A Quick Guide from Green Valley Dispensary
Packing a bowl might seem simple—but doing it right can take your smoke session from good to great. Whether you’re loading a pipe or bong, the goal is the same: a smooth, flavorful, even burn. Here’s how to pack a perfect bowl, Green Valley-style.
What You’ll Need
-
Your favorite glass piece (pipe or bong)
-
Ground flower (ask us for recommendations!)
-
A lighter or hemp wick
-
Optional: grinder, mesh screen, or kief topper
Step-by-Step: Packing a Perfect Bowl
1. Grind Your Flower
Use a grinder for an even, medium-coarse consistency. Too fine, and it’ll clog your piece. Too chunky, and it won’t burn evenly.
2. Start with a Base
Drop a slightly larger nug at the bottom to act as a natural screen. This improves airflow and keeps bits from getting pulled through.
3. Layer Lightly
Loosely fill the rest of the bowl, then gently press it down—just enough to keep things snug. Don’t overpack!
4. Light & Inhale
Use a lighter or hemp wick to corner the bowl—light one edge to preserve fresh green for the next hit. Inhale gently and enjoy.
