How to Smoke From a Glass Pipe Correctly
For the best first time smoking experience possible, buy a glass pipe that fits comfortably in your hand. You should also choose a piece that feels stable and well built, and heavy for its size.
But don’t spend a fortune. There is a good chance that your first few glass pipes will get broken. Instead of focusing on expensive name brands, opt for a heavy-duty hand blown piece in a style that you enjoy.
Grind Your Herb
Before you put weed in a pipe, you need to grind it up. This helps your herb burn more evenly and avoids waste. Plus, it will help you remove the stems and seeds that you don’t want to smoke.
While some smokers prefer to use their fingers or scissors for this job, you’ll find it much faster with a proper twisting grinder designed for use with marijuana.
Avoid electric spice and herb grinders, and they will likely provide a finer texture than what you want.
Pack The Bowl
The next step to smoking out of a pipe is to load your ground weed into the bowl. You’ll want to push it down gently without packing it in too tightly.
A bowl that’s packed too tight won’t let enough oxygen in to burn well, and it will be difficult to inhale from.
Not sure if you’ve packed your bowl tight enough? When it comes to this step, less is more!
Spark Up
So now that your pipe is loaded and ready, it’s time to learn how to smoke a bowl.
First, examine your glass pipe for a carb. This is a small hole in the pipe’s outer wall, designed to control airflow.
Once you’ve found it, cover it with one fingertip. If you’re using a carbless pipe, simply skip this step.
Next, hold a lighter to one corner of your pipe’s bowl with the flame just above your herb. Then, take your finger off the carb and inhale gently.
Your breath should bring the flame down into the bowl, gently igniting your weed. When you’re done taking a hit, place your finger back off the carb and give your lighter a break.
Ready, Set, Smoke!
Now that you know how to smoke from a glass pipe correctly, you’re probably excited to give it a try.
Just remember to take your time, start off slow, and you can always add a hit or two if you want to later on. Always try new products and pipes at home before taking them in public or around friends.
