管道屏幕：类型、用途和安装

管道筛是小插头，可防止大麻从碗孔中掉落，同时允许空气流动。 它们便宜、有效，并且解决了最常见的管道问题之一。 本指南涵盖了不同类型、何时使用它们以及正确安装。

快速回答

管道筛网是放置在碗底的小网眼或穿孔插件，以防止大麻掉过。 黄铜屏幕是最常见的（便宜、一次性，100 美元 1-3 美元）。 玻璃雏菊屏幕可重复使用，并提供更好的气流。 钢丝网经久耐用。 将屏幕放入碗中，按下，堵塞时更换。

安装管道屏幕的方法

黄铜/钢网筛网

Step 1：选择正确的尺寸（应比碗孔稍大）

Step 2: 用手指压入碗中或弯曲的形状屏幕

Step 3: 放入碗中，凹面朝下

Step 4：用手指向下按压边缘以正确就位

Step 5: 加上大麻

Key：屏幕应平放在底部，完全覆盖孔。

玻璃雏菊屏幕

Step 1: 将雏菊尺寸与碗尺寸匹配

Step 2：放入碗中（无需整形）

Step 3: 中心上孔

Step 4: 添加大麻

Note：玻璃屏幕不成形 - 它们是刚性的。 获得正确的尺寸。

屏幕尺寸

有疑问时: 稍微大一点。 你可以塑造，而不是向上。

何时更换屏幕

迹象表明时间：

• 气流受限（难以绘制）
• 可见树脂堵塞网
• 屏幕有孔烧了
• 金属味（黄铜屏风）
• 屏幕翘曲或损坏

典型寿命：

黄铜屏风：3-10 用途取决于清洁

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.
