now im just waiting for the other classic tweaker debates to fire up yet again...
Like, whats best for smoking shard? Jet flames or bic lighters? One big puddle? Or two smaller puddles? Breathing/heating technique? Love it.
I guess the average oz street price of decent shard being what it is, anyone smoking it is bound to spend some time mulling these serious issues over, lol. And the truth is all those things can greatly affect how far the gear goes in the end too.
Maybe if the shit was a lot cheaper people wouldn't care as much about wastage. Buts it is also a well noted aspect of the tweaking mindset. Fuck man, i remember spending a lot of time staring at that pipe. Usually holding it a waaay too tightly and with sweaty ass hands - which is of course never a bright idea with small, sometimes red hot glass objects.. Especially ones that are increasingly hard to obtain, or at least expensive due to prohibition. But in retrospect, the only times i was ever scraping the stem was because the baggie that was loading the bowls was now empty. Never mattered how much residue had ever built up in there.. It always came with this kinda pre-comdowny, guilty feeling for me, like, i just have to get every... Last.... Little... Bit. Even if just to help me function at this point! Before the inevitable crasshhh! Ahh, good times =)
