People say butane is completely gone from lighters, but most people have bics which do not burn hot enough to burn away the butane.

Instead, light up some HEMP ROPE! =D

After a week of smoking with hemp rope, try using a normal lighter. Notice something? It tastes like SHIT. It will make you cough your lungs out too.


Spread the word so smokers can be more aware, but more importantly, more healthy about how they smoke.
 
Alright, but how on earth am I going to light my Hemp Rope if I stop using lighters ?




J/K I would follow your advice but I already smoke cigs. Id have to quit those first If I wanted to be more healthy.
 
Yeah, the amount of butane is relatively harmless compared to whatever you're smoking.

Also, living in the states, hemp is imported. Fossil fuels are burnt regardless.

Butttt I do agree hemp rope tastes a ton better! I just can never hold onto it for longer than a week.
 
Imported hemp?

No no....I got a hookup man.

Very thin hemp rope, waxed with HAPPY bee honey(not man made). Comes from this lady who makes it herself.
 
I think for most people, especially lazy stoners(like myself) the idea of shopping online for this rope then waiting for it in the post, which could take days/weeks depending on where you live would more then likely "cant be fucked" when they can pick up a lighter from a general store on the same day, and in most cases within 5 mins of thinking "hmm, I need a lighter to smoke up!"

Im sure some people would be intrested, IMO though I wouldnt bother because in the end as long as im getting high that's what im aiming for, not for a better taste, though like I said, some people probabaly would buy them over lighters.

What does that even mean. Lol thats got to make the least sense out of everything ive heard all day. Butane burns at the temperature at which it is converted to water and carbon dioxide that is what is going on when you burn it, oxidation. When burned with enough oxygen there is no other gases other then water and carbon dioxide (carbon monoxide would constitute a tiny part) And im pretty sure the physics of the flame would pull all the gas in, up and out through the fire so it would mostly be converted, since its chemistry odds are 100% doesnt but the 0.01% is negligible.

Why are you telling people to burn countless organic compounds then inhale the possibly toxic smoke from them? What do you have against clean burning fuel?

Stop it with this crap about butane. It makes no sense chemically.

they sell this shit a my local headshop. yours too probably
 
ive been using lighters on my puff for 7 years and im fine.
Szuko and Wise said it.


no, i will not stop using lighters, OP.
not until you provide well set-out hard scientific data on why we shouldnt be using them.

...well?
 
I found this but it's for a Vapor Genie brand vape and about flint dust that's supposedly not good for you.

When I was first looking at getting a vape I was told about the VG vape and I went to the site and they said how using a lighter was supposedly unhealthy but then they told you to buy a more expensive torch lighter that they were selling.

The link to the pubmed article on that topic didn't work for me.

I don't use a lighter because I only vaporize when I rarely use cannabis. I figure that the pot smoke or tobacco smoke if you smoke that are worse for you than using a lighter.

^^ Vaping all the way!!
Just got my aromed on christmas and im a bonafide converted vaporator.
Talk about extending the taste and experience of each bowl. This thing has me coughing harder than smoking. Took it over to the boys house last night and had everyone coughing! To think I used to like to burn my dope away, man was I wrong. Each day im loving this thing more and more!
Fuck combustion!!

tru dat, butane burns clean; no witchcraft.

the only people i tell to go smoke a rope are the people i don't like!
 
I just use matches I get from gas stations. Bics do taste like shit, make the weed black, and make me cough up black shit over time.

Nothin' like the super clean taste with a match. People will say you're crazy, but once you get 'em to try it they're like OH SHIT that tastes good.

And pot smoke aint bad for you.

I agree! Smoke shops need to start stocking this stuff.
 
Honestly if you think butane doesn't effect your smoking...then you haven't used enough rope to notice the difference..

Seriously use rope for a long period of time and you WILL notice a BIG difference. I think the reason is so many people use bics already they are used to weed tasting and being that harsh when it doesn't have to.

It wasn't until I used it for a while and then went back to lighters did I notice it, and man it fucking hurts my throat...I refuse to smoke like that anymore.

Not saying your gonna get lung cancer or anything but it makes smoking more enjoyable as I rarely cough now and can hold in hits longer. Also even to the last hit tastes GREAT because I'm not directly lighting with the fuel.
 
No butane burns clean and what you are using is a lot of burning organic matter. Im not going to listen to someone without science to back himself up. This is the internet after all. Your idea is stupid and wasteful.

I'm trying to be nice about this but you guys keep suggesting that burning more organic matter is better. How is adding more burning stuff better for you, when one burning thing already causes cancer?
 
There is no fucking science it's personal preference and anyone would notice it if they haven't been using bics for months.

I don't give a shit if the butane is still there or not, I CAN TASTE IT. I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT!!!!

If you want your bud to always taste better, this is the way to go. I'm not preaching science i'm letting smokers know the alternative to your bowls tasting like ass all the time. You may not think it tastes bad, at first I didn't because my first time smoking involved a lighter. But now the difference is clear and I can't go back

So you admit then that your idea is unfounded, probably costs more per light then a lighter, and will dramatically change the chemical make up of the smoke possibly causing cancer. All this because you think you can taste butane.

Honestly I can tell you haven't used GOOD hemp rope before. There is shitty hemp rope out there that is being sold. It tastes harsh. I don't buy that crap and base my assumptions of that though.

It does cost more but at the same time saves lighter fuel because you use less of your lighter.

I can see though that a lot of smokers don't give two shits about their health so never mind me trying 8)

Also I laugh at you thinking cancer would come more so from hemp(coming from the actual plant) as apposed to packaged plastic butane filled products that are man made and probably emit plastic particles and shit into the ozone.
