When smoking weed through a bong, are u supposed to keep the lighter on the pot the whole time, or are u supposed to light it then take the lighter away and keep inhaling? I've always wondered which way was right, or if there even is a right way.

Heh, it doesn't matter, as long as the weed is burning and smoke is filling the chamber, you're doing it right. Taking the lighter away sometimes let the weed burn a little more evenly, plus you look cooler.

I take the lighter away, burns the weed slower and I don't know if this is true at all but I'd assume that you'd lose less of the active chemicals from the heat of having the flame engulfing the entire bud like that. Either way, my friends hold the flame over it and get about 2 hits off a small nug, I take it away and get about 5 off a nug the same size...

a much healthier way to smoke is not let the flame touch the weed when ur smokin in a bowl, itll take a bit longer but get higher and its better for ur lungs just get the flame as close to the weed without actually touching it and inhale as long as u can, u wont blow out much smoke but u can taste it, this is also known as vaporizing, u can by one of those as well, ive got one!! ill take a pic in a bit

keep the ligher on the bowl until it is burning enough to take the lighter away, so you dont waste weed and lighter fluid. inhale steadily and slowly, maybe for the first 2 seconds inhale very hard if you are the first one hitting the bud, to get it cherried.

i find that it is easier to clear the bowl (bong) when you put flame over the buds/ash left in the bowl. if you just inhale w/o the flame and the bowl is cherrying its harder to suck the ash through. I hit the bong one hit at a time and clear though...others like to pack a huge bowl and get a few hits out of it before clearing.
depends on what you like. obviously, the less you hold the lighter's flame over the bowl, the less of the fuel byproducts you inhale along with the weed.

The more weed you burn during a single hit the higher you will get. Think of a bucket bong, you could smoke five bowls and not be as high as one bowl through the gravity bong. This is because you are taking in all of the bowl in one hit.
The method of vaporizing does provide you with smoke that is for the most part free of toxins, but not completely. The actual ratio of THC to Tar is the same when burning the weed with a flame, or vaporizing it with a vaporizer.
When smoking other peoples pot sometimes you don't want to roast the entire bowl. If this is the case you can use a technique called cornering. To do this place the flame towards the side of the bowl and inhale. You can still hit it as hard as you want, but everyone can get green hit.
A method that will blow your mind is to torch a bowl. Use a propane torch that you would find in the camping section of a store. If you use this you can inhale a very large bowl in one hit. I guarantee that you will be higher than ever before.
