Hey, everyone. I'm new to these forums, but I'm also new to smoking weed. Well, new as in I recently started going out of my way to acquire it on my own and not just in a social setting. My boyfriend bought me a small spoon pipe for our 2 year anniversery. (He doesn't smoke, but doesn't care if I do and supports the legalization.) Honestly, I love Bobby (name of my spoon pipe) but I can't figure him out. Weed doesn't burn to well in him, and it's hard to get the flame in. Anyone wanna give me any advice on what I could be doing wrong, and pretty much how to use one? Sorry if I sound lame, but the last time I used one was with my uncle and he did all of the work. Thanks.
Are you holding your finger over the carb(the hole in the side of the pipe) while you try to hit the pipe? You are supposed to cover the hole while you hit the pipe, then let go and inhale a little more to clear the smoke out of the pipe.
I actually don't even use my finger to cover the hole (other less tedious way), but I could try that. Anything else? It's also really hard to light and keep at a steady burn.
Also, I don't really pack the bowl to high. Actually it's more on the low side. (Conserving my weed because I won't be able to get any for a week or two.)
you want to cover well count the holes most have 3 some only 2 the hole u put your mouth to, the 1 u pack the weed in & 1 more that extra 1 is the carb, cover the carb untill your lungs are almost full then release it to suck out everything inside the pipe
I don't think your problem is the way you pack your bowl. You break your weed up and pack it in there tight, but not too tight? That's all you gotta do. Just use the carb and you'll be good.
So I light the bowl without the carb covered, then cover it whilst taking the smoke in? Sorry, I feel retarded now.
1 pack bowl 2cover carb 3 put bowl to lips 4 & 5 begin inhale while lighting 6 inhale 7 inhale 8 inhale till lungs nearly full 9 release carb 10 suck in last of whats in the pipe & hold it 11 caugh & giggle
perhaps your breaking the weed up too much, usually i just break a bud into two peices throw it in and light up
Okay okay okay. So you have a new spoon. First thing you gotta do is get some kind of filter or screen. You can get these from any gas station or place that sells cigarettes generally, just little round screens, cheap. (Do some people use screens from windows? Or water taps?) Or you can find a little pebble that sorta half-blocks the hole, so there's room for the smoke to go through but not enough for chunks of weed to go through. Or, some people just use an extra-large chunk of weed to sort of block the hole. That's so the ash doesn't go into your mouth. Okay, so you have a filter now. You can get a grinder for your weed, cut it up with scissors, or kinda pull it apart with your fingers. The individual chunks can vary in size, but generally not bigger than a pebble. Since you're beginning, I'd say grind it/pull it apart more so that it's easier to smoke. Once you've pulled it apart lots and it's a little fluffy and light, pack it in there. Push it down with your finger, not too hard, more like tapping than pushing, I guess. Then light it up! Put your finger over the hole in the side, the carb, when you light it. Once you have a cherry going, you can suck for a bit and then take your finger off the carb. This helps clear the chamber so it's empty of smoke. After that, take a little gasp of fresh air and hold for a bit. Should work. Hope that helped.
fuck screens. if u just bought a nice GLASS pipe, then dont degrade it by putting a METAL screen in the bowl. you dont need a screen, its pointless.
Basically you're covering the carb most of the time you're inhaling to make the pipe into a simple tube so the air and smoke have to come through the weed, then to finish the hit you open the carb so that most of the air comes through it and you pull out all the smoke.
