Box of Screens – Brass

The Box of Screens - Brass is a bulk supply of pipe screens built for smoke shops, head shops, and anyone who goes through screens faster than they'd like to admit. You get 500 screens total - 100 packs of 5 - so you're stocked for months of daily use or ready to resell at the counter.

Why brass screens work

• No ash in your mouth - keeps debris where it belongs while letting airflow through clean
• Brass holds up to heat - won't warp or burn out as fast as cheaper aluminum alternatives
• Universal fit for most hand pipes - standard size works with glass, metal, and wood bowls
• Pre-packaged in 5-packs - easy to grab one for yourself or toss in with a customer's purchase
• Bulk quantity actually makes sense - 500 screens means you're not reordering every other week

Best for

This box is sized for retailers stocking counter inventory, but it's also a smart buy for the person who's tired of running out. If you've got a rotation of hand pipes or you're the friend everyone asks for a spare screen, this covers you for a long time. Smoke shops can break these down for individual resale - the 5-pack format is exactly what customers expect at checkout.

How to use pipe screens

Drop a screen into your bowl before packing. That's really it. The screen sits at the bottom of the bowl, catching ash and plant material before it gets pulled through. You still get full airflow, but your hits stay cleaner and you're not picking debris out of your teeth.

Brass screens can be reused a few times before they get gunked up. When airflow starts feeling restricted or the screen looks coated in resin, swap it out. At 500 screens per box, you can afford to replace them as often as you want without thinking twice.

For bowls with larger or oddly shaped holes, you can gently bend the screen to fit. Brass is malleable enough to shape without snapping, but rigid enough to hold its form once it's in place.

Brass vs. stainless steel screens

Brass is the classic choice - it's been the go-to pipe screen material for decades. It heats evenly, doesn't affect flavor much, and costs less than stainless steel. Stainless lasts a bit longer before corroding, but most people replace screens often enough that it doesn't matter. For everyday use and retail inventory, brass is the standard for a reason.

Frequently asked questions

What size pipes do these screens fit?

These are standard-size brass screens that fit most hand pipes, spoon pipes, metal pipes, and wood pipes. They work with typical bowl sizes you'd find at any smoke shop. For unusually large bowls, you might need to stack two or bend one to cover the hole.

How often should I replace a screen?

Depends on how much you smoke and how clean you keep your piece. Heavy daily users might swap screens every few days. Casual smokers can get a week or two out of one. When airflow drops or the screen looks black and crusty, it's time. With 500 in the box, don't overthink it.

Can I clean and reuse brass screens?

You can rinse them in isopropyl alcohol and let them dry, which buys you a few extra uses. But at this quantity, most people just toss them when they get dirty. Cleaning makes more sense if you're down to your last few.

Are these food-grade or safe to use?

Brass pipe screens have been used in smoking accessories for decades. They're designed to handle the heat of a lighter flame without releasing harmful compounds at normal smoking temperatures. That said, always replace screens that look corroded or damaged.

Can I sell these individually at my shop?

That's exactly what they're packaged for. Each 5-pack is ready for counter display or to toss in the bag with a pipe purchase. Standard added cost on screens is solid, and customers always need them.

Do these work with glass bowls and bongs?

Yes. If your glass bowl has a large hole at the bottom, a screen keeps herb from pulling through into the water. Works the same as with any other pipe - just drop it in before packing. For bongs and water pipes, screens in the bowl help keep your water cleaner longer.

Why brass instead of glass screens?

Glass screens (the little flower-shaped ones) work great but they're fragile and easy to lose. Brass screens are cheaper, more durable, and easier to replace. Glass screens look nicer in clear pieces, but for everyday function, brass gets the job done without the hassle.
