When looking for a grinder there are some good things to look out for.
We LOVE a 4 piece grinder so you can save your keif. We love a CNC machined grinder for durability. Then, like an Elev8 grinder, the bottom that holds the kief is beveled, this helps get the keif out more easily.
They work by drawing air through the bottom so you can use just a marble. You can also use terp pearls for fun and more heat retention.
We feel they are WAY easier to clean than a terp slurper. We feel they are a little harder to clean over a standard banger.
Better, that is up to you
In our opinion as soon as you can afford a glass water pipe, the life of a silicon pipe is ended. If you properly clean the silicon on a regular basis, like you should anything you smoke out of, the silicon bong can last many years.
The ashes are trapped between the glass. The ashes have already been taken to very hot temperatures and the ash is what is left from that process. Ashes are mostly the bone that is left over and then crushed to be like ashes. These bones ashes are then trapped in the glass. Sometimes the cremation ashes bubble. So are the ashes harmed? They are changed and enhanced in our opinion
If you have never used a torch the answer is YES. If a person has past experience blowing glass they can rent space without the class. This class offers safety, as well as basic skills that a blower needs to have.
Yes, the more water you have to pull through the harder it is to inhale. Now, is it adding more pressure? We do not feel it is adding more pressure, the pressure is already there based on your surroundings. What happens is that each new champer is basically restrictive, and the more restrictor you have, the harder it will be to inhale. But this will increase the filtering and cooling of the smoke of vapor.
A Backwood is an actual leaf while the wraps are basically crap tobacco leaves that are turned to a pulp. This pulp is made to tobacco paper and there you have it. If you want flavor the Swisher Sweets are great at it. The Backwoods offers a more cigar-style flavor, but using a fronto leaf is our favorite as it is just a raw leaf.
Yes, inhaling anything other than air is NOT good. Make sure you always rinse your rig after cleaning. An extra rinse never hurt anything.
This all depends on the user. We have found 750 is good for dry herb and 800+ is good for concentrates with the flavor disc in it.
Word of recommendation is that start lower and move higher.
