Heroin Would it work to take H this way?

You feel it instantly - smoking comes on quicker than IVing (although doesn't have quite the kick). It's been so long since I smoked it I can't really recall how long a one-off use lasts but a surprisingly long time - a few hours, I suppose but depends on how much you smoke, tolerance and the like. When chasing anything I find a long, steady inhalation does the job better. As for when you should stop, that's really up to you. The drowsy effects (nodding) take a while to set in - the energy comes first - so it can be hard to gauge what a good dose for you is. Practice makes perfect :)

PS: Practice also makes addicts :|
 
god i ask a lot of questions >.>
better off asking questions than dead i suppose :)

would it be better to use a funnel shaped object, eg - a funnel :D when smoking or will a straw do the job just as well?
 
funnel would make it so you inhaled way more air that smoke, you need a straw because it focuses it so you get mostly smoke.

edit:

also, its GREAT to ask questions from people who are experienced so you don't have to repeat all the mistakes it took them to learn those answers. Ask away!
 
I always use a tinfoil tooter (tube of tinfoil with a slight funnelled shape - kinda like rolling an empty joint using tinfoil) cos it's much easier to smoke the residue that builds up inside (which is a lot). Every smoker I know has their own patented "perfect tooter". A straw is just fine though.

And I agree with Cane - questions are all good. Knowledge, power and all that :)

There's also a good step-by-step guide that covers basic chasing technique here - well worth a read.
 
^I was thinking he meant a funnel as in something that is straw-sized on one end and much larger on the other end.... like I was thinking about the funnel in my kitchen that's about 10cm wide but I suppose funnels can come in other shapes and sizes as well!
 
thanks for the info im off for the night.

also before i go is it necessary to somehow use a filter when smoking ?
 
^ Filters are not really an option, as far as I know. Suspect you'd filter way too much of what you are trying to get inside you and have never known of anyone using any kind of filter. Unless you have a major habit you're really not smoking much material anyway.

Cane: Ha! I have a great mental image of somebody inhaling whole sheets of tinfoil through a kitchen funnel now =D
 
My advice is DONT DO IT, once you have had a taste for it then it's only down hill from there, you wont miss what you dont know springs to mind!
If you must do it then then fold a 1" valley along some foil and run the H up and down a couple times then change the valley. THe best bet imo is to make a valley and pour a small amount of gear onto it and frazzle it all on the spot in one go as you lose less smoke than chasing it that way and it's easier to do.
Oh and who ever said you have to add caffine to UK gear to smoke it WTF mate, thats far from the case as it can be smoked as bought and as far as I am aware it's not cut with caffine at all.
 
^ UK heroin is indeed cut with caffeine otherwise you couldn't smoke it. The "spotting" technique (smoking tiny bits in one go) you mention is a good one for those who find the chasing technique tricky. It's not really very practical as the amounts you need to use get higher though. Also, if your chasing technique is halfway decent you shouldn't be losing any smoke at all - practice makes perfect and all that. Practice is kinda pricey, admittedly...
 
keep the straw about 10mm from the h and inhale quite hard for the first few seconds while moving the lighter up and down under the foil. however dont do this on the first puff or you will suck the powder up the straw, melt it a little bit first, this only takes a second. i try and keep the stuff just on the verge of bubbling, when it starts to bubble just a tiny bit i pull the lighter back down and then move it back up a second or so later so it doesnt burn. when you feel your lungs have reached the halfway point flick off the lighter and inhale slowly until your lungs are full, the h keeps smoking for a while after the lighter goes out and its easy to go abit too hard at first and watch the rest puff away while youre struggling to get ready again. it takes a bit of practice but its not hard. i hope that makes sense, if it doesnt i can try and explain a little more clearly if you like.

interesting that you found heroin in nz, im from there and never saw or heard of anyone having it or even seeing it. without discussing prices im going to assume its pretty pricey.
 
Yes Europe heroin is normally #3 heroin base which is great for smoking,and it comes cut with caffeine,as caffeine increases the amount of heroin absorbed into the bloodstream per hit,for some reason,maybe it open the broncial tubes or something,but #3 is always cut with some amount of caffeine to inhace the amount of H absorbed by the lungs with each hit,,I am in the US and snort powder and an occasional shot of powder H,and tar is nasty in my opinion so I do not smoke it,but it would be kinda cool to get some #3 heroin base to smoke sometime,as I would like to smoke heroin sometimes,and the time I smoked tar,it was nasty and a waste ,as all smoking may be I dunno,but #3 heroin base is often refered to as smoking heroin,so I assume it would smoke and be better than tar,although I prefer to stick to my #4 powder..
