I wrap my lighter with it. Better taste that butane imo.

cool idea

I like the hemp twine with the bees wax for christmas. I always forget its there, but when I use it I enjoy the smell of beeswax, as well as the tactile quality of the twine with the wax on it. Its a nice little toy to play with right after you get high.

Hemp wicks are cool with me. I use them & I do notice a cleaner taste when smoking out of glass or pipes & bongs in general. I've tried the thicker Beelines & yes I fuxx with them. Worth it if you want to smoke butaneless & clean. Next best thing to a solar hit imo, those just can't be beat.

Its funny when ever someone comes over I end up sending a 10ft peice home with them. I hoping I can get enough ppl together to order a case then its really cheap. Just to let anyone know, I keep it lit as it follows the bowl.
Peace

^Barf. Zippostaste like you're chugging octane.

Besides that I've tried almost everything you can think of but hempwick...solar hits, hakkos, wicks, beeline, glow rods, and every type of vape you could think of including one from volcano they never even released to the public.

Between my circle taste is extremely important and when you have enough it's a bigger deal to enjoy the flavor than burn it excessively. One good friend prefers a glow rod without even burning more that the top 1/4 of the bowl then dumps it, it's a jaded way of smoking, but extremely clean and much healthier.

To the original debate though I love beeline and if not using that I'm usually using a glow rod, never used a hempwick though and fwiw the beeline adds next to no added flavor and helps keep bics going forever if you wrap them like someone else said.

I dig the hempwick over lighters when smoking a bong or bowl load of bubble.
The lighters taste nasty and inflame my asthma..
Nothing beats solar hits though...Now if I could only find my magnafying glass.
peace
 
I don't prefer them over lighters. I've taken solar hits and used just about everything you could use to light weed but I always use a lighter.

I also have a thing for espresso brown bics. I smoke cigarettes so I could give a fuck what I'm inhaling.

I'll use a hemp wick to light weed if someone passes it to me, but I find it to be very silly that someone would buy a lighter and then spend 20 for some wick so they can use the lighter to light the wick to combust the weed.

all bics all day.
the only thing I don't like using are matches, ESP in a car. can't stand the smell

Yea, the cigarettes have ruined your taste buds...

id rather someone genie a whole box of matches in the car than spark up a cancer stick

I used to use bee line, i-tal and a few others, but not anymore. As others have said it imparts a slight flavor, but what I really don't agree with is inhaling bees wax vapors, bees wax is good for are skin yet terrible for are pulmonary system. A few years ago I really got into removing the plant waxes, lipids and fats from my non polar extracts and really started seeing the negative effect these components of the cannabis plant have on are lungs. After that I gave up using any beeswax coated hemp wick. plant wax, bees wax are slightly similar in composition and would have similar effects on the lungs, are lungs do not absorb them so they either build up or are expectorated out.

Get an herb iron or use a quartz wand heated with a torch. These are where the flavor's at..
