As a beginner to smoking weed, it's important to understand the different options available and what type of smoking experience you're looking for. To help you navigate, we've compiled a list of 10 popular methods for smoking weed, each with its own unique characteristics. Click the link beside each method for a more in-depth explanation and instructions on how to use the device. From joints to vaporizers, choose the method that best suits your preferences and desired smoking experience.

 

1. Joints: A joint is a rolled cannabis cigarette. They can be rolled with just cannabis, or with a combination of cannabis and tobacco.

2. Blunts: A blunt is similar to a joint, but it is made using a hollowed-out cigar or cigarillo wrapper, filled with cannabis. This method of smoking cannabis is more potent due to the tobacco wrapper.

3. Pipes: Pipes are small, handheld devices used for smoking cannabis. They are usually made of glass, metal, wood, or ceramic, and typically have a bowl for holding the cannabis and a stem for inhaling.

4. Bongs: Bongs, also known as water pipes, are similar to pipes but they use water to filter and cool the smoke before inhalation.

5. Vaporizers: Vaporizers, also known as vapes, heat cannabis to a temperature that is high enough to extract the THC and other cannabinoids, but not high enough to cause combustion. This results in vapor, rather than smoke, which is inhaled.

6. Dab rigs: Dab rigs are similar to bongs, but they are used specifically for smoking concentrated forms of cannabis, such as wax or shatter.

7. One hitters: One hitters are small, discreet pipes that are designed to hold just enough cannabis for one hit.

8. Bubblers: Bubblers are a cross between a pipe and a bong, they have a bowl and stem like a pipe and a chamber filled with water like a bong.

9. Corn cob pipes: A corn cob pipe is a type of pipe made from the dried cob of a corn plant, they are inexpensive and disposable.

10. Apple pipes: An apple pipe is a type of pipe where a hole is carved into an apple and a stem made from a pen or similar object is inserted, creating a makeshift pipe. It's an easy and cheap way to smoke weed.

 

 

How to Smoke a Joint

 

Smoking a joint is a classic method that is still widely enjoyed. Joints are made

by rolling cannabis in rolling papers, which are small, thin sheets of paper. To

smoke a joint, light one end of the joint, and take a few shallow puffs into your

mouth to get the cherry burning. Once the joint is burning evenly, you can

inhale the smoke deeply into your lungs. Joints are typically better for solo

smoking, while blunts are best shared with others.

 

How to Smoke a Blunt

To smoke a blunt for the first time, you'll need to practice rolling it properly.

There are two types of blunts, filtered and unfiltered. A filtered blunt will give

you a smoother hit, but it also filters out THC, which reduces the strength of

your high. To smoke the blunt, first light one end of it until the cherry is lit. Then,

take a few shallow puffs into your mouth (not your lungs) to get the cherry

stronger and ensure an even burn on the blunt. Once the cherry is lit, you

should be ready to inhale the smoke deeply into your lungs. It's recommended

to share blunts as they typically hold a full gram of weed, which is a lot for a

beginner to smoke by themselves.

 

How to Smoke Weed with a Pipe

Smoking weed through a pipe is a simple and budget-friendly option, especially

for beginners. A pipe has three parts: the bowl, the carb hole, and the end

where you inhale. To use a pipe, pack about two pinches of ground weed into

the bowl. Light the weed, while covering the carb hole with your thumb. Once

the cherry has gone out and the weed has turned to ashes, remove your thumb

from the carb hole and inhale the smoke. Hold it for 1-2 seconds before

exhaling. Keep in mind that the hits from a pipe can be harsher due to lack of

filtration, but no THC will be filtered out. To make the hits cooler, you can try

using a silicone pipe or freezing the pipe before use. Make sure not to grind

your weed too fine, as it may go through the pipe and into your mouth.

 

How to Smoke Weed with a Bong

Smoking from a bong is a simple process. First, make sure that the downstem,

the glass tube that goes into the water chamber, is completely submerged in

water. Once the water level is correct, pack two pinches of weed into the bowl.

Light the weed using a lighter, and inhale deeply as you light it. You'll see the

bong start bubbling as the water chamber fills with smoke, this is the process of

filtration. Once the chamber is filled with smoke, remove the bowl and inhale

the smoke deeply into your lungs. Hold the smoke for 1-2 seconds before

exhaling. Remember, smoking from a bong is a two-step process: inhaling to fill

the water chamber with smoke and then inhaling the smoke from the chamber

into your lungs.

 

How to Use a Vaporizer

Using a vaporizer to smoke weed is a bit different than using a pipe, bong, or

blunt. Here's a basic overview of how to use a vaporizer to smoke weed:

1. Make sure your vaporizer is charged or plugged in and turned on.
2. Grind your weed to a fine consistency, and fill the chamber of the vaporizer with the ground weed.
3. Set the temperature on the vaporizer to the desired level, usually between 375-420°F.
4. Wait for the vaporizer to heat up and reach the desired temperature.
5. Once the vaporizer is ready, inhale the vapor through the mouthpiece.
6. Hold the vapor in your lungs for a few seconds before exhaling.

It's important to note that vaporizers come in different types and designs, so the

instructions may vary depending on the specific vaporizer you are using.

Always refer to the instructions manual that came with your vaporizer. Also, it's

best to start with low temperature and gradually increase it, as it will help you to

taste the strains and terpenes better and also help you to avoid getting harsh

hits.

 

How to use a Dab Rig

A dab rig is a type of water pipe that is designed specifically for smoking concentrates, also known as "dabs." Dabbing is a method of consuming marijuana concentrates by heating them on a hot surface and inhaling the vapor through a water pipe. Here's a basic overview of how to use a dab rig to smoke weed:

1. Start by filling the water chamber of the dab rig with water to the desired level.

2. Place the nail (heating element) into the rig and heat it up with a torch. The nail should be heated until it is red-hot.

3. Use a dab tool to place a small amount of concentrate (around the size of a grain of rice) onto the nail.

4. Once the concentrate has been placed on the nail, use the dab tool to press it against the nail while inhaling through the mouthpiece.

5. Hold the vapor in your lungs for a few seconds before exhaling.

It's important to note that different types of concentrates may have different

optimal temperatures, so you may need to adjust the temperature of the nail

accordingly. Also, always handle the torch and the hot nail with caution.

Dabbing is a powerful and efficient way to consume marijuana, and it's

essential to start with small amounts and wait for the effects to kick in before

consuming more.

A one-hitter, also known as a bat, is a small, handheld pipe that is designed for

smoking small amounts of cannabis. Here's a basic overview of how to use a

one-hitter:

will make it harder to inhale and might clog the pipe.

One-hitters are a convenient and discreet way to consume small amounts of

cannabis, they are easy to use and easy to carry around with you. They are a

good option for those who want to have a quick, low-key smoke session, or for

those who want to control the amount of cannabis they consume.

 

How to Smoke Weed with a Bubbler

Smoking weed with a bubbler can be enjoyable. Bubblers are similar to small

bongs, but they have a more intense filtration system that uses bubbles. When

you inhale through a bubbler, the water chamber produces more bubbles than

.a bong, which cools the smoke for a smooth hit.

To use a bubbler, fill the water chamber and pack your weed into the bowl.

Light the weed by tapping the flame into it until a cherry is lit. Inhale and create

bubbles until the ember fades away. Once the chamber is filled with smoke,

remove the bowl and inhale the filtered and cooled smoke into your lungs. Hold

the smoke for 1-2 seconds before exhaling.

will make it harder to inhale and might clog the pipe.

Chillums are a simple and convenient way to smoke weed, they are easy to

use and easy to carry around with you. They are a good option for those who
