Are steamroller pipes good?
Steamroller pipes are great for any type of smoker. Whether a beginner, novice user or daily stoner, steamroller pipes are a nice way to get high fast without consuming very much weed. If you are into microdosing and would like to just get quick and efficient highs throughout the day, steamroller pipes and pipes in general are nice to smoke on throughout the day, Bong rips tend to slow most of us down, and joints can take a little too long to consume sometimes so steamroller pipes meet that type of high in half the time.Â
What is the point of a steamroller pipe?
Beyond efficiency and convenience, steamroller pipes are overall cost-effective in terms of setup and weed consumption. All it takes is grinding up a small nug, loading up the steamroller and lighting up for a big hit. Similar to a shot, it’s best to take it all in one go so you can fully feel the taste and effects of your chosen weed strain.Â
How do you smoke a steamroller?
While pretty straight forward, there are certain techniques that might help when it comes to smoking with a steamroller. Here are a few simple steps on how to smoke a steamroller, and of course as you become more familiar with steamroller pieces you’ll get an idea of what works best for you.
- Grind your desired amount of weed and pack into the bowl. Depending on the high you are achieving, this is where you control that and pack as little or big of a bowl as you wish.
- Cover the carb on the pipe. This is the part with the hole - just place your finger over it, usually your thumb, while you hold the rest of the bowl underneath with your remaining fingers.
- Use your other hand to light up the bowl while starting to inhale through the mouthpiece. Pull smoke until you feel you are ready to inhale.
- Before inhaling, remove your thumb from the carb and inhale quickly to get every last bit of smoke!
