Hemp Wick Around a Lighter
A Hemp wick has a tremendous amount of advantages over butane lighters, and for any avid marijuana smoker it would be the best option to light your bowls. The wick is made from hemp fibers and is normally wrapped around a lighter so that it can be easily lit. Once lit you will begin to see the advantages of using a hemp wick immediately. First off, it gets rid of the risk of breathing in any butane or noxious gases from your lighter when you are lighting your bowl. Secondly, you have more control of the flame and can corner your bowl with a lot more precision. Since hemp is not a gas it does not combust at the high temperatures that butane burns at. This means when you are burning your bud it will be less harsh and you can take more intense hits of your bong or bowl without feeling as much strain on your lungs. If you are still using a lighter to light your bowls, then you have to give the wick a try. You will see an immediate improvement in your smoking experience.

I love hemp wick! I only Use The Humboldt Wick. Everything is so harsh. Weed Street Journal ROCKS!
One can find serious debate over hemp vs. butane flame and the real or perceived health advantages of hemp. Truth is combusting either is probably bad. A BIG however though for me is that using hemp flame tastes SO much better. I don’t see how this fact can be denied. If you don’t care about taste, then shifting from butane to wick ‘prolly isn’t a concern for you. I find that butane fouls the taste of high grade significantly. With wick, it tastes superb and almost complements the herb. Try it!
What if I use a Zippo lighter?
I like to dip my hemp wick in engine oil, for that extra tastyness…….
re:taste— not agree. daily stoner for 20 years. all hemp wicks taste awful to me. by contrast, there is almost zero taste from a properly-functioning high-quality (ie., BIC) butane lighter (not a butane torch!). i’ve compared BICs and hemp wicks many dozens of times. read about products of combusting butane. then look up the products of combusting a typical “hemp wick”. yeah, after learning about that, it’s not difficult to figure out why when using any “hemp wick”, you’re getting the hemp wick taste which will obscure the taste of any flower. of course, if you like taste of shitty hemp and wax mixed in with your flowers, be my guest.
ps perhaps quit smoking cigarettes and get your taste buds back
pps no Zippos pls.
!!!!!!! The question above was probably the most ignorant posts I have ever read… It explains the answer right above dude. I am not trying to be an Asshole or a Dick but its almost as obvious as getting a piece of paper and knowing where to write your name. You are probably a pretty cool kid, and that’s cool.. But besides all the bullshit, I will tell you this:
“Hemp Wick is probably the best way to smoke your Medicinal Flowers. Hemp Wick will bring the REAL TASTE out of your stuff. Do this for me, use a hemp wick one day and smoke with it for the day. The next day smoke with a butane lighter and you will see the difference in taste, harshness, and toxicity . ”
HEMP WICK ROCKS!
