How to Smoke Resin
Resin can be used differently, both sound and evil and others merely stupid. Let’s dive right in and discuss smoking resin in detail.
1. Dry Pipe
Apply heat on the outside of the pipe to loosen the resin then take it away and remember everything will heat up. Use something like a tong or oven mitt to avoid burning your fingers.
Also, do not put the pipe directly to your lips as the mouthpiece may be too hot. If this method is not good enough for you, feel free to explore the rest that requires you to remove the resin and then smoke.
2. Bong
Find a pin or paperclip to remove the resin from your pipe into a plate. Light a spotlight or light at the bottom of the pipe to warm it up and ensure that it does not stick on the surface then scrap it off then collect it into a plate or bowl. Once it has come off, roll it into a ball then, pack it into your bong then heat it and smoke. Use fresh water at the bottom to help in filtering foulness to the maximum.
3. Dab Rig
A dab rig is another way to enjoy your resin after collecting it from your pipe. Roll it up into lumps then smoke. Freshwater at the bottom of the rig is necessary to rid it of bad taste and the harshness of resin so that you don’t get overwhelmed.
