I have a general idea of how to hold a Chillum, but I feel I don't have it quite right.:o
I hate to ask this question fearing i'd sound like a fool. How do you properly use a Chillum?
:D
 
1. You can hold it like a cig, with the bowl pointing a little bit upwards so you dont spill out anything.
or
2. Make a fist with one hand and place the chillum between your pointer and middle finger, with a little air pocket inside your fist. Then inhale in the hole created with your pointer finger and thumb. Once it's cherried you can use your other hand to cover your fist and get a better hit.

The second method is, of course, more sanitary if your sharing but its just easier, and usually will give you a better hit just to smoke it like a cig.
 
You should smoke it something like this, using both your hands to make a big chamber.

Like this you get huge proper hits, much much bigger than if you would put it straight to your lips.
 
Have you ever smoked a chillum? Try it out. Your hands act as an extra chamber to cool and collect smoke.
 
I imagine it would give the smoke a little time/space too cool off allowing you to take in more smoke.
 
Just got back from smoking a couple of bowls out of my chillum.
I think I got the hand technique worked out, I exhaled massive hits considering it's a pipe.
 
Sounds like you got it then :)
You can also put some cloth that you made wet on the end of the chillum to further cool the smoke.
It's a bit annoying smoking like that for me, but gets rid of burning embers flying down your throat.

Basically all i smoke anymore is a chillum. I used to use the hands technique but stopped because it was a little annoying and with wind you cannot use your hands as a shield. Also my hands would always stink.

I dont find the need for the extra chamber to cool the smoke. I can handle ripping it just fine without. I'll try the method you showed though next time though.

Thats a good idea, never thought of it. You could keep it on with a rubber band and take big rips without worrying about scoobies.
 
^ my chillum bowl is small enough already

edit: Iv never actually used a glass screen. Are they small enough not to matter?
 
Does a glass screen really make a difference?
And yeah, smoking through your hands make them stink to no end.
Sometimes I even end up with resin stains all over them.

Good idea about the rubber band by the way. In hindsight it seems so obvious...
It's like when I came to the conclusion I should use saran wrap instead of tissues to block the holes when cleaning my bong; it took me a really long time and then I was like of course...
 
the stone is used to stop the huge burning embers flying into your palm, mouth, or throat.

a simple tiny pebble works.
find one to fit your chillum that lets airflow through ;)

(the small grey bit)

they usually have a small hole thru them.
 
Smoke it like a cigar, let all the smoke collect in your mouth, then let some slowly creep out and inhale hard to ghost that shit. Decent effect and it gets you high

Just don't hit the pipe with your lips on it. Eliminates any burning embers from entering the mouth/throat.

also, would a metal screen suffice as a substitute for the stone?
