How to Use a Slider Pipe

Smoking from a slider pipe provides a convenient and quick experience, as the pipe can bend and fold to fit in a pocket or purse. While the bowl that holds the tobacco is slightly smaller than that of an average pipe, slider pipes usually don't have a carb, which ensures that the smoker's hits are more potent.

Things You'll Need

• Slider pipe
• Tobacco of your choice
• Lighter

Instructions

How to Use a Slider Pipe

1. Unfold the slider pipe so the bowl is exposed and the mouthpiece is in place. The pipe should lock into place and look completely aligned.

2. Stuff some tobacco of your choice into the pipe's bowl, making sure to pack it down without being too forceful, which could cause the pipe to clog. The bowl of tobacco should be a semi-solid bed of mesh.

3. Hold the lighter in whatever hand it feels most comfortable in, usually the dominant hand. Hold the pipe in the opposite hand. Raise the mouthpiece to your lips and light the lighter, carefully tilting the flame over the bowl of tobacco.

4. Inhale to light the tobacco. You may have to do try more than once. Once the tobacco is lit, you can take the lighter away. Since there is no carb to control the airflow, the smoke will fill your lungs instantly.
