After I light my bowl I turn off the lighter and use the metal to smother the burning herb because I toke over the course of a few hours. Is it normal for sparks to appear at the top of burning herb or smothered herb with the metal part of the lighter within 1 cm of it?
If you're using the metal part to tap it out, then there's a good chance flint is falling into your herb. That would make it spark the next time you light it.
Oh ok I guess that explains the sparking when the herb is lit but not for after I tap it out but there could always be a little ember left in there. Should I be worried about flint falling in my bowl?
