So guys, I'm pretty high and I thought I'd share a few key differences us Aussies have to you Americans that I've noticed Here's a short list:
We don't have names for weed. There are no brands. It's just referred to like so: "dude dealer A's shit is so much better than dealer B's weed"
We call bowls "cones" and we call the bowl itself a "conepiece", or "CP"
When we smoke through a bong, we go cone by cone. We don't share a cone with other people. As for size, generally 1g will give me around 10 or so cones
We smoke primarily through home-made bongs and joints. We very rarely use pipes, vapes, brownies etc. (to the point where I've never done the latter 3)
Our home-made bongs consist of a regular 600mL bottle, a small piece of a hose and a conepiece made from a can
We call tobacco "spin" when we mix it with our weed, which we usually do. Actually, within my closer circle of friends, we've stopped doing this, and we refer to the unspun cones as "green cones"
I don't account for all the Aussies but this is what it's like in my area though

wow that is completely different i actually like all the names we have for it lol ... me and my bro-in-law always txt each other "yo SSP" tonight SSP= smoke some pot and it took my girl forever to figure out what it meant lol
WHAT YOU DONT SHARE ??? THAT RIGHT THERE IS COMPLETE BLASPHEMY dunno bout everyone else but im a completely social smoker i rarely smoke alone and never greedy with mine. if i have it then we are trying to make it work so everything gets a piece of it ( most times people have there own but sharing is caring right )
tobacco in your weed now that just wrong man your messing up the universe with shit like that lol jk man.... i might be a lil biased on this comment tho cause i dont smoke cigarettes, but i dont mind a nice cigar from time to time ....
umm with the whole home made things ya we have had our share of home made bongs and pipes, and joints are normally hand rolled any ways, but having that nice glass bong with the right amount of water and ice and having it pack and taking that super smooth hit , home made cant just measure up to it im sorry man ....
i've actually had a few glass bongs myself but they've either been stolen or broken or confiscated and all my friends are too stingy to buy one because they're way too expensive here
but yeah we just don't share cones it's not because we don't want to share it, it's just that it never crossed our minds and we're so used to our own style that it would be weird to share a cone (that seriously made me go wtf when i first heard it)
I couldn't imagine smoking without my trusty pipe. My buddy in colorado is very very into "torching" which is the kind of glass blowing people use to make functional glass (glass you can smoke out of)
He's getting better and better, and I have the privilege of owning the second pipe he ever touched.
He had help with some of it, but its cool to think my buddy put all the color into the pipe and other details as well.
Also, one of the reasons we in the states have names (at least in my case) is because the growing of weed in places like cali and colorado have become pretty close to straight up science. The names just make things easier to keep track of when you start getting into sativa and indica and their hybrids and whatnot.
Also, wtf dude you hog a whole bowl on the bong to yourself? That would just waste weed bro O.o
Maybe you just use really small bowls? Like a snap?
If you're just gonna load a snap I guess it's understandable, but those are called snaps, and we have special little bowls for those.

Well step one is definitely making a sploof. I recommend using a paper towel roll instead of the smaller toilet paper rolls. Alternatively you can buy one of these.
You also want a smoking apparatus that you can pack small bowls, or "snaps," out of. For instance, use a water bong and just pack one hit at a time. At the end of your hit simply pull through the contents of the bowl to prevent any unsploofed smoke from seeping out into the room. Smoking joints indoors is never wise if you need to keep your toking under the radar.
Packing multiple-hit bowls and using a sploof is also pretty ineffective. If even a little bit of that unfiltered smoke rises from your smoldering bowl of ganja you can be certain that it will smell hezzabezza dank.
You probably want to use either a window or one of those bathroom fans if you really want it to be undetectable. My method is exhaling through a large sploof directly into the fan in my bathroom. Very rarely will the smell become unmanageable if you use this method correctly.
If you find it necessary to even further reduce the risk of your apartment smelling like a reggae festival consider buying a vaporizer. I recommend an iolite for portability, a hotbox for cost-effectiveness, or a volcano if you have the extra money to burn (or vape for that matter).

In my circle our smoking consists of Personals (1 hit for 1 person) and Bowls (which is usually a Salad of weed combined from everyone, usually quite a bit of weed). When smoking a bowl with your friends its kind of the unwritten rule that if your hitting a big enough bowl, there should still be some greens after 1-2 hits. But mostly we smoke personals (perci's, or snaps as someone else called them). Some people mix weed with tobacco but its always on a personal level. I have yet to meet a whole circle of people that thought that was normal. We have a lot of glass shops where I live, so I have a nice bubbler and and friend of mine who is living in NY is having me watch over his bong ^_^.
Hah I always thought cones had to do with Joints. We call some joints cones, because they are shapped as such.
I have smoked from a pipe/joint for 5 years until I decided to invest in a vaporizor. I got myself a iolite for about $220CAD and it has been the best decision ever. All the positive effects are still there and all the negative effects are gone. Its like inhaling air. I recommend that to anyone who can afford it. Also, my buddy lend me his volcano and that thing is the ultimate vaporizing machine. But for $600+ you really have to enjoy blazing but trust me it¨ll save your lungs in the long run. It also doesnt give off a lasting odor so you can do it in public places ie movie theatres, washrooms (iolite)
We usually get bored of just using a bong or pipe, etc. We like to mix it up, often going from joints to bong and vice versa. I see a lot of people say they do one bowl per person, but I find that unusual as we've never really done that. We pretty much just pass it to the left (written rule.) until it's empty, then repack.
I love glass bongs, but we broke so many that we just stick to plastic ones. Easier to carry, and less likely to break. Pipes are really cool (the wooden wizard ones) but they seem to always get jammed and it's a pain in the ass.

God damn we are fucking spoiled in colorado T.T
hey man you know i think ive seen a documentary on something like that the whole "torching glass" or it was one of those " How its made" vid i dont remember but its look really dope and cool thing to learn...
Bumped, because this thread shouldn't have to be bumped in the first place. Step it up TL'ers.
Anyways, to the Aussie and his culture lesson, that was pretty cool. In my area, snappers for one person are usually a custom when hitting a medium-sized and bigger bong but usually shared bowls if a bubbler, pipe, chillum etc. Blunts are also pretty popular around here (tobbaco wrap).

Awesome post man. Informative, to the point, and full of wisdom. Some of those tips, without the proper guidance, would take some folks a lot of experience/time/repetition/experimenting/brainstorming to obtain.
edit: added spoilers and wanted to say I luuove Cali in the summertiiiime
I miss smoking weed, I used to quite alot but then it started making me paranoid and negative. But I loved just sitting down with my mates and lighting up a bong in my room, listening to the Beatles... ahh good times. Enjoy your buzz fellow stoners........
edit: you guys should listen to the album 'Love' by the Beatles when ur stoned. Blows ur mind
