If you're tasting butane, then you need to first try holding the lighter's flame further away from the bowl. You want some space between the end (or "tip") of the flame and the actual cannabis... so the hot "air" coming off the tip of the flame lights your cannabis, but the flame itself never touches it. That way you get all the heat of the flame, but you also are making sure all the butane is burnt up *before* the heat gets to your bowl. When you actually touch the flame to the cannabis in your bowl you are inhaling some un-burnt butane that is still in the flame.

At least we know what a butane lighter gives off when it burns (CO2 and water). We don't even know what this beeswax, paper, and hemp rope gives off when it burns. At least I couldn't find it on the website.
