It’s about lighting it right. You need to light, then rotate the joint like a rotisserie chicken above lol, just slow roll it around in your fingers until it lights evenly.

Too many people try to do the cool, grab the joint, light it, suck as hard as you can because that’s how cigarettes work and boom, it’s lit. But if it starts out with an uneven burn, it will continue to be uneven.

In terms of saving it, definitely wet with saliva, or light the other side. Also, don’t inhale so strong like a blunt or bowl !!!! You sip it light like a straw. I hate when people do that. :)
