well since i'm reletively new to this interesting lil pharmacutical, i just want to see how different people smoke thier stuff.
after hanging around with a bunch of tekkies(local slang) and smoking a few puddles with them i've seen a few different smoking methods.
the one i personally use(about 5min ago actually) is:
putting the crystal on a shard that i'm holding with a hairclip, melt the crystal into a puddle making as little vapour as possible, rolling around the droplets to make a bigger puddle, and let it cool solid.
then i take my lighter and heat up the puddle until it melts and keep it underneath untill it starts making mad smoke, i keep inhaling as if i was smoking a doobie, and when i want it to go out i take the lighter away, keep sucking, and hold my finger below it to cool it down.
then i keep holding whatever i have in my lungs for as long as i can. then i exhale an 8th of a breath to see if there's any fumes coming out. if there is i inhale and hold again, and i repeat untill nothing else comes out.
i shared my lil smokin methud, now let's hear some other ones.
 
im guessing when you say that you put your crystal on a shard you're talking about a shard of some sort of glass? like a piece of lightbulb right?
cuz where i come from the word shard is also slang for crystal... hehe so your method wouldnt really make sense..
oh and you use the slang "tekkies"
sounds like you're from the same area as me...
whats your icq number? we'll chat some more!
 
oic
well i'm typing from good ol blizzerdy edmonton, alberta, in the great white north (eh?)
cool, i thought that shard just ment a broken bit of glass from a lightbulb. i didn't know it also ment the stuff itself.
u can get a hold on icq @ 31887618
 
Jesus just get a frickin' glass pipe, they cost like $2...it is worth your effort, it will save you time and effort and prepartion in the long run.
Btw, glass/meth/shards/speed is not a "pharmaceutical".

not anywhere i can find here in edmonton
they only paraphnalia i could find that's not related to pot was a bumper bottle.
other than that all we got out here are lightbulbs.
and besides, u gotta love the look u get from people walking by the park when u can some other people wearing pants 18sizes too big pull out a piece of glass and start toking off it.
;p
 
My friend blows glass using a large map gas butane torch, and he makes us the shit pipes out of these glass flower tubes we get at liquour stores.
Roll fast and dont burn it.
 
I've smoked glass a few times, but I really prefer blow, in the form or poweder or rocks. I've never tried the foil method or the "shard" method like the first response described. I just use an oil pipe or a rose pipe with some char in it. Like I said, I'm used to coke, so that's why I choose those thing. Since I've not tried the other methods, I have no real way of knowing this, but I would think you'd loose more smoke doing the foil or the "shard" method than you would using a glass oil pipe or a rose pipe. And, in the end, isn't the goal to feel good with as little loss as possible of product? Just my opinion.
 
We ALWAYS use glass pipes. And we usually buy a couple, 'cause there is nothing like breaking a GP at four in the morning with a fat sack left and nothing to do it with. Most places around me have "buy 2, get 2 free" deals, or something similar, and the pipes are no more than $4 to start with anyway, so there really is no reason to bother with anything else. The only variation in this routine is that once in a while we will hook up our pipe to a bong, which never fails to get us incredibly spun...

Wouldn't the meth get absorbed by the bong water? or is freebase not soluable in water?
 
it is soluble in water, and the freebase oil form is useless. i've heard other people say this before, but it makes no sense...and with that much surface area, you'd loose a lot more from recrystalization anyway. ::shruggs:: to each his own, but id rather not risk that much loss.
 
nothing beats the bong for getting spun. I dont care if you eat it or what ever. I dont do that much dope anymore but when I did, I did enough to kill a small elementary school, and the bong is my prefered method. If your worried about losing it drink the damn water, yuk. But I guess if you cluking enough to worry with the recrystalization on the side you've probaly done worse.
 
fairy, you said it. Pipes are the only way to go or you lose a ton of smoke. Do you guys use torches or lighters to heat the crystal? I think I remember reading that it is better to use a low heat or else it will burn up too quicky. I usually use a light because the bowl on my pipe is nice and thin.
 
If you can get a hold of a test tube you can make a killer glass pipe in no time at all. Just drill a small hole (for circulation) about 3/4 of an inch above the bottom, put yer stuff in, light and GO!. Killer hits, no waste, but after a while the end starts lookin' NASTY.
 
In an ideal world we would all smoke our meth out of color-changing custom glass pipes with multiple chambers for vapor recovery and cork-padding around the handle so you don't burn yourself durring a 37 hour meth smoking session - sadly in many parts of the country/world, you can't find "oil pipes" or "vapor pipes" (remember, you vaporize meth, you don't apply a direct flame) .. so this isn't an option.. if you live in some place like Cali, you can get a simple little meth pipe for a couple bucks - not the case in many other states ..
So, you have a few options:
1) The ole Lightbulb -
I can't find the "Methbulb of Death" Thread went to.. in short - take a lightbulb, cut the very end off with a sharp razor, use a screw-driver or butterknife to break out all the electrodes and whatnot, wash out the phosphorus really good and let dry ... drop in your meth and apply a flame to the outside of the bulb, using a pen-tube, rolled bill, or straw, inhale the vapor/smoke that the bulb fills with .. if you want to get all 0-day l33t-0-burrito then you can take a 2-litere soda bottle lid, drill a hole in it, push a pen tube through the hole, load yer bulb, and screw on the cap... cover the end of the pen tube and heat the meth until the bulb is totally filled with smoke, then, with one giant GASP you can inhale the entire hit at once... hold it... hold it.... hold it... listen to friends warn you not to hold it for it will "crystalize in your lungs" .. ignore moron friends and dumb myths... hold it.... hold it... enjoy the insane rush and ringing ears, get a motorbike and act tough! The benifit to this is that since a lightbulb is ment for really hot temperatures for long periods of time, you can use one bulb for a DAMN LONG TIME before it breaks...
2) The ole Home-blown ginsing vial/air-freshner pipe -
Go to a gas-station in "that part of town" (not the good part, "that part" where "those people" live) .. in said gas station you will find rose-stems (the little glass tubes with a rose in them, cork on each end) .. in that general area you should find Ginsing vials (little glass vials full of ginsing) or auto-airfreshner bottles (little glass vials with a spray thing on one end) .. buy a few of each of these, we are going to blow glass!
For a heat source, you can use one of those butane "crack torches" or if you rreally want to go for mass-assembly get a propane torch (the little propane cans thhat have a screw on torch head) - IMO the latter is the best because how you usae your heat is what depends on if you get a nice pipe or red-hot pieces of glass everywhere .. you will also need some "tools" - I find you can make most ANYTHING from bent coat-hanger sections... just make things you can use to work with thge glass when it's REALLY HOTY ...
Alright, lets roll! I find the Ginsing vials are definitly the best as they already have one sealed end, and they have a 'li[
of sorts that makes for easy holding iwth your wire tools and also makes it look damn cool (like a real pipe)... just pour out that ginsing and you're ready to go.. light up yer torch and SLOWLY introduce the closed end of the vial into the flame... keep it tilted at an ipward angle so all the hot-air can escape - if you keep it tilted down that hot air can break the vial... anyway, once introduced make sure you evenly heat up the end... move the vial about the flame, twist it, etc... once it's glowing nice and hot you're ready to blow it - it's easy, you should have some hanger tool that you're holding the open end with - do NOT remove the glass from the flame, just bring it out enough you wont burn your face when you blow into the entry.... continue to twist it a little and then blow into it - you will notice the end will beging to bubble up, and if you didn it right it will be nice and uniform .. keep blowing and twisting as to evenly disipate (sp) the heat - eventually the bubble will get as big as it's going to and it will "pop" - actually what will happen is that a little hole will be blown into the bubble .. go ahead and pull it out, then let it cool... you will have a glass tube with an opening on one end and a bubble with a hole in it on the other.. yer just going to drop the meth into the bubble - to smoke, turn the pipe so the hole is facing the side, apply a flame an inhale... these are nifty but since these glass implements are NOT pyrex (or some other heat-tollerant glass) they WILL BREAK, and as lifes laws would dictate, it would happen when you have your last and biggest hit just loaded into it... as for HOW LONG it lasts - I have had them break on the first use and had another last for a few months...
3) The ole Foil and tube -
It's easy, cheap, won't break, and doesn't require you to spend 15 minutes creating some elaborate device...
All ya do is take a piece of foil, fold it over in half, fold that in half, and fold it in ghalf again - you will have a nice strip of foil (about 6x-8x thick) .. you can indent one end a little to avoid spiling... the easiest tthing to do now is to put it on the edge of a table, put something heavy on one end (to secure it to the table)... go ahead an drop yer meth on the end or indented area - you're ready to smoke! You just put the rolled bill (or other tube) in your mouth, apply the fkame to the underside of the foil, then inhale the vaopor - if you LIKE to pull a bigger hit, you can put a glass over the end of the foil to capture the smoke ..
Thats about it - there are actually a few other ways you can do it but that wraps up the most common ways...
You can always BANG IT!

please tell me that u got a pic of this monster that u want to share with the world
 
why bother just take a piece of glass and smoke it...
i gotta question ... if u smoke in my case opiates , how much do u smoke , until everything on the glass piece totally evaporates or what ?
and i hate smoking on foil cause even if u smoke everything the foil still produces smoke though nothing is left on it...

I discoverd the joy of inhaling meth amphetamine vapor one weekend and ended up writing out a 'meth amphetamine vaporization FAQ', or something to that effect(no, never got around to posting it). Everything you could ever want to know about inhaling pure amphetamine vapor. It sat around my computer desk until the next weekend when I got around to buying a 'real' method of vaporizing meth(an 'oil pipe').
My first attempt with an oil pipe resulted in a $5 lump of black methamphetamine. Ah, they're tricky like that. You have to melt it, then vaporize it. So while my friend is showing me how it's done, and SLOWLY melting and vaporizing, I have already torn off a piece of foil and gotten a small funnel from the kitcken and vaporized a line as my friend is saying "See, now it's starting to melt". So at the end of that binge I threw my little FAQ in the garbage. What was my point again? Oh yeah, IMHO, the foil-funnel method is superior to any other method I have seen for the following reasons:
1) Aluminum conducts heat like a mofo, no waiting for it to melt, because it vaporizes in <1 second of flame application. 2) I bought a funnel at wal-mart for $.50. 3) You won't lose any product if you do it right. So how is it done right? Well, I think Phreex pretty much summed it up, but I can expand a little bit:
1. Tubes are too tricky when it comes to sucking vapor, get a little funnel about 3" in diameter at the wide end.
2. Use a single layer of foil, it takes longer for it to heat up with multiple layers. Maybe there is a reason Phreex thought this necessary that I am unaware of, but a single layer has always been my preferred method.
3. Drop the crank(glass preferabbly, but I have yet to meet any methheads outside of Bluelight that even know what acetone is) onto a square a foil slightly wider than the wide-end of your funnel, and crimp the foil onto the edges of the funnel. Poke a very small hole(small safety pin will suffice) in the edge of the foil to create a carb. Steady your funnel/foil arm on a flat surface(did I mention not to tilt the funnel, keep that meth in it's place!), look underneath the foil and get your lighter in position directly beneath the meth, about 2" below the foil maybe. Ignite your lighter, and immiediatly thereafter start sucking. Stop application of flame when your lungs are about half full, and keep sucking until you can't suck anymore. I like to cover the hole of the funnel just in case it is still vaporizing. Hold for 10 seconds and exhale nothing, hopefully. If you are using a shady lighter, it might be helpful to have someone watching you so they can tell you not to suck up your glass if your lighter didn't light. Or, you can cover the funnel hole and watch your lighter to make sure it lights, then inhale, but you risk losing vapor when you uncover the hole, and it will cool down and recrystalize in the funnel if it sits there too long. This really isn't a big deal though: put your funnel over a glass baking dish and use a syringe to squirt water all over the inside of the funnel, letting the water collect in the baking dish, then let it evap at a very low oven setting, or overnight at room temp. Scrape up the results into a pile and repeat the above procedure. One thing I forgot to mention is that snorting anything is bad, and smoking anything is even worse, especially if it isn't even getting you high! Methamphetamine is NOT soluble in acetone<nudge nudge>.

small pipes are diffinitly the way to go.

chris use a bigger shard too then you don't have to worry about a hair clip 'n' shit, but not too big, like just under half the bulb is good, but pipes are by far better.
