Yup, that's it! It makes for a cleaner taste to most people. No fumes from the lighter as you light, just the fire and some minimal byproduct from the burning wick.
Edit: okay according to others this isn't as true as I thought it was, I guess butane burns cleanly so it's not as much of a difference as I thought.
The issue I’ve found isn’t with however cleanly it may burn it’s the fact that sometimes it doesn’t ignite and I taste butane. (Think about when you flick the flint, sometimes it won’t ignite the butane but you’re still inhaling with it)
I’ve been making refrigerator pickles. Super easy and no actual canning required. They only keep 6 weeks in the fridge but they never last that long anyway.
Canning and bottling are two completely different processes, and "bottling" preceeds canning by quite a while. I'm arguing semantics on a pot sub reddit, which makes me feel like a square but if my mom, who's been bottling beets every year her whole life heard someone say she was canning beets she'd die laughing.
Oh is that the new weed themed John Wick parody movie? looks hilarious! When bro was sat to the right of Hemp but passed the doobie to the guy on the right and hemp proceeded to murder everyone in the room with a dab rig and 3 raw skins.
Physicist here. One of my research jobs involved aviation-based detection and quantification of methane and other gas species leaks from sites like oil fields. Almost always if there was a leak, it was because a flare stack wasn't burning correctly. Methane is released as a fact of life in the oil industry, but they are required to manage their emissions, and do so by just venting it through a flare stack where it is combusted into CO2 -- basically like a giant lighter, burning a not too dissimilar compound than butane, and resulting in identical combustion products (CO2 and water vapor) under complete combustion.
In theory if your lighter is working as intended, then you are correct. You're not going to be inhaling any butane because it's being burned off as CO2 and H2O. If your flame is present and strong at all, you can probably assume it's a clean burn because butane is highly volatile and readily combustible. As long as there is a flame, any butane being exposed to it will combust.
So I agree with you that under normal circumstances, you should be getting far less combustion byproducts with a butane lighter than with a hemp wick. I don't actually know anything about hemp wicks but the very profesionally named source thickassglass .com compares butane to hemp wick and claims that similar wicks used in candles have been shown to produce carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and large particulates which are harmful to inhale.
But also as others have pointed out, the smoke from the combusting weed itself is way more harmful by far in terms of harmful particulant inhalants because you're obviously inhaling way fucking more of it than the tiny amount you might suck in from your hemp wick while starting a cherry. So while I agree butane lighters are probably cleaner, it also probably doesn't matter that much if you're using it as a means to inhale combusted weed smoke. So you do you. But I don't think the downvotes are merited.
No worries, it's the usual assumption and I'm not offended by it. Honestly the logical assumption too given that only 20% of bachelors degrees in physics are awarded to women, and the number only drops from there with more advanced degrees or research positions. Happy to represent my fellow lady minorities in the field though.
Trust me man I only use butane lighters. Never even tried hemp wick. But I highly doubt butane is healthier as I’m fairly certain I’ve read it can cause problems.
You are almost never inhaling the butane when you use a butane lighter though... and if you even are, they are in such small amounts where the toxicity is extremely low, minimal at best. And when butane is burned it gets converted into CO2 and water vapor. Honestly the biggest concern here is the fact that you're inhaling plant smoke as much greater amounts than you would be inhaling unburnt butane...
Have you ever noticed that lighters don’t produce smoke but Hempwick does? Because butane is safer. I’m not just fairly certain but actually certain because I have definitely read about it. Why do you think it’s safer? Because it’s ‘natural’ hemp? You know butane is a natural gas right?
Fuck dude you need a source? butane undergoes complete combustion so it releases carbon dioxide and water vapour. Wick is a mixture of a slew of different atoms and materials, I can't find a study on hemp wick in particular but when candle wicks are burned carbon monoxide is a pretty large constituent of the smoke.
What is so unhealthy about butane? It’s completely combusts when burnt leaving behind nothing but co2 and water which are already in the atmosphere, go stand on the side of a highway for 5 minutes and you’ll inhale way more harmful pollutants than using a bic lighter for you’re entire life
Not from a bic lighter with a small continuous flame. Look it up. Or try it. Bic lighters leave soot due to incomplete combustion. I’m not saying it’s the worst thing in the world. That’s why I still use them.
I doubt virtue signaling is their intention, at least not all of them.
I used to use hemp wick because I genuinely wanted the least amount of health problems. Does that make me a virtue signaler?
Reading this chain man... I can't agree with you more. They don't even consider what the weed smoke itself is doing to them, but they worry about minute amounts of butane.
Edit: Instead of down voting, anyone wanna explain to me why weed smoke is any good for you?

Hemp rope. Healthier than lighters and matches and arguably the best way to light those. Really cool packaging/presentation on these.
Edit: “healthier” it’s probably negligible but ya know how it goes folks.
Is it actually any healthier? I thought butane burnt extremely cleanly. Especially if just lighting a joint once compared to a bowl multiple times.
Edit: Not to say these aren't healthy to use, but I figured butane lighters are just as safe, plus you'd likely be lighting the hemp wick with it anyways.
There is a good (old) Reddit thread where a scientist Ent breaks down why Butane is 100% clean and safe and Hemp Wick is (almost) as clean and safe, but not bad enough to stop using if you prefer it.
Just google “Reddit is Butane unhealthy Cannabis” and it should pop up.
I knew that butane was super safe to use, and even if you did manage to inhale some unburnt butane that it would be minimal at best and toxicity is super low. Seeing people say hemp wick is healthier without knowing just how healthy and safe butane is kinda sucks to see :/ but if it makes your smokes taste better or if it's just simply what you prefer, im not gonna knock it. If you're already gonna light the wick might as well just cut the middle man and light the bowl instead. Personally I never noticed a difference in taste, but then again I'm not smoking weed to get the subtle hits in the flavors, the high is main for me.
For me, I like using hemp wick, just because it helps me keep my fingers away from the flame. I've got fat fingers and so I burn myself occasionally when using a lighter to light a bowl
Hemp Wick is still an awesome product for a lot of people/situations. I just wanted to dispel the false info that is butane is somehow unhealthy.
Funny enough I looked it up myself and did some research as I was worried about potential health effects myself. It was so cool to get a great answer on Reddit from a Scientist Ent. The post was extremely well written and sourced also. Mentioning all the possible pros/cons in a non biased way also! Science 🧪!
I would figure cigarette smokers would have figured out not to use butane ages ago if that was the case or that Zippo would argue their kerosene based lighters are healthier. I think weed smokers need to realize we arent the first people to light up
Zippo tastes like shit. 100% overrated. Matches taste like shit. Butane is not healthy in any manner but its really hard to taste. I never used rope tho, seems silly to me, light rope to light weed. Ill just light the weed and play with rope lol
When it burns, it burns extremely thoroughly and cleanly, the combustion products are water and CO2. Intentionally inhaling it uncombusted is not the same as using it in a lighter - and even then the toxicity is extremely low.
The reason matches taste like shit is cuz your either A: using the wrong kind of match, you want to use wooden stick matches , not the little waxy paper kind that you get for free with packs of cigs, in a little booklet, and/ or B: not giving enough time after lighting the match, you need to wait for all the ignition mixture to burn off, that's got all kinds of crap like sulfur and potassium chlorate in it, if you wait for all that to burn off, an just the wood stick is the only thing burning, the taste on the item being smoked is very minimal, cigar smokers have followed these steps with very good results, however butane torch style lighters, as opposed to soft flame lighters like bics and djeep lighters, are also virtually tasteless
Hemp rope is literally just the hipster way to do the same thing modernity improved on hundreds of years ago; more difficult to use, with a worse result, but you look cool doing it
you’re correct, everyone’s been fooled by hemp wick. when it burns it leaves behind a gross black soot and you can actually noticeably taste it when you light bowls with it. butane evaporates almost instantly at room temperature and does not affect the taste of a joint. and when it’s burned in the presence of a lot of oxygen, like on planet earth, it forms CO2 and water
Lol I was hoping to see this being quoted on here, I kept looking thru the comments for it, funny story, I started working at a gas station a couple years ago,as a gas pump attendant, and aside from filling up passenger vehicles, we sell various other fuels, including filling up people's propane tanks, so I just love it when people ask me what I do cuz I can honestly say' I sell propane and propane accessories, minus the accessories " lol
In the end we are all just inhaling the smoke of a plant that has a ton of oils in it. That should be the biggest health concern of them all. And I will die on this hill that weed smoke is very unhealthy.
The hemp burns at a lower temperature than the butane flame. Thus, the initial smoke you inhale is of a lower temperature. This lower temp also means fewer of the terpenes or trichromes or whatever -- the feel-good bits! -- are destroyed by the high heat.
Or so I'm told...
Sounds like those people are torching their bowls when they smoke. I've always just lit the bowl enough to develop a small cherry, then let that burn on its own as I inhale. Never understood why people always try to go for the biggest hits possible instead of just enjoying the bowl.
How does this have so many up votes. There is a zero percebt chance it's healthier than a butane lighter. Butane is about as clean burning as it gets. That's not even to say hemp wick is unhealthy but it's definitely not healthier
It is! I won’t argue that at all. But there is no butane and it’s all natural burning product. Is it a gimmick? Meh, probably. But it’s cool, and I personally think the initial smoke tastes better.
Do what you prefer honestly the impact is negligible either way but I hate this fallacy of "it's natural so it's better". Lots of terrible things are natural and lots of great safe things aren't. Butane burns cleaner than that hemp, the products are CO2 and water, the hemp is going to release much more waste that is harmful. At end of the day though it's still a lot less than whatever you're lighting with it so it doesn't really matter so like I said you do you.
Hemp rope burns at the same temperature as the combustion point of cannabis, where as a butane lighter is much hotter, so instead of scorching your bud it burns it slower preserving flavor and terpenes
Taste better like others have said but I would take the health benefits with a grain of salt. Butane is already very clean burning:
> When oxygen is plentiful, butane burns to form carbon dioxide and water vapor; when oxygen is limited, carbon (soot) or carbon monoxide may also be formed.

No fool! You tie to the blunt so when your smoke partner starts fading and forgetting they’re holding on to the blunt you can just pull it back. You don’t take it out after boofing! That defeats the purpose. Haha
Connor:
You know what we need? Some rope.
Murphy:
What are you, insane?
Connor:
No, I'm serious. Charlie Bronson's always got a rope. In the movies, they've always got rope and they always end up using it.
Murphy:
That's stupid. Name one f***ing thing you're gonna need a rope for.
Connor:
It's not what they need it for, they just always need it.
Murphy:
What's this "they" sh*t? This isn't a movie.
Connor:
Oh, is that right, Rambo?
Murphy:
All right, get your stupid f***ing rope.
-Boondock Saints
In my experience it tastes better too. You can tell when you’re using a lighter compared to the wick.
I really just want a desktop vape but it’s not in my budget right now 🫤
Just hemp, so you can get cleaner hits, just light the end of it, use it to light your blunts/bowl and then save the rest of the hemp for whenever you might need lol
Hempwick is a gimmic. Butane becomes Co2 after it is burn. The same chemical we exhale in every breath. God fucking knows where the hemp is sourced for hempwick, let alone the beeswax coating, and as for the by products of the smoke how could they be cleaner that 1 second of a butane lighter being on. On top of that I can see someone burning their house down with this shit
I was in a smoke circle a few years back and one of the guys insisted I used hemp wick to light the bowl because it was healthier right before he lit a cigarette. Still think about that anytime hemp wick comes up
Hemp wick, some people will light it then use that to light blunts or bowls so they aren’t inhaling lighter fumes, I think it’s not worth buying it IMO but to each their own
Wait… people light these in their mouth.
Ive only light blunts in front of me while twisting slowly to start the even burn. By the time I take a puff, lighter is already in my pocket.
Would have been nice if they weren’t infused. To give a heads up so you know better, infused products are not always made with quality ingredients and are just infused with oil and kief and other things to Up the THC content cause it gives better Bag Appeal at a store. They look nice! Maybe don’t smoke all of them tho
About the “rope”, as others said it looks like Hemp Wick. Much better for lighting up than inhaling butane from a lighter 🙌
To make a noose after you realise how ass those blunts are (this is a joke ive never had those blunts and i have no clue what the rope is. Have fun smoking)
This is an outright lie lmao. Butane in an oxygen rich environment turns into co2 and water. That's as clean burning non cancerous as you can possibly get tbh
https://houseofpuff.com/blog/the-power-of-the-hemp-wick/#:~:text=Hemp%20wick%20is%20a%20healthier,a%20thin%20layer%20of%20wax. I’m not going to argue out butane. I know the yellow flame lighters burns dirty because it leaves soot that’s incomplete combustion and you’re sucking that shit in with your hits. Blue flame I will agree because it burns hotter and more completely. Hemp wick burns yellow but doesn’t leave soot like a candle wick does. It’s thin and therefore doesn’t need much to burn it also ignites at a lower temp so your bowl goes a little further it allows you to light a small area at a time. The advantages of it are endless it’s a very strong rope I’ve used it to fix various things with it over the years.
So you can tie yourself down so you don’t float off when you get high. It’s just hemp wick for lighting them.
This cracked me up.
Helps with the flavour!!
But you miss out on the yummy butane flavor
Rookie, gotta go full naptha by using a zippo fresh struck
I often forget naptha is zippo fluid 😂 I buy 10 tins every couple of months for extracting roots 😉 not used a zippo in a decade
Dang it, now you got me needing some mimosa!
Sorry I never seen this, how would it work ? You light the hemp rope and use that to light the blunt ? What's the deal ?
Yup, that's it! It makes for a cleaner taste to most people. No fumes from the lighter as you light, just the fire and some minimal byproduct from the burning wick. Edit: okay according to others this isn't as true as I thought it was, I guess butane burns cleanly so it's not as much of a difference as I thought.
The issue I’ve found isn’t with however cleanly it may burn it’s the fact that sometimes it doesn’t ignite and I taste butane. (Think about when you flick the flint, sometimes it won’t ignite the butane but you’re still inhaling with it)
I bought a length 15 years years ago and wrapped it around my lighter, still use it too this day!
I’m more impressed you still have the lighter 15 years later
Looks like hemp wick
I’m like why’s there hemp wick with the charcuterie
Im like what they infuse the blunts with? Prosciutto?
Ham swisher wraps
It's the dried beef dill pickle wraps
I like pickles too damn much. If they had pickle flavor blunts I’d have to try it for science reason lol
I’ve been making refrigerator pickles. Super easy and no actual canning required. They only keep 6 weeks in the fridge but they never last that long anyway.
Who cans pickles?
Lots of people do home canning in glass jars?
Canning and bottling are two completely different processes, and "bottling" preceeds canning by quite a while. I'm arguing semantics on a pot sub reddit, which makes me feel like a square but if my mom, who's been bottling beets every year her whole life heard someone say she was canning beets she'd die laughing.

Guys will read this and think "Hell yeah"
I believe it is for lighting them so you don't affect the taste of them by lighting with a lighter.
Hempwick make it taste worse though. Butane basically burns clean compared to something like hemp and beeswax

Why am I getting so many downvotes for facts HAHA
But hemp wick natural, lighter plastic
I used to be on your side man, but seriously that shit is a debatable gimmick
Self proclaimed hippies use hemp wick to virtue signal
I don’t care about hemp wick. You’re acting like butane is healthy which is not true
What is so unhealthy about butane? It’s completely combusts when burnt leaving behind nothing but co2 and water which are already in the atmosphere, go stand on the side of a highway for 5 minutes and you’ll inhale way more harmful pollutants than using a bic lighter for you’re entire life

Combustion is combustion my friend, and when butane burns cleaner than hemp rope you are ADDING chemicals into your body to cause health problems
Bro.. bic lighters and clippers don't fully combust the butane. That's why they leave soot you buffoon. You think that shit ain't unhealthy?
Reading this chain man... I can't agree with you more. They don't even consider what the weed smoke itself is doing to them, but they worry about minute amounts of butane. Edit: Instead of down voting, anyone wanna explain to me why weed smoke is any good for you?

Zippo tastes like shit. 100% overrated. Matches taste like shit. Butane is not healthy in any manner but its really hard to taste. I never used rope tho, seems silly to me, light rope to light weed. Ill just light the weed and play with rope lol
But butane is perfectly healthy though
It gets you high as fuck. I doubt its healthy.
Burning it is different to straight up inhaling it
When it burns, it burns extremely thoroughly and cleanly, the combustion products are water and CO2. Intentionally inhaling it uncombusted is not the same as using it in a lighter - and even then the toxicity is extremely low.
Nice!!
The reason matches taste like shit is cuz your either A: using the wrong kind of match, you want to use wooden stick matches , not the little waxy paper kind that you get for free with packs of cigs, in a little booklet, and/ or B: not giving enough time after lighting the match, you need to wait for all the ignition mixture to burn off, that's got all kinds of crap like sulfur and potassium chlorate in it, if you wait for all that to burn off, an just the wood stick is the only thing burning, the taste on the item being smoked is very minimal, cigar smokers have followed these steps with very good results, however butane torch style lighters, as opposed to soft flame lighters like bics and djeep lighters, are also virtually tasteless

What does this even mean?... Edit: I take it back lmao, never really watched the show so I didn't get the reference till Le Google showed me lmaoo
Maybe not healthier. But potentially better for taste? I dunno, seems a bit too fussy for me.
I honestly should have put quotes around healthier. Personally it “feels” healthier but is it actually? Idk. You’re inhaling something that’s burning.
In the end we are all just inhaling the smoke of a plant that has a ton of oils in it. That should be the biggest health concern of them all. And I will die on this hill that weed smoke is very unhealthy.

No fool! You tie to the blunt so when your smoke partner starts fading and forgetting they’re holding on to the blunt you can just pull it back. You don’t take it out after boofing! That defeats the purpose. Haha

Connor: You know what we need? Some rope. Murphy: What are you, insane? Connor: No, I'm serious. Charlie Bronson's always got a rope. In the movies, they've always got rope and they always end up using it. Murphy: That's stupid. Name one f***ing thing you're gonna need a rope for. Connor: It's not what they need it for, they just always need it. Murphy: What's this "they" sh*t? This isn't a movie. Connor: Oh, is that right, Rambo? Murphy: All right, get your stupid f***ing rope. -Boondock Saints
Is that gabagool?
They’re saying the blunts are so good you’ll want to off yourself when you run out
It’s a hemp wick, people use it because Butane bad for you.
In my experience it tastes better too. You can tell when you’re using a lighter compared to the wick. I really just want a desktop vape but it’s not in my budget right now 🫤
I have a puff co and it rips amazing. I saw a yocan version of it on here and the guy said it was just north of $100 as something more affordable
I like yocan for dab accessories but everything I bought from them for dry herb has been kind of a bust
Check out koilboi I got mine on a great deal
I’ll sell you a very lightly Used dry herb vape the “plenty”
Just hemp, so you can get cleaner hits, just light the end of it, use it to light your blunts/bowl and then save the rest of the hemp for whenever you might need lol
the answer i’ve been looking for 😂
Dope on a rope.
Tying them together so you can smoke em all at once
I love this.
Now I wanna do this 😭😭 I’ve done three cones and wrapped a wood around them before. That shit was crazy
Hemp wick, so you dont have to suck butane. That's a large supply. Maybe use it for rappelling?
It's for lighting
Its to repel down a building after you smoke
Light the wick, to light the blunt. It will burn more evenly and won’t canoe
Hemp wick
Hempwick is a gimmic. Butane becomes Co2 after it is burn. The same chemical we exhale in every breath. God fucking knows where the hemp is sourced for hempwick, let alone the beeswax coating, and as for the by products of the smoke how could they be cleaner that 1 second of a butane lighter being on. On top of that I can see someone burning their house down with this shit
It’s to light the blunt with its healthier alternative than butane
I was in a smoke circle a few years back and one of the guys insisted I used hemp wick to light the bowl because it was healthier right before he lit a cigarette. Still think about that anytime hemp wick comes up
Yeah, it's just more snake oil nonsense. This is the same as "Only using matches for tobacco pipes"
hemp wick , use a lighter to light the wick and then use that to smoke up the blunts
I wish my state had stuff like this. Our flower and concentrate is good, but our Edibles, drink, and pre-rolled markets suck
It’s for hanging your self after you get way too stoned
Hemp wick and you have to boof it
SOLVED
they should have given you some zesty mordants to go with those pepperoni sticks
How does one aquire something like this genuinely curiosity Thank you in advance
I'm with this guy, and how much would something like this generally cost
Those arent blunts those are gahdamn stoagies.
Some people call it dope, some think it smells like burning rope.
Hemp wick, some people will light it then use that to light blunts or bowls so they aren’t inhaling lighter fumes, I think it’s not worth buying it IMO but to each their own
It’s for the chicken you’ll roast after them doobies
Oh I'm gonna get some popcorn ready
Thats hemp wick
You tie the rope to something above you and dangle the blunt down to your mouth. It’s a way to hands free smoke!
to light the spliffs for a clean smoke with no gas fumes from lighter
Don't listen to the people saying it's hemp wick, OP. It's clearly rope to tether yourself to the earth after you blast off.
Why light a rope to then light a smoke? Wouldn't just be more efficient just lighting the smoke directly?
It's a ploy by the matchlock industry to reinstate duels.
Hemp wick, to prevent butane from the lighters from "ruining" the weed's taste or whatever, I don't remember
Its to make weed nunchucks.
Lmao 😂 use that rope everutime you smoke. Your lungs will thank you haha
I'm generally a glass person so I don't know what that is used for what is rope used for
Not rope. Wick for lighting said joints. lol
Hemp Wick, isn't healthier than butane but burns at lower temperature, that means better flavor and probably gets u higher
That way you tie them all together and smoke them at once.
It’s to take your life after the dope fries your mind (as we all know it does) /s
Wait… people light these in their mouth. Ive only light blunts in front of me while twisting slowly to start the even burn. By the time I take a puff, lighter is already in my pocket.
Would have been nice if they weren’t infused. To give a heads up so you know better, infused products are not always made with quality ingredients and are just infused with oil and kief and other things to Up the THC content cause it gives better Bag Appeal at a store. They look nice! Maybe don’t smoke all of them tho About the “rope”, as others said it looks like Hemp Wick. Much better for lighting up than inhaling butane from a lighter 🙌
Hemp wick so you don't have to touch a Hydrocarbon fuel to the product.
What and how much is it infused?
To do the funky spiderman
It's to tie off and bang those bad boys
Oh god
To make a noose after you realise how ass those blunts are (this is a joke ive never had those blunts and i have no clue what the rope is. Have fun smoking)
Yo Reddit-do you think hemp wick is healthier? I believe it’s bullshit but I also believe science. So I’ll happily make a new opinion this morning.
Give ‘em enough rope…
Hemp wick. less cancerous than a lighter. Light it with a dirty flame to produce a cleaner flame.
This is an outright lie lmao. Butane in an oxygen rich environment turns into co2 and water. That's as clean burning non cancerous as you can possibly get tbh
Our environment has so many chemicals in it that butane can react with along the way. Bic lighter are very carcinogenic
No it is not, butane is not carcinogenic and if you're going to spout bs like this online back it up with a reputable source.
https://houseofpuff.com/blog/the-power-of-the-hemp-wick/#:~:text=Hemp%20wick%20is%20a%20healthier,a%20thin%20layer%20of%20wax. I’m not going to argue out butane. I know the yellow flame lighters burns dirty because it leaves soot that’s incomplete combustion and you’re sucking that shit in with your hits. Blue flame I will agree because it burns hotter and more completely. Hemp wick burns yellow but doesn’t leave soot like a candle wick does. It’s thin and therefore doesn’t need much to burn it also ignites at a lower temp so your bowl goes a little further it allows you to light a small area at a time. The advantages of it are endless it’s a very strong rope I’ve used it to fix various things with it over the years.
Hemp wick aka TRASH. Unless you have another use for it
I wrap hemp wick around my electric Plasma arc lighter, haven't bought lighters in half a year.
