I'm over tasting the butane in my smoke. I've heard of a wand that you plug into the wall outlet and it heats up so that you just touch the herb and it burns without the smell. Has anyone used these? Are there any portable ones? Thanks.

soldering irons are what you speak of, pretty much anyways, because you plug it into the wall and it gets hot as well. But the heat wands that are made of glass are cool too, you just heat the end with a blowtorch or something, and then you light your bowl, its a rather simple process.

I use matches with joints to avoid the butane sometimes. But I mean they probably give off something of their own themselves.

Stay high

The best tasting "smoke" is in a vaporizer. Even a lightbulb vape taste superb if you clean out the bulb really well first. Just break away all the resin/glue stuff on the end first too.

If taste is what I'm going for, then either a joint or a lightbulb vape is the best. I don't like the taste of pipes as much... even water pipes to be honest. Maybe it is because of the butane... I don't know.

I think the bad taste in water pipes is def from butane, when i used a wand this morning at my friends the product tasted so much better! I am still looking for better alternatives though... Thanks for the feedback.

when lighting a good cigar, most will either use matches or the spanish cedar that comes around some of them as a light. Some butane on the market are better then others. Go to a NICE cigar shop and check them out.

So my boy told me about something called beeline. He says hes heard its cool but I don't know anyone who's tried it. Have any of you guys tried it? I checked out the website and it looks legit but i'm not sure if i want to try t cause i need to buy a box. Its like $26 so i don't know. Have any of you tried beeline?

that beeline looks very interesting. i cant stand butane. lately i have been just getting wooden matches, lighting the opposite end you strike it with, with a lighter, and using that flame to light bowls. you get a slight woody taste but it is better than butane imo.

and a magnifying glass. It's like peas and carrots. :thumbsup: Taste's great, nutritious(not evaluated by FDA), and I guess you could get all spiritual about it too with the whole sun, purity, nature combo. Reminds me to wake up early and get those first beams. :jointsmile:

matches :thumbsup: ... since discovering that sulfur is the body's building block for cartilage production, I don't mind the slight whiff of sulfur ... don't have any idea if that makes medical sense, but what the hell does my Doctor know, anyway ? (BMW-drivin', golfclub swingin', trophy girlfriend, pill-pushin', Yuppie asshole :D) ...

Hey everyone, I've been using the beeline for weeks now. At first it seems strange to use, but it becomes effortless after a little practice. After a week or two all of my friends started to not want to smoke without it. It just makes the smoke taste so much better and more like the product. Its hard for me to use a lighter now, well... not hard, but I do notice that its so much more enjoyable to smoke with beeline. I think the easiest way to use the beeline is to take it off its packaging and then I wrap it around my lighter and it is always right there when you need it. Its def worth a try, but you can't just buy 1 or 2 from the website so get a group of friends to go in on it or ask your local shop to carry it. It is really cheap. 2-4 weeks off beeline costs less than $1. Unless you are a heavy smoker,...... like myself than the beeline lasts about a week. Well worth it. Just my two cents. If anyone wants more tips on using it ive got plenty, just ask.

I think this is the wand you heard about:
Phedor vaporizer (http://www.phedor.com/)

My buddy down the street has the ceramic wand. I dont think they even own lighters any more lol. It looks like it works really well though. The tip gets red hot and burns a bowl quite quickly. Almost as fast as a lighter.

haha, ill have to try the magnifying glass one day, just to mess with my friends, and i can light the bowl for them.

it seems like a nice way to pick up the womens if it starts to burn quick enough, or just as a way to impress them overall.

and i would imagine that would give the best tasting burn of them all.
