alright well first off i dont know your tolerance, the quality of your raw or bags or the quality of your tar but i read your posts enough to know how much dope you typically do in a day or 2 n im very confident n sayin dont worry bout OD'in from one hit, but you know harm reduction n all
but anyways, break off a bit from the gram, like .1-.3 depends on you really, if your tar is super sticky cut off a bit with a knife then press it to your foil n it should stick, dont tear the foil, if it doesnt work with the knife n press then throw it in the freezer for a bit, i dunno how you smoke your foils with you powder liquid but i recommend the boat (foil you foil like a hotdog, ya i know 1st grade lingo) if you can clear .2 in one hit then you got some serious lungs n great technique thats why i say dont worry bout OD'in from one hit, i sure as shit wasnt clearin even a full point in one hit, took me multiple rips. hold the foil slightly tilted, have the tip of your flame atleast a full inch away from the foil it'll run slow at first, depending on the consistency it might run fast but it shouldnt. yea def hold it in as long as possible. imo the trickiest part is focusing on keepin the flame at proper distance while simultaniously watchin to make sure you get all the vapor/smoke, but i assume you're familiar with this smokin the powder, the only real difference i see is the run cuz your used to smokin your dope while in liquid form
if you were to put the whole gram on youd end up wasting quite a bit cuz at a certain point you wanna use a diff piece of foil n i doubt you will do the whole gram in one sitting, plus a huge rip isnt always a good thing if you cant catch all the vapors in your straw/pen. im prob leaving one or two things out but that about covers the basics, if you have anything specific feel free to ask you know im always on the boards n i doubt ill be gettin much sleep tonight
also fellow tar heels if i left anything out feel free to chime in, i want chink to get the most out of his tar experience, i always like to hear people compare powder to tar, hope your product is good, merry smokin. oh n i know u said the tar is cheaper but if you end up likin it n like the bang for your buck, watch out, smokin tar will catch up with your lungs REAL fast
