- Over the years, my lips inched further and further into the bong as I became more and more comfortable with the action. Years in, my entire lip surface area was being jammed into the top opening. I looked somewhat like a fish when I would do the same movement in the mirror. About two months ago, I started getting resin lips (bong mouth) and I was perplexed. I tried all the ways people suggested to get rid of it, such as packing smaller bowls, lowering the water level, and milking it less. However, the only thing that worked was simply, me changing my lip position.
All I did to fix it was do some serious thinking about how much area my lips were taking up when they were jammed so far down into the bong. I compared that with the actual opening between my lips that allowed smoke into my mouth. Surprisingly, the surface area of my lips probably took up 80% of the total sucking area, and so obviously the smoke would be accumulating on my lips and turning to resin, as opposed to entering my lungs.
So, if you have this problem, I highly recommend changing your lip position. Take your lips back out of the opening and allow less surface area of your lips to block the smoke from your mouth-hole. Make your mouth-hole as wide as it can be and this problem should be fixed. Allow the smoke to enter your mouth and not get stuck on your lips, which happen to be obstructing your mouth-hole.
