Top 10 Ways To Smoke Hash
Smoking hash is a timeless cannabis pastime.
An excellent hash is tasty, smooth, and potent. Top-quality hash can be found at dispensaries and extraction companies, but simple hash preparations are also easy to make at home after trimming and handling whatever strain you love the most.
Once you have procured your hash, one key question remains: how do you smoke it? From the classic hot knife to the simple cup method, here’s the ultimate guide on how to smoke hash.
How To Load A Hash Bowl
Loading a hash bowl is easy—just sprinkle some right on top!
You can place hash on top of the ground flower in a standard bong, pipe, or bubbler.
Built to last a lifetime, with an integrated Secure-Screen System and a durable design that’s intuitive to its user, this smoking accessory is one that you’ll want in your weed repertoire.
It withstands high temperatures, so you can light it up as many times as per session without worrying about breakage. Plus, it’s super easy to clean: all you have to do is turn it over and tap on the end to release the ash.
Smoking hash with flower can also slow down your burn, making the experience slightly more long-lived and more enjoyable. Using a screen is highly recommended if you’re hoping to skip the flower and smoke hash simply by itself.
Hash is made using pressure to combine individual trichome crystals (kief). Once this product is heated, it can quickly melt. Using a screen helps keep the hash in place and prevents you from inhaling excess hot oil material.
How To Smoke Hash By Itself
When smoking hash out of a pipe or a bubbler, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, you’ll want to stick to smaller chunks of hash. Why? As we mentioned, hash is made from the collected oils that have been removed from cannabis plants and compressed.
These compressed oils will smolder longer than typical flower. If you place all of your hash in your bowl at once, chances are you’ll waste some of your coveted product. Some consumers also use a torch lighter—not a dab torch—to light their hash.
How To Smoke Hash Using A Hot Knife
Want to leave your hot knife days behind? You can easily smoke hash while just holding it in your hand. Of course, you’ll want to roll it into a joint-like shape first.
Here’s how to do it:
2 similar butter knives, preferably with insulated handles.
Torch or stovetop
Straw (optional)
Step 1: Heat The Knives
Heat the blades of both knives to a medium-high heat using a stovetop or a torch. If you’re using a straw, it may be helpful to place it into your mouth now.
Metal straws make for the safest choice—we urge a lot of care if you’re using a plastic straw or cut-off bottle.
Step 2: Place Hash On One Knife
Drop a dollop of hash onto one of the hot knife blades. Next, quickly place the other hot knife blade on top of the hash dollop. Smoke should begin to rise.
Step 3: Inhale
Use your straw or bottle to inhale the smoke. If you’re not using a straw, simply place your face close enough to the smoke to inhale, being very careful not to burn yourself. The knife method may be popular, but it certainly isn’t practical in terms of consumer safety and ease of inhalation.
How To Smoke Dry Sift Hash
Dry sift, also called kief, is the collected resin crystals that have been separated from cannabis flowers. To smoke dry sift, simply sprinkle some of the resin powder on top of your next bowl of flower.
If you want to smoke dry sift by itself, you can sprinkle some onto a sheet of wax paper. Next, fold the wax paper over the dry sift, collecting it in a central location. If you have a hair straightener handy, you can simply pass the dry sift through the hair straightener.
The heat and pressure from the hair straightener should melt the dry sift into something more akin to rosin. Once partially melted, the dry sift will become easier to manipulate. You can then use this rosin in a vaporizer, on a dab rig, or simply add it to your next joint.
How To Smoke Hash In A Vaporizer
Vaporizing hash is as easy as vaporizing flower or concentrates.
Due to the unique consistency of hash, it can often be vaporized in both dry herb and concentrate vaporizers. Chambers designed for dry herbs may produce a slightly better hash experience.
However, when vaporizing hash, it is recommended to use a higher temperature than you would use for your dried flower. That said, you do not need to heat hash to the same high temperatures (400℉ and beyond) that you would use for other types of cannabis concentrates.
Simply place a small dollop of hash into your vaporizer, gently warm up the hash by pushing the fire button a couple of times, and then enjoy your hash vapor as desired.

7. Add Your Hash To A Blunt
Rolling a blunt with hash is one of the easiest ways to smoke this potent and powerful substance.
For one thing, if you already know how to roll a blunt, you’ll know how to roll one with hash. It’s as simple as breaking up your hash into a crumbly texture and sprinkling/spreading it around the blunt.
8. How To Smoke Hash In A Cup
Were you hoping for a bigger hit? You can easily collect hash smoke into a cup and inhale. This is an excellent choice for those interested in smoking hash at a party or social gathering when you’ve accidentally left your vape at home.
Materials
Thin dab tool
Lighter
Glass cup
Straw (optional)
Step 1: Ready The Cup
Place a glass cup upside down on the edge of a coffee table, countertop, or another hard surface. Only a small portion of the lip should peek over the edge.
Step 2: Place A Dollop Of Hash On Your Dab Tool
Pick off a small chunk of hash and carefully secure it to your dab tool. The idea is that you want to make sure that your hash is unlikely to fall off once it is burning, as it could potentially burn a hole in your sofa, pants, or sock if it falls.
Step 3: Use The Cup To Collect Smoke
Once your hash is lit, carefully place the tip of the dab tool under the lip of the cup. Smoke should begin collecting in the cup for you to inhale.
Step 4: Inhale
To inhale the smoke, simply use a straw or your mouth to inhale the tasty clouds out of the cup.
Maybe you won’t be able to do some tricks with the smoke (like french inhale), and you’ll probably have to bend over in a weird way to do so, but the hit is worth the awkward posture.
9. How To Smoke Hash In A Bong
Unless you’re topping off some flower with a little bit of hash, the best way to smoke hash out of a bong is using a screen.
Place a screen at the bottom of a clean bong bowl. Place a small amount of hash into the bowl and light the hash with a traditional lighter.
You may need to blow on the hash gently to encourage it to burn as a continuous ember. Some people prefer to light their hash with a torch lighter. As your hash gently burns, simply inhale and enjoy.
