People really seem to be split when it comes to using the Brigham filters or not. They work really well and I use them pretty often, recently not so much as I mostly just smoke English blends in my Brigham and they don't seem to give off as much moisture as some. One thing I do hate is maintenance of filters, any filters. I use the paper medico ones with my cops cause I hate sucking in tobacco, and I really hate taking them out after a bowl, soggy and gross and smelly.
Anyway, when I do use the Brighams I am usually too 'lazy' to take out the stem, and rinse them out and put them somewhere to dry. Lets be honest, the Brigham filters require some maintenance if you're going to reuse them.
I just took one of the filters that was dirty that I had set aside and I rinsed it under warm water. It didn't get much cleaner and it still smelled gross, I threw it out. It wasn't old, it had probably only been used a few times if its one I had already rinsed in the past.
Any methods people use when cleaning these things? I thought I remembered someone storing their dirty ones in one place and then doing a bunch at once, if thats the case, how do you still get them somewhat clean after they've dried dirty? And about how many smokes on a single filter is too much? I never smoke more than twice on the same filter before I take it out.
