What is your favorite smoking technique?

[SpiritWalker]

Hey guys, it's been a while! Glad to see the forum live and kicking again. I was just wondering what some of the favorite smoking techniques are as my friend is looking to improve his experiences and I feel like my friends favorite method is wasting too much.

My friend tried a glass meth-style pipe but it was too much like crack or meth - felt very dirty. My friend usually does it sandwiched between parsley in a waterbong. My friend says that cannabis clouds the experience and he's looking for a pure experience. He can smoke cannabis whenever he feels like it, but he wants the real spice feeling!

Problem with the sandwich method is that my friend feels like a lot is being wasted. Him and his wife will usually go through about a half gram during an experience between the two of them (eyeballing it). That seem like too much. The experience also doesn't seem to be as intense and takes 4, 5, sometimes 6 hits to go anywhere.

My friend tried xanax the last time with spice. The xanax was to calm the body from pre-flight jitters. While the experience was definitely smoother, it was not nearly as intense and everything was in black and white (go figure). He doesn't believe the elves liked the xanax at all. He could see how cannabis would come in handy here though... hmmmm

Anyway, just wondering if anyone would recommend a more efficient way. By the way, does the water in the bong dilute the smoke or anything weird like that?? Oh by the way, my friend tried a vapor genie. Total garbage and waste of money. Wound up throwing it away.

Glass Vapor Genie aka GVG. With 6 screens and a small base of ground caapi vine. The GVG is incredibly better than anything else I have tried and its portable which is cool if you want to vape in nature, which is my preferred location.

The vaporizer hits sooo smooth and is very efficient.

My friend has never tried that (vaping in nature). It's usually in a dark room, some Enigma playing in the background, on the floor with his wife. The lights from the room though (computer lights and what not) HURT his eyes BAD. Sometimes he uses a sleep mask. He's on his last bit of MHRB so he wants to do it RIGHT as there is no telling when and if there might be more. He's considering Acacia, but it looks like a whole lot more trouble than noman.

Ugh, what terrible times we live in. But outside, at night in the park may be a great experience

any thoughts on this?

morning SpiritWalker,

I find that the best method is infused herb/changa in a smallish glass bong, its a similar method to the sandwich but, IMO, its much better.
I think a bong and infused herb is just as good as a GVG

that vapouriser looks like it heats by conduction so I would give it a miss, just get a nice bong instead

Depending on the bong, careful lighter movements + controlled breathing results in highly effective vaporisation, but it is not for beginners heh

morning shanedudddy2,

how is a bong and infused herb/Changa not for beginners? its the easiest method possible,

1. load bong
2. cherry the herb
3. finish in 1 toke
4. booom your done

or am I missing something???

 

[Purges]

GVG or Bong for me. GVG is more efficient though IME, plus no pyrolized material which is definitely a bonus!

Why did your friend throw their vapor genie away?! :surprised Sounds like they didn't get the set up quite right, it is fantastic for vaping DMT. This makes me sad Half a gram is 15-20 doses as well

 

[What a substance]

A "The Machine"!

I could not find a GVG in Europe (UK) but truth be told a single serving (miniature) brandy bottle (just > $2) carefully drilled at the base and spice loaded into course wire wool, along with an Arc lighter...cock-a-doodle-doo!

 

[TMK]

I have only used the GVG. I find it very effective and easy to use. Also it looks and feels like the appropriate tool for the sacred ride.

 

[jamie]

A nice glass water bong/bubbler and some kind of leaf mixture.

 

[universecannon]

changa? big water bong

freebase? gvg

 

[○]

1:1 changa in a bong.

 

[stoneyone]

Bong every time. Smoked harmala on top of herb fallowed by dmt smoked on top of herb. Go deep!

 

[Parshvik Chintan]

changa in the bonga :thumb_up:

 

[arcologist]

2:1 spicy mullein leaf in a (gravity) bong, wowza! Anything less than 3:2 ratio and I have to smoke more plant material than I'd like.

 

[endlessness]

GVG no doubt

 

[Vodsel]

I've tried bong, pipe, machine and even joint, but GVG takes the prize for me as well.

 

[fastfred]

I've seen the GVG talked about a lot here. If it's the one I'm pulling off google image search, then it looks just like a regular glass pipe to me.

What gives? A couple extra screens doesn't make it something magically different. Or what am I missing?

In any case, to contribute something... standard vaporizing techniques seem to work well for me. Meth type glass pipe or a broken light bulb and a straw seem to work just as you'd expect.

 

[3rdI]

It has a ceramic sponge which helps regulate the temperature, it drops into the top of the bowl and you pull the flame through it.

Your methods both use conduction which is not ideal, what's your dosage with said pipes?
