changing screens on bowls

    how often do you change your metal screen on bowls?

    i have a socket bowl now and my screen is all burnt and charred, but i still keep it.
    how long do you wait ( how many weeks, sessions, etc) to change the screen?

    mine is so burnt and shitty, but every once in a while i pick at it with a toothpick and get some resin out.

    whats your views?:smoke:

    I bought 3 pack of 100 steel screens for around $4 each pack on amazon so I change it every 3 bowls.

    I use a glass screen on most my bowls.. but a metal screen just clean it when it looks like it needs it, hold it with something like tweezers and lay the lighter to it.

    I just use glass now. However, I used to use metal, and after every use here's what I did:

    i) clear the ash out of the bowl
    ii) take the screen out
    iii) blow HARD on it (while maintaining a good hold) to get ash out of it
    iv) wash it off inside
    v) ready for next use

    With this method, I can use the same screen for quite a while until it burns through.

    Meh on my bowl with a big hole i have to use a screen, but i leave it for like a month until i literally can't inhale through it, its so fiddly! I much prefer not using a screen though.

    This.

    I don't smoke that often, so I just change every bowl.

    I change it once it's clogged up from all the shit sitting on it, which takes at least a little while to build up, but I don't smoke all that often mostly vaporize, the vaporizer screen lasts forever cause I just clean it with alcohol when it clogs

    I usually don't use screens, but I would use a different screen each time I used my old bong or an apple pipe or whatever. I think they can be used multiple times but I just stick to 1 time for each screen, eh maybe two.
