yo nice bong. i think i remember having those same ideas of troubles when i started off.

a good idea would be to keep the lighter going for a little while, just because the bud is still lit doesnt mean anything.

and about the size of the whole, thats actually quite nice. just throw a bud in there, and then you dont have to worry about blowing out the ash (it'll just suck through).

good luck!

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
