First and foremost, let me get one thing out and the open and crystal clear.

NO FORM OF CONSUMING WEED IS A WASTE IF IT'S ENJOYED BY THE PERSON POSSESSING IT!

Now on to my ode to smoking out of everything.

Bongs- The more fun piece to smoke out of. One of the more intricate, yet classy ways to smoke your ganja. Very dirrect, very smooth hits, and can deliver far more THC into your lungs in a single hit than most others. With a fine bong and a good glass screen on the bowl, there's very little waste.

Gravitybong/Waterfall- These I like to think are enjoyable by people for the simple fact that everyone's got a kid living inside of them. Think about how these devices work, and how fun they are to look at. It almost makes you feel like a kid at the beach with your pail of water and the little toys you'd pour it through. This is the most effective way to get A LOT of THC in your lungs all at once. My waterfall can do up a gram of pot in 1 go (it has me in a stupor beyond retarded). I rarely bust out my waterfall anymore though, as it pulls so hard you get treats from the smoke. Very economical and fast way to get some weed up in ya.

Pinchy/One Hitter- For the connoisseur with a reasonable tolerance on the go, the one hit is the piece for you. Enough herb packed to satiate your stoner needs, yet economical, small and compact, very easy to conceal. If you have the quality bud, and low enough tolerance and need to save that green (money and herb) this is the way to go as one can be had for as little as 2 bucks.

Bowl- These pieces come in a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from spooners, to a long Gandalf wizard style. Great for on the go, or packing a pretty good amount of weed to share with you and a friend or two. Bowls are always nice, and a clean one will really get the flavor of some good buds across. The one drawback on these, and the one hitter, is they tend to shit weed, tar, and ash into your mouth.

Steamroller- Like a bong without the water to cool it, very hard hitting. I personally don't care to hit a steamroller as I think it's too harsh (but I'll milk a bong). But to each their own. Someone else can write an ode to the steamroller.

Joints/Blunts*- There's a sort of prestige a stoner carries when it's known they can roll a fine blunt/joint. This person is often revered and very appreciated when three's buds but no bowl to be found. A finely rolled joint can last a good long time, and waste very little weed... Providing the roller has skills. I can smoke far more weed in a blunt or joint at once and get far higher than if I were to hunker down with my bong with the same amount of pot. The bong will get me high longer, but only because bongs take me a while to smoke, due to the delivery of a lot of smoke at once being harsh to the throat and lungs. Let me put it this way, I've never seen a 1 once capacity bong.

*Disclaimer blunts contain a tobacco leaf wrap, which is not acceptable as use for Medical Marijuana.

Glass Blunts- The wave of the future. They take a minimum amount of weed before you can utilize (just like a blunt, or joint) and there's a bit left over at the end when done smoking (just like a blunt or joint) but the magic of this device is, YOU CAN CHOOSE HOW MUCH YOU PACK! And it will always hit just as nice all the way down. You can take as much weed as you'd roll in a pinner joint, and save yourself smoking all that paper and getting weak ass hits. Instead you can have a few quality rips off the glass blunt and bowl up the rest of the pot. Genius idea.

my discription of bongs would be that they will get me allot higher than a joint using much less weed and i will feel it around 20 seconds after ive done it however the peak from about .2 in a bong would be like 5-10 mins after depending on the bud but i would need about .5 in a joint to reash the same peak but that would be about 10 mins after smoking a joint and slowly wear of for anuva half hour or so where as the bong would only last about 20 mins max.

i smoked a .4 joint about 30 mins ago nd done a .2 bong about 10 mins ago so dont expect to understand this post the first time you read it =]

I dunno, I can roll like a gram joint, and smoke it in like 15 minutes, or I could pack like .5 into my bong (at the very most, 1 gram in my other one, but I don't use it often). If I'm smoking from a bong, I have to take breaks between hits, so it takes me longer to smoke less. Unless I use that chloreseptic spray for sores in your mouth that numbs everything.

i need to get a bigger bowl, the one i have at the moment can only fit like .2 in .3 with a squeeze =[

im terrible with my bong tho i load up the bowl rip it about 2 possibly 3 times till its all ashed then i load up another bowl thats meant to be once the bong starts wearing of but i always rip it within the next 2 mins =D

my bong is amazingly smooth i cant be bothered to go through the mods but basically the rush hole/carb is the size of a bottle lid, and you unscrew the lid when your ready to clear it so its na huge breath. its better than most of the glass on glass ones ive tried but then again ive only ever tried like 5 lol

( by the way my bong isnt a bottle lol its an actual bong but ive added shit to it, thought i should add this )

Never heard of a glass blunt wow!

Easily pleased i know... now i'll skin up a three skinner and google it lol stoned surfing cant beat it.

Well, now that it seems everyone is in agreement that this is a worthwhile thread... I'm going to take the liberty of stickying it in 'Methods' for future reference.

I don't claim to know the first thing about growing anything; hell, I can't make a Chia pet sprout.

That's good.


I'm not sure why anyone would think it not a worthwhile thread though


Kinda bummed me out when I woke up and it was gone.

I do plan on going more in depth by making up diagrams and the like for each piece.


But I'm working like 55 hours this week at work, so I havn't got a ton of time.

I haven't seen anyone mention some of the best and healthiest forms of smoking

Vaporizing!!!! Not actually 'smoking' as you don't burn the weed, rather you heat it to the point where the trics bust open and you inhale a nice smooth satisfying mist of THC and water vapor. PLUS you can use the left overs for cooking! (or smoking outta a pipe if times are getting desperate)

however, that is not the best way to SMOKE, IMO
that would be SOLAR RIPPING!! woo hoo!!
what you do here is you take your bong (or pipe but you'll want the bowl away from your face) and a magnifying glass. Put on your sunglasses (we don't want anyone going blind here) and cover the bowl with your finger. Use the magnifying glass to focus on your finger and see how hot it gets. Once you have the distance right, remove your finger and readjust for the space difference. Inhale slowly until it gets going.

IMO solar ripping is BYFAR the tastiest way to smoke

Another form, which provides some novelty is knife hits

I find this works esp well with some hash.

Heat two knives (they will get permentaly discolored) over your stove. Gas works best but you can do w/ electric just weave into the coils a bit. Once they are good and hot (almost red) you can drop your herb onto one knife and then press the other knife on top. This will burn the herb almost instantly and you need to be prepared to take the smoke. Either use a paper towel roll, or a cone of some type above the knives to direct the smoke to your waiting mouth (it might require a friend) or once skilled enough you can use the angle and direction of the knives to allow the smoke to roll off the blade and into a nice pillar into your mouth

ill try and think of some other fun ways...

Im surprised no one has mentioned using fruit or vegetables. Like say an apple where you take a knife and make a cork of sorts on the top which will you then poke holes through to make the bowl. Cork out almost the rest while still leaving the bottom intact. Then using some type or cylindrical device like a straw or skewer and bored out another hole for which you smoke out of. If you use the straw get one with the flexible top and you can use this for the stem kinda looks like a sherlock when done. After you've smoked all you want you can eat the apple. Did it once when i was bored and it was fun.

I've personally used a bunch of different things for smoking devices but the next one was very fun to make. A carrot can be used quite succesfully and last for longer then a day. What you do is take a carrot and chop the fat end off right at the tip then take a knife and slowly starting rotating the knife in your hand, this will start to form a cone shape. Keep rotating till you reach the desired depth. Then take a skewer and plunge this through the carrot till you get to the end of however long you want it. If possible get a screen for it or go into your bathroom and take the one off the sink.
