Smoking with a Bong
Exhaling
A common mistake between newbie’s is to exhale straight in the bongs, after inhaling. This of course is a fatal mistake to make as it will push the water back up through the stem and give you wet smoke, which nobody likes.
Carbs
This is a starter’s bong smoking technique, take off the container from the pipe, this exposes the pipe to the outside air pressure, this pushes the smoke into your lungs much more effectively. This results in a greater high.
Please note: Some plastic hookah pipes will have this aperture apart from the tube.
Packing the Bowl
When packing the bowl it is important to consider a number of things including:
- Are they used to smoking much? You don’t want people passing out after a few puffs!
- The quality of smoke? If the smoke is really good you should not need much, if its mixed, pack it in!
- How many are sharing? It is a real ball ache waiting an eternity for the pipe to be passed around because it is over packed each time.
- How much stuff is available How long are you smoking for? It isn’t always easy to get hold of and there is nothing worse than running out! If you are low on supplies, reduce the bowl size accordingly.
- Are you the host? You might want to ask how much they want you to pack in each bowl! Some people can easily get upset.
Golden Rules
Don’t spill the water pipe, the water will stink for days perhaps even months. Not to mention that if you smash the bong you are in big trouble! No matter how much you breathe in, always be nice to the hookah pipe!
Use it all up, you will know when it’s finished. The water pipe will be empty and the pipe is free of smoke. Don’t waste a drop!
