Stupid Brigham Question

captainsousie · Aug 1, 2013

I know it's a stupid question but my search skills are failing me so I'll just ask. Do you need to save the little metal tip from the Brigham filter? This is my first Brigham, I have no extra filters, and I don't want to lose an important bit.
Thanks

Nope. There's a little metal tip on every rock maple filter. You just go crazy with those metal tips. Get down with your bad self.

Thank you sir, one less thing to keep track of.

I hear you. I find myself spending extended periods of time in the rubber-made and tupperware sections of big box stores now. It took this hobby for me to feel like I needed to get sh!t organized.

And here I though I was the only guy doing this.

The metal piece is what helps keep the filter in place inside the stem. I put a filter in a stem without the metal piece and the draw seemed a bit different but it seemed to be ok. I don't use the filters anymore since I find they restrict the airflow and its just one more thing to mess around with. Changing it every few bowls, rinsing them then finding somewhere to dry them that is clean when I was at work is a PITA so I just do without.

Don't forget that you can rinse and dry the filters after each smoke and re-use them several times!
