Smoking in Hot Tub - joint locks up

[steve667]

Ok I smoke in the hot tub a lot. I have noticed on nights when the humidity is higher (coupled with the hot tub humidity) my joint will lock up. What I mean is I can't draw air thru it. I can roll it between my fingers and loosen it up but it only last for a half a puff. I know it has to do with the moist air I am pulling thru it but what can I do to keep this from happening... aside from not smoking when it humid cause that ain't gonna happen.

Have some specialized hot tub weed that you let sit out and get overly dry.

- have no fear - some bright spark will come up with a de-humidifying toking helmet - soon enough - us humans are ingenious - lol

Stick a toothpick or a paper clip into the mouth side lengthwise down the joint. You must be careful to keep the toothpick in the center of the joint so you do not pierce the sides. You'll get a great hit after that.

Solution = 2 Joints in Baggies ?

or a Floating Bong ... like one of those inflatable toys kid's use.

 

[TychoMonolyth]

1ml of a good oil 1hr before you jump in.

You could always use an old school pipe.

Bong rips, it will have no time to get moist when you pack a bowl and light it up. Also keep your weed dry, jar, baggie,...etc.

For me, the wettest part, like trying to smoke a joint in the snow or cold wet weather, is always the part that goes into the mouth. The harder I try to draw, the worse it gets. I put the joint into a mouthpiece or roll a filter into the joint now and get great hits all the way down joint for me.
Good luck
Peace, God bless

I like to grind well, then roll carefully, and wet a J beyond anything I could of possibly rolled it at. I can't imagine how wet it could be getting, that could do as you say. I'm thinking we need a pic of one of your joints. I suspect it's compaction during the roll that's causing a density issue that the humidity is pushing over the edge.

Try Raw brand tubes. I find a rolled doob can get oily and not finish, but those tubes finish perfctly.

 

[Ringodoggie]

Raw Tips.... absolutely. I use them in all my joints and it's really too much hit for most. I love the way they hit. I can almost guarantee they will do the trick for you.

 

[xavier7995]

I'm picturing a little briefcase of jars for special purpose weed. Hot tub weed, weed to smoke while pooping, weed for inlaws, weed for outlaws, etc.

This x1000.

Roll your joints with a filter and you will have no more problems.

They got us comin' and goin' payin' for those damn tips. At a dozen doobs a day, I must have spent a few hundred bucks on those raws before I caught wise that any 90lb paper works just as well.

Buy a sketchbook. And some drawing implements. Boom.

Outrageous what those guys actually charge for that tip paper. I don't want to calculate it out right now, but sketch paper, as expensive as it is, is at least 10x cheaper than filter paper by weight.

The pre-rolled TIPS and the CONES are crazy expensive for someone like me who smokes 20 joints a day but I buy the carton of 50 packs of 50 for under $20. That adds less than a penny per joint.

I buy this type.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/RAW-ORIGIN...800917?hash=item1a4439fdd5:g:cmMAAOSwvGlagzcv


I also use ELEMENT rice papers but I don't like the way they curl on the end so I am looking for another paper if anyone has a favorite to recommend.

Are you referring to the two bottom corners of the paper as you are rolling up the joint? If so, cut the bottom corners off like the ziz zag kutcorners. I do it when I roll with Elements King Size.
Hope it helps.

Peace, God bless

I use a small rolling machine (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Zig-Zag-AU...032559?hash=item3d699efe6f:g:sqIAAOSw6ShZSE1N ) and the way the Element papers are bulk-packed, the entire bottom edge curls and is difficult to get started in the rolling machine.

Cut corners is a great idea and might work. I'll give it a shot and let ya know. Thanks Hmmm? Maybe folding the corners will keep the entire bottom edge stiff.

So how long do you guys stay in the hot tub ?

I've seen 2 people faint from overdoing it. 3 if you count the Bikram style yoga class.

One fainted from spending too much time in the hot tub, one from the steam room, another from the way over done hot room yoga class (temp was 140+ F).

The hot tub I go in is usually about 104 or 105 F and I last anywhere from 15 minutes to 30 minutes.

 

[steve667]

I've started using a much coarser grind and not as tight of a roll... problem solved.

You are lucky to have a hot tub - imagine what one could do with a whole fleet of rubber duckies -

- oh - back on topic - I managed to get all dizzy after exiting just a normal hot bath a couple of weeks back - maybe something to do with blood pressure? - I did have some Amnesia to toke just beforehand - so maybe that was a contributing factor.
