physiology of big hits

[waveguide]

just a dumb thread, when i take big hits and you're trying to squeeze a little bit more in.. like you've only got a bit of weed and trying to make it all burn in one hit.. i get full up then there's a point where it feels like some flap of skin in the back of my mouth is pushed up and caught by the lung pressure, like if i try and force any more in it feels like it's caught wrong.

i don't think it's some growth because i can recall it feeling like that for years, but not when i was a teen, maybe i didn't have the big hit technique down.

so this is just some stupid shit post, because i'm always training for bigger lung capacity.. anyone got any tips/tricks on this? i mean.. i know the body might have some kinda limit.. but i'll be damned if i'm going to let it cost me that bit of weed that would get burnt up if i have to light the bowl again. anyone got some kinda insight for surpassing the "stuck flap" hehe

i thought you meant something else. misread the title

I'd rather have my lungs than a tiny bit of half burned weed.. N I'm out of weed atm so my words have claret!

Can I suggest a smaller bong then you'll feel like a champ every hit!

i thought this was going to be about the science behind big hits

Small hits, less chance of chokage

Big hits, more chance of chokage

Havnt you removed your lung cap yet?

And you call yourself a toker !?!?

That flap you're feeling is likely your uvula.

^^^ heheh yah

i can't go around complaining about my uvula. let's call it a lung cap.

the 'lung cap'/ uvula hangs down from the top, if its pushing up from the bottom it must be something else

I like to think bigger hits get you higher.

You may be taking air into your stomach. Try burping once...does smoke come out?

I can inhale burps and burp them back out, but sometimes when I take a big hit..about 5 minutes later I burp and smoke comes out. It's soooo weird.


Is your uvula hurting? LOL

You don't want to explain to the doctor just how exactly you suck the hickey on your own uvula.

Damn, I thought the title of this thread said Physiology of big tits....but big hits is very different....nevermind

In junior high school they showed us a movie where pot smokers were inhaling smoke into their stomachs. And I always thought it was crazy reefer madness nonsense.

That flap which keeps food from going down the trachea is the epiglottis. Your vocal cords also close to shut off the windpipe when you swallow.

^^ The epiglottis. The only reason I know that is because its about the only place on the body besides the ear where you can find elastic cartilage. Epiglottis, Ear, Elastic... Good review for my upcoming exam

I pack about .3-.4 into a bong at once and smoke it all to the dome. Every time. 4-5 times a day.

Get high

I knew a guy like that back in High School. I remember one day there were several of us that went into the nearby woods at High School during lunch, to get stoned. This guy started bragging about his bong hit abilities. He pulls out this homemade bong with a huge party bowl on it and said he could finish it all in one hit without coughing. The bowl had an opening the size of a half dollar coin and was about as deep as a quarter (the coin). The only guy with weed calls bullshit and fills the bowl. Sure enough the guy takes it all in one hit without coughing, even held it in for like 10 seconds. The guy with the weed was just totally shocked and says, "I can't party with you anymore dude you smoke like a gram or two every hit."
