^ That is one of the best explanations of the breath method I have heard put into words. Trying to follow most over complicated descriptions of it makes you end up trying to breath through your eyeballs like the Tim Robbin's character in Bull Durham.

I hold the pipe more than I clench. If I clench for more than 10 seconds I feel like I'm about to drool. I'll clench for 5-10 seconds and then grab the pipe and hold it for a while. Then I'll clench again, then hold it for a while. I don't want to be known as the drooling piper.
This makes me feel so much better. I've been trying to learn the "breath method" and it seems to facilitate a wet mouth.

I clench almost exclusively. Not for any other reason than my hands are free. It just happened. One day, I stopped having to take the pipe out of my mouth. I just assume if you smoke enough bowls, it happens one day. Perhaps not for everyone, but I never put much thought into it.

True dat, johnmosesbrowning. I tend to salivate with the thing in my mouth. I once wondered if some of the humidity in the bowl and the subsequent gurgling some experience was related to clenching.
