Right on!!! My order from Bob HQ arrived this afternoon and I am really excited to show you some of the new gear that I purchased to test. I'm starting with the Twisty-Glass Blunt.
Generally speaking, I am not a smoker. I never have been. I prefer vapourizers. However I watched a review on one of these glass apparatuses about 6 months ago and I wanted to try one of these ever since.
It's a paperless joint so that means no contamination of the herb's natural flavours.
The glass tube has rubber stoppers for both ends. You use 1 of the stoppers when you load it with your ground herb, then you insert the cork-screw which has the mouth piece at one end.
The mouth piece cork-screw acts just like a small auger, and it moves the fresh herb down the glass tube with a simple turn. This allegedly ensures that every inhalation is just as flavourful as the first. Due to this auger design, it's also supposed to be 30% cooler than a traditional joint when you inhale.
Today I learned that "Borosilicate" glass is made with silica and boron trioxide. This makes this glass resistant to expansion and thermal shock so it's less prone to breakage compared to regular glass.
I have to admit that I am a little nervous to fill this puppy right up with precious herb. Fully loaded, it will hold 2 grams so my plan is to start with a little bit and just see what the experience is like. I'll be doing this in about 2 hours from now and I'll be sure to let you all know what I think about it.
This piece of gear is made in San Francisco, USA. For more information, have a look at their website: www.7pipe.com .
I welcome your comments and I invite you to follow me on my journey...blazing it as we go.
