Got some white widow and a spoon pipe today, but I need help extinguishing the bowl

Ok well I like to conserve my weed and I don't have money for a bong right now. But every time i take a hit from my spoon, some smoke escapes from the bowl, and sometimes it stays lit for a ltitle bit and a lotta smoke escapes! How do I keep it from doing that?

 

Put it out? I use a lighter to deprive it of oxygen for a second. You might as well use the little bit of smoke that creeps out, so breathe that in when you fill up your lungs.
I see that you've been asking a lot of noob questions (and your name, of course) so I'll take a second to pass on a lesson you might already have heard. When you take a hit, leave some room in your lungs to fill up with air. This drives the smoke deeper in your lungs and ensures that you're not wasting smoke in your throat or upper lungs.

 

cover the bowl with a quarter or the bottom of you lighter after your hit.

don't use the side of your lighter. i was at a party once and a kid was using the side of the lighter to extinguish the bowl, and the lighter got really hot and he threw it up in the air and it exploded. it was fun to watch cuz i was on acid at the time.

another time i used the the side on my lighter to extinguish my bowl and the lighter began to swell and i got scared. so i threw it out the window.

i reccomend using a quarter to be safe

 

if you can just put your thumb over the bowl for a second. It shouldn't burn you unless you touch the burning weed itself.

 

I use the palm of my hand, as long as the bowl isnt too full of course, but the palm of your hand completely cuts of the air supply.

 

Not that much escapes if it's dense bud.

 

why would you smoke a dense bud? wouldn't you break it up first?

 

Depends what kind it is. If it is meant to be fluffy then it needs to breaking up. If it's mids that I need to smoke a decent bit of to get high, then yes I break it up, but it is still dense. I dont tear it to shreads, I keep it as little nugs, but it is still dense.

 

i use a grinder and make it really fine.
anyways use your finger tip dude. Do it real fast, push down like your packing it right where you lit it and put it out. Common sense? Thomas Paine?

 

dont use your lighter it just crushes the bud instead use your thumb or palm to cup the bowl and it saves the smoke
