yeah. use a glass magnifying glass if possible cause they work better, though heavier. try the solar bong. its nice. i had a mini bong in the shape of a bottle, dr. puffer RIP, and it hit amazingly. pretty much solar is just the extreme heating of the air around the green, so it essentially has no combustion fuel, leaving only taste of da herb. And they hit easier when they have a layer of black on them, the black charredness absorbs the heat, thus lighting the bowls easier. and if you can get proper temperature control with the magnifying glass, good luck, you can actually vaporize the weed. the burning temperature is lower anyways so you already conserve in that respect compared to a standard lighting apparatus.

solar bowling in the morning is a top notch way to start the day.
