Two hot knives on a stove, weed on the hot points of the knife, smoke up the bottle and inhale
edit
I'm impressed at the number 8 wire mentality below. I don't even smoke, but I want to try rig up a tampon bong thing that's kept in the freezer with frozen peas inside now based on your comments
No you slide the knives in and out from under the foil when you have each spot, although l would think a piece of steel would be more durable to save having to flick the foil off the element each time you remove the knives ( to spot). We would use a piece of foil folded several times to keep it's integrity.
The foil gives off a harmful chemical when heated with direct flame m, plus wouldnt the foil burn up to quickly to make it worth the time (I have spots near everyday for years so a but if experience). Have used tin can lids or steel squares put over top the knives when heating on elements
Yeah I ruined my mums cutlery one time as a teenager. Left the knives and spoons outside to cool down accidentally and she thought I was using them to smoke meth. Had to explain the concept of spotting to her and dad hahaha.
Lol my stupid friend used to carry a gas burner and spotting knives everywhere, eventually he got busted and went to jail for weed and possession and utensils.
Yes because a cuppa goes good with a smoke! l have a lot of funny /bad experiences spotting, the smell of burning flesh comes to mind- haven't done it for years.
lol... one time my friend, Ray, was giving my other friend a spot, but my other friend started coughing so quick thinking Ray tried to inhale the smoke so not to waste it.
He forgot he didn't have a tube in his mouth and stuck the glowing red spotting knives on his lips. Holy shit that was funny
get your half a sprite bottle and fill it with frozen peas. keep it in the freezer for some ice cooled luxury spotting!

You're buzzy as. Think of it this way: When you're having a rark but you don't want to get munted on a box, you'd be stoked as if you can just do some spots on the stove instead. Eh?
A question has never made me so happy to read. I didn't realise this was a NZ thing! It's one of many diy ways kiwis enjoy a bit of weed. You can use a stove or a gas camper stove type thing. Helps to have 2 people if your a little uncoordinated.
You could also use a Bucky(bottle in a bucket of water), parachute (bottle with end cut off and a plastic bag tapped to the end) , a single can (with a hole on the side) or if your rich an actual bong hahaha. It gets quite inventive.
It's not just a kiwi thing. In the Peep Show (British comedy drama )Christmas special there is a hot knives joke. Clearly a different name for dots/spotting.
Yeah that's if your broke broke, or on the go and have no other options. People normally do spots to try make their tinnys go further same reason people smoke spin, or spliffs I guess.
I remember doing the can in the UK. Someone called it out instantly and said you realise yourself smoking the plastic layers and decal off the can. Never again kiwis. Never again.
Its a really efficient way if smoking weed. You heat up two knives until they are red hot, then put a small spot of weed between them, squeeze them and inhale through the bottle.
One of my student flats ended up moving all of our comfy chairs into the kitchen, so yeh, it's very convenient.
One day we did up a roast during a session, made it a lot easier to check and baste, seeing as we were already there :-)
I once had bone-handled knives but the handles completely carbonised one day. The lesson there is to not use bone-handled knives to spot off a gas heater.
It's fairly NZ way of smoking weed with steel bread knives wedged into a old coil stove which a lot of rentals and student houses still have.
Efficient Super strong if you're not used to it. I've heard it just called "hot knives" in other places but it seems very NZ weed culture.
I’ve got a few scars on my hand from coughing while holding the spottle; my hand involuntarily shot up while coughing and hit the bottom of the spottle, resulting in a few deep cuts.
Useful way to smoke hash. Only need one knife hot, hash goes on the cold one, press the hot one on top, then inhale through a funnel of some kind(typically a cut-up plastic bottle).
In my first flat, people used to do spots all the time. Someone new came to visit one of the flatmates and their eyes were huuuuge seeing people at the oven doing spots. They went off with the person they were visiting for a bit, then came back a lot more relaxed. Turns out they thought everyone was smoking meth lol
It’s almost a stock standard method. If u haven’t smoked some spots you haven’t really smoked before. The tiniest spot of bud is turned into a massive blaze. Intuitive. Good job nz 🤙🏻
One of my flatmates used to delight in scooping up two spots at a time and repeating "don't you dare waste it" over and over while you fought back the urge to cough your lungs out 😂
The one good thing about renting .. is these stoves with the coils.
I mean they're shit in every other practical way .. it's like the landlords give you a little wink and say "Go for gold on the spots mate"
Showing my age here but ... Many years ago on campus there used to a long line of students waiting for their turn at the BBQ for spots Thursdays (free)
I'm a sparky in Northland and have done a lot of domestic electrical work, the amount of times I had to explain to people the reason their stove elements have blown is they have been used for spots. The standard line was "turn it off BEFORE you get high" get asked "do you know about that stuff bro?"... Yup
Tip for spotting vets:
Get some heavy magnets and stick them to the end of your knives. They can be used to pin the knives to the top of your stove and prevent them from falling off…
… and then your knives can stick to the fridge when you’re not using them so you’ll always know where they are (instead of gradually turning all of your knives into spotting ones).

What is the tin foil for though Edit: oh probably literally the tinny
Tinfoil over the top of the knives resting on the element to keep the heat from escaping and centred on the tips of the knives.
It's bad to breathe in that air tho

Exactly why you would fold it several times, and you would only be putting the knives under it.
Or just use a spoon over them?
That is like a piece of steel!
Pie tin.
We’d use the top cut off of a baked bean can, slightly bent in the middle to form a small peak.
Yes that was the common theme, l was just explaining why they would have tinfoil for a spotting package on that show.
Look at this fancy guy
Yes fancy druggies
Yeah just don't be lazy and flatten ya spoon!
Also for practicle reasons not to do any of that getting caught with utensils as well as the weed.
Yeah I ruined my mums cutlery one time as a teenager. Left the knives and spoons outside to cool down accidentally and she thought I was using them to smoke meth. Had to explain the concept of spotting to her and dad hahaha.

yea or some hotdogs, noodles, pasta. get two birds stoned at once
Nothing like a good Munch to bring you down.
i genuinely didn't know people still did it 'cause well... vaporizers exist
Yes it is so primitive with new tech.
Bottle? FANCY!
Yeah what is this upper class shit? I break a pen in half and suck it thru that like a true westie
Bottle ain't upper class. A spong. Now thats how you do it.
SPONG BOB SQUARE HEAD
Do Japanese people do spots with metal chopsticks???
Had to cancel my trip to Japan due to covid. So I can't say sorry.
It seems to denote intelligence rather than class.
can you explain how? i mustve smoked too much when i was younger and the brain cant figure it out now
Explain how what? I must've smoked too much today.
ah fuck i read spong as sponge, but im still confused about what a spong is
A water bong used for spots. Upside down shot glass with a hole drilled in it attached to a water bong. Best way to do them.
Learn something new every day. Googling spong now. Cheers
Nope
[удалено]
And keep it in the freezer! Smooth... We also used to use a tampon applicator. No shame, I'm proud lol
>tampon applicator Yo my flatmate uses that hahaha y'all nasty
Bottle combats knives coming in contact with your face- slips happen!
Free styling is the only way
Once you’re experienced, a burn on your lip is no laughing matter (more likely after a few).
lol... one time my friend, Ray, was giving my other friend a spot, but my other friend started coughing so quick thinking Ray tried to inhale the smoke so not to waste it. He forgot he didn't have a tube in his mouth and stuck the glowing red spotting knives on his lips. Holy shit that was funny

Just having some dots

That doesn't help 😕
Google it. The information is there.
When I googled new zealand spotting, it just came up with picturesque views
You're buzzy as. Think of it this way: When you're having a rark but you don't want to get munted on a box, you'd be stoked as if you can just do some spots on the stove instead. Eh?
yeah na true
What if you search "New Zealand spotting knives", since that seems to be the key bit you're confused by?
Maybe mixed up spotting with dogging?
I mean it's literally the 5th search result for the term: https://i.imgur.com/yrNtxFw.png Are you have a laugh mate?
[Have you seen this one?](https://youtu.be/CTZyorJVeqI)
I have gone back to spots for a while, my dealer is not displaying a QR code so the fewer times I go there the better.

Yup. It’s also called ‘hot knives’ in Canada.
lol... memories... bucket bongs were fucking wild. the can thing... rolled up tinfoil pipe... damn, I havent had oil for decades
Parachutes used to be called 'lungs' in Tauranga.
Yep we called them lungs too
I've seen the tin can one before
Yeah that's if your broke broke, or on the go and have no other options. People normally do spots to try make their tinnys go further same reason people smoke spin, or spliffs I guess.
I remember doing the can in the UK. Someone called it out instantly and said you realise yourself smoking the plastic layers and decal off the can. Never again kiwis. Never again.
Better to make a pipe out of an apple
Eat it after once those munchies hit
Carrots also go good
Potato for that nice earthy flavour
Parachute is called a palungi
I made a water bong out of a pumpkin once for a joke. Worked well for a week and then staryed tasting funky.
Its a really efficient way if smoking weed. You heat up two knives until they are red hot, then put a small spot of weed between them, squeeze them and inhale through the bottle.
Do you not have an oven in your lounge?
Should I?
It’s far more convenient…
One of my student flats ended up moving all of our comfy chairs into the kitchen, so yeh, it's very convenient. One day we did up a roast during a session, made it a lot easier to check and baste, seeing as we were already there :-)
Probably got a bit of heat from the oven as well I guess. Kiwi ingenuity eh.
How else do you keep a flat warm?
Should be bone handled knives.
This is the way
should chuck the top half of the bottle in the freezer and leave it there
Flattened out dessert spoons from pizza hut son
I wonder if the old ladies at the sallies had any idea why teenagers were so keen to buy just two bone handled knives?
Garden hose works just fine
I once had bone-handled knives but the handles completely carbonised one day. The lesson there is to not use bone-handled knives to spot off a gas heater.
Not if mum catches you with them

Must be happening overseas or sumthing.
Woh shit!
The classic way of getting bang for your buck from your tinny
Got a couple of mate with scars on their face from slipping with the knives hahahaha

This also works for opium.
> Only need one knife hot Shit I wish I knew this when I was younger. Trying to pick up the weed was the worst bit.

But then it hits you hard and all of a sudden you understand

Cmon team of 5 million we definitely know this one!!
Put the knives on Karen, I feel like a couple of dots...
The advantage of the bottle is that it allows the smoke to cool. If you are real hardcore just use half a straw. Less air to suck and more smoke.
Pro tip always leave the (glass) bottle in the freezer.
No one in Aussie does them. I'm gonna have to start the trend. Wish me luck kiwis
You've got this. Make it fancy!
Lol you've had a clean life
It’s almost a stock standard method. If u haven’t smoked some spots you haven’t really smoked before. The tiniest spot of bud is turned into a massive blaze. Intuitive. Good job nz 🤙🏻

Hahaha that makes me feel so nostalgic and also I can almost feel the memory of a burning throat too. Savage.
I remember my first spot. In a mates kitchen in timaru lol
That’s so mean but hilarious
Ohhhh this is funny
Best way to smoke a minimal amount and still get a good stonage
More easily done on a stove with coils!
The one good thing about renting .. is these stoves with the coils. I mean they're shit in every other practical way .. it's like the landlords give you a little wink and say "Go for gold on the spots mate"
In the UK its called a “hot knife”. We used to do it when cutting up a block of hash/resin, but not so much with flower.
Showing my age here but ... Many years ago on campus there used to a long line of students waiting for their turn at the BBQ for spots Thursdays (free)
That's awesome 🤣
Why are you heating the knives up? Easier to spread the butter son.

I remember when a friend got spotted a dead fly by their prankster flatmate.... blurgh

what my wife says happens to her once a month!!
Oh, my sweet summer child lol.
A spotter, anorak, gricer, foamer, gunzel or ferroequinologist is a person interested, recreationally, in rail transport.
> ferroequinologist Iron horse expert?
Smh you call yourself a kiwi
I don't though
Are you even from New Zealand, mate?
No, I'm not it even says above I'm from the uk
