Ash - Spice - Ash --- This is the bed you want in your BONG.
1- Hold the lighter INCHES away (It sounds like you had the same problem as a friend of mine on this forum, you might be burning it. In fact, I think you are.)
2- Slowly start inhaling. Bring the lighter closer millimeter by millimeter. Once you see the flame even start to pull towards the bowl, stop.
3- Start inhaling harder. HARDER
4- You need to MILK the bong for what it is worth. Even if you can't hold a fully milked bong hit in, take it in sections. Hit it, put hand over top, hit it, put hand over top, etc, etc.
5- Try. Try. Try to get at least 2 hits in. Once you feel it creeping up on you (Some report this is where the carrier wave starts), hit it one last time.
If this doesn't work. You are somehow an inhuman character who is immune to the effects of spice.
You need to slowly (to quote UniverseCannon) slllllllloooooooooowwwwwwwwwlllllyyyy hit it. You can not burn this like weed. It needs to vap from slowly rising heat. If the flame comes within a certain distance, it will ruin some of your spice. But the ash blanket ontop will help to protect it if it does get to close.
This is the exact same thing I told my friend on here when he was having trouble (The exact same problem as SWIY is having) breaking through.
Slowly. That is the key word to smoking this. Milk it very, very slowly.
Do not listen to anything, "Steely" says. He is a made up character that his owner likes to role play with. His owner is very delusional and everything he says is completely untrue and ridiculous.
