Question about Bong and Blunts

Basically, my mates having a free house on saturday night and I made a bottle bong today, but Im going away tomorrow till friday and wont get to use it will then. I used a proper stem for it and I was wondering do I put a foil bowl (with tiny holes in )in the cone-y bit of the stem, cause theres a hole the width of the stem and otherwise the bud would fall into the water, and how much weed should I put it at once. :sifone:
I also heard that some types of foil are bad when you inhale their fumes for your lungs, so which type is safe (aluminium, tin etc)

Also, when you roll a blunt, do you need a filter / roach on it? Cause I heard you dont but then what stops all the shit going into your lungs? And they also put like a quarter ounce of weed into it and Were only buying a 40 bag (which is 4/7 of a quarter ounce)? :sifone:
Cheers in advance

 

four sevenths?

 

You should buy proper metal screens for your bong, at any headshop/convenience store even, but if you can't get any use tin from a pop can and poke little holes in it with a needle.

You don't need a filter, you don't need a filter for joints as well. What stops the plant matter from going into your lungs is a) its sticky icky b) its packed tight and c) once it starts to heat up it all fuzes together.

If you only have ~4g then it's going to be a ~4g blunt isn't it you don't NEED a quarter ounce of weed in a blunt, you can put however much you want to a limit. Obviously you need at least ~2g but people roll ounce blunts and even bigger.

 

We are probably getting a 40 bag(about 4g) so we wont do too many blunts, and theres only 4 of us and most of us are new to weed (two of us have done it about 7 times, one of us has done it twice and the other never so) and we were thinking about making spacecakes too Cheers for the info

 

By the way, how much do you pay for a quarter ounce cause where I am in the UK its about £70 for a quarter

 

about 70$ CDN here.

 

its 100$ for me
where i get it lol but i always go for the good s**t

 

Honestly man if yall are "new to weed" I wouldn't waste it in a blunt, some peeps will flame for saying waste but whatev. I can respect the "novelty" of blunts, especially if there are half a dozen plus peeps smoking, but really, it's a waste, put it in bowls and pass it around, will go way farther I guarantee. As for "space cakes", I wouldn't count on 4g's supplying you with that and smoking for four peeps, general rule of thumb is expect to consume roughly three times the amount it takes to get you high if smoked (so if half a g gets you high, plan to eat 1.5 g's give or take).

Do what you're gonna do, most of all have a badass fuckin time, it will never be the same again! Not to say it gets boring, but those first months truly are something special! Oh and as for screens as Mr. Writer mentioned, if there aren't any headshops around go to a harware store or convenient store that has a hardware section and buy aerator screens for sinks...though one session or a couple sessions using foil or cans won't hurt you bad, foil or cans in the long run are just nasty...

Oh and not to poke fun hehe but saying 4/7 of a quarter is a bit funny...as already mentioned expect to pay 70-100 for a quarter, if you're talking chronic/kind bud/fire whatever slang floats around, otherwise if it's some commercial/brick weed, don't get swindled for more than 40 (or 4/7 of that price, sorry I couldn't help myself hehe just joshing) Oh and finally, as aforementioned, no need for a roach or filter on a joint or blunt, the only thing going in your lungs is the smoke, which doesn't need filtered, any tiny bits of plant matter that pull through will only wind up in your gut or coughed out...have fun man!

 

Id rather stick with the roach with the joint to be on the safe side, if it ever falls out I just hand bong it

 

Excellent advice! Yes it is a shame how many ppl WASTE weed on blunts!! i mean blunts are GREAT if you have lots of extra money- seriously- its a smooth high and yes nice to add into the mix- but you can get like, omg probably, depending on the size of your bowl (and as I smoke alone daily, this is a HUGE deal for me financially), like 8 bowls worth out at least (going by the type of pipe I typically use) out of ONE blunt. And if you guys are new and/or recreational, and we've translated that in American you are hopefully getting pot the quality of about $100 a qtr, it should be pretty decent- you guys are gonna be HIGH - ESPECIALLY doing BONG HITS, much more so than a blunt anyway- I'd be surpised if you got through half of it, epecially if you're drinking. Best of luck and enjoy! OH! Please tell the newbies NOT to oversmoke, like don't have them do too many hits in a row- have them wait like a few minutes btwn hits to make sure they don't feel "overwhelmed"- that makes it so much more pleasant for so many ppl when it's there first time- pacing and adjusting

For sure on not trying to be a champ and power smoke, no reason to try and "impress" anyone; taking a bong rip or two and chilling to see what's up is excellent advice! Weed does indeed have the ability to go from fun to uncomfortable quick, have fun

 

You should learn your prices properly before partaking. People not learning what the deal is is majorly fucking up the market.

High grade gets sold at £10 for the g. If you're lucky, and I believe every customer should insist on being lucky, £20 will be 2.5g. If you're buying a £40 bag of high grade then it should be at least 4g, try and push for 5 or at least 4.5, since you are not buying a single gram alone. Any less in weight than that and either have words with or avoid that particular dealer. The PROPER price for high grade in the lower amounts is £25 for an eighth, though you only see that in the old schoolers now.

I never got into high grade because it's just not worth the money and is so much work to get rid of, fuck that shit. And the price keeps riding higher and higher, fuck those greedy cunts.

Standard rates are much better, though sometimes it comes damp (nothing some drying out won't solve) or badly grown (not much you can do about that). 1.7g for £10 is the standard fare, though most punks are going for 1.2 or 1.5 at best nowadays. 3.5g for £20 (an eighth) and quarters (7g) used to come at £35. The game is so fucked up now, though, bulk prices rising and the stuff is coming out damp and weak, the fucking cheek of it, so most people don't reduce quarters and stick to £40. When I was shotting I was doing £5 on the gram and halves at £65, would have liked to do £60 to everyone but it just wasn't possible. Never met any dealers anywhere near as generous as I was.

NEVER get fucking played, man, even if it is your first time buying/smoking. Stand up to the dealer and demand more weight or a better deal, negotiate for success. Start by asking the weight for a ten, then how much you get for twenty, then use that as a leverage point for bringing down the prices/up the weights on bigger amounts. Or push for a higher weight on the smaller amounts. At the end of the day, the dealer needs you more than you need him. Always be prepared to say NO instead of give in. The game is so fucked up and prices are skyrocketing because because people are too fucking dumb/desperate to just say no and wait for the dealer to ring back submitting to better deals. If everyone said no to their prices then they'd have no choice but to sell it for less. It really annoys me that people would rather get heavily ripped off than just go without for a couple of days.

3.5 = 1/8
7.0 = 1/4
14 = 1/2
28 = 1oz

4.5oz = 1/2 bar (125/126g) Sucks that they usually only weigh to 125.
9oz = A bar or "nine bar" (250/252g)

4 bars to the kg.
