Some people recommend you hold the hit for up to 30 seconds, but this is not necessary as long as you have fully inhaled. The smoke you inhale is called a “hit.” Many first-timers do not fully inhale properly and waste their hits as a result, so ensure that your breath in is deep and full. This controls the flow of air to the dry herb and controls the burn.

Most pipes have a small hole on one side called a “carb.” Light the herb with a small lighter and inhale gently, plugging and releasing the carb. Do not necessarily pack it as fully or tightly as possible, as this can restrict airflow. Once you have ground your dry herb with a grinder, fill the bowl to your liking. The bowl itself is the round basin of the pipe. Smoking a bowl is usually done with a hand pipe, but can refer any form of igniting and inhaling dry herb ( bongs, chillums, etc). Often times there is a hole on the side known as a 'carb' which acts as a way to clear your smoke and alter your airflow. To smoke dry herbs, tobacco, or other legal substance out of your hand pipe, you simply need to pack the material into the bowl chamber, ignite it with a flame, and go! While some may prefer a bong or dab rig instead, hand pipes like spoons and sherlocks offer the convenience of easy travel and portability.
