yes, smoking a joint will get you higher than smoking a bowl. But the amount of herb in a joint is significantly larger than the amount put into a bowl. A lot of it is wasted, but one joint will most likely get you higher than smoking one bowl.
In smoking out of a bowl, I believe how the weed is packed is the most essential part. It should be packed tightly but not too much to the point where you can't inhale. Repacking and pushing down after each hit seemingly also makes it hit a bit better. INMO holding it in is a technique you can use with any device and will make you from a little to a good amount higher. To each their own, however high they want to be off their hits.
Truthfully xXTOKERXx, I cant really understand what you are talking about. I mean it's fine to have all your own preferences in smoking devices, but how does a pipe get you fucked for less? I guess it makes sense that it uses less weed than a joint, but inmo a pipe is the least effective smoking device. A bong or gravity bong, by far, is much more potent than a pipe. Anyways joints, and blunts are more of my thing, but sometimes, it's just too easy to pack your pipe and get a couple hits when you just want to chill out and not get bombed out of your head, usually small and portable too.
sorry can you rephrase or explain again? Head is spinning and you're bored at the same time? Sorry just having a hard time understanding that last part.
