Cleaning Screens
Brass/Steel Screens
Quick method:
1. Hold with tweezers
2. Run lighter flame over both sides
3. Residue burns off
4. Let cool, reuse
Deep clean:
1. Soak in isopropyl alcohol
2. Scrub gently
3. Rinse, dry
Reality: Brass screens are cheap enough that most people just replace them.
Glass Daisy Screens
Method:
1. Remove from bowl
2. Soak in isopropyl alcohol 30+ minutes
3. Rinse with warm water
4. Air dry
5. Reuse
Glass screens are worth cleaning - they're reusable for a long time.
Screens vs Built-In Solutions
Pipes with Built-In Screens
Some pipes have:
- Narrowed passages (no screen needed)
- Built-in glass marbles
- Integrated metal mesh
- Perforated glass bottoms
If your pipe has this: No screen needed.
When Built-In Isn't Enough
Sometimes pipes have holes that are too large even with narrow passages. Add a screen anyway if material falls through.
Common Screen Problems
Problem: Screen Falls Into Pipe
Cause: Screen too small, not shaped properly
Fix: Use larger screen, shape to grip bowl walls
Problem: Can't Draw Air
Cause: Screen clogged, or using too many screens
Fix: Replace screen, only use one at a time
Problem: Screen Burns Through
Cause: Holding flame on screen too long, cheap screens
Fix: Light cannabis, not screen. Upgrade to thicker screens
Problem: Metallic Taste
Cause: New brass screen, coatings burning off
Fix: Burn off coatings before first use (flame empty screen), or switch to glass
Pro Tips
Tip 1: Buy in Bulk
Brass screens are cheapest in packs of 100. You'll use them.
Tip 2: Shape Before Inserting
Use the back of a pen or your thumb to pre-shape mesh screens into a cup.
Tip 3: Don't Pack Screens Too Tight
A screen should prevent cannabis from falling through, not block airflow.
Tip 4: Try Glass Daisies
Worth the investment for daily users. Cleaner hits, reusable forever.
Tip 5: Match Screen to Grind
Finer grind = finer mesh needed. Coarse grind = standard screens fine.
Do You Always Need a Screen?
Not necessarily.
Screens NOT needed if:
- Pipe has narrow passages
- Using coarsely ground cannabis
- Bowl hole is small
- Using nug plug technique (larger piece at bottom)
Screens DEFINITELY needed if:
- Material consistently falls through
- Getting "scooby snacks" in mouth
- Bowl hole is large
- Using finely ground cannabis
Frequently Asked Questions
Are pipe screens reusable?
Brass screens are technically reusable but most people treat them as disposable due to their low cost ($0.01-0.03 each). Glass daisy screens and steel screens are designed to be cleaned and reused many times.
What size pipe screen do I need?
Measure your bowl hole and choose a screen slightly larger. Standard sizes are 0.5" for small pipes and 0.625" for standard spoon pipes. When in doubt, go larger - you can shape mesh screens down to fit.
Do glass screens work better than brass?
Glass daisy screens offer better airflow and no metallic taste, plus they're reusable indefinitely. Brass screens are cheaper upfront but need frequent replacement. For daily users, glass is worth the investment.
