Hemp Wick Vs Soldering Iron (Hakko)

  1. so whats your opinion on hemp wick and soldering irons. i just ordered a roll of hemp wick and im wondering if i should continue buying hemp or get a ceramic tip soldering iron.
     
    i know many people would just recommend the HERB IRON but i really dont want to spend that kind of money when i can get the same tool for cheaper, also i would buy a stand for the iron so its not just sitting out (because safety first ;))

     
  2. Totally up to you man. I like the idea of hempwick better then a soldering iron personally. Feel like I would accidently burn myself a few times with the iron

    Hempwick is nicer than a lighter I like it but it gets annoying when it goes out randomly.

  5. go with the embur or something cordless,  the cord on the herb iron is a pain in the ass.  the herb iron doesn't weigh anything so too much cord hanging off the table will pull the still hot herb iron down all the fucking time, irritating as shit imo
     
  6. I would stick with hemp wick.  It's cheap and eliminates the nasty butane.  The Herb Iron seems expensive for what it does.  I use a cheap glass wand and torch...but it's annoying because it takes a while to heat up. 
     
  7. hemp wick! I have never been a fan of the soldering iron approach.  I like glass wands but its weird using all the butane in the torch to heat it up just for your rip. If you want a lower temperature (someone told me thats why they use an iron device) you could use a thinner hemp wick lighter like humboldts fine flame hempwick.
     
  8. Herb iron all day hombre. That thing is god and the tip cools quickly. Safer than the hakko also
     
  9. Hemp wicks are garbage. Go with the iron.
