Need a discreet, quick, and efficient method of smoking your favorite herbs? Then in comes one hitter- old reliable, of course, for on the go tokes. Whether it is your first time smoking, or you are merely curious about one hitters, this guide will take you through all you need to know, step by step.
What Is a One Hitter?
A one hitter is a small, narrow smoking pipe designed to hold just a single inhalation of dry herb. It’s perfect for microdosing, conserving material, and keeping things low-key. Some are shaped like a cigarette (called “dugouts”), while others are sleek metal or glass tubes.
What You’ll Need
Before you start, gather these essentials:
- A quality one hitter (we’ll recommend our best below)
- A grinder to break down your herb evenly
- Your preferred dry herb
- Optional: a dugout (a carrying case that stores your one hitter and ground herb)
Step-by-Step: How to Use a One Hitter
1. Grind Your Herb
Use a grinder to break your herb down into a fine, even texture. This ensures a smoother burn and easier packing.
2. Pack the Bowl
Gently press the bowl end of your one hitter into the ground herb and twist slightly. This “scoops” the herb into the pipe. Don’t overpack – airflow is key.
3. Light and Inhale
Hold the one hitter to your lips, apply a flame to the bowl, and inhale slowly. Since it’s a small hit, don’t go too hard or fast. You’ll feel the smoke almost immediately.
4. Tap Out the Ash
After your hit, tap the pipe against a hard surface or use a cleaning tool to remove the ash. A clean one hitter works better and tastes fresher.
5. Store or Reload
That’s it! You can reload for another hit or store it back in your dugout for later. Don’t forget to clean it regularly to prevent buildup.
Pro Tips for First-Time Users
- Stay Discreet: One hitters are perfect for stealthy sessions – they look like cigarettes and emit minimal odor.
- Keep It Clean: Resin builds up fast in small pipes. Clean with isopropyl alcohol and a pipe cleaner.
- Â Pace Yourself: One hitters are designed for smaller doses. Take your time and enjoy the process.
