Fundamental smoking question

First of all, ex-long time heavy smoker here, who has pretty much quit but still indulges occasionally.

Today was one of my occasional indulgences and I realized I have completely failed to ever think about this aspect of the smoking experience.

When you are smoking a bowl and you get down to the ash, do you keep lighting it until there is absolutely no SMOKE still coming out, or when the smoke TASTES more like ash than weed do you consider the bowl as cached?

I have always smoked down to the very last drop but I realize now that maybe the last couple hits are rather ashy in taste, what do you think?

 

I stop either when:

A. Stuff gets sucked through
B. I'm too high
C. It tastes too ashy

I guess to answer your question, I'm not sure if its actually burning anything but ash when it tastes like ash. It could just be alot of tar on the bud on the bottom of the bowl that leads to the ashy taste.

 

i usually smoke until the ash kicks through. i like to make sure i get all the smoke i can from it.

 

fundamental?

wow

anyways, I always pack single hit bowls in the bong (.1 , .2g) and suck until it all cheried for a while. But these days I smoke oil so it sucks, it doesnt ash, it always leaves a crust on the screen that wont stop producing smoke when lit

 

I smoke until nothing will light.

 

i smoke till nothing will light or till im way to stoned.. like u know how it is.. ur so high it becomes a bitch to keep lighting the bowl.. at that point i normally just put it down

 

i smoke till theres no green, but not past that. doesn't seem worth it.

 

so thats like 2 hits?

i keep going till ash hits my throat

 

your an ex-longtime heavy smoker and your asking how long you smoke the bowl till its cash... lmao thats a good one.



Smoke it till you eat ash, thats my policy.

 

Yeah I know, I've seen some people chuck a shitload away and I'm like hello there were still a few hits left.

I just smoke it until it's ALL ash or there's just nothing left to smoke anymore.

 

Smoke 'til it's white as the driven snow!

 

Yeah. Smoke the weed 'til its cocaine.

 

thats the way to do it, I'll leave a bowl and come back to i 3 or 4 times before it's cashed

 

thats like 8 hits. you're forgetting the green on the bottom and in the middle. =D

 

I smoke till it all pulls through

 

That's exactly why I'm so blown away that I've never thought about this before.

Like I said, I'VE always smoked till absolutely nothing lights, but as this thread shows, it seems like there ARE some people who throw away the last few ashy "hits".

 

i concur

 

Yeah man, I waste NO weed when it comes to smokin =) I like to get as high as my bowl capacity lets me, yeehaw! =D im stoned, love you guys

 

Awww, we love you too Enjoy your high!

 

I'm one who will throw some ash out. I'll smoke black, but definately not gray. And if it just starts to tast all rank...then it's gone.

I figure throwing away a dollar's worth of smoke every once in a while will save me fortunes on health care later. Of course, I always offer it around to anyone else that wants it, but I don't advise it. Just light up some new green and save your lungs.
