as long as your smoking a perc i dont think it really makes a difference but if your smoking anything else like distillate or delta 8 then yeah id rather be using hemp wick with a perc than just inhaling butane
It's 100% better for the environment…I see you cut it off at IQ of 2, lets take that up a notch and maybe light a candle once with a lighter and then use the hempwick? Or go electric and charge from a solar camping battery by a window (and overcome the embedded energy of PV production in no time by avoiding never-ending butane refinement) Kids, never listen to anyone who unironically values the flavor of their weed lmao
You have been using hemp wick incorrectly, Cewpins.
1) Time it takes to light the hemp wick I think you're wrong about initially lighting the hempwick, which for me happens in almost 1 second flat. I pop the lighter, and the wick is lit. It's very simple. I use a device like 'HempLites'
2) Grind to the proper consistency to make using a hemp wick OR lighter more efficient Try using a grinder like a Mendo Mulcher, and applying a few extra rotations than you may be used to in order to get the proper consistency – you'll see. This will ensure an easier and even burn. The bowl practically lights itself if the weed is properly ground.
3) Time you should keep the hemp wick lit on top of the bowl Some brands of hemp wick even tell you in the instructions not to burn the wick for longer than 5 seconds. This is because the goal is to light the bowl as quickly as possible and then remove the wick. This is to get maximum flavor and least carcinogen intake. When you're using a lighter, the goal is also the same. You want to light the bowl as quickly as possible, and then remove the lighter just as quickly. You don't want to hold the lighter OR wick on top of the bowl for a prolonged period of time as this increases carcinogen intake and reduces flavor.
4) Lighting the weed in the bowl with hemp wick vs. lighter Using a standard lighter always takes longer for me – you need to hold it on the bowl too long (and this makes it taste like shit), unlike a hemp wick. This could be due to Bic lighters being like a lesser version of a Zippo in that excess gas/chemicals shoot out and/or produce a lower quality flame. A hemp wick will light a properly ground bowl in a few seconds. Torches can be decent, but you risk burning too much of the bowl too fast, in my opinion. You can also get the same effect you describe in the video (lighting the top or a portion of the bowl and allowing the cherry to light the rest of the bowl as you're hitting it) with a hemp wick.
5) Dust particles on the wick is a non-issue Especially if it's properly stored. Further, as you manipulate the wick with your hands, you're likely rubbing away this dust. Have you sat under a sunbeam, lately? There's dust particles floating everywhere.
6) Finally, TASTE I can taste the difference between using a lighter or hemp wick. I never use a lighter to light my bowls. I prefer to use my 'HempLite' tool – my fav. I prefer to use hemp wick to light my cigarettes, as well. It makes me sick just watching people do the typical noob "holds lighter upside down on top bowl while pressing gas button for entire duration of hitting it"
I liked the video, but I'm pretty amazed at how you trash hempwick. I'm totally blown away by this.
Butane Taste? Nah, Butane side effects though, that's concerning. Check that shit out.Hitting bongs with Butane, you're surely inhaling butane and you get addicted to Butane. Check the side effects of Butane it's fucking disgusting.
I'm not saying Hemp wick is better, you're still inhaling some toxic shit which will probably fuck you up.
Honestly great take, and thats true butane is known to be tasteless and odorless. For the environment part people can always get a refillable torch or lighter or if u want be fancy ig u can get a box of matchsticks lol.
the "butane taste" thing is bs. butane is the fuel which gets broken down while you're burning it, releasing energy. it's like saying the exhaust on a car releases petrol/gas vapor, or the black smoke from chimeneys is made out of coal
Ur wrong because the temperature of the weed isn't consistently as hot as "on fire", it starts hot, then tapers off to room temp between 500+ all the way down with distance to the room. So you are vaporizing it when you do it, and it's probably more efficient with a wick
I literally just bought some hemp wick and then watched this video. Now I don't want to try it. But I did just try it and it tastes like I lit my bow with a joint lol. Then I smelled the smoke from the wick. Yeah I'm probably not using this stuff anymore.
your opinion is ok but to tell others to follow your advice isnt. U suppose to use it with a candle of same kind not with a lighter and as a 30 years smoker i can tell u my opinion joints do taste better. Now if i want clear taste yes i put it to my volcano.
I feelssssss thiss but i do taste the weed alot better and maybe cuz i have my card but it does taste alottt better when im lighting so dunno maybe its just personal preference? You've used it im pretty either way you've felt or tasted the difference at one point you've told people it for a reason… Like idkkk
I honestly can only think of one legitimate reason why someone would actually use hemp wick. And that is because hemp wick allows you to control the flame a lot better. And if you have a 6-inch bubbler that holds .5 of a gram or more like I do and you don't want to torch the whole bowl and then have to relight it and get a nasty ash taste. Then you're only option is to corner the bowl and light the bowl in sections at a time going back until it's all burnt through. And trying to do that with a regular Bic lighter is a pain in the neck whereas doing it with a hemp wick is easy but that's the only legitimate reason I can think of for using hemp wick.
Who uses Hemp Wick? Why?

Butane 100% has a flavour and it most definitely means for a less tasty bowl

Hard agree
Thank u bro I was literally about to waste my money on hemp wick
Arc lighters seem to be the best option, just don't own dogs.
Butane Taste? Nah, Butane side effects though, that's concerning. Check that shit out.Hitting bongs with Butane, you're surely inhaling butane and you get addicted to Butane. Check the side effects of Butane it's fucking disgusting.

Cyanide is also all natural and organic, you don't want it anywhere near you…..
Up with hope. Down with string terps
Honestly great take, and thats true butane is known to be tasteless and odorless. For the environment part people can always get a refillable torch or lighter or if u want be fancy ig u can get a box of matchsticks lol.
For once I agree with you 💯
Damn I'm just learning this shit now
I use it just so i dont burn myself lol. I personally dont notice a difference between taste but everyones different
Damn my man… I am that person… I need to 🛑 😂
Hemp wick reminds me of matchlock rifles 😂😂
Cewpins wrong in this one
My thumbs end up hurting from the flint-button process, so I find using a plasma lighter and hempwick to be much more comfortable.
Clearly your taste buds are all fuked up…
You CAN taste the nasty butane test.
i just took a hit right now lol.
the "butane taste" thing is bs. butane is the fuel which gets broken down while you're burning it, releasing energy. it's like saying the exhaust on a car releases petrol/gas vapor, or the black smoke from chimeneys is made out of coal
His ignorance is ASTOUNDING 😂
I use it because it controls the flame better,
i love hemp wick
Ur wrong because the temperature of the weed isn't consistently as hot as "on fire", it starts hot, then tapers off to room temp between 500+ all the way down with distance to the room. So you are vaporizing it when you do it, and it's probably more efficient with a wick
thats why I use my kitchen stove to light my bowls
Came here for some bushcraft tips and got an education in smoking weed
Yummy dust terps
I taste the butane. I hate it. Wick all the way
yes I would much rather lighter fluid through my body
I literally just bought some hemp wick and then watched this video. Now I don't want to try it. But I did just try it and it tastes like I lit my bow with a joint lol. Then I smelled the smoke from the wick. Yeah I'm probably not using this stuff anymore.
This stuff is dumb – nothing better than some dude trying to pass you a nasty bowl, a string, and matches so you can fire it up at a concert.
Finally someone with the same mind. I always thought it was bad to inhale the string because as its burning you’re for sure inhaling that.
your opinion is ok but to tell others to follow your advice isnt. U suppose to use it with a candle of same kind not with a lighter and as a 30 years smoker i can tell u my opinion joints do taste better. Now if i want clear taste yes i put it to my volcano.

Honestly I use hemp wick from time to time, but it’s because I have chronic pain in my hands, but besides that it’s a waste of money
PLUS you are now BURNING wax and inhaling it too.. wax smoke is bad for your breathing
I see what you did with the video length 😏
