RAW 250FT Hempwick Ball European Edition 1PC

The RAW 250ft Hemp Wick Ball European Edition is a natural lighting tool for smokers who want to ditch butane and matches. Made from hemp coated in beeswax, this 250-foot spool gives you a cleaner flame without the chemical taste or lighter fluid aftertaste. It's built for people who care about what they're putting in their lungs and want a more controlled, flavorful lighting experience.

Key Benefits

• No butane taste — Hemp and beeswax burn clean, so you're tasting your herb, not lighter fluid
• 250 feet on one spool — Lasts way longer than constantly refilling lighters or buying matchbooks
• Better flame control — Lower, slower burn lets you corner bowls and avoid torching the whole thing at once
• Made from renewable materials — Hemp and beeswax are natural, sustainable resources, not petroleum byproducts
• Eco-friendly packaging — Even the box and cards are printed on recycled or hemp paper

Best For

This is for smokers who've noticed that butane lighters mess with flavor, especially on glass pipes or joints. If you're the type who corners bowls to save greens for the next person, or you just want a cleaner, more intentional lighting ritual, hemp wick makes a difference. Also solid for people trying to reduce plastic lighter waste or who prefer natural materials in their smoking setup.

How It Works

Hemp wick is simple: light the end with a match or lighter, then use the wick's flame to light your bowl, joint, or blunt. The beeswax coating keeps it burning steadily without dripping or going out too fast. Once you're done, blow it out or dip it in water. You're still using a lighter to start the wick, but you're avoiding direct butane contact with your herb, which is the whole point.

The 250-foot ball gives you plenty of length to work with. Wrap some around your lighter, keep a length on your desk, or just pull from the spool as needed. Because it burns slower than a lighter flame, you get more control over where the heat goes — helpful for bowls where you want to light just one corner and preserve the rest for later hits.

One tip: don't let the wick touch the bowl while it's still burning after you've pulled away. It can leave behind a little beeswax residue if you're not careful. Just light, pull back, and blow out the wick when you're done.

What's Included

• 1 spool of RAW Hemp Wick (250 feet)

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this actually make a difference in taste?

Yeah, it does. Butane lighters can leave a chemical aftertaste, especially on the first hit when you're inhaling while the flame is still on the bowl. Hemp wick burns cleaner, so you're getting more of the actual flavor from your herb or rolling papers without the lighter fluid interference.

How long does 250 feet last?

Depends on how often you smoke, but this spool lasts a while. If you're lighting a few bowls a day, you're looking at several months. Even daily smokers report getting weeks or months out of one ball. It's way more economical than buying lighters constantly.

Can I use this for lighting joints or just bowls?

Works for both. Joints, blunts, bowls, bongs — anything you'd normally use a lighter for. Some people prefer it for joints because the slower burn gives you time to get an even light on the tip without scorching it.

Is this the same as regular RAW Hemp Wick or is the European Edition different?

It's the same product, just packaged for the European market. The wick itself — hemp and beeswax — is identical. The "European Edition" label is mostly about distribution and packaging standards for that region.

Do I still need a lighter?

Yes, you need something to light the wick initially. Most people keep a lighter or matches around to start the wick, then use the wick to light their bowls. The idea is to avoid direct butane contact with what you're smoking, not to eliminate lighters entirely.

Does the beeswax leave residue?

Not usually, but if you let the wick sit on the bowl while it's burning, you might get a tiny bit of wax. Just light your bowl, pull the wick away, and blow it out when you're done. Keep it clean and you won't have issues.

How do I store this without it unraveling everywhere?

Keep it on the spool it comes with, or wrap a working length around your lighter. Some people use a small container or tin to keep a few feet handy without tangling. The ball itself stays together pretty well if you don't mess with it too much.
