Basic bowl smoking question

I'm just learning how to smoke a bowl (instead of joints). If I put a piece of weed (the stuff I've got is in bits that are about the size of 2 or 3 match heads) in the bowl, how many hits can I get off it?

If I take one hit, then flip it over and take another, the entire outside of that piece is blackened, but I assume there's still smokeable weed on the inside. Should I try to break it up to get at the unburned weed, or just keep lighting the outside?
 
You should bust your weed up smaller than that before you start smoking it, cause then it'll burn better and it's just way easier, and depending on the size of
bowl, you could split it into maybe 2-3 hits, but you should try and take the whole bowl in one toke :) works better
 
break up your weed. 2 to 3 match heads would be like 1/3 of a hit for me... maybe for you a whole one..
 
OK, so break it up into 2 or 3 pieces, each the size of a match head? And smoke one piece at a time? I have a small bowl, just big enough to fit half a marble.

How many hits can I get off each of these broken pieces? And can I keep hitting it after the outside is blackened? Or is the idea to break it up small enough that you burn through the whole thing on one hit?

where'd the old "post your piece" thread go?
 
Note: That is not weed, just some oregano and stuff I glued together to give a sense of the size of the pieces I'm talking about.

So should I break a piece that size into smaller pieces? And how about my other questions - how many hits and can you keep hitting it once the outside is blackened? Thanks!

Just break it up into a chunky powder first. Break that nug up into at least a dozen or two pieces.
Then hit it until there's nothing left but white/grey ashes and it hits clear.
 
It all depends on how big of a hit you take. I would break up the weed if I were you. When my bowls are all black I usually smush the ash down and hit it again. The way I was taught to smoke is to smoke it until it all turns white. It's what I've been doing since I was a teenager. Some people think the black ashy part is gross but I don't really get their point. If smoke still comes out when you hit it, then inhale the smoke. I would be able to smoke all that weed in one or two hits.
 
See ^^ this is how you smoke it, break it up and keep hitting
until there is nothing left. You will get the hang of it.
 
You can break it up or you can not, up to you. Most, including myself would. You'll probably get a hit of two out of that, but my advice is to keep hitting the bowl as long as you feel smoke entering your lungs. Its pretty easy to tell when you are inhaling only lighter, just do it dude... Don't over analyze shit haha

If I break it up that much, isn't it just going to fall into the hole? And won't I inhale that stuff? I don't have a filter.
 
I leave the largest piece on the bottom to cover the hole. Go get a screen!
 
its called your anchor nug. break most of what you want to smoke up super fine, but leave one little piece (just bigger than the bowl hole) to place at the bottom. the piece in your pic is way to big. break it up like you would to roll a joint.

....definitely looks like weed to me....

where do you get your oregano from? I might have to start using a different grocery store.
 
just hand break it and pack the bowl, apply gentle pressure, and smoke until it's cashed (ash or tastes like dick/asshole - whichever you like less)

Also, your disclaimer is about as useful as SWIM or saying "my dog wants to know"
 
I just talked to my dog and he said its definitely oregano

edit: he also just mentioned it's probably nsfw

OK, update, so based on the collective advice here, I broke the piece into about 5 pieces. I hit them one by one. Huge difference. I could burn through the entire little piece in one hit. Of course, this meant that I had to keep emptying the bowl and adding another piece.

Next time, I'll try breaking it up and lightly packing all the little bits into the bowl so I can get multiple hits before emptying the bowl.

Thanks for the advice.
 
A lingo question. What would you call a piece of weed the size of the piece in the pic above?
