Introducing A Stylish and Practical Glass Wand Lighter for Smoking Tobacco
Are you a smoker? Did you know that you could be breathing in tons of chemicals from the lighter you're using? That's why we're proud to present the Glass Wand Lighter, aka a hot wand, a stylish and practical choice for those looking for an alternative to traditional gas lighters.
Using a Glass Wand lighter is the best way to keep your brain and lungs safe and healthy. In this article, we're going to go over why having this handy lighter will provide you with a cleaner smoke.
What is a Glass Wand Lighter?
Let's start from the beginning by explaining what a glass lighter is. A glass lighter is simply a rod of borosilicate glass that has a gather formed on the end. The gather looks like a marble, and this is what we call the hot end. The rods vary in length but most are 4-5 inches so they fit nicely in a pocket or bag.
We use our hot wand to ignite whatever we want to smoke. But wait, how does the glass light my tobacco? Excellent question.
How to Use a Glass Wand
Using a glass lighter is easier than you think. The only tool you'll need besides the glass rod, is a butane torch.
Steps for using a Glass Wand Lighter
Heat the marble end of the glass rod. This will be our hot tip. We heat the glass until it glows a dull orange.
Remove the butane torch once the glass starts to glow.
Wait for the glow to fade.
Touch the hot tip to your cigarette end and inhale.
Enjoy that chemical-free goodness.
The advantages of using a glass wand lighter
The biggest advantage of using a glass wand lighter is that it doesn't produce any toxins, smoke or fumes. This means you can enjoy your smoking experience without any unhealthy chemicals. Plus, the heat from the end of the rod will burn off many of the unwanted carcinogens in your tobacco. In other words, you will be smoking cleaner.
A glass wand lighter is also extremely easy to use and portable. You can take it anywhere you go without having to worry about running out of fuel or refilling the tank. Yes, you do need a butane torch for it to work, but it uses a fraction of fuel to get hot.
Lastly, you won't be inhaling butane which is the gas that most lighters are filled with. Butane can cause brain and lung damage. It is not worth taking the risk of using a lighter with a butane flame. Plus you don't want that nasty butane taste in your mouth.
Glass Lighter vs. Hemp Wick
Some smokers prefer to use hemp wick instead of a glass wand. Hemp wick is made from natural plant fibers, and it’s also moisture resistant, so it won't go out if you accidentally drop it in water.
In my opinion, using a hemp wick or glass wand are the way to go.
Conclusion
Altogether, a glass wand lighter is a great purchase that provides both convenience and safety. All the features it includes make using one quick and simple. Not to mention they are not expensive and your health is worth it.
