[Enjoitre]

glass or metal screens is there an advantage to one over the other im currently looking into an ashcatcher for my bong but till i save up enough for the right one i want to get screens so which is it? thanks

if we're talking bongs, it seems a lot of bongs are glass already. might as well go with the glass screen. not sure i see the difference though, all said and done.

If you've got a glass bong then I would say go with glass, I tried a metal on glass and didn't go over to well.

I've actually never used a glass screen but the metal ones are such a pain in the ass to get out after they've been used for a while.

GLASS!!

I used metal back at the start of my toking career. they're okay, but they'll get clogged up pretty fast if you smoke with any regularity. Which sucks feeling like you're going to collapse a lung trying to inhale lol.

As long as you don't lose the glass screens they last nearly forever. You still have to clean them out once and a while, but it's ridiculously easy compared to trying to clean the metal (if you even bother) and you'll almost never have an airflow problem with one

I personally just throw the glass screens on the table/in the ashtray after a sesh to knock of the excess ash. Then every once and awhile clean it off with a knife of something to cut out some of the caked on res, lol.

They both do the job, but the more permanent reusable nature of glass is definitely a plus.

If your going to a screen no matter what kind of pipe it is you gotta get glass. Metal screens are bullshit, makes the weed not taste as great also with a metal screen it takes longer to color up your pipe.

Glass is nice, but I don't kno if anybody actually experienced it. Ya know when yo'ure high, and you're emptying out a bowl? Soo many times my friends or I would forget there's a screen there and tap the ash along with the screen away.

Not that either of em are expensive, just that there's a strong chance that you'll throw away your glass screen and if you're like me who likes to reuse things, chances the glass screen will get lost quick

really depends on circumstances my friend. I use both interchangeably the glass can be a bit of a pain cause losing it is a risk.
the metals as was already mentioned have a bit of a taste to them as well as needing to be cleaned or replaced fairly regularly. Keep in mind that some pieces have a hole in them that's too big for a glass to even work

Glass all the way. Sometimes brass screens leave a slightly metallic taste. Tbh you don't need a screen to smoke though, just plug it up with a nug and happy toking

I just recently bought a few glass screens and I have found they have been clogging with resin and causing an airflow issue affter just two or three bowls. I'm really not a fan of the taste of metal screens so i now just go screenless, snap the bowls, and clean my bong regularly.

I also find that when you snap the bowl it seems to take much less herb to get some nice milk in that chamber.

For my herb glass screen preferably jacks
For my concentrates Stainless steel screens with the finest mesh.

probably because you are getting the most out of your weed because of the screen
