Title: Smoking H in a crack pipe
Post by: Garrincha on July 07, 2013, 12:05 am
Does anyone use this method, rather than chasing? I've heard some people claim that it can't be done, while others with a habit swear by it.
What are SR users thoughts?

Never used a crack pipe for H (don't know where to buy one, and even if I did, I wouldn't want to keep such a thing in my house), but freebasing it has always been my preferred way to use it.  It hits you SO hard that way.  It's the best H high you'll get without injecting it.

How do you freebase H?

There may be other ways to do it, but this is how I was taught.  You will need aluminum foil, a pen or a drinking straw, and (ideally) a piece of Scotch tape.  Oh, and a cigarette lighter.

First, cut a smallish square of foil (about 4 in. x 4 in.).  Roll this piece of foil around the pen, not too tight, so it makes a tube around the pen.  Tape the tube together with the tape (otherwise it gets loose and unrolls).  Then gently pull the pen out. 

Once you've got the pen out, you are left with an aluminum foil tube, about the size of a drinking straw.

Rip off another piece of aluminum foil, and put a bit of H on it.  Position the aluminum foil straw over the H, and light the cigarette lighter underneath the H.  As the H burns, smoke will rise from it, and you inhale the smoke with the aluminum foil straw.

You have to inhale the smoke gently.  If you suck too hard, you'll end up sucking up the chunks of burning H into the straw, where they get stuck.  This is not such a bad thing if it happens, though.  You just make a new aluminum foil straw, and use it to smoke the stuff off the old straw.

You CAN use a plastic straw, instead of making an aluminum foil one, but there's always the chance it'll melt.  Also, the more H you do with the straw, the more the inside of it gets coated with a layer of melted H.  If you use an aluminum foil straw, at the end you can unroll it and get one last hit off that coating of melted H.

Yeah, I have chased the dragon before, attempting a similar method to that described, but it is so fiddly and wasteful, and I never really got the hang of it.
With the crack pipe (which is just a small glass pipe bought in headshops) method, all you need is to put some wire wool in the pipe, put the H on top, then hold the flame at a distance so that the H doesn't burn but rather gives off the vapor that you inhale.

I've seen people smoke smack off of a piece of foil. Same with crushed pills.
