@TheJackofAss I think you probably know this already, but screens can be cleaned and reused for years so if you’re throwing them away you don’t have to!
I use double weave Ti screens, and in the ShovelHead and PanHead bowls (only one’s available now and I forget which) I just leave them in and clean the bowl and screen together when they’re too clogged.
My screens mostly clog due to stirring I think. If I’m careful not to push flower into the screen and I brush it out while it’s warm after dumping it, that seems to keep it pretty clean for a while. I also blow it a bit from both sides if the brush isn’t getting everything. All of this works better if it’s warm.
For deeper cleaning I take off the handle and soak the bowl and post in iso for a few mins and run water from the sink through the bottom of the bowl. It works even better if it had a sprayer that’s higher pressure. Sometimes it takes a couple of rounds, but I rarely have to resort to sticking a needle in to poke out the last crumb or two. It’s easy and doesn’t take much time.
If you’re using less rigid screens that may not work, but doing basically the same thing with the screens separate should work in that case.
Oh, and after you empty a bowl you can also try a hit or two with just the dirty screen. You can even leave the head on the bowl for a min to warm it up more. You may be surprised how much vapor you can get that way sometimes, and it helps what’s stuck in the screen come out easier.
A FlowerPot can be very low maintenance, and despite having extras I’ve been using the same screens for years.
