i am always burning my right hand thumb whenever i try to smoke from a bowl. i will burn it raw one day, and then the next day i will burn the same spot. it has come to the point where my thumb finger always hurts, all the time. what should i do about this?

Light up with your left hand?

I had that problem for a loooong time and I couldn't figure it out. For me, the thing was that when I sparked the lighter, I had the flame side closer to the bowl and the button/flint farther away. When I would tilt the lighter to the 120 or so degrees from straight up that made the flame hit the bowl, the fire lifted back up and burned my thumb. What you need to do is spark it with the button/flint closer to the bowl, turn the lighter ALLL the way around, and the flame will rise up to an area safely away from your thumb. Voila, no burn

Sorry if that makes no sense. I did my best to explain it but I'm pretty stoned.

I think what shes or hes saying is that when you inhale it takes the flame in you dont have to tilt the lighter and have the flame on your thumb to light the weed

I think poppel electric lighters work well for bowls, zippos are easily the worst for them.

"midnightToker"

I used those too! But the last time I did my weed tasted awful and it made me sad

I used matches too and tried to let the red burn down but then I started nearly burning my fingers...all because I had misplaced my lighter (under my pillow)

Yeah I burned the shit out of my finger with matches yesterday, by the time the red burns out the flame it right on your finger. I think it enhances the taste but for it to be conventional I would need some longer matches. Hopefully today I find a lighter or I'll actually have to buy one

Wow... Im not sure why or how, but ive never had a problem burning my fingers from a lighter. So inversely, im not sure how you WOULD burn your finger on a lighter.

We must get the looong matches for fireplaces

Those things are pretty cool.

My friend burns her nail every time she smokes pot. I guess next time I should be nice and watch her to see how she tilts it....
