my friends and i were in a session and we thought of a great idea. tell me if this is possible. so we realized that you blow out a cloud of smoke, if youre not hotboxing its a total waste. could you potentially blow it into a balloon or something, then inhale it later? or would the smoke absorb in the side of the balloon or something?

EDIT: Experiment Results : i tried this at 1 minute after exhaling, 5 minutes, and 15 minutes. 1 and 5 got me high noticeably (5 was barely though) . taste was bad as expected, but i would say for all you scab smokers all there, this is a viable option.

NOTE: i purposely inhaled and exhaled into balloon right away so almost nothing was absorbed into my lungs. so after a normal length of holding in the smoke idk how much would be left to exhale

yea we're all hardcore potheads so we just care bout getting stoned not about the taste but yea i would predict that too..

maybe i should just try it and report back later?
 
Thats not a good idea at all man, you should have absorbed most of the good stuff by the time you exhale..

But save it for later? I can't even begin to image how stale that smoke would be, it would pretty much redefine the term "stale smoke" altogether. Just hoxbox if you really want to get a little more out of your exhale.
 
I've never done this or known anyone who inhaled stale smoke in a balloon but I know people who would exhale into a balloon and then later go outside and pop it to hide the fact that they were smoking indoors from their parents.

I'm guessing that the smoke would just absorb into the balloon? Why not try it out?
 
I'm sure I read somewhere tobacco smoke pwns you if you let it go stale for a while..
 
How would you keep it without all the solids falling out of suspension and the THC condensing? If you hotbox a room, it doesn't stay smoky indefinitely, the smoke ends up as yellow staining on the wallpaper.
 
I have done this, but not saved the smoke for later - i simply exhaled into a balloon in order to not waste the smoke, and took each hit again from the balloon immediately.
I really don't know if it helped.
But I have tried "power hits", where I smoked from a pipe, then exhaled directly into my girlfriend's mouth. She took 3 or 4 power hits from me, but didn't smoke from the pipe, to test it, and said that she got high. It seems that a balloon would do the same thing.

I know that some people believe that our lungs utilize all of the THC very soon after inhaling, but I have tried holding hits in as long as possible, and it seemed to get me VERY HIGH.
(placebo effect? oxygen deprivation? both are possible)

that was my question dude. i am curious as to the timeline of that happening
 
the "timeline" isn't important. this is a funny, stoned idea, not a great idea. hold your hit for how long you want it in your lungs the first time.

nah dude its a good idea think about it. you could potentially smoke, blow it out right away into a balloon, then inhale balloon later in a place where you couldnt spark up normally. it potentially has some good uses..
 
THC has a boiling point of ~190C so below this it will condense and form crystals on the sides of the balloon. Plus alot of the "good stuff" is already absorbed by the time you exhale.

By all means give it a try but its probably a waste of time IMO.
 
Scientifically it's a complete waste. By the time it's in the air / you exhale it, the THC will be GONE! :)

IMO, it's pretty disgusting too.

If you want to have the smoke just "there"... The closest you're going to get is with vapor & a bag vape e.g. Volcano.

On a related subject, here's a cool trick. Take a GLASS pintglass or similar, put it in the freezer until it's frosted, and then blow smoke into it. It will just hang there. Won't really get you any more stoned but it's a cool party trick.
 
Sounds interesting never thought of it. I don't know how long it would last for.. I have a few buddies who when smoking crack would exhale into a balloon and would re inhale it over and over until there was nothing but this was only a few minute after it was initially blown into the balloon.
 
ummm unless you have a volcano dont try that unless u wanna puke. ive left a volcano bag overnight and hit it the the morning with no prob but ive puked of stale gas mask bags or parachutes.

not true...

but i tried this... at 1 minute after exhaling, 5 minutes, and 15 minutes. 1 and 5 got me high noticeably. taste was bad as excpected, but i would say for all you scab smokers all there, this is a viable option.
