Effects - Crack Smoking " Ringer"

[nonlinear]

hey,

SWIM has heard about the ringer that you can get from a hit, where you apparently hear a ringing or clanging bell noise. SWIM have never had this expereince before, despite smoking what i think are pretty big rocks. SWIM also holds it in for along time and/or use a rebreather.

sometimes SWIM does get pretty high from these, and can sense a strange 'noise' or have altered hearing somewhat, but it's not a loud ringing sound.

Is SWIM just expecting too much? how big of a rock do you need in a single hit?

[nonlinear]

i think it's pretty lame that people don't reply to posts on this forum, especially when a lot of you seem really expereinced.

well, anyhow, SWIM figured out a method for getting super high. you need to use a pipe that you can load a lot of rock into. SWIM loads about 3 hits worth at a time, and uses a plastic bottle pipe for this. SWIM first melts the rock into the ashes a bit so that they don't fall as easily and to help absorb into the ashes. then he hits the pipe really hard at first, until the rock is totally melted, and then hits very slowly until vaporization stops. then he hits hard again in an effort to vaporize any liquid at the bottom of the bowl.

the highs from these are awesome, a major ringer. people have told SWIM that they wouldn't fo this, because it seems wasteful and because they are scared of ODing when they are alone. SWIM notes, however, that when doing this you take longer periods between hits, so that somewhat counters the increased load. also, SWIM isn't concerned about ODing. It seems that some people have an adverse reaction to coke (e.g. SWIMS best friend would get seisures on coke, had about 10 of them and eventaully suffocated one time when allone). for these people I would not suggest doing this alone. HOwever, for people who are affected normally, I would go ahead. it's tough to OD on crack because you just can't get a reallyl huge dose in a short enouch period, and the half life of coke is small.

SWIM likes to take these big hits every half hour or so, and take normal hits in between.

i would be interested in hearing replies from people who have heard about this, e.g. methods and expereinces.

Watching a kettle will not make it boil faster. What I mean is, be patient. Members post in good time. However if a topic has already been covered, which I think this one already has, then the only responses you may get are-utfse. Especially if you imply this is a lame forum!

From swims experience 'ringers' only happen when IVing. He has yet to get one while smoking crack. Swim doesnt recommend to start using the dart however. Ringers arent that big a deal and smoking crack is much safer than injecting.

"Ringers" are not a good thing... sudden, loud tinnitus can actually be a sign of minor bleeding in the brain & stuff like that!!

SWIM is wary of seeking massive rushes when doing stimulants... it's not that much fun, and it can be very dangerous. ISO, much of the risk from "speedballs" are really just related to IV'ing coke (which SWIM doesn't necessarily condemn, he just thinks it should be done cautiously).

Swim was wonderin what it means when a ringer happens. Swim heard that when a ringer happens it means you almost are having a stroke. Is that true?

Any info would greatly be appreciated.

son, a ringer is the reason we are all here.

The ringer is that hit, you spend hour after hour trying to recreate...

the first time swim took a hit of a Hard core smokers pipe that had reisen in it, and swim bet him swim couldn't get a hit out of it.. .let's just say swim lost the bet... handily.

in two mintues, swim literalry could hear aliens talking to him. I wish I could have recoreded SWIM. Most of the time you are fucked up and don't know it. a ringer is when you take a hit soo good, you KNOW you are fucked up.. bad.

to answer your question, it's a really really really good hit

[madlost]

LOL swim knows its a really good hit, but it does mean something. Swim heard from many that it means an almost stroke or something like that.

[madlost]

Anyone else?

[markdahman]

When u take such a fat hit u cant even hear people talking really.. Theirs a distinctive degree of distortion swims gets in his ears its sounds a lil like this woooohm woooohm woooohm!

[wudupdoe]

yeah dude, bellringer.......its the "high" of crack...................

[ai]

it's called a ringer because your ears are literarly ringing... it's like a bunch of chitter chatter...

a good hit like that will last your average smoker a good 15-20 mintues, and I mean LAST to the point where youc an't even think about picking up a pipe

[Nervouz]

Swim has tried everything from different shooters to loading huge rocks but swim never achieves the ringer. When swim puts large amounts on he ends up either gagging, puking or swallowing the hit... any help?

[Woodman]

I heard from someone that you need a long shooter or 1 1/4 inch long screen on a 4-5 inch stem.

Melt .3 gm - .4 gm into the screen.

Let it cool for a bit while the intended smoker breathes in & out real fast to load-up on oxygen.

Exhale completely, evacuating as much air as possible from lungs then, holding the stem pointing skyward, slowly start to draw in the hit.

As the resins melt, slowly lower the stem (so that gravity won't pull resin out the mouth-end and into your mouth) while continuing to put flame to it and draw the hit.

Eventually, the stem should be pointed slightly downward (though not enough so resin drips out the front end -gotta keep an eye on it), and as SWIY draws air through the stem it will crackle vigorously.

Hold it as long as possible.

That should be a monster hit.

Exhale into plastic bag to recycle smoke left-over from monster hit.

From the rules:

• Use descriptive Topic Subject. This will help others find what they want to read. Topics with bad Topic subjects may be deleted! - there's nothing more annoying than looking at all those stupid "A stupid question" subject lines. I mean, I'm damn lazy, but how hard is it to type "A stupid question about (insert something here)"? As a rule of thumb, most thread titles should include the full name of the drug discussed.

A rule many tend to forget will cause a mass of warnings soon...

*Seriously: SWIJ cuts and pastes this at least 3 times a day: She is getting pissy!*

i'm told that exhaleing through the nose adds to the intensity(you get high from powder by sniffing maybe same is true from smokeing. i also heard that switching smokeing method helps eg. going from stem to water pipe or going from screans to choreboy also scrapeing the "res" and mlxing it with fresh base is good

have fun

[bluecow]

Swim has said Ringers are lush, and gets them lots. Swim reccomends loading pipe with as large a sone as you can possibly inhale in one go. Try and go for as long as possible between pipes and then it can often be repeated.

swims hits only last 5 till 10 minutes

[paperclip]

swim says you gotta do a big fat "gooey"... right after its cooked, when its like the throat goober ya cough up in the morning.... best ringer.. swim just had

I am not the most regular visitor to DF (I wish I was, I learn a lot from the luminaries who have been before me) but when I read threads like this I have to quote my friend (who isn't me) and he is of the opinion that drugs like Coke (whether smoked, injected, snorted or chewed) affect individuals differently.


He, (my friend) has never had a "ringer" but occasionally goes temporarilly deaf. He assures me this is often after a good "hit" (whatever that might be) and he further assures me that quantity alone does not assure a good hit. He seems to be under the impression that good quality and good company are far more inducive to a good experience - deaf or otherwise.

You don't always have to hear a "ringing" type sound to actually get a "bell ringer". It's just a figure of speech.

For example, SWIM only smokes serious clack. It's even better is SWIM's clack glitters. I don't know why, but it's usually better. Anywho...when SWIM takes a hit...SWIM hears her EVERY LITTLE SOUND and it's amplified 1000 fold.

It seems like SWIM can hear crickets whispering two doors down.

[PliersOfSociety]

Yeah. "Ringer" is just a word. SWIM and SWIM's friends prefer the word "zinger."

Smoking it just right - hard to give exact steps for doing this as flame length, distance from stem, whether to draw slow and steady or or puff, stuff like that all varies according to pipe and screen and changes as screen gets more used, but after decades, SWIM still gets a zinger whenever SWIM wants, not always with a big one either. And SWIM will hold a minimum of 30 seconds when SWIM wants one. It's all in the technique.

It IS important to realize that seizures and cocaine toxicity and such can and DO occur and the longer one holds it in and the more zingers one has in rapid succession the more likely this is to occur. SWIM has witnessed it (although not firsthand) and it's not a fun thing. SWIM even feared it once when a zinger was lasting several minutes in its intense form.

So, be careful. Just practice technique. SWIM keeps plenty of cricket-style lighters that can be controlled as to length of flame AND Bics for number of lights and consistency and alternates, sometimes mid-hit.

thinking back to the good ol days when the crack was good quality. smurf was wondering if he is not alone with the tunnel echoey buzzy sound one gets after busting a nice rock along with the light warm rush & numb feeling with that sweet taste?

smurf has smoked with a few people & they say they dont hear the echo?

[Benga]

tunnel echoes, bell sound, ringer, sounds familiar ?
