Is smoking out of a waterpipe healthier than joints in a sense? Does the water help remove nasty particles better?

Yes, using water to filter your smoke will reduce the tars and some other poo.

If you are really looking for a better way, consider vaping.  A vape like the Silver Surfer will deliver true flavor.  This is what we call raw dabs.  Vapes like the SSV remove up to 90% of the tars and carcinogens, as well as offer a much higher bioavailability over smoking.  Vaping is up to 80%, while smoking is about 30%.

Removing combustion like what a vape does will also prevent the destruction of goodness in the herb, as up to 60% can be destroyed from the high heat of combustion.

How hot can silicone get before it becomes dangers for your lungs? Ex. Silicone dab rigs or dabbing straight out of silicone.

We suggest using all glass or all quartz, or in a combination like our dab bat made of borosilicate and quartz.

Silicon can get up to 600 degrees f before it starts to burn.  Silicone does not melt, it burns.

We find the silicon dab rigs and nectar collectors to be more of a gimmick or for people that do not want to spend a lot of money.  We do not think connoisseurs would pick a silicone anything to vape their precious concentrates with other than boro or quartz.

Do we inhale butane or any other chemicals into our lungs when we use lighters or torches instead of hemp wick or an enail?

Ok, so yes butane if inhaled is not good at all, and should never be done.  But, when you burn butane it turns to water and CO2.  When you use a lighter most all if not all of the butane is combusted, so you inhale CO2 and water.  If you do not want to inhale that, use the lighter to just catch your herb on fire and then just keep hitting the herb so it stays lit.

One thing to note about hemp wick is beeswax is also added as HEMP just does not burn well.  So you are also adding other contaminants when using a hemp wick.

We suggest giving it a try.  If you like it do it, if you do not don’t.
