any advice for taking big bong hits?

i've been blazing quite abit now but only with pipes and joints but the other day i went to my friends house and he had a bong but i could'nt take any good hits out of it really, any idea on what i might be doing wrong i know to pull the bowl out at the end but i can't even think of what i might be doin wrong, it's kind of like i can't suck the smoke in enough and always at the end my lungs won't fill up any more after i pull the bowl out, it really sucks cuase anything other then a bong i can take good big rips. i know it's not his bong cuase it's happened with other bongs before too.

 

remember to exhale and push all the air out of your lungs before taking the rip, that should help. or either you have small lungs.

 

try for the first couple seconds of the hit to make a suction with your mouth rather than inhaling too it will allow the bong to fill with smoke without you wasting any lung space. Or if that wont work you can inhale till your content with how much smoke is in the bong. Pull the slide, cap the top of the bong with your hand, exhale, and then take another deep breath to clear the bong.

 

i cant fill it and clear it with the same breath. just fill it with all your lung power. then pick up your head and cover the open bong, exhale and go back and hit it. you should be able to clear it then and take a monster hit.

 

i think my lungs are decent because i've heard other people say to me that cuase i'm tall i have bigger lungs. Plus my friend timed me for how long i held the smoke in for salvia and i got 52 seconds i think.

 

You just gotta let the smoke build up in the bong, and like others said exhale before you inhale the bong. Another thing to do is to open the carb at the end of the hit to get all the left over smoke in your lungs.

 

it all has to do with experience, the more often you smoke out of one the better you will get at it. each time you do somthing wrong you'll change what you did last time and eventually you'll be taking huge rips. i can rip my bong for a good ~30+ seconds, the thing that helped me most was just to keep exhaling until i couldnt possibly push more air out, then immediately takin the hit and clearing it in one breath.

 

u did nothing wrong bongs just suck

 

Not if you can hit it...

Exhale when the smoke gets to your lips and then inhale all that you can.

 

Ive seen you say this quite a few times now I was just curious as to what your reasoning is?

 

im in the same boat as your skierdood.. i mean.. unless you just dont know what the hell your doing with a bong.. and obviously soaringeagle is a well experienced individual... i dont see why one would say "cuz bongs suck" to a thread about getting shitty hits from a bong.. we need reasoning man! back it up!

 

Back it up! Back it up! Back it up! I love bongs except that bud goes faster then one would like.

 

+1

I dont like 'em either.


And does anyone know how to change the member thing from under my username?? I never really wanted to but I feel like it now.

yes I realize I'm an idiot.

 

But, you get toasted, exactly like you want.

 

After it changes from "member" to "senior member", which should be happening soon because you're over 1,000 posts, go to "user options" at the top of the page, click on "user control panel", then click on "edit profile" at the left side of the page that comes up, and you'll see "custom user title". Type in what you want it to say.

 

captain cannabis, maybe we can hear your reason

 

Bongs are the shizz, and I get higher off of them than I do with any other method, using less weed.

 

exactly, a blunt, and a blunts worth of weed in a bong, are very different highs

 

carb bongs are better, I don't like having to slide out the bowl.

I would say that your best bet is to pull the hit, take a breath, then inhale the smoke. pick up an instrument that takes good lungs (clarinet, tuba, trumpet, trombone, etc) if you want to be drastic about it.

"A pretty bong
with room for ice;
the coolness makes
the hits go nice!"

 

yeah my sisters b/f matt has a bong, and I can't hit that worth shit.
