SMALL HITS ARE BETTER THAN BIG ONES!

[Guest]

i experimented last night after reading this thread and i have to say i was not equally high off the same weed using the two different methods... i must say that smaller hits are better than large ones because the major difference i noticed was that i didnt feel like shit from coughing with tears streaming down my eyes and drool leaking from my mouth, and the smaller hits seemed to allow the buzz to permeate my tolerance better and allowed me to stay high longer without the typical crash off local bud smoked through the big hit method. the only thing that was different in this experiment is i used the small bong for the small hit method and the large bong for the big hit method. but hits are hits no matter where they come from.







some say cough to get off but i have to disagree....

Right on Truthman and rkrone... I guess thats kinda like what cigars are...inhale a bit of air and sorta let the smoke sit in your mouth. IDK i've never been a cigar smoker...but I'd imagine. I see what you mean about the tea makes sense.

 

[Truthman]

what? i seem to misunderstand your post you are supposed to inhale air after a decent sized hit to keep the smoke from sitting in your throat which can usually trigger the cough. i hate coughing. whatever allows you to get the cleanest hit possible is the best method.

I'm not talking about clearing a bong with air or inhaling air to get the smoke into the lungs.

I'm talking about taking in a little smoke and inhaling enough air to fill the lungs NOT taking in a lot of smoke and just enough air to push it down.

It's weird because we are taught to take in a lot at once but this method seems to get me higher than taking it all in at once or twice.

Also, when I say high I mean high and not stoned. I get relaxed BUT I'm still high.

Try it for yourself. What I do is light the herb up enough to get a puff or two then cover the bowl to prevent constant burning, then inhale air until my lungs feel like they can't take in anymore. I inhale with my lips pursed like I'm whistling and not a big gulp. For some reason this way of inhaling is better than just one inhale. Maybe because it allows the air and smoke to mix in together to be used at the same time instead of just inhaling one big gulp of air which wouldn't allow enough time for the smoke and air to mix.

I think besides what I mentioned in my earlier post, the reason why this works is because the oils and cannabinoids need oxygen to be used to there fullest and by inhaling so much air the percentage of oxygen entering the blood at the same time of inhaling the herb, increases the chances for all of the cannabinoids to be used as opposed to just a little bit when you take big hits due to the big hits not being accompanied with a lot of oxygen as well as most of it being exhaled out due to not being able to be used because it's too much for the lungs.

I keep thinking that this method would have someone BLAZED who did it with a vaporizer because the vapors are basically cannabinoids and other oils and not heavy tars which make up most of the vapors in smoke.

I think this is part of the reason I can get so high and use such a small amount of bud compared to people I know. They call me a lightweight, I call it being efficient.

I didnt know what to say to this thread, But now that you chimed in, im with you, I dont know if they are small, medium,or big...Alls I know is I do 2 hits of my weed and im good and stoned for a couple hours......Sounds simple to me.....You guys are making it to hard on yourselfs ! lol

i disagree, i get stoned by taking 1 huge bong hit!! grind up a nice fat rip almost a bowls worth and stick it in my glass bong's slide, exhale everything, roast her slow, suck it through, and pull the slide to clear.. follow with some oxygen and blow out any unabsorbed smoke, maybe a little coughing and the high sets in!!

I'm not saying that you won't feel an effect from doing big hits BUT with many small hits, you will get high as opposed to stoned that big hits, low oxygen give.

Also, the more ground up the herb, the better the effects.

They used to call this hyperventilating... pack that bowl and let her rip!

 

[Guest]

i havent owned a bong taller than a foot in over a year. i usually smoke out of bubblers or i smoke joints. i dont like smoking HUGE hits anymore but i do love hitting the vaporizer for all its worth!

 

[Truthman]

No, it's not hyperventilation because the essential oils actually increase the production of carbon dioxide when the oxygen oxidizes the oils and therefore there won't be loss of carbon dioxide.

I'm glad you said this because it is actually another reason to take in more oxygen with the smoke or vapors because when taking together they actually enhance your breathing which means a better metabolism, which means getting higher!.

I have to agree with DickAnubis!

Also, I've read that we only absorb at most 30% of what we inhale and that includes air itself. So, when you see those big rips on youtube and then they blow out huge plumes of smoke, all of that is thc that person did NOT absorb and only 10% of total gets rebreathed out of the air. That's 60% wasted marijuana with those big rips or huge pulls. It's not necessary and it's a waste of smoke.

it takes me a few pulls to be able to do those huge pulls especially if i haven't smoked in a while. and it's always "cute" to blow out those big plumes and make smoke donuts in the air. but it's a waste. i prefer small pulls and plenty of air and if i see hardly anything come out after i pull, i consider that a good utilization of smoke!

Yeah man, I know how big a hit I should take, and I almost always take a big enough hit to where I won't blow out 3x as much smoke as it seemed like I inhaled.
And all the time my friends will give me shit or call me a pussy because I didn't try and inhale 3 lungfuls of smoke. So I get just as high or more high then they do, and then when they are stoned, they just vegetate.

Sometimes I like to just vege and relax, but thats when I'm alone..sheesh

BIG hits are better subjectively but small hits may well be more efficient. I am not after efficiency I want maximum effect. This is done by large doses of THC delivered all at once.
If you really want to improve your smoking how about stopping the unnecessary inhalation of all the herbal smoke from Cannabis. Vaporize or smoke resin, way less smoke!
Although to be honest I do not like vaporizors because the hits are way to small. I can fire up a large hit of resin in my bong, all in one hit, the first half or more is vaporized not burnt even though I use fire to light it. With the same amount in a vaporizor it takes me 5-10 breaths to finish off the hit. For example with a volcano, with the same amount of resin, I can fill several bags, each with two breaths of air.
This is not what I want, I want it all at once in one breath.
Small hits may be better then big to you, but not for me!!!

then ask yourself how much of that you actually blow out... all that wasted thc.. more than what your lungs could absorb in the time frame. how long does it take to burn down a blunt or joint. 5-10 min. maybe a lil longer depending on how you roll it. you'll get high faster with big "effective" rips but you'll get higher and for longer with efficient pulls.

but to each his own. im in nyc. we can't afford it lol.

There was once a thread similar to this at OG.
I think it was mainly about how to smoke
with the best efficiency or how to conserve
weed when you are running low on goods.

Anyway here's what you're supposed to do:
1) Exhale as much as possible.
2) Take a hit about 1/2 to 1/3 smaller than what you normally do.
3) At the end of the hit you should still have enough lung capacity
to inhale some more air. Inhale until lungs are full.
4) Exhale slowly, at the first sign of smoke inhale to fill up lungs.
5) Repeat step 4 until you don't see anymore smoke.

I have done this numerous times and had great results.
This is a great method if your stash is low or if you
simply hate being wasteful like me. I can make a gram
last me an entire week! I can smoke everyday after work
and be completely satisfied.

As for vaporizers, I do not own a volcano or anything similar
but I do have a vapor genie which only needs a lighter.
Regardless of using the method or not, when I smoke
out of the vapor genie I get really, really high.

Sam do you mean resin like what you scrape out of a pipe?I'm a member of the bighit camp but resin?Tell me you mean scissorhash,bubble or block hashish.Do you really enjoy boiling tar lol?I must be misreading your definition of resin.

This thread is total bullshit I agree with Sam comletely.

I've always preferred one big rip to a bunch of lil small ones. Way more effect for less material. Maximum effect comes from a big rip like Sam says. There's nothing better than a one hitter of bubblehash. I hate it when people pack hash in a pipe and take little hits passing it around. I agree about the Volcano also. I have one and I prefer one nice bong hit. I don't like the Volcano too much cuz the hits are spread so thin also.

Sam means crystals when he says resin. Like hash, kief, etc.

Sam is responsible for bringing us strains like Skunk. The guys a legend and knows what he's talking about.
