Packing bong bowl

One hitters in the bong. I also never pack the bowl of the pipe very full. Usually just a couple of hits. I don't like smoking old half burnt weed from the bottom of the bowl. I like it fresh packed. I also like smoking a nice doobie. I'll spark one up and head out into the backyard and play in the garden.

But I'm at a loss as to how loading a bong is an issue. Put some weed in the bowl, light it, and smoke. Am I missing something?

Anyone remember those 4 ft bamboo bongs that you had to have someone light for you? Those things sucked. By the time you got the smoke to your mouth it was stale and you would be out of breath.

I learned the term "dottle" while reading a Sherlock Holmes book when I was a teen, and have used it ever since. Before I started growing I would save all of my dottle for a drought.

When I was a kid we’d just pack as much as possible and pass the bowl around.

these days I’m all about little snappers in the bong. Gotta have that taste each hit.


I remember the first time I went to humboldt and stayed at a growers house. They’d pack like .2 and lightly roast it and then dump it in the ashtray still mostly green. I couldn’t believe it but now that I have an unlimited supply I pretty much do that too.

if i light it properly i can make the ember go in the middle then expand it from there those are the best hits.
but i agreee with you cant smoke half a bong and finish later taste is bad. if i pack too much i just smoke it and go to bed hahaha

I don't like big bowls for bongs. I prefer a one hitter. It's no fun when your lungs are trying to recoup from the first hit, and you have to power through the rest of the harsh half fried bowl. Or if someone passes it to you on the second or third hit.

I use a grinder and pack it just tight enough to where it doesn't suck through.
Agreed. All my bong bowls that actually get used are basically one hitter bowls. Burnt brown hits are the boof.

I actually rarely use a bong anymore. I got tired of changing the water and cleaning the damn thing. I can't smoke through dirty water so I'm changing after every hit.

I once had some idiot let me use their bong and I didn't realize it had been sitting in a closet for a couple months with water in it. I took a hit and almost puked right there. Rotten, nasty, stale months old bong water. It was disgusting. I rarely used other peoples bongs as it's just pretty unhygienic with people putting their whole mouths on them. I've seen people drooling into bongs before. Disgusting. I have my own personal equipment that only the lady is allowed to use. I have loaners for people that come over if they don't have their own paraphernalia but I'm not into sharing a bong, pipe, joint, etc... with anyone.

Think about it. If you're sharing a bong with a buddy it's like you're kissing each other.

I’ve seen some nasty bongs I wish I’d never laid eyes on!!
if I have guests, I’ll give them their own clean bong off the shelf to smoke with.
A man’s bong should only be held by himself or his woman.

I rarely smoke with anyone anymore. Getting old, being mildly antisocial, and a pandemic have me smoking alone %99 of the time as my old lady only uses edibles. And yeah, I change my water after every bowl or two. Tedious at times, but my lungs just don't like hot smoke anymore. It's all bongs and dry herb vapes for me these days unless I'm feeling self destructive, then it's rosin dabs from my Peak or a fat joint. Clubs only for my joints.

Same experience. I was like there is still more to smoke while everyone laughed, but now I get it. Snaps out of the bong only for me.

I worked with some savages who had an old Gatorade bottle, cut hose pipe from someone’s front yard and a black piece of old coke can folded for a cone/piece.
It also contained sludge for water and they stored it in the toolbox on the truck.
classy

In highschool I had a bubbler that was super hard to change the water in. Eventually I just let it go and towards the end it was more sludge than water.

kinda shocked nobody got sick from it.
I engage in a war of attrition with the guy showing me glass when I'm in a head shop. The bowl has to be the right size, along with the holes. And it has to be cleanable. And it has to sit without rolling or tipping. And it has to work for a left handed smoker. And he can't look stupid with an ugly color scheme or stupid spikes or whatever stuck to it. ect ect. They'll come at me with something they think will impress me, and I'll show them all of the flaws. Then they put it away defeatedly and wait for me to point at something else. This will go on for a very long time, them selling kratom to people in between, and usually I'll end up leaving with only a couple of boxes of nag champa.
