl shaped top, and you put a nug in the bowl, and it shouldn't be a huge opening, nothing should fall through even if it's shredded) in the slider, take a hit to fill the chamber, then "pull" the bowl out of the slider, which mimics a carb.
Bowls are cheap. Just gotta make sure it fits your bong.
