Ok, i got a glass pipe recently, a spoon. i havent been smoking long, only like 3 months. before hand i was using a gravity bong. i made it myself and found that a little after i made it, i began choking. bad. found out the screen burned through and i was sucking alot of ash.

well now with the glass pipe, the first time i smoked out of it, i was with three others. we smoked three bowls between us and that was all the pipe was used. no choking, not once. but just early, i got a half eighth off a bud and went to smoke (it wasnt cleaned), packed it and smoked. and chocked, to the point i couldnt breath i was coughing so much. was using a big flame from a zippo too. i know i took in a hell of alot more smoke when i choked, then the more pleasent times when i wouldnt choke, and had a fair amount of smoke.

now i dont know if its the quality of the weed, or if its getting too hot, or the residue, or if im taking in ash, or the smoke is too dense for my virgin lungs, or what. i have smoked a couple times, and it was amazing, and then a couple where it was just coughing and was miserable.


any one have any tips, why i may be choking, or what to look for to see if the quality of the weed is just bad, or anything that would just make so i can enjoy the hits, instead of choking and gagging x(

thanks in advance.

Everyone coughs dude. If you don't want to cough as much, or have such hard coughing attacks just take a hit your lungs can handle, don't go for taking huge drags off the pipe. Large hits off of a pipe is prone to making you cough. It's not likely that it's bad weed. Because you'll cough no matter what the quality.

My tips:
Take smaller hits
Don't rush your smoking
Give yourself time to let your lungs/throat calm down before you take another hit
Don't scorch the bowl (Hold the lighter over the weed too long....) Alot of newbiews do that. It makes the hit more harsh because of the excess heat, also wastes your weed....
Drink Water after every hit or so, it's great for soothing a smoke irritated throat.


Also: If you have asthma, use your inhaler.... And get a vaporizer.

i'd say it was the zippo. zippos let off a lot of fluid that tastes harsh and nasty and are no good for pipes or g-bongs, or even regular bongs for that matter. only for joints/blunts/spliffs

could just be that you took some nice fat tokes though, i suppose

yeah, i think i held the lighter in too long cause the hit was so hot, and it was very big hits. i didnt use the zippo the first time i got high off the pipe and i didnt choked, just a sort of cough right after. it was nice. i will try this tomorrow and see if i can have a more pleasant of a session

Iv never choked because of my zippo

just take slower hits, take your time. no ones pressuring you to cash the bowl in one hit.

Whenever I feel a cough coming on when I'm taking a hit, I get a real quick breath of air. Just a little bit is enough to please the throat.

The zippo flame also tastes harsher then bics or gas station lighters, that could be a problem.

ok, smoked earlier before work and it was all good. just a meer cough here and there. i used a bic and took smaller hits but it did its job and i enjoyed it alot more

thanks much you guys.
