Okay I am not trying to sound stupid but I just purchased a SSFG ice pinch slide and my weed keeps pulling through? From my understanding I thought these things kept stuff from coming through? Is there a secret I dont know about? Thanks for any help,I love the slide but hate wasting my smoke. :smoke1:

pack it tight, and all ice pinches are designed differently. a 3 pinch toro ice pinch will keep everything in, but a 4 pinch works like a super airflowed push.... royal makes the best pinches imo.

Ah, I get the idea of them now (Airflow). For the past week I've been debating posting a thread asking where the ice goes in them and how the weed doesn't get wet. lol

i have a toro ice pinch on the way, an older royal that i picked up from BF with tight pinches, and a brand new Royal that i picked up yesterday with perfectly spaced pinches.

I have found that a slight bit falls through with the wider spaced pinches, but as long as you don't pull too hard, then it should stay relatively well. The Toro ice pinches work as well as the Royal and keep the ash put in the slide better imo. Everyone has their own preference for how to pack it, but you will find what you like soon enough.

I have always noticed the difference in gap on the pinches, even when comparing royal to royal slides.

Well put re: finding a sweet spot with each slide. Personally i like all my ash to stay in the slide so a 4 pinch seems like a winner.

4 pinch for 18s and 3 for 14's is perfect

Since this is an ice pinch slide thread does anyone know the history behind it?

smoke it in (burn it in) and then poke out the resin in the holes with a metal stir stick and you should be able to reduce the lose...:pipe:

After each hit press the ash/green down.. That way it doesn't leak through

Sadly, I wasn't. I'm pretty new to glass and have a no name GonG bong that hits well but I definately over paid for. I mainly lurk around here lusting for other people's glass and hoping that someone puts a nice bong up in my price range.
