Drop a literal drop of water after you do your line into said nostril to rinse it, sounds weird but very useful.I'll stop now, maybe I'm just a snob with smoking, I don't know - I feel like I come in too strong. Try using a mirror so you can see where the flames at, it shouldn't be touching the bowl or heating the stem. It's okay though, don't feel bad bc depth perseption can be a bitch - specially after a couple days. If it tastes burnt as shit, if it looks burnt as shit - hold the lighter further away, for starters. You're just better off without torches lol. Now I use bic lighters & keep pipes for months looking new & keep my packed bowls much longer. I used torches for a bit & went through so many pipes & so much shit. YES, they hit better - YES they hear up faster, but yes they will heat up your pipe to the point of it looking new but causing hairlines you don't see until your pipe shatters (I cool my pipe because I'm not a wild animal). If you're using a standard oil burner, DO NOT USE A TORCH. Sometimes smoke shops won't have the oil burners out so you have to ask, some just don't carry them. You could buy bulk online but I don't really see why you would, tbh.

You ask them for an 'oil burner', they may ask you if you want thick or thin glass - thick is usually a little more but will last longer. Where to find cheap pipes/pipe nicknames?

(As if running it didn't waste enough) Don't get me wrong, I've seen people get extremely creative, but it's just not worth the hassle/risk to me. Run it on foil, it's a waste but without at least a stem to rail it - theirs just no other realistic way to avoid wasting a ton of your product.

Meth on foil crackback
