I recently purchased a mini water pipe no bigger than 5in, Put a screen down in the bottom than followed with some burnt dusty cannabis than i put a layer of spice over top that than put a nice thick layer of burnt dusty cannabis on top of that (Noticed it lights up fast and reduces time needed holding the lighter over top) than an additional screen over top of it all to keep from burning too bad.
Just roast the top and let it draw down to the bottom, you can blast the fuck off in one good hit.
Only words of advice, I have been folded many a time by this method it almost catches you off guard if your not prepared, I have attempted hitting the water pipe a second time and failed miserably.
Let me know how it goes.
