Question about smoking crack (again)

ok, over the weekend I had my 3rd time smoking crack. I'm getting better each time, but I still think I'm not doing something right.
Anyways, I have a 3 inch glass tube. I stuff the pad in one end and put the rock in. Then I put a piece of rubber tubing on the other end to smoke inhale through.
I guess I'm just looking for the best way to get a hit...as in how do you get the most out of it?
Do you tilt the pipe down (smoke goes up) or not? Should you see a large amount of smoke when you exhale?
Don't get me wrong, it felt good. Just wondering if I'm doing it right. Sorry for the newbie ? Thanks.
 
What kind of "pad" are you using as a screen?
How much rock are you using in each hit?
How long are you hitting it? until it is completely burned up?
and how much yellow oil builds up on the sides of the tube after a few hits?
Hit it until you almost have to cough and hold it in as long as you possibly can. Yes, you do exhale a lot of smoke. I used to always use a chore-boy copper scouring pad. And if the screen isnt dense enough, it burns away quicker. Oh, and dont use a damn can either.
 
just curious, but are crack questions somewhat of a touchy subject or taboo around here or anything?? I was just wondering because of the way
your post is stated. Any one have any feedback about this? thanks
 
Well I personally hate the drug as I watched it ruin my exboyfriends life for a long period of time but luckly he has recovered even though we are no longer together.
But to add if you do use choreboy remember to spread out the choreboy and burn off the gold looking stuff that is on it then wait for it to cool and roll it up to about a inch or so piece.
From what I saw of him smoking it and how to hold it he always held it straight of course be4 he did that he would put in the peice and pass a flame over to where it would not fall out when he placed it straight.
Thats about all I know of it. And by the way as I said I watched it ruin his life for a long period of time so plz use carefully don't let it become a common thing alright.
 
On my first and only time i put it in a spliff with draw and i felt the effects.
Just one question, that day i didn't know anything about crack and treated it like it was cocaine. My cousin and i started snorting the little that was left. We dont particulary know if we felt anything cause we were still high at the time.
Do you get any effects from snorting crack?
 
Do you tilt the pipe down (smoke goes up) or not? IF you tilt the pipe down wont your precious rock fall the hell out??
I dont smoke crack this way but have seen plenty of fiends making love to the glass cock in my day. They all usually heat the shit up a little before actually taking a pull (I would think it would waste a little but they say it makes it better.)
Ive Never seen anyone have a piece of tubing attached to the stem - but I guess you have no choice with a 3 inch tube. You can buy crack stems all over the place by meIt seems that every gas station/convienience store carries the 'glass roses' which is basically a crack stem with a paper rose stuck in it. (Gotta commend the genius who figured out how to legally sell crack paraphenalia).
 
i just get the vibe that a lot of people really look down on crack, even amongst the drug users. people who i have shroomed with or dropped E with, if i had even mentioned crack to them they would've looked at me like i was an absolute fiend in the worst connotation.
 
Crack just carries a notorious reputation of turning once "normal" people into whacked out junkies. I've never smoked it, so I dunno what the stigma is all about, but it doesn't sound like the best way to spend time and money.
 
First off, I'd like to say that crack is a big waste of time, and money. you're first hit is the best you'll have all night. After that you just chase the high. That's why you think you're doing something wrong. Also, those little 'rose' pipes that you're using suck! Use a lightbulb. It'll ensure that you get all the product rather than have it melt and drip past the chore-boy. Then you have to sit there and push the residue forward and hit then... Well, you get the idea. But, um, yeah... STOP SMOKING CRACK! You'll get more out of powder.
 
^- A ball of crack is alot more fun then a ball of coke, though.
Of course, through my dealer a gram of hard costs the same as a gram of powder...only the real crackheads buy by the .2g "20 rock." Get a dealer who sells by the gram.

I use a copper choreboy as a screen. After 1 or 2 hits the rock is all oil and I just let it go to the other side of the pipe. Then move the screen over there and repeat.
I just hold the flame under the pipe for 5 secs, until it starts cracking, and then start hitting it. So the lighter stays under there for awhile. I got a blister on my thumb last time from having to keep sparking the lighter.
How far away from the pipe do you hold the lighter? So the flame touches the glass or not? I noticed I get more smoke when the glass is still hot from the last hit.
Anyways, thanks for the help.
 
LOL!. that is the trademark of all crack users is burnt fingers!, its a huge mystery. no matter how careful you are, when u are hitting a rock, your brain just does not recognize that your fingertip is on fire. I have know a guy once who used a car antenna and hit the mofo so long and hard it burnt into his top and bottom lip and had to go to the hospital to get it removed. Just be careful with those glass stems too, after a while, you have gotten them so hot they will just shatter in your fingers. I predict you doing this in the near future when trying to reload and stuff another piece of chore boy down into the end. I used to have cut up fingers 24/7

He he. I was wondering if that happened to alot of people when smoking. I was just smoking away and I knew the lighter was real fucking hot but just fought it out. Then after I was done I looked at my finger and it was raw. Damn, from now on I'm using 2 lighters and switching. :)
 
the best thing to do is get some of those big ass q tips, or the regular ones will work and dip them into some rubbing alcohol and light them and use that flame to hit it with. But since this is a harm reduction website, I have been clean from it for almost 11 months now and as someone said earlier, you will end up not getting high anymore. It just a weird thing with this drug. the first 2-3 times you smoke it, you will get blown out of this world, but then there is no more high. After about a week when i first started smoking, I continued to smoke for no reason. so you continue to chase that first high but you wont get it. its fucked up. if i were to go get a rock right now, all it would do is just get my heart rate up and make me feel sketchy but there is no euphoria. The euphoria ends after the first few times, but for some reason all you want is more.

How exactly do you use a lightblub to smoke crack??? Where would you put the drugs, how would it work????
 
Ok, not that I've ever made a light bulb but, here's how to do it.
This is just a rough how-to I don't really have the time to explain in-depth.
first break off the metal threads on the top of the bulb. then you will find some glue on the outside and glass covering the hole. Scrape the glue and carefully break the glass apart. NOT actual light bulb or you'll have to start again. Then you wil notice some white shit that is covering the bulb. this is bad so we need to get rid of it. Pour some salt into the bulb shake it around till all the white stuff comes off. Then when the bulb is all nice and clean and you just have the shell of it mind you, throw the crack (or whatever product you desire) into it take a straw or pen tube and sitck it in the bulb holding it with your teeth. light the bottom of the bulb and hit that shit up.
Hope you get the idea. If not ask you're local tweeker how to make one. Fastest I've never seen someone make one is about 30 seconds.

The whole idea of the lightbulb is so you can get all the product without having to fight with the chore-boy or the residue on the side of the tube it's all in the bottom of the bulb with no place to run from the flame.

how to smoke crack:
get a glass tube or a tire guage. if using the latter, bang the head of it on the ground until it flys off, and dump all the shit out of it so all you have left is a hollow straight metal tube (shooter). get a piece of chore boy about maybe half an inch long when stuffed into the pipe. burn the shit with a lighter until the copper color is gone. stuff it into your shooter until near flush with one end of it. throw a piece of a rock on it. hold the lighter very slightly above it until it melts, but if it starts burning and crackling you've melted it too much. take the pipe to your mouth with your head back and the pipe straight up and down. start to hit it like this. once it stops crackling start going down with it, still hitting it, until its pointed completely upside down. hit until you cant hit it any longer. hold that shit in as long as you can, exhale, and BAM!

edit: one of the advantages to using a tire pressure guage over using a glass stem is that when the shooter gets hot, you can just take a wet washcloth to it to cool it off. try that with glass and it will shatter.
