Well, a couple days ago I was thinking while smoking a bowl, and had the feeling like some weed could be wasted from lighting a bowl too long and burning up the cannabis too fast, and destroying some smoke. I 'd it off.
Later that day Openmind made a post about how he hates when he see someone dip the flame into the bowl, because it destroys so many cannabinioids.
So, I went to smoke a bowl and held the flew close to the bowl, but didn't make much if any contact. I noticed that it felt like I got a lot more smoke and was pretty stoned.
This morning I packed a big bowl. A huge bowl. The biggest bowl I ever packed. I used the new technique and holy fuck. I choked on that bowl. So much more smoke. I was way too baked and didn't even finish the bowl.
I've been smoking that way since then and it's much more effective.

First I never dip the flame into the bowl I try to corner my hits so that when I share everyone gets some green. Dipping is just not proper smoking etiquette. I feel like when I hold the flame above the bowl I get more of a vape type hit with less smoke, but still stoned as fuck. I also believe its more efficient, but don't see where you get more/thicker smoke...

Yea it's the way to go man ....
I also enjoy and recommend solar hits, which is using a magnifying glass on a sunny day as your heat source . And as others have mentioned before, hemp wick & bee-line is a great alternative to a bic lighter.

I agree. Teasing smoke out of the green without letting the flame touch it too much

For sure. Get a bunch of hemp, get some beeswax, and make your own wick. Then wrap it tightly around your lighter. Lasts forever.

yeah, torching it makes the cone rip easier but you actually incinerate some of the goodies in the process, the same thing applies with smoking dmt, you barely even light it, or just light one side of it and let the cone burn its way through with just lung power.

It's key with DMT, especially when using an oil pipe. It's very crucial to have flame/heat control otherwise you're just going to burn it up.

hmmm I don't know, I smoke hash that way but weed??
yall talking about torch lighter right?? because with regular lighter the flame won't touch the weed until you inhale and then it's hard to control
I smoke with regular lighter and I let the flame touch all the weed for like a second then once it's lit I back it off as I continue to inhale while the weed is still burning "by itself" is that what yall mean?

I do the same pretty much, light the bowl and once its cherried after like 2 secs take off the lighter.

No, I don't use a torch lighter...That is even worse than a normal lighter as the flame is even hotter, less heat the better. Bic lighter flames are around 1970C, and most cannabinoids vaporize at 175c or so...Even with that brief moment of hot flame you will lose cannabinoids.
It's really not that hard to control. As you are inhaling just keep your inhalation slow & steady and hold the flame above the bowl close enough that the heat toasts it but far enough that the flame won't touch & burn the weed . Eventually the weed will ignite and start to burn on it's own, at which point I stop hovering the flame above the bowl.
I dunno, it isn't that huge of a deal, just if you want to get the most out of your pot. And I'm really anal about being efficient when I smoke .....Even roasting a bowl with a flame you will still get stoned, but when I see people do this I .
