3 rules to pack a one hitter perfectly every time
It is important to pack a one hitter properly as it will make all the difference in your smoking experience. Not only that, if you pack it right every time, you’ll never waste marijuana and ultimately save money!
Let’s go through the steps for packing a one-hitter:
1. Grind your weed properly
Learning how to load a one hitter isn’t that hard once you master that key ingredient: perfectly ground cannabis. Since all grinders are made differently, we can’t tell you exactly how to grind your weed, but I’ll give you this rule of thumb to work with.
If your weed is ground too fine, this will result in you pulling a mouthful of ash into your one-hitter pipe. If you don’t grind up your weed enough and the chunks are too big, it will block airflow and you won’t be able to inhale weed at all.
We suggest that you try grinding up three different consistencies of cannabis and then pack each one into your one hitter and test which one is the perfect consistency. Then grind your weed this way every time so that you can load your one hitter without problems in the future.
For a four-step cannabis grinder perfect for a one-hitter, try our dart herb grinder.
Pro Tip: If your buds are very dry you might not want to grind them too much as they will turn to ash too quickly, and if your buds are large and damp you might not want to grind them too hard as this will block airflow.
2. Beveled Edge Pack One Hitter
The next step is packing the one hitter. Look at the picture above center as you can see the weed is packed nice and tight in the one hitter bowl chamber. In order to get this perfect package, you should first and foremost use the right tools.
The dart has a beveled edge in the chamber so all you have to do is take your weed container and point the head end of the chillum down into the marijuana. Press and turn at the same time. This effectively wraps your marijuana perfectly every time because when you squeeze you wrap and when you twist you use the beveled edges to break the weed apart.
3. Use a canister to store weed
Using a one-hitter is all about mobility, convenience, and of course, stealth. You don’t have time to shred weed and grind it up every time you want to smoke weed, this defeats the purpose of using a one-hitter.
Make sure you use a premium, smell-proof marijuana canister like Dart’s canister. Grind your weed to the perfect consistency and store all your weed in this smell-proof cannabis container for a great smoke all week long!
Even if you know how to nail a one-hitter perfectly, read on as we explain step-by-step exactly how to use a one-hitter so you get the most bang for your buck.
How to use a one hitter step by step like a pro
Now that you’ve mastered the basics with the perfectly packaged one hitter, it’s time you understood how to use a one hitter as a whole and get the best smoke possible. Everything you need to know about it is in our ultimate one hitter guide.
Now you know that you should have a canister for your cannabis with perfectly ground marijuana. With this, all next steps are super easy, especially with The Dart.
Follow these three easy steps to use a one-hitter:
Step 1. Spin to load your one hitter
Take your marijuana canister with the perfectly ground weed and aim your one-hitter bowl chamber down into the marijuana. If you have a dart, you can easily load your one hitter by pressing down and twisting.
The beveled edges in the dart one-hitter tube chamber and the pressure help you pack your one-hitter perfectly. If you don’t have a dart and are using an older one hitter whistle, just make sure you angle your shelter enough for gravity to help a little and check the weed packed in the one hitter whistle to see make sure it is packed perfectly. You are looking for a nice and tightly packed bowl with no loose parts. Like the picture below:
Grabbing a one-hitter has never been easier.
Step 2. Smoke your one hitter
Learning how to smoke a one hitter is very important. Don’t just push the flame into your one hitter and inhale like a bong. It depends if your cannabis is dry or wet? We recommend lighting the flame and then tapping the bowl of marijuana in and out of the flame in your one hitter.
This isn’t what you need to do every time, but as a beginner, just test what different burns do with your loaded one-hitter chamber.
Pro Tip: If your weed is dry, don’t give it too much flame, but if your weed is damp, go ahead and light it up!
Breathe in as you do so to ensure you find that sweet spot. Keep lighting and inhaling until all the marijuana at the end of the pipe is used up.
Step 3. Ash your one hitter
If you are not using a dart, this feature will not be available to you. If you’re using a dart, after you’re done, simply press the button on the inhalation end of your one-hitter and you’ll feel it being pushed down like a button. This will eject any ash in the bowl chamber, eliminating the need to hit or shake your one-hitter!
Pro Tip: By constantly using the self-ashing system, you will not have to clean your one hitter as often and you will reduce the risk of inhaling pitch and tar deposits into your lungs.
How to grab a one hitter without a dugout
Since the DART isn’t your average one-hitter, it only makes sense that it wouldn’t load like the typical cigarette one-hitter dugout you typically see. The traditional one-hitter is generally kept with a dugout in one, but can be a bit bulky and cumbersome.
The DART is more efficient and discreet. Using a canister to store your ground weed is perfect as it fits on your keychain and is odor proof.
If you don’t have a canister or shelter for your one hitter, maybe you just ran out of weed or forgot, then you should do it the old-fashioned way. Use scissors to trim small chunks of bud into the consistency you know will burn smoothly in your one-hitter pipe.
If you’re really on the go and just need to pick up your smoke, the last resort is to use your fingers and try to squeeze out that perfect consistency as mentioned above. Whether you use scissors or fingers to shred your weed, make sure you grab the one-hitter whistle at the end. You can do this with a gentle push of your fingers into the bowl chamber.
The last thing you want is a bunch of loosely finger-picked cannabis that isn’t packed into the chamber.
Remember that when lighting a bowl, just a puff of the fire on the weed is enough to set it alight. Once it burns, pull slowly and evenly. A one-hitter was intended for microdosing cannabis, you’re not hitting a bong so you don’t need to inhale big.
Conclusion
When using a one-hitter, the most important step is loading the bowl. You’ll be pleased to find that you get just the right amount of high and your stash stretched over a longer period compared to other methods of smoking weed.
The DART is the best device for preserving flowers and now that you know how to fill a bowl properly you will be pleased with your overall results.
