For me, glass chillums are an essential part of my smoking pipe collection. If I am looking for a quick smoke before I head to bed, a one hitter is often my choice since it is fast and I don’t necessarily need a full session. Glass one hitters play their part in the whole Me Time experience. With best quartz banger like the One Hitter, the maintenance is extremely important to extend the life of the device.
It is also good etiquette if you are smoking with a group of friends. Once you are done smoking, remove any leftover ashes and plant material from the bowl. Once you taste smoke, remove the lighter and keep on inhaling. It’s common to only need one breath to smoke the entire bowl, which is why its called a ‘one hitter’. Stamp the end of the one hitter into the ground cannabis and twist. If you are using agrinder, break off a few small nugs of cannabis, making sure to remove any stems and seeds. Push the buds down into the teeth of the grinder.
Being new to the medical scene or expanding your smoking horizons can make you feel like a noob that should never be seen in public with your glass one hitter pipe. Which is why you’re here, to learn how to use a one hitter. Going out with your pipe in hand is going to take a bit of time and preparation on your part, but we’ve got you covered with detailed instructions.
This serves as a screen and prevents the cannabis or ash from my being drawn further down the pipe. With its clawed tip, your weed will stay put and not fall out.
The key to using a one-hitter is the consistency of the marijuana that you place inside of the bowl of the one hitter pipe. You don’t want the pieces of bud too finely grounded down, if this happens you will find yourself inhaling a fine amount of ash. We will cover more in depth on how to get this perfect ground weed in the next section. If you are really on the go and just have to get your smoke in then last resort is to use your fingers and try to pinch out that perfect consistency as mentioned above. No matter if you choose to use scissors or fingers to grind your weed make sure that you are packing the one-hitter pipe at the end. You can do this with a gentle push of your fingers into the bowl chamber.
Light the entire pipe for a second or two to prevent it from getting too hot too fast. Keep the flame as far from the one hitter as possible, and position the pipe so that it’s pointed toward the ground to avoid it heating up too quickly.
I have noticed some people breath far aggresively when using one hitters. Remeber this is uncooled smoke traveling through a small pipe - it will be harsh.
They also help you avoid wasting weed, as can so often happen when smoking joints and blunts. You aren’t at risk of burning up weed you aren’t hitting. If you are on a tight budget or looking to make your supply last longer, try using a one hitter pipe next time you smoke. You don’t want your one hitter to get too hot when you’re smoking either.
I bring three, maybe even four chillums with me when I go out. Adding in a few OG chillums is worth considering too since they are even skinnier and fit nearly anywhere. While maybe a couple of them are packed with the same strain, I remember which is which and know just the right time to smoke a specific one hitter. One Hitter pipe accepts an amount of cannabis that’s perfect for a single hit, thus ensuring a fresh, quality hit every time. Some higher-tier versions feature built-in ash ejection mechanisms. Most one hitter users find it easy to push the bowl down into pre-grinded dry flower, twist the one hitter, and repeat a few times to get the right consistency in the bowl.
Only light it very quickly – One hitters hold a very small amount of herbs, so you don’t need to light them for a long time, just a second or two. Otherwise, you risk burning yourself, and inhaling a lot of dangerous butane gas in large quantities.
