Metal Screen Or No Metal Screen

Discussion in 'Smoking Accessories Q&A' started by Grendelking, Sep 11, 2014.

  1. All my years of smoking and I've never owned a glass piece. I'm so used to using wood and metal pipes with screens in the bowls. Now I need some advice from some experts. This is a glass elephant pipe. Would you use a metal screen or just smoke it as is ?

  2. You can smoke it as is, but if you suck too hard, you will get scoobies. I use a metal screen myself. YMMV
     
  3. I use no screen as a matter of fact I've seen one person I've smoked with use one in a glass pipe. Once it gets resinous you won't suck anything through, so no screen

  4. It depends on the piece to me. My last one was fine without it. But I had a friend who had one and it had the absolute worst pull through you could ever imagine. I actually despised smoking from it, until I got them a screen. It made all the difference.

  5. I'd smoke it no screen, but just be gentle when you hit it. Whenever my pipe is nearly cashed, I just hit it really slow and gently, and the ash just kinda falls down and doesn't go anywhere
     
  6. Try it both ways. If you find that the resin doesn't take care of stuff falling into the hole, get a  screen. I have some glass that I do use a screen with and some that don't need one.  When it looks like it's mostly ashes, I just blow out and pop out the junk left over.

    Cool. Thanks for the advice everyone.     :gc_rocks:
     
  8. I've found that a glass screen is tons better than a metal one. For one you don't have to replace the screen unless it breaks, and it doesn't get that off taste that metal screens will have after a while if you don't change them out
     
  9. Metal screens def. for dry pipes. Either or for bongs. I personally use them in bongs. You gotta remember to clean the screen every couple of bowls or the resin will clog it up. The one guy who said he couldn't get a good pull must've had a dirty screen. Pro tip: safety pins are the best thing i've found to clean them with. You just scrape it across and it's good as new. 
     
  10. I mainly use them in bongs, otherwise after two hits you end up with half the bowl floating in the water haha. But you could just put a little clump of weed to block the hole. And I've used screens for my glass bowl to ensure I don't get scoobies, but I don't use them anymore.
     
  11. I use glass screens. They're shaped like a jack and sit right in the hole of the pack. They never get clogged or nasty. Perfect I def recommend one. Lhs should have some for like $2

    Fuck screens if shit is sucking through into your mouth you bought the wrong piece.
    But at least get a glass screen or don't grind your bud up as much
