Mods, kindly place in proper place.

Question for cooks/smokers: WTF is that brown stuff that remains in the pipe after the crystals are melted down that smells like gun cleaner? I use a torch to smoke and I *think* that I have heated the ice too hot for too long and it reverts back to one of the precursers? Or what...? When it gets like that I take a Q-Tip and remove the rest of the residue (a little tiny puddle) and toss it. It tastes *TERRIBLE.*
 
If there's stuff left in the pipe after all the dope has been smoked and it's kind of brown and really hard to get up, it's burnt up dope. You're letting it get too hot. Remember that the hottest point of a flame (if you're using a bic) is about 1 inch above the flame. You should never put the flame on the bowl itself. If you're using a torch you should keep the flame at least an inch from it when melting the crystal down, and then after you let it crack back (remove the cut if it chokes you out when you hit it bla bla bla) and start to hit it, you should melt it just the same way and then as you start to rock the pipe back and forth, just barely heat it as you rock it. Just enough to get it to smoke. No, don't keep it so cool to where the smoke is just barely going, but don't get the bottom of the pipe black by heating it too close. You shouldn't have to wipe the bottom with a rag after every hit. That's how you dirty up a pipe with burnt dope, and then when you go to load another bowl, you lose quite a bit of your new dope because it get's mixed in with the burnt dope and won't rock back and forth with the pipe, thus, making the pipe even more dirty. If you do start to see burnt dope in the bottom, melt the crystal in another place, even if that means you have to put it on the side of the globe and be careful not to let your dope spill out of the hole at the top of the globe. (I'm an EX-SMOKER. I don't do it anymore and I never cooked it or was around it being cooked.)
 
No, I use a torch, so I don't get carbon all over the bottom of my pipe and have to wipe it. I am prolly doing just what u said, which is overheating it. A torch gets a HELL of a lot hotter than a lighter. I guess I just gotta remind myself to heat then cool heat then cool...

When I said I had to clean the bowl I meant the inside of the bowl. Why? Because after a few good hits a nasty little puddle forms that taste like shit. I just heat it until it is liquid then stick a q-tip in to soak it up.
 
It's burnt up dope. And ya...hit it a couple times going very lightly on the pipe since you're using a torch, just enough to get it smoking good like I said, and give the pipe a 2-3 minute break. That stuff does taste like shit, but it will still get you high. You've been able to get it good and clean with just a q-tip because you aren't smoking it till it is gone and burnt in the bottom. Like I said though, easily heat it.

edit: and try using a bic sometimes, you don't have to be so careful with it. You can easily overheat and break your pipe that way and then you lost that entire bowl lol. I know how aggravating it is to lose a bowl that way lol. Then you got to go to the head shop (or gas station if they sell them there) and get another pipe/glass rose and I always felt embarrassed about going in and getting those things lol.
 
Sometimes i get that brown puddle that tastes like shit too (even when im careful). The brown is sometimes because your shit is impure. But probably its cuz your overheating it because you use a torch. If you see the crystal start to bubble, its too hot and your wasting your shit (and it will taste like butthole). My solution: use a needle, lol.
 
Please don't advise people to shoot up. If they ask something about how to properly do it/what they need that's one thing, but don't tell them to mainline.
 
Ya, I used to use a needle! For about 20 years! Went homeless and got a felony conviction behind it! lol I'll let the Big Smart Onez handle the IV drug thang.

Anyhoo, I have been smoking for about a year and have *never* had my pipe blow up on me. I'll shout out when it happens. I have had a lighter blow up, which was a real problem as I dropped the spoon and the H went on the bathroom carpet. :-(

Hey Doug, lmao, that is very "crackhead" of you to buy a rose stem pipe. :-) I know EXACTLY what you are talking about, lol. I go to the head shop and spend $10 for a proper glass pipe. I have seen a crackhead use those rose stems and they crack and split. Fook that! I don't even know why people do crack if they can get ice. Just personal preference, I guess.

I am not going to smoke something that looks and tastes like gun cleaner. It is just too nasty. Azzhole is prolly cleaner than that sheet.
 
They make glass roses that have the globe on the end, and the only way they got fucked up with me was from getting really nasty in the bottom or if someone overheated the bowl with a torch trying to get the built up residue and it went *ting!* and half the bowl fell to the ground. Only time I'd go get those was if the headshops around here were closed lol. Most of them close shop by 9 o'clock where I live lol. And I was saying I felt kind of like a crackhead going into the gas station OR into a headshop to get one. Just asking for the "incense burner" was kind of a shameful, embarrassing situation, whether it be a glass rose OR one of the thicker ones from the headshop lol.

edit: one of the times I asked for a glass rose in the gas station, she looked at me with a very grave expression and asked "straight or bowled?" looking at me like I had just pulled a gun on her and asked for all the cash in the drawer lol.
 
I don't let anyone hit my pipe unless I hold the torch. A vast majority of smokers don't know how to smoke. To smoke ice in a bowl is almost an art form. BTW, my guy just got popped. No more hot times...for now.

I din't know that glass roses were straight or bowled lol. The dude I know got his roses at King Dollar. He was one of those types that got real fookin paranoid and tossed the pipe inevitably anyway. I don't get paranoid. On anything.

Why did you stop? And did you switch addictions and are currently clean, or what...?
