I'd make the investment, it's a lot nicer not having to deal with the butane of constant lighter use, and it makes your bud taste a lot better. As for the flame, it's really just preference. I'd also get a candle, so you don't have to keep flicking a lighter to light it.
Buy some beeline, thank me later But in reality the taste is better, it's easier, and it's healthier than butane.
Yes. get the lighter jacket and just rewire that. I light literally everything I smoke with it(pipe, j's, cigars, etc). I almost feel lost without it haha. 100% worth it
It makes the whole bowl taste a lot better than when you use a lighter. You don't have that little added nasty butane, I would try it out worth it.
The difference isn't huge, but if you smoke using nothing but hempwick for like a week and then use a lighter you will notice that it doesnt taste as good. Thats what happened to me anyways I like using it, IMO it makes rips taste sweeter (maybe from the beeswax?) and really clean. Others may disagree with the sweetness or whatever, but it definitely tastes a bit better.
If your interested in taste/purity use a magnifying glass and the sun. Best tasting hit you'll ever have.
