Basic bowl smoking question

[RustyBurrito]

this is what a typical bowl pack should look like. make sure you break it up well (with clean/dry hands or scissors if you don't want your hands to get sticky) and pack it down a bit with your fingers so it burns slower and more evenly.

looks like what you posted is probably .2 of a gram or so...probably a bit less. Most people would refer to that as a small nug or nugget

you want surface area and oxygen flow so you can control how much you hit, and so that it burns easily.

I get quite sticky stuff, so I like to mix it with tobacco to get it a bit dryer. i mix ~ 3:7 T:MJ, go over it with scissors until it's a fluffy powder. This way i smoke less, can control how much i inhale better, and lose less down the hole

that's a pretty small bowl imo so yeah i could see that cashing in one hit if your really rippin the flame through it.

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 know i dont mean to be rude but there has to be something said for learning from experience, if you never do something how u gonna learn, you can ask questions on the internet all day long but seriously dude, stick the lighter to your piece of bud n suck, if u get the thing ignited then it will burn from one side tot he other, no nead to flip

anyways dude, you're new n i assume you're young n we have all been there before but seriously in life try doing things and working things out as you go along, you dont need someone to tell you what to do all the time, especially with things that are incredibly basic

i've never been good at breaking up weed properly, so i suggest just buying a grinder and a glass or metal screen. they're not that expensive, plus you get kief.

It's your bud man, try breaking up differently and finding what fits best for you. the amount that could be good to you, to me I might need more or less. it's all up to personal choice on how to smoke
