I’ve been trying to be a little more responsible with plastics and reducing waste. I’ve been using hemp wick with a lighter case called a Hemplight which I’ve enjoyed. I used the BIC ones and then moved to Clipper so I could refill it.

I’m going to sound old, but I don’t remember Clippers having the hexagonal spark wheel. I’ve tried to stay on top of butane and flint, but they are so difficult to light after they’ve been used for a while, got to a point where I got a callous on my index finger trying to get that shit to light. Picked up a button ignition one, with a longer ignition (candle lighter like) and it’s a pain in the ass to use with the hemp wick, finger just slipped and sliced open on the plastic button 😐 trying to determine if the Jet Flame ones will fit the hemplight case.

All of this to say… how does the community light up your flower?

I primarily use a bong, I’d like to use the hemp wick still and it needs to be easy to put out.

Do you see any value in using hemp wick versus direct flame from butane?

Any suggestions and general discussion appreciated!

P.S. not an ad for Clipper or Hemplight, if anything I’m not recommending them. Also I know dry herb vaping is better for me, for some reason my body reacts badly to vaping. I’ve tried multiple vapes, always messes my mouth up unfortunately.

EDIT: ended up picking up a Zippo dual flame butane insert, going to use my old red Zippo case and once the hinge fails I’ll buy a new red matte Zippo and just have multiple inserts 🙄😑😐 I’ve wrapped hemp wick around my Zippo case and gonna try that for a while, anyone got any tips for using hemp wick wrapped Zippos, I’m all ears!
