Do you ever think about how you’ve lit up your cannabis? This may be strange, but while some people like hemp paper and hemp trays for rolling, there is another cool thing that you can do. Instead of butane, you just use a hemp wick, to light the bowls and blunts.
The types
Before we talk about how to use it, there are different types. We have ones that are made from fibers that are natural, and then has a coating of beeswax on top. This helps burn the candle in a gentle, even manner, creating an effect similar to a candle. There are hemp balls, which are basically candles in the shape of a big ball, so users can unravel this to us to burn the produce.
There are cylinders, which are basically what most people are used to. You just take the wick out and slowly pull this. You have the standard ones. This is something that also comes in a thin form, which means that it’s a flame that’s smaller, but this burns a lot faster, and it’s a little more accurate compared to what’s put on the joint and blunt ends.
You’ve also got the thick kind, which basically makes a flame that’s larger, is a bit heavier in your hand, and also will ignite bowls that are large quickly, and it works well on cones that are thick. Finally, we have lighter sleeves, which basically are small hemp reels that wick near the basic. They create a shell where the Bic lighters put themselves, and then, it wicks next to the outlet, and basically, you can use this with one hand, which is kind of convenient too.
How to use this
You’ve been curious probably about how to use it. Wouldn’t it be easier to just light it with a match or lighter? This is basically something that people assume is just another step. Whether you use the flame from a lighter, you’re taking in combusted smoke and butane, other chemicals, and this can harm your heart, lungs, and the brain, and it also does detract the terpene taste too. Matches also have glue and other parts.
This contains beeswax and hemp, and basically, this is just getting rid of the chemicals that are there. To use it, it just involves four simple steps . First, you may need to unwrap the wick, which is usually in a cylinder or balls. Take a large part of this to move this in one place. You want to make sure as well, that this doesn’t get hit by the wind.
Light up one end of this. This is different because if it’s burnt for a bit, the butane is then gone. From there, you can then add this to bowls and joints. Since this is coated in beeswax, it’s rigid, so it won’t sag a little bit. You can move the flame of this to the bowl top or the joint top, and then, do it the same way you would with matches or a lighter. You can also keep the wick on and burning if you’re using a pipe between each hit.
Once you’ve got the joint burning or the bowl is empty, you don’t want to waste this, and you basically extinguish all of this simple by squeezing it between your fingers or through blowing this out with your mouth. You want to make sure that it’s fully cooled before you wrap this up and then put it away again.
And there you have it, a hemp wick and the uses of this, and why it’s great for cannabis consumers!
