hahahahahahhahaaha i usually pack it to just below the rim and smoke the bowl in one sitting, thats what i get for buyin mids
i usually make a Phat bowl and pack it kinda tight (light pressure) and just smoke it all at once and then ill use small one hits throughout the day when i start to come down. or i smoke a cigarette or a cigar(o how i love cigars)
Its gonna turn black eventually... they all do. And when I say black, I mean most of the inside of the glass will be either very dark or black. Thats the way most people keep their bowls; also, any color changing piece relys on the resin build up to change color. Just let it build up and then smoke it sometime. actually, I dunno if yours is a thinner one that isnt color changing... I've always owned thick color changing ones, and its good to let it build up in those. but now that I'm thinking about it, it might be ugly in a basic non-inside out bowl.
i ususally pack it a bit above then push it down so that its a bit below the rim when i smoke by myself or with people. sometimes its fun to pack a gigantic bowl though, like a gigantic blunt in bowl form. one time i packed a bowl that my friend and i smoked on for about 20 minutes straight. does anyone else do taht?
oh and on the really packed bowls, does anyone else not like to pack them to tight because it makes it hard to pull air through?
i got a big glass bowl that holds in upwards to 4-5gs. My normal one holds alittle more than a g. and snoop, i usually keep it loose if it is broken up by hand, but if its grinded, you can pack it pretty hard
