Default Bong Resin

...Is great to smoke. I used a paper clip to scrape out my boyfriend's slide and we smoked a bowl and a half of that shit.
It seemed like it would never cash out.

But anyway, the other day we were at our friendly neighborhood head shop, and noticed that they sell self filtering slides. What is the point of filtering smoke twice? Is it beneficial in some way?

Cooler smoke...as well as it keeps your bong from getting resin in it, if you are talking about the bubbler like slides..

It's called an ash catcher and it keeps you from pulling the ash through into your nice bong. If you have an opaque, acrylic or just cheap bong don't even bother, but I've been meaning to get one for my 300 dollar Jerome Baker.

So do stems, leafs, and datura. And smoking bong resin (I have nothing against resin from a water-free pipe) is, in my opinion equal to rolling butt smokes with random butts from a gutter. Have some self respect...

You can't compare marijuana resin to Datura. It's apples and oranges. If your running low on funds some times you just gotta blaze some resin. Get off your high horse.

When you have resin in a bong, the water and plant matter in the water sticks to the side creating a stinky slime (that is, resin). In a dry pipe the resin just sticks to the walls and is great when you're out of weed. Also good is those grinders with screens, take the screen part out, cut the bottom off a pop bottle (to use to inhale the smoke) and hold the lighter a few inches below the screen, mine gives off enough smoke (tastes like vaped weed) to get me high and its way nicer than resin for those desperate times...

True, even then I just sort of run a knife across the screen and the stuck keef falls out onto a desk where it can be collected. I live for the days I have enough keef to pack a whole bowl.

Are apples and oranges really that much different?

There roughly the same size, shape, and weight, and both have seeds.... Similar chemicals makes up their taste.... If i was eating lunch with someone and they started to eat an apple, and somthing distracted me, and they replaced it with an orange i probably wouldn't even notice... Short of a tangerine or a grapefruit i cant think of many things more similar to an orange than an apple... If your going to make a comparison like that you might as well make an anaology of 2 things that are really diffrent, like oranges and uranium or baby wolverines...

i couldnt find that exactly quote from sex, drugs, and cocoa puffs, i read it one day out of a copy a friend had so i tried to get it as close as i could by memory...

but anyways, resin is pretty nasty... i have smoked it on more occasions than i would have liked but in a pinch when you have no bud it will get you high...

Would you consider smoking roach papers (with the roach weed removed), you might get a little bit high off that. How about stems? Smoke enough, you might get a little bit high. How far are you willing to go, just to get high? Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Smoking bong resin is disgusting, I wouldn't be suprised if most if not all people saying its smokable are the age of 14 or below...little kids loves their resin...:p

Considering the sometimes atrocious price of weed, I feel that smoking resin is a smart idea for the average weed consumer. I mean, that bowl and a half that would have been filled with weed was replaced, and money was saved. Why waste a perfectly good means of attaining a high? And as far as being nasty...I for one didn't notice a change from regular weed. But then again, maybe I'm not a pussy/

Stems, seeds and used rolling paper are not even comparable to resin.

If you cant notice the difference between bud and bong resin, then your Mj must be terrible. If it's atrociously priced for skunk-ass weed, then you're either getting ripped off or you're a little pussy fart who gets $1 a week for allowance. Besides, there's things out there that cost ALOT more than $150 an ounce.

Fuck you mother fucker with enough money to buy the good shit. It must be nice...
But you see it isn't that hard to find good bud....as a matter of fact that's all my friends can find who live south of me near the coast. I'm just north of them and all you can find here in my small city is regs, and occasionally mids.
If you smoke every day at least 5 times like me it gets rather expensive to keep buying 30 a gram shit.
7grams for $25 is the shit and the regs i get sometimes taste bad, but pretty much always get me high. I go to college so it is nice to be able to get good/decent shit for cheap.

ow yeah....fuck smoking bong resin.

Just to clear up any confusion, we smoked resin scraped out of the slide/male piece. We tried scraping a bit from the female piece, but upon seeing how wet and nasty it was, we decided against it. I later gave my bong its well overdue cleaning and washed all of the resin from the inside of it down the drain.

If, when you say "bong resin", you mean resin from the female/piece inside of the bong, then you're right, that shit looked nasty, and you don't have to convince me that it would have been disgusting.

However, resin from the inside of the male piece is pretty much the same as resin from a pipe (I keep the elevation of the bong water far below the end of the male piece.)

Resin from male piece = technically bong resin, but very useable.

And hell yes, that shit was great. Got high as hell, it tasted fine. A conglomerate buildup of smoke from all my sessions over the past six months in a semi-concentrated form? You bet I'll take it. I like to think of it as the poor man's hash. :D

First piece of advice I can give you, get all the kief off those stems before you proceed any further. I had so many stems in one bag, it just accumulated at the bottom as a very fine green dust. This stuff is way finer of a powder than your average broken up bud. If you want to press your luck even further than bottom-of-a-bag shake, I'd suggest sifting it across the appropriate size screen. Probably easier to find a screen at the store than ice hash bags. If you don't buy/build a machine to do the sifting for you, keep in mind you'll be doing it by hand.
You'll need "zero-zero" grade muslin (or other screen-like fabric?) for this, according to wikipedia.

Alternatively, you could make ice hash after ordering the special bags for the process. Or hell, for all I know you can make it with just a glass of ice water.

I recommend smoking this fine powder in a bowl. I stupidly put mine in a joint, and I had to draw way too hard to get the hits. I probably would have gotten higher if I had put it in a bowl.

After you've got those stems thoroughly de-kiefed, grind them into a powder using razor blade, coffee grinder, whatever. Then do an isopropyl or butane extraction, your pick. See how much you yield after that. I've never done said extractions, so I can't offer too much advice in that area.

And most importantly, don't just put plain ol' stems in a bowl. You might get a slight high, but it won't be worth it for the nasty-ass taste/smoke you have to endure.

P.S. Smoking seeds? Come on, I'm sure you can find other uses for them :) As far as I know, you're really not supposed to smoke those either.

She was saying that's it's just money saved in the end. Doesn't really matter whether it's 37 cents worth of weed, point still holds that it's money saved.

Are you missing the point that the slide was clogged and it had to be cleaned anyway? Hmm....throw a weed high down the drain or try to consume it, wonder which one I should pick?

It's viable, tastes fine, in other words, it just plain works. Never thought there would be so much backlash due to a person being thrifty.

Go ahead and waste all the weed you want, blow all the money you want. I'll be the thriftier smoker at the end of the day my friend, and that will always make me smile. :)

Okay....don't smoke resin then, we're not trying to make you. I find it advantageous and supremely effective, but different funs for different ones.

You think it's nasty. You don't want to smoke it for whatever reason. I don't know if you've tried resin before, but if you tried it and you didn't like it, hell I don't blame you. I don't like regular bowls, so I wouldn't waste time trying to make an apple bowl for myself in a pinch. I think apple bowls are pretty damn nasty, but there's probably someone, somewhere who got super-baked with one.

If you haven't tried resin, I suggest a book called Green Eggs and Ham.

Also, different things have different priorities. I take care of necessities like food, clothes, etc before I go and splurge on my herb. If I'm strapped for cash because I had to pay a bill or something, but I still want to try to get high, I don't see what's wrong with trying to smoke some resin. Better than nothing, and my power doesn't get cut because I just had to get that quarter.

However, I wasn't strapped for cash. At the risk of sounding cheesy as hell, doing a thorough scraping for the first time was a bit exciting. Think back to all your smoking firsts (first time bong, first time blunt, whatever.) Good memories right? (some of them at least) When you've tried it pretty much every way, it's nice to have some new experiences here and there.

Will I be smoking resin again any time soon? Probably not. I'll have to let a good amount build up in there again, so I'm getting the whole bowl and a half's worth and not just a measly hit. But boy oh boy, in another six months (or shorter if I'm smoking more), I'll gladly scrape n' spark it again. Great stuff, great times.

I agree with the above smoker. I'll only smoke resin if I'm short on cash or buds are hard to come by, but I won't deny somewhat enjoying smoking a few bowls of resin. One bowl takes forever to finish, and it does get you pretty baked. I don't get how some of you think it tastes the same as weed, it tastes and smells a lot raunchier.

I remember not being able to find any weed for a while a year or two back. My buddy who had a wide variety of pieces scraped all of them, and we had a golf ball size chunk of resin. We loaded it in the largest bowl he had and proceeded to rippeth the bong. At some point, his room-mate came across some bud, but we weren't even halfway through this huge chunk of resin. We had all gotten our hands on our buds, but we smoked on that resin for at least a day or two more before even touching our bags.

I don't care how high on your horse you are, it was nice to have bought a bag while I was smoking, continue to smoke on that same bowl for a day or two, and finally remembering I had a bag of real buds to smoke.

And I just happen to be smoking resin right now, unfortunately.

No, I'm not, and I agree with you - theres nothing wrong with resin from the downstem. I've done it plenty of times myself, and a better way to smoke it is not to scrape it out, but it use one end of the downstem as a mouthpiece, and hold your lighter against the glass. You'll get even more smoke than if you had scraped it.

I've never heard of that method, sounds interesting. Do you mean heating up the accumulated resin on the sides of the bowl while you inhale, or sucking the flame down into the lower part? Or both, perhaps? This sounds completely viable, as I've gotten small bong rips when I've sucked the flame down into the empty bowl. Why not use this method in conjunction with the bong though? Does it work better without?

Something makes me think when you do this, you look sort of like you're hitting one of those straight crack pipes, lol. I wouldn't really care about it, but I wouldn't try it in front of a big group of dumb friends, unless I wanted rumors of me being a crackhead to start spreading.

He's saying to heat the glass from the outside until the resin evaporates and then suck in all the vapor. I do this a lot with bowls, it's a lot cleaner than burning straight resin and it actually tastes pleasant - maintly because you don't inhaul butane this way. The downside is you get all sorts of carbon buildup on the outside of your slide or bowl. It goes away over time but it just won't look very pretty at first so if you have a really nice piece, don't do it.
