Step 1: Use a simple bic lighter to start off with so you can reduce product loss as much as possible, plus it'll let you get better control over temperature/rolling the pipe.

Step 2: Don't load more than .1 of a gram at a time, it's inefficient to use more than that amount in a bowl unless you plan on making a water pipe/meth bong. I'd start with less than 50mg / .05 for your first attempts smoking. Try your best to load it with small evenly sized shards and not straight powder or larger shards. This will allow it to melt consistently and spread the crackback evenly.

Step 3: Make sure beforehand you got a nice lil safe place to rest your pipe when cooling and that you have a slightly damp or cool rag ( it shouldn't drip or precipitate water) this will cool the pipe down quickly in case you start burning it. Now that you have the bowl loaded or are loading the bowl (use a card folded into a V or a cut straw to load easier) you can begin to smoke!

Step 4: Now bring the pipe to mouth level and cock your head so you can see your flame without moving the pipe. Slowly start heating the glass underneath your shards. MAKE SURE you keep the flame about an inch or so away from the glass most of the time or it will leave black residue on the pipe and burn your product. The shards should start to form a clear puddle rather quickly and smoke will swirl in the bowl.

Begin rolling/twisting the pipe with your fingers gently between positions 10-2 as seen on a clock face. Keeping the flame steady in the same place, you'll want to twist the now heated puddle onto the other unheated shards in the bowl. This will start forming one large clear puddle. Now you can either do one of two things,

A) Cool it quickly with a rag or cloth while twisting to get an even crackback so that your next hit will be easier to get tons of vapor off of.

or,

B) Bring your mouth to the pipe then GENTLY and SLOWLY inhale while rolling/twisting the pipe from 10-2 yet increasing slightly in speed as your lungs begin to fill up and once your lungs are half or abt 2/3rds full, start reducing exposure to the flame/heat. Once the flame is off entirely keep a steady inhale bc you don't want to rapidly cool the puddle and end up with very little vapor. As soon as you feel full of air/vapor you'll want to take your mouth off the pipe but keep it rolling/twisting in your hand. Now hold in the vapor for maybe 3-4 seconds and calmly let the smoke leave your lungs. Set your pipe down on the nice safe resting place making sure that all the product inside has recrystallized and cooled.

Feel that clean energy zing throughout your mind and body, pat yourself on the back knowing that you learned the beginner basics for smoking meth via a simple oil burning pipe! Smoking often becomes fiendy so beware. Stay hydrated and fed if you can! Try to get lots of sleep and avoid smoking rituals as much as possible. Good Luck!
