Lighting Your Blunt Like a Pro: The Hemp Wick Method

Lighting Your Blunt Like a Pro: The Hemp Wick Method
Welcome to our updated quick-guide on lighting your blunt for an optimal smoking experience. With each purchase, we now include a string of hemp wick, offering you a cleaner, more flavorful way to enjoy your smoke. Here's how to light your blunt with hemp wick, ensuring a smooth, even burn every time.


Why Hemp Wick?

Using hemp wick instead of a direct lighter flame avoids the butane interacting with the delicate terpenes in your blunt. This method preserves the natural flavors and provides a more enjoyable smoking experience.


Step-by-Step Guide:
  1. Prepare Your Hemp Wick: Unwind a small length of the hemp wick provided with your blunt. ( careful not to use any part of the wick that has bottle sealing wax.)
  2. Light the Wick: Use a lighter to ignite the end of the hemp wick. Aim for a steady, small flame to control the heat better.
  3. Evenly Ignite the Blunt: Gently rotate your blunt, applying the hemp wick flame around its tip. Focus on the edges to create a uniform burn line. This initial step is crucial for an even burn, reducing the chance of canoeing.
  4. Initiate the Draw: Once you've established an even circle of ember, place the blunt between your lips. Continue to use the hemp wick to apply heat to the center of the blunt's tip while taking gentle, pulsing inhales. This action encourages the core of your blunt to catch fire evenly with the outer layers.
  5. Enjoy Your Session: With the blunt lit, you can set aside the hemp wick (safely extinguish any remaining flame). Enjoy the natural flavors and smooth burn of your blunt. The average burn time should range between 12 to 20 minutes, depending on your draw and the strain's individual characteristics.

Pro Tip:
 After lighting, if your blunt starts to burn unevenly, you can correct it by lightly pinching the side that's burning too slowly and applying a bit more flame to the slower-burning side. This adjustment helps maintain an even burn throughout your session.


Conclusion:

Lighting your blunt with hemp wick is a simple yet effective way to enhance your smoking experience. This method not only preserves the integrity of the terpenes for a purer taste but also contributes to a more controlled and enjoyable session. Try this method with your next blunt and taste the difference for yourself!
