by the way, i made an apple pipe yesterday and it worked awesome! the only problem was it seemed as if the apple was burning towards the end and we were inhaling apple smoke (possibly a bad thing?) the bud could have just been lasting a long ass time though, as after we emptied out the cashed bud and i tried to prove to my friend that it wasn't the apple, i couldn't get it to light again. i am definitely going to try not touching teh flame to the bud from now on, as i bet that lighter fluid is not good for you at all.
either way your gonna get lighter fluid. Its just a nicer smoke when you dont touch the flame. I love apple and potato pipes Ill make one every now and again. The cool moist apple/potato inside is a great way to cool the smoke down and give it a little flavor, well flavor with an apple at least.
It's a stupid thing to argue about but I do it with all my friends. They are convinced its good to light a bowl with one of those torch lighters and keep it cherryed, by the third person your just smoking ash.
blunts dont burn between hits nearly as fast as joints, and if you puff puff pass between you and a friend it shouldnt be too much time between hits anyways.
