There is no particular order to any of these.... Just as they pop into my mind. %)
Well after looking through the threads, not feeling particularly helpful, or tolerant I decided to finally actually post the tips and tricks I've learned about smoking crystal, some from my years of reading over threads on BL and other pages similar. Also getting those sites where they are scaring you away from touching anything ever again. Yes, meth is VERY dangerous if handled improperly, but if we are going to choose to use, personally smoke, it then we should be able to find information on how not to have your teeth fall out, or as my dads HS friend melt his uvula. Anyway, before I go into a rant here are some of the thing that I have noticed I take care to do or not do while cleaning, packing, melting, or smoking efficiently.
Like the fact that you blow out the first hit because its highly acidic because of the final step of an acid bath, NOT because you can melt the cut out. (everyone has an opinion about this) Im stingy as hell and i am even willing to let that first hit go. You can to! Haha :]
Evryone will find their own way of getting the best hit, the most important thing is to not let the heat sit in one spot. The darker your pud gets the more your over heating it. Then eventually your just inhaling harmful chemicals. Not to mention waste of shit, and money.
If you don't crush up your shards before you smoke them your likely hood(as a newb) of burning your shit is like quadrupled, not exact unit of measurement guys, hahaha. I personally like to break it up a little bit, but not to a powder. just smaller chunks. I do a long slow first melt getting a nice and even coating around the base of the bulb. I also use a wet washcloth to help instantly recrystalize the product. That being said I wouldn't suggest anything other then Pyrex, simply for durability, not even factoring in the other Pros to using Pyrex.
Say you made it to the end of the pud with out burning anything but your still getting an odd taste that wasn't noticeable before, If you turn the hole facing dow and release only butane into the bulb for about 10 seconds then turning it over and touching the flame to the top of the hole will cause a blue glowing and it will soon shoot out the stem and hole. Just a quick blow through the hole or stem and try again, taste better?? (personally never known this not to work so if you have I would love to hear your experience)
When you remove the heat from the pud make sure to keep twisting the piece, the glass should be hot enough where it is still vaporizing the pud even after the source of the heat is removed. Always rolling it around on the wet cloth so as not to get a small thick pud that will just burn while you try to melt it thoroughly.
While melting your pud getting ready to hit it you can hold the piece still and move the flame. Hold the flame and roll the piece, or if your like me and like the pat your head rub your tummy challenge, Try rolling the piece and rotating the flame at the same time. Its become natural for me to light it for my friends so they can spin and i can rotate the flame simultaneously, because they all have noticed considerably larger hits. Again everyone will find there own preference.
OH, if your one to smoke the resin (not sure thats chemically the proper term) I personally used a couple drops of hot water and shake the shit, and slowly evap the water out leaving a recystalized pud. If this is the way you do it, the longer the stem the more of resin you will have, also packing through the stem makes the end result drastically more significant cause bits and pieces get stuck to the stem walls. I personally don't like this cause I am convinced the particles coming out of the stem are making it taste WAY worse. Again, personal opinion though.
I apologizing for the jumping around, i am just typing them as I can think of them.
Say you've smoked the puddle in its entirety or even a couple, and you notice chunks forming randomly through out the inside of the bulb just scrape them down and melt and smoke like a regular pud, or just let em build up and use with the water trick. Again, little things like that are going to come down to personal preference.
I know there are a million little things i tell my friends and others anytime I'm smoking, but of course when I want to get it all in one place its a blank... Haha
If you start to notice your mouth getting that acidic taste/feeling a salt water rinse and proper oral hygiene will straighten it out. I could do a whole post about how to keep your mouth from looking like you chew on rocks, so if your specifically curious about that that Just ask and i will go into detail of whys and what not, or whatever direction your question is heading in, to the best of my knowledge.
I could go on forever,
hahaha So if you have any thing to question, dispute, or just straight up discuss! Please feel free. I really want this to be an informative and helpful thread. Also still curious about shrooms and meth so any experience with that drop a little knowledge on me! :D
