Zasloni cevi: vrste, uporabe in namestitev

Zasloni za cevi so majhni vložki, ki preprečujejo, da bi konoplja padla skozi luknjo za posodo, hkrati pa omogočala pretok zraka. So poceni, učinkoviti in rešujejo eno najpogostejših težav s cevjo. Ta priročnik zajema različne vrste, kdaj jih uporabiti in pravilno namestitev.

hiter odgovor

Zasloni za cevi so majhna mrežasta ali perforirana vložka, nameščena na dno sklede, da preprečijo padce konoplje. Medeninasti zasloni so najpogostejši (poceni, za enkratno uporabo, 1-3 $ za 100). Stekleni zasloni marjetice so za večkratno uporabo in zagotavljajo boljši pretok zraka. Jekleni zasloni so trpežni. Spustite zaslon v skledo, pritisnite navzdol, zamenjajte, ko je zamašen.

Zakaj uporabljati cevne zaslone?

Težave Rešite zaslone:

• Konoplja, ki pade skozi luknjo za posodo
• Pepel pride v usta
• Zamaški v steblu cevi
• Zapravljena konoplja
• "Scooby Snacks" (ostanki v ustih)

Ko jih potrebujete:

• Velike luknje za skledo
• Drobno mleta konoplja
• Starejše cevi z obrabljenimi luknjami
• Vsaka cev, kjer material pade skozi

Kako namestiti cevne zaslone

Medeninasti/jekleni mrežasti zasloni

Step 1: izberite pravilno velikost (mora biti nekoliko večja od luknje za posodo)

Step 2: Oblikujte zaslon tako, da pritisnete v skledo ali ukrivite s prsti

Step 3: Spustite v skledo, konkavno stran navzdol

Step 4: S prstom pritisnite robove navzdol, da se pravilno usedete

Step 5: Na vrh dodajte konopljo

Key: Zaslon naj sedi ravno na dnu, popolnoma pokrije luknjo.

Steklene marjetice

Step 1: ujemanje velikosti marjetice z velikostjo sklede

Step 2: Spusti v skledo (oblikovanje ni potrebno)

Step 3: sredinska luknja

Step 4: Dodaj konopljo

Note: Stekleni zasloni se ne oblikujejo - so togi. Pridobite pravilno velikost.

---

Velikosti zaslona

Ko ste v dvomih: Pojdi nekoliko večji. Lahko oblikujete navzdol, ne navzgor.

---

Kdaj zamenjati zaslone

Znaki, da je čas:

• Pretok zraka je omejen (težko risati)
• Mreža za zamašitev vidne smole
• Zaslon ima pregorele luknje
• Kovinski okus (medeninasti zasloni)
• Zaslon je izkrivljen ali poškodovan

Tipična življenjska doba:

Medeninasti zasloni: 3-10 uporabe, odvisno od čiščenja

Jekleni zasloni: 10-30 uporabnih

Steklene marjetice: nedoločeno, če se redno čisti

Titanium: mesece do leta s čiščenjem

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.
