I am doing this blog, so that anyone who wants to try a new herbal blend, can hopefully find it on my blog, and read a little about it first. The reason for the recent legislation on herbal incense and spice, is because people have no idea what to expect from some of the stronger blends. I would like to help make that fear less scary. I consider myself a pioneer of herbal exploration. Yes others have come before me, but what is right for one person is not always right for another person. My blogs are unbiased, if I don't like something that I have tried I will post an accurate portrayal as to why I didn't like it. I hope you enjoy my blog, and if you feel I need to add something, or if you have any questions feel free to either email me at strummer_90@yahoo.com, or just leave a me a comment. Alright folks keep blazing and thanks for reading. :-)

Pinocchio Pipe

Pinocchio is the perfected version of a pipe Knection had made called Skully. He is made from some Halloween decorations we had, the stem for the bubblers, and the stock for my purple passion pipe. After many trial and errors he was perfected by adding the stem instead of just a bowl. The issue we had with using a bowl was that it would get too hot and melt the plastic skull. The stock enhances the amount of smoke you can pull through this pipe, but you don't have to add it. We smoked it both ways, but to avoid singed eyelashes we added the stock.
Pinocchio hits at about a 4 or 5 on a scale of 1-10. He is a light hitter, mostly because of his small size. Although the smoke swirling through the skull itself is all worth the lower hitting factor. He can't really be used continually because he begins to turn black, or the plastic gets weak and cracks. Plus his toothy grin makes me smile. This pipe is also easy to conceal, just throw it back on the light strand it came from . Alright that's all for today folks keep blazing and toodles all.

Tobacco High

So I came across a video on youtube the other night. Now we all remember the first time we inhaled a cigarette, how it made you high for at least 15-30 minutes depending on how much of the cigarette you smoked. Well according to this guy you can hum while exhaling to create a lasting tobacco high. Now the issue I have with this is I don't smoke tobacco, like at all. I might have the occasional drag when I have either been smoking or drinking, but on general I stay far away from cigarettes and their evil spinning head highs. I truly dislike the high I experience when smoking tobacco, although many people enjoy it a great deal. So for their sake I have posted this to let old time smokers know how to still get that first cigarette high every time you smoke. Be warned don't do this in public you might look like a tool, but you will get high. Just watch the video for instructions. You can tell by the look on this guys face that he is indeed high after he finishes.
I put this to the test to see if it did indeed work, by purchasing a pack of cigarettes for my roommates to test this out on. They smoke on a daily basis at least 5-9 cigarettes a day depending on stress, and or social situations. I let Twitch try it first after the first long exhale he proclaimed excitedly that he was light headed. Knection was excited to try it and followed suit. He also felt the light headedness that Twitch was explaining. We tried it several more times with 3 more cigarettes allowing time between each one to come down off the tobacco high. It took them anywhere from 30-50 minutes to come down completely. Each time they experienced the same high. So this method does indeed work. I hope I have helped anyone who is in a dry spell or just enjoys smoking tobacco. Keeping smoking and toodles all.

Mighty Joe Bong

Mighty Joe Bong is the biggest homemade bong we own. I call him our party bong. He can  accommodate up to 8 people (at least that's how many we have smoked with at one time). He hits at about an 11 on the scale of 1-10. Knection claims it is one of the hardest hitting single chambered bong he has used. Mighty Joe stands at 6 feet tall with all three extensions.  The picture to the left is with two of the 2 foot extensions and a McDonald's cup to enhance the hitting power. I prefer to use just the 2 foot single extension for smaller party's mainly because it takes someone with super lungs just to light this bong. I will have to get video of what it takes to light this bong when we purchase a new stem (ours exploded in Vegas).
Knection built this bong at the age of 16 out of his mother's broken humming bird feeder and some plastic tubing. It takes up to three people just to smoke out of this bong:
1. To light it with duel lighters
2. To hold the duel carbs on the plastic tubing
3. To take the rip and start the bowl.
After the bong is lit and started you can continue a bowl for at least 6-7 people hitting it twice, the eighth person usually caches the bowl on there second hit, or clears the chamber. We usually seal the base to the tubing with either wax or tape depending on what we have handy. If you don't seal it, it will leak. We always have a towel handy for leaks or spills, with a bong this size in my tiny apartment it will get knocked over at least twice.
We have also used the tubing for no touch shotgunning, and to give Chilli an extra buzz. She sticks her nose in one end and we blow in the other.
The biggest issue we seem to have with this bong is storage. It does come apart but in a tiny apartment with no storage space it tends to get knocked around a lot. It withstands some crazy shit though. I have tripped over it the day after and didn't even pop the tube off the base. Chilli has even drug it out from under the bed before trying to let us know that she would love to use Mighty Joe.

The MacGyver Smoker

I will be adding a new section to my blog. I have recently become acquainted with what is known as a Macgyver Smoker. This man who I will call Knection can make a pipe or bong out of almost anything. Every time he makes a new smoking device I will post how he made it so that those at home who love smoking out of fun new things can follow along.

Today's pipe is called the Venom Pipe. It is made from a Venom Energy drink. As you can see we added some extra pieces from some of the other pipes we had laying around. We used the bowl from my amazing purple pipe and used the tubes for my long gone mini hookah. Two people can hit off this pipe at once, it doesn't hit as hard like that, but its still fun to have a truly social toke. When the secondary tube is used as a carb the pipe hits at about a 7 on a scale from 1-10. The first 3 hits tasted like the energy drink so it gave what we were smoking a fun and tangy flavor. I preffered hitting this pipe without the hookah tubes connected it hit at least 1 point higher, but there is always the danger of burnt eyelashes or eyebrows. Because this pipe is made out of metal it does heat up a little, we melted some plastic after we set it down to cool, but 6 people were smoking out of this pipe. If you don't have a bowl you can use you can make one out of tin foil, this is not recommended though. I myself don't like smoking out of tin foil. The best pipe you can buy is one you can take apart if you like creating new and improved pipes.
Alright if you have any questions go ahead and either leave me a comment or send me an email, make sure to put Macgyver Pipes int he subject line, otherwise I will pass it by thinking its spam. Alright folks keep toking and toodles.
