Tips and Tricks for Smoking a One Hitter

Tons of smokers have one hitters that they enjoy smoking with. They are one of the easiest pipes to smoke with in the world. The concept is very straight forward. You put one puff worth of herb into one side, put the other in your mouth, light the herb side and inhale.  There is not much else to the act of smoking them.  However, you need to keep them cleaned, be responsible when smoking them, and be aware of what material you are smoking out of.

Keep them clear!

One hitters get jammed all the time. That is a statement of fact, with little to no way around it . Fortunately, many dugouts these days come with pokers, and if you aren’t using one pokers come in all shapes in sizes. The secret is having one with you when smoking. Even a multi tool like Swiss Army Knife has the proper tools to assist in keeping your metal bat clean.  If you are at home, a Q tip also works really well. If you keep the pipe clean, you will get a much smoother hit and know exactly what you are smoking. Resin can build up very easily inside the pipe, and then dirt and hair can get stuck in there too.

Keep them clean!

Every now and then, wash your one hitter with a tiny bit of iso-propanyl and salt. Throw those two ingredients in a plastic bag or and let the bag soak. The stronger % alcohol the faster you can clean your metal bat and get back to smoking.  Salt works like an abrasive surface on a sponge, so it should be in there too.  It’s a good idea to also clean your poker every now and then, because resin build up makes them more difficult to use and sticky.  This isn’t rocket science people, just use common sense.

If you don’t already have a dugout, get one!

The easiest way to keep track of your pipe is to keep it in a dugout. These are small portable box shaped items that can hold your dugout pipe, often have a poker with them to keep your smoking pipe clean and also a spot to stash herb. The best ones have additional accessories in them, such as a bottle opener or grinder card to assist in breaking down herbs.  The best one on the market right now is called Smokit.
