Using "Hemp Wick" Do or Dont

[SkunkyDemon]

I have use recieved a sample of some hemp wick and I was very inpressed with the flavor. We noticed right away when we went back to the lighter. I dont know much about it other then the sample I recieved. Thanks all for your imput!
Peace

Not a fan at all.

The flame is huge and it burns really fast (at least the smaller size Beeline). Really hard to put out (say if you're used to the kind of motion that is used to put out a safety match). Then you're standing there with the bong in one hand and a hafl-empty bowl and the BURNING wick in the other hand. Can't even blow out the flame because you'll lose the hit!

Also it smells like candles and CLEARLY ADDS TASTE. Certainly much more than a good butane lighter. People who say it doesn't are crazy. Same thing with RAW papers, people say "they add no taste" but to me it tastes like I'm smoking some kinda cigar? People will just believe any kinda marketing instead of their senses? Or maybe I'm just crazy. Maybe both.

But if ya like 'em keep using them or whatever. After all it does "work", the weed does burn. I use RAW papers too despite their taste because it lets me easily differentiate between two kinds of pre-rolled joints in my cigarette case.

Open flame never touches my bud unless I'm lighting a joint.

Hemp and butane both taste like shit.

The funny thing is I received a sample and a friend and I tried it out. After it ran out my friend was the first it use the lighter and he was like YUCK and I said "What?" He just handed me the pipe and I took a rip and sure as hell you could taste the lighter (its a Bic not some cheap crap). Im not sure of any health issues, but it did taste different. Im going to order a 250' roll ( $15 with shipping) and Ill post my results. I did notic that when I awoke this morning that my throught(how ever you spell it lol) wasnt sore. Thanks all for your imput.
Have a safe and Happy Holidays All!

been smoking on the hemp wick for a few months now.....

LOVE IT!!!!

 

[purple_man]

it's a turbo flame for me all day, every day (filled with vector butane). as for "normal" lighters, i don't think they reach a high enuff temperature to combust all of the butane, plus most regular lighters (even bics) are not filled with "quality" butane.
had some samples of the beeline thing, but didn't like it, cause it was burning to fast...

blessss

GS loves his Beeline. Peace GS

 

[d4nk]

hate it. adds flavor and is worse for you than this so called "unburned" butane.

 

[big twinn]

love it...went through 40ish samples and a 250" roll i won...a years worth of hemp wick. Much better taste than a butane lighter...this thread makes me wanna go buy some now ha. Reminding me much worse the light taste...but yes, it does add flavor to the smoke...not a lot, but i think it compliments the smoke, especially compared to a lighter. I tried a cheap soldering iron once to use, but it just doesn't hit like when combustion is used.

toothpick?
Shakes out easily like a match
course you'll taste ANY flaming organic matter a bit, just your choice of the "organic" being butane, wood, or hemp.

Nothing beats a solar hit for hippie stoner purity.

You are using this with your vape? I assume so since you posted you would never use a bong again. Just yanking your chain brother.

Thanks all for you imput. I ended up buying a 250' roll from I-Tal Hemo Wick for $30. After checkinh around , I found much better prices. I like the NON butane hits. Im not sure if the difference in price has to do with the quality of the product. If anyone has tries any other the I-Tal Hemp Wick. I found this one was thick, you can straighten (how ever you spell it) and its like using a twig. All my friends love it . I give them a chunk and wrap it around thier lighter. Thanks for all your imput guys!
Peace

havent tried it yet.i doubt its cleaner than a quality lighter filled with good butane.

It's MUCH cleaner then any lighter. Tried a couple refillable butane lighters.......with Colibri fluid, and multiple Bics. Any hemp wick tastes better and is noticeably smoother.



EVEN better then wick is a ceramic soldering iron. Hakko makes several very nice models. Absolutely no taste. Ultimate "clean" smoking heating element.........IMO.

 

[schwilly]

Word brother.

Love my hakko. I even travel with it.

Well I just received my 250' roll from I-TAL. They also threw in 6 free samples to give away or keep. So far everyone that Iv burnt with has liked it. I just dont know what the health effects might be.
Peace

 

[billy_big_bud!]

just a heads up. i go to my local craft store and buy unbleached hemp string designed for braclet making. 50' for $2. when i first checked it out i lit a piece on fire and inhaled just the smoke from the string. tastes like ....nothing. good shit. butane definatly changes the taste.

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

 

[spring fed]

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

 

[guest8905]

not a fan of the taste, just ordered a vape so im quitting combustion except for now and again, preferably with a solar hit.
