I always liked the pipe or bowls. If the weed was too strong like having a tendency to induce nervousness it could be controlled better with a bowl. Take a few good puffs of well ground stuff and wait plus i always used to say that a pipe gets everything. with a joint there is some smoke just wisping off into the air and maybe a little getting shot away if the person just tosses it. to each his own
 
my year old or so vote for blunt has not changed.

blunts all day.

bong rips are for the hash, oil, and whenever I'm out of wraps :)
 
Best way to smoke hash oil?

I have recently got allot of hash oil, whats the best way to use it???8o

I just smoked 3 hit's of the orange hash oil out of a bowl...
 
The most original smoking method I've seen was described in the champion Little Golden Book of Hallucinogenic Plants. Members of an African tribe would dig a small hole in the ground and in it burn twigs and sticks down to hot coals. They'd then place a handful of Ganga onto the hot coals, stand a straw or tube upright on top of the pile and cover it over with soil so the straw/tube sticking up acts like a chimney for the smoldering herbage beneath. Indulgers would then prostrate themselves and smoke mother earth. I reckon this one takes some topping although I havent tried it yet.
 
That sounds awful. Why would you want to lie in the dirt and huff barbecue fumes? If you want to smoke from the earth, why not make a water pipe in the ground Afghan style?

Afghan water pipes? Do go on....I'm quite interested in traditional methods of smoking.

I couldn't give 2 shits about all these new fancy £1,000000 bongs with double diffuser ash-catching ego-inflating wallet-shrinking percolatin' pieces of shit. If that's whoever's game, then that's cool, but not for me. I have a handmade pipe from an incredibly cool rasta in the streets of the Bahama's but that's usually for Salvia Divinorum. Other than that, I have a wee bubbler that a mate gave me...Anyway, this has nothing to do with what we're on about (I am mainly thinking of a pal of mine who I listen to ALL DAY LONG about all this fancy new technologically-advanced ways of smoking and ridiculously over-priced crap and really when all is said and done, it does the exact same job as a wee £7 bubbler - rant over!)

So aye...afghan water pipes you say?

I am interested in buying one of these (I have a glass on glass bong; there are also non-glass on glass versions for you stoners who haven't caught up yet ;)), specifically for hash oil, wax, kief, regular hash. I already have a nice ash catcher for smoking cannabis itself in.

Thoughts, opinions? I think I'd prefer this to a ti-curve aka skillet any day (pictured here).

I know we have some very knowledgeable and dedicated stoners here, so any info would be helpful.

I prefer a bong that has an ash catcher, so the bong itself doesn't get as dirty as a bong without an ash catcher would. An ice catcher is nice too to help assist in cooling down the smoke.

I would agree that percolators aren't necessarily worth it; the more layers of water the smoke has to pass through, the worse IMO. Two layers of water for smoke to pass through is more than enough for me.

Pipes and small bubblers are nice, but I don't think regular bowls are as efficient as a bong with an ash catcher. When bowls are generally smoked, unless they are very small, the smoke tends to be more hot, so you can't really hit it all in one hit. This increases the amount of smoke that is wasted in between hits, whereas, with a bong, it's exceedingly easy to cash a hit in one pull, even with the ash catcher which does increase the total amount of time a pack takes to burn completely.

Thought I should mention one of the most epic sessions I have ever witnessed. A friend of mine who has a pool saw the bottom off one of these: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6zp1A6Yt2ak/TXl633jIm9I/AAAAAAAABzM/p_XNVy5A_-0/s1600/s14928_water-jug.jpg, fastened a hookah bowl on top and used it as a grav bong! IN THE FUCKING POOL. We had to swim underneath it while someone else was lighting it, pop our head up in there and take the biggest breath possible. Two people passed out once they made it out of the pool after only one hit. I'm surprised no one drowned. I highly recommend this to everyone with a pool.
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned already or not but this is the coolest way I've ever smoked weed, my cousin showed me. You take a cup, like a brandy glass or a stemless wine glass, the kind with a fat bottom and smaller top and put it in the freezer for a bit. You roll a joint and stick the "tube" part of a pen on the end. Grab the chilled glass, light the joint, stick the cherry end in your mouth (carefully!) and blow the smoke through the pen and into the glass. Like shotgunning but the pen should be touching the bottom of the glass. The smoke will just chill in the glass until someone "sips" it back.

I recently bought a new bong madeof glass with a outside-perc (A percolator which is not closed so you can take it out for cleaning etc) and a diffusor.
Weed now has a whole new addictive aspect to it. I already liked smoking bong before (had a quite nice acryl bong without all the fancies) but now its just so amazing.

Everytime I "name" her I'm so fucked up I forget it by the next day, so she remained nameless for now.
Superfancy bong

The picture shows how the outside percolator works very nicely. =d

stay green
 
^What makes that better than a normal bong? It just looks horrible, don't you get smoke in your eyes and stink all the time?
 
I agree, I tried a gas mask once just for the experience. Never again. You basically have to keep your eyes closed, which is dumb in itself, if you don't want them to burn like a mother fucker... You're better off just taking out the hose and smoking from that if you don't have anything else.
 
Joints are the way to go for smoking outdoors and with company - they're social and very pleasurable to smoke. Also, I find that the taste of the weed is best expressed through the joint (or vaporizer, but that's not smoking).

However, I'd have to say my overall favorite is the bong. When I smoke at home by myself, about 80% of my toking happens through my bong. Quick as you like to set up and smoke (although I do love the ritual of rolling joints), doesn't require large amounts of weed, and gets you baked VERY quickly, often inducing a form of rush as the weed kicks in. Additionally, it's the perfect weapon of choice for smoking anything - oil, hash, and weed all burn equally well in a bong, while some may be unsuitable for joints (or at least require careful preparation to burn properly).

I only like "extreme" smoking methods like waterfalls/gravity bongs, hot knives and the sort when I'm drunk. Especially gravity bongs are very economical and can get you very fucked off a small amount of cannabis, but I find the bong does this to an adequate degree, and gravity bongs and similar contraptions take smoking to a level where it is no longer enjoyable and more like a competitive sport, which I don't like. :D The good ol' bong already has enough "let's get fucked up!" power in my book.
 
My vote for the poll was for "other", as my favorite way to inhale cannabis is using butane hash oil in the following device.

NSFW:

This piece was custom made by a scientific glass blower. A 'glass match' a borosilicate glass rod with a small ball annealed to the end, is heated using a butane, or propane torch, then 'dipped' into the oil in the 'well' turning the oil directly to vapor. This has been the most efficient, and most pleasant way to consume hash oil. I will use my second choice of a water bong (glass on glass) with a slide bowl when smoking bud. Ice is nice, but I usually only do a couple rips at a time, and the ice is melted by the time I am ready for the next round. I have used the 'skillet' method and found it slightly harsher with a trace metallic taste not found when using my device. That said, I would prefer using oil on the skillet,over bud any time.

One hitter bong?

I know about snaps, but I got a dugout and a bat and last night when I got medicated, I thought it'd be cool to make a bong and use my one hitter instead of a bowl. The hitter didn't fit in my glass bong so I just used one of the small soda bottles that cokes come in.

So the question is, has anybody heard of something like this? If there is, what are they called? It works great also and so effective.

Thanks.

-Brian
