actually, butane only burns cleanly if it is properly mixed with air PRIOR to combustion. this is why torch lighters burn with a small blue flame, compared to a bic which has the "candle-like" yellow flame.
YELLOW FLAMES ARE UNCLEAN BURNING. thus your HEMP ROPE is ALSO UNCLEAN BURNING!
most people i see will SHOVE their bic flame into the pipe, resulting in MASSIVE amounts of soot condensing directly on top of their weed.
the proper BIC technique is:
1. first ensure your weed is properly ground. if you have sticky icky, it will need to be finer ground, as it is more difficult to light than dusty cured stuff.
2. ignite the bic FAR AWAY from the pipe! you do not want to inhale excessive flint dust!
3. once the bic flame is steady, bring the TIP of the flame near your pipe. NEAR!!
4. begin inhaling while the flame is still NOT TOUCHING your weed. this takes PATIENCE~
5. heated air passing AROUND the bic flame will be drawn towards the pipe. you should notice one corner of the bowl begin to TOAST like it is being VAPORIZED
6. continue drawing HEATED AIR (not FLAME~!) into the pipe, and your TOASTED weed will begin to CHERRY
7. release the bic and enjoy your perfectly CHERRIED bowl with no sooty butane flavor!
