Hi- first post. In my opinion regarding whip based vaporizers, the poke stick is key to maximizing your material and getting good delivery. About a week ago a vendor who I have been in email communication with suggested that I use a toothpick or a bamboo skewer rather than a metal stick, to absolutely prevent the glass from breaking. I didn't think that was possible, from my experience the only thing you could do is puncture the screen at worst, but anyway, I used a toothpick to poke and stir between hits and found the experience inefficient. Then I switched back to my metal stick and got three extra solid hits before dumping the spent vaporizables. The sharp metal stick is MUCh better than a toothpick.
So my question is this - if you want to buy a good pokey stick, aside from ordering a replacement from a vendor or head shop, if you walk into a hardware store what exactly would you ask for?
Thanks....
