Ignition of cannabis

Who else prefers to ignite their cannabis without sucking down the butane from a BIC. I’ve been using hemp wick for many years now, but was given an electric lighter the other day. Seems like it should be a healthy way to create a flame. Maybe when the anode and cathode arc it causes some harmful byproduct. I never heard anything while welding, and you’d think that would be more enveloping. I need to research this.

Here’s my 2 main ignition sources. And that wick makes my lighter last forever.


Im thinking I’ll wrap some wick around this electric lighter and have the best of both worlds. This one is a bit larger than pocket sized though. I’ll have to try one of these out instead. 100% Waterproof Windproof Lighter, Wind Resistant Survival Fire Starter, Rechargeable USB Plasma Lighter, Outdoors Emergency Fire Starter – Point Below

Other than the occasional lighting the end of some kindling in the fireplace, that’s how I avoid sucking in butane. I’ve seen those pipes with a magnifying lens on them. Lol. That would be a trial. And you NEED the sun.

Okay. Opinions?

lol that has to be the coolest overkill for a pipe ive seen.

i dont smoke/ignite or suck from a bic pen. i vape dry herb/flower in a dynavap :slight_smile:

but tasing my weed sounds interesting.

Awesome topic. No butane lighter is not only healthier in my opinion, but it also lets the flavor of the herb really shine! Kind of like how high end cigars are sold with thin cedar strips to light them, or how a real connoisseur will let the sulphur end of the match burn and get down to the wood to light their cigar, among other fanciful technique.

I’m a fan of the herb iron style ceramic heating rod when smoking weed. Would love to know others opinion on how healthy the herb irons are, I really don’t know much more than what they’re advertised as.

The beeline style approach is cool but I never really seemed to stick with it other than here or there. Much love

A fun alternative when you’re outside on a sunny day.

We totally sold pipes at the headshop I worked for that had a lens mounted over the bowl. Never tried one, but I keep a fresnel lens in my wallet for in a pinch on a sunny day.

That’s a sweet setup @Heritagefarms . I’m gonna check those out. :+1:

@Rhino_buddy I’ve been using this for several years with butane as the heat source. That electric lighter looks awesome! Good fucking bye butane! Happy1

Hahah great point. I’ve been meaning to test out it’s “stunning” ability. It looked like it would cause a good twinge. I used to love shocking my sister with those electric lighter igniters.
