Hmm, OK.

I'm not rallying anyone right now, so it's all good.
They say that necessity is the mother of invention. That was the case this week when I ran out of Bee Lasso, which by the way is the best product I've encountered all year.
As for taste, that is something you'd have to experience to make the judgement call.
Things to consider when comparing wicks: taste, burn time, hemp:wax ratio, purity of hemp, purity of beeswax.

The commercial beeswax that I've encountered has lots of wings and bits.. so I stay away from that.

I've started keeping my Bee Lasso boulders in ziplock baggies so that my dogs don't drag them onto the floor.. turns out that wax is sticky... No one wants dog hair hits...

ps- I re-read what I wrote before.. I suppose I did invite testing.. I supposed I'd need to actually have the materials (new hemp) before I offer anything... that was my pre-adderall impulsivity.. NO SAMPLES for anyone

lol adderall is some fucked up shit bro, was on that shit for 8 months years ago.....


anyways yep I totally agree with how you weigh out hemp wick quality, that is a lot like how I weigh it out too.... and definitely you gota keep your boulders clean, I always cut off 5 inch strips at a time so its always clean, I can taste the difference when they start getting dirty. I also keep the other boulders I"m not using in a drawer away from dust... pretty easy.. I thought about making my own but when 1 roll lasts me over a month I could care less.

You shouldn't be able to detect much of any taste.. Beeswax burns soot-free and is recommended by the American Lung Association for candles and such..
That's why I like a very fine thread (few strands) and more wax.. It burns longer this way and you get less ash.. (virtually no ash from the wick)

I hear ya Poplars... We o through a boulder in 10 days, so it has turned into a pretty big expense...

I made like 30 feet of my own stuff with two tablespoons of wax only, which is like 30cents of wax..

Anywho, I'm not trying to derail the thread -- I'm still a big beelasso fan...

for sure bro I appreciate your posts and research on this, through your trial and error you can let me know what the best grade of hemp for this, plus the grades of beeswax and such.

I would like to make my own one day, but I'll let people like you figure out the best grade of hemp for it before I try it... maybe after you've made quite a few runs of it when you think you have hemp that matches or surpasses the quality of beelasso you'll have to send me a sample and I"ll let you know ;) I am an unbiased tester even though I do love beelasso, I love quality products and this is more of a research for your own making rather than a business venture, that's why I'm interested.....

because if it' comes down to supporting a business, I'm gonna support beelasso because theyre making hella progress... but if I'm supporting a DIY project, it's a whole different story ;)

does anyone make there own hemp wick instead of buying it from a head shop? you can get a slab of beeswax and a roll of hemp string for less then 20 dollars and make about 300+ feet

yeah somebody already looked into that, just a few posts back.

it may be cheaper but you're not guaranteed beelasso's quality, for that reason alone I don't plan on making my own hemp wick for a while.

what do you base your educated guess on? where do people here get their hemp from? if they were to make it like someone a while back said they are doing

You can look online to find hemp or you can check out local stores.. like jewelry making places and craft stores.
I've seen hungarian and bulgarian hemp so far...

The world-leading producer of hemp is China, with smaller production in Europe, Chile and North Korea. Over 30 countries produce industrial hemp, including Australia, Austria, Canada, Great Britain, France, Russia and Spain.

I think you'd better keep looking if you want to match bee-lasso's quality... just sayin, the likelyhood that you ran into the same exact stuff they buy out of over 30 countries that produce it... good luck man.

maybe they'll simply tell you... but I doubt they would, that's probably the key to their success, ordering that particular quality of hemp from that particular country that you haven't heard about.

It wasn't hard to find. Locally I was able to find Hungarian hemp. I found the other stuff immediately, but it shipped from outside the U.S.
I got it today and it is the same as the beelasso as far as I can tell.

I've been wearing hemp clothes for 17 years.. Most of it came from hungary back in the day... I wouldn't touch Chinese hemp with a ten foot pole, either...

well if you want to be truly sure you need to match your macro shots up w/ mine.


but I highly doubt you got the same kind just because of probability.

Good points..

The yellow looking one is beelasso.
The other is plain wick without wax.
I have to dip some of this to see what mine looks like...
