Inhaling - Nice hits

[Vivious]

I am a casual smoker (about 2-3 times a month) and i hate harsh hits. Metal pipes are the worst, then short joints, then Gravity bongs. Even normal bongs give me a harsh hit most of the time. Is there any way to get a nice mellow hit.

you can get a water bong

[freshedout]

it cools the smoke so it isnt as harsh

[hacnslash]

well, he mentioned that normal bongs give him harsh hits, i assume he meant a normal water bong.

if even bongs give you harsh hits there's not much you can do, maybe try a vaporizer? Bongs are made for this exact purpose of cooling and filtering the gunk out of smoke, so ya know, they should provide the best hits.

Actully, normal bongs only give me harsh hits if i take a big hit. That right there seems to be my problem, i try to take too big of hit and it ends up being harsh. And for the record, "I hate smoking weed, smoking weed sucks; however being high is one of the greatest feelings know to man." I think that is why my hits suck, i want to do it quick and fast and enjoy being high. Oh well, such is the life of a newbie.

well, maybe higher quality pot is the answer...if you're smoking shwag, your lungs might thank you if you give them some nice sticky bud. Also, i have definetely had some horribly harsh weed before and some very smooth perfect weed, both times it was bud, so you never really know until you smoke it what kinda it is. just don't ever get the harsh one again

what is a harsh hit

[Vivious]

where it burns the back of your through bad and you cough for about 5 minutes, then drink lots of water.

Get a good handfull of peppermint leaves. Chop
them up really small and imediately fill your bong
well with the leaves.

Add Cold water and crushed ice until you have a
peppermint/icewater sludge.

I can't guarantee it'll be much help. The weed now is
a lot harsher and not as strong as I remember it to
be years ago.

It is worth a try, though.

yea ice helps or you can ease up on the hits cause it only burns when i take long hits

Purchase a clay chillum and clean it immediately after smoking, every time. My chillum has probably endured a kilo of high-grad hashish and it still tastes pesrfect. If you ever go to Christiania, in Denmark, they sell it at lungeklinikken. There are also web-sites that sell them, try searching for Alvaman(maybe it's two n's, try as you go), chillums made by him are expensive, but a lifetime investment, if you treat them well they will be good to you for a long, long time.

Ice Bong

try getting a bong with a ice catcher, you can put ice all along the chamber so the smoke is really cold and nice against your lungs. also try drinking water after every hitso your throat doesn't get dry or scratchy

Thanks everybody for the replys. Well i think i am getting better at this. i went out and smoked last weekend and i only had one bad hit, and that was the first hit of the night. Most of it was out of a glasspipebut there were a few bong hits. I just needed to learn to slow down and enjoy what im smoking, thus leading to much nicer hits.
