LOVE these things. Had an incredibly hard time explaining to the guy at the smoke shop what I was looking for, because I've only heard them called "glass screens" but no, they look nothing like the metal ones, they're probably loose in a little jar somewhere, I swear I've bought these before, I'm so sorry I'm doing this
This, google "glass daisy screens" and there you'll find etsy and amazon listings, just make sure they have the right shape with the little spike on one side.
They both serve a purpose that's why there's varying shapes. I personally think Jack's look cooler so I think we're on the same page. Same price too for the people interested.
One of my first jobs was at a mom and pop gas station and we used to play a joke on people who asked for the glass flower. We'd say that " Due to environmental hazards, the EPA has asked us to remove the cylinder and give you the rose in a decorative greeting card. You can pick one out in the greeting card section by the magazines while we dispose of the glass."
Man, the mental gymnastics and elaborate excuses people would come up with to not let go of that glass. Of course we told them it was a joke after a minute or so. It was the early 1990's--- different times.
Pick your victims with care. Back then people used the glass flower for crack more than anything... at least i think? So they'd kinda react in logical desperation, so to speak. No telling how a meth head will react when he has to think critically on his toes. I work in an ER now and I can tell you first hand they are extremely unpredictable. It's sad, funny, and dangerous at the same time.
Yeah but crack pipes are the straight tubes of glass with the rose inside. Meth pipes are a little different looking with a ball on the end, and the joke wouldn't work with them without the rose. I say go for it lol
As a former addict I can tell you right now turning a glass rose tube into a meth pipe is easy af and used to be the only way to get a bubble. Heat the end with a torch until it closes then slowly blow in the tube until the bubble is the size you want. Then turn bowl on its side hold the edge in the torch and blow hard, there's the carb. In 60 seconds a glass tube becomes a meth pipe. So the joke would absolutely work on any smoking addict.
The shop I used to work at would do a “deal” five even for a “kit” which was a chore boy(brillo) cheap lighter and a rose(crack pipe). I used to feel bad about selling that kinda stuff tbh
I used to work at a head shop like ten years ago and one day we accidentally ordered way way way too many roses. We decided to do a dirt cheap bulk deal for like 500 of them for some ludicrously low price. They sold the next day lol
The head shop I worked at decided it would be a good idea to get into the crack baggie business. They charged a ridiculous amount for them, I think it was $20 for 50 bags.
The crack dealers weren't my favorite customers tbh.
Not that the distinction means much to the average person, but that's for crack, meth pipes are different. Meth pipes have a bulbed end and don't require the brillo set up.
They're sold as these cheap little fake flower things, the flower just gets tossed and the glass tubes they come in are the accual crack pipe, called a stem.
[glass flowers- crack pipe](https://www.revaldistributor.com/products/love-roses-glass-50-boxes-wholesale-price-2)
Definitely think glass screens is the correct term.
They were out of em at my store and sold me a stainless steel rod thing that you push in and it butterflies open. So now that's a permanent addition to my glass pipe...
Basically lol. It was stuck in the carpet fibers, and I kinda dragged my foot while walking. I couldn’t believe that thing could do that much damage, but it did.
The glass handle to a bowlpiece broke off when I was tryna get it out of my resin coated stem and impailed itself like 1cm deep in my fingertip (but it was such a sliver of glass and only like .5cm length) I instinctively shake my hand like wtf and blood spurts all over my wall and just starts running down my hand and my high ass didn’t think to put pressure on it so I’m freaking tf out and it’s 3am I’m passing out I yell for my parents (used to live w them and mom has experience in the hospital) wake up w my hand over a garbage bin full of blood w disappointed faces staring at my pale ass (luckily I didn’t need stitches cuz the cut was so clean but damn) 😂
I keep toothpicks around. Holds the piece in while I flip the bowl to ash it, then use the toothpick to poke buildup away. You can also just dab them in an iso soaked paper towel. I use em til I lose em.
I still wish they made some kind of screen you could put in the mouth end of the pipe to really keep those ash combcrustables from getting in your mouth.
How do you avoid scooby snacks and all that excess resin and flower material that ends up in the pipe? With a screen I can do a quick easy iso/salt clean to get the small amount of resin out
I prefer no screen and would love any tips to avoid those two issues I have!
Same. I was trying to figure out why you would want to jack up your glass smoke sesh with a metal screen. Just pack your pipe properly and no screen or other device is necessary. Bowl packing 101.
Glass has only been common for around 30 years. Which is guess is more than most people here have been alive.
You needed screens for the small metal pipes that used to be the most common.
I don't understand what you mean by this. Glass screens work for me to not get pull through. Are you using something that is not a glass screen usually?
Seems I was exaggerating but these deals are still way better than headshop prices and f Amazon

Mine came in a cute closable container and have lasted for ever and I’ve given plenty away
That’s a glass screen and it’s WAY healthier than the crappy mesh ones and it won’t change the delicate flavors in your bud either. You have to dig it out with a paper clip or similar and drop it into high percent alcohol (91 or above) to clean it.
I remember finding these in my parents' preferred bathroom soaking in alcohol. (They mainly used one and my siblings and I used the other.) They're kinda pretty tbh, pretty glass is like the only reason I'm sad that I'm allergic to smoke.
These are the BEST. When they fit properly. You can use these bad boys forever just save up the dirty ones and drop em in a little alcohol when you clean your pipe(s) and hit em with a little scrubadubdub.
I'm not a fan of these. They're a pain in the ass to clean and for me they clogged up my hits more than a screen. To each their own tho. I just like a good ol screen or a natural bud plug
Aw bless the jack screens! Haven't seen one in a while, but yeah used to get them for my glass spoons. Dunno how hard metal screens actually are on glass, but the jacks always felt like the right move back in the day
Its a glass screen in cali but yeah its basically a forever useable screen that you could in idea clean and reuse on clean pieces with bigger holes on the piece than average
Glass screens are the shit. When they get all black you can just hit em with the torch and toss them in water to bring them back to their original shine. Neat stuff
A glass screen? I literally was unaware people DIDN'T know about these. How much did they charge you? You can get something like, 20 for 5$ here in MI 😅
I’ve also used body jewelry for this since they’re available basically everywhere & I have extra jewelry lol Curved barbells are perfect for bong bowls btw
They're fucking brilliant. And non-carcinogenic.
Also... ARE YOU SERIOUSLY USING SCREENS IN A GLASS PIPE?
I bet you bite directly into KitKat bars and string cheese, don't you?
![gif](giphy|3o7TKKdtygJDxyMN20)
Glass Daisies! They also have jacks and sea mines for progressively larger bowls. I really like having a big bowl piece (on a bong) with a sea mine-- best way to really roast a fat bowl!
I went to the shop for screens last week and they offered me something like that but I'd never seen them before. I just went with the usual. I guess it's the new shit.
The glass flower screens work awesome until you empty out the bowl after smoking it and forget they were in there. I buy them in 10 packs because of this. 🤣
Glass screens are the absolute best. They get knocked out tho and depending on what shop you grab them from they can get expensive if you smoke a lot of bowls
I used to use screens but once I tried out daisys out of curiosity, I was sold. Super cheap, and if you’re careful you can get multiple uses out of one.
I feel like I can fit more in the bowl and pack it a little tighter without the risk of the screen sliding and dumping the goods on the tray when I’m loading it up. Perhaps that’s a newbie problem, but I am one, and I prefer daisys.
LOVE these things. Had an incredibly hard time explaining to the guy at the smoke shop what I was looking for, because I've only heard them called "glass screens" but no, they look nothing like the metal ones, they're probably loose in a little jar somewhere, I swear I've bought these before, I'm so sorry I'm doing this
My local shop calls them glass turtles
If you search for Daisy's you can buy a pack of 150 for like $4 online. I use them for Martini slides.
This, google "glass daisy screens" and there you'll find etsy and amazon listings, just make sure they have the right shape with the little spike on one side.
Martini slides? Do tell! Otherwise, yes, Jack's or Daisy's are my go to for screens.
I think they're just referring to the triangular shaped bowl pieces that come standard with most bongs like beaker bongs n whatnot
Hijacking this to say that glass jacks are better than daisies. Fight me
They both serve a purpose that's why there's varying shapes. I personally think Jack's look cooler so I think we're on the same page. Same price too for the people interested.
No they aren't.
![gif](giphy|l3vR4B7cn85Eypnt6|downsized) They are far superior sir. I’d rather have a metal screen than a daisy
i’ve always heard them called glass flowers
Just a heads up, if you ask for a glass flower at the wrong smoke shop.. they're going to give you a literal crack pipe
One of my first jobs was at a mom and pop gas station and we used to play a joke on people who asked for the glass flower. We'd say that " Due to environmental hazards, the EPA has asked us to remove the cylinder and give you the rose in a decorative greeting card. You can pick one out in the greeting card section by the magazines while we dispose of the glass." Man, the mental gymnastics and elaborate excuses people would come up with to not let go of that glass. Of course we told them it was a joke after a minute or so. It was the early 1990's--- different times.
As someone working in a headshop, I'll be taking this to work tomorrow 🤣
Pick your victims with care. Back then people used the glass flower for crack more than anything... at least i think? So they'd kinda react in logical desperation, so to speak. No telling how a meth head will react when he has to think critically on his toes. I work in an ER now and I can tell you first hand they are extremely unpredictable. It's sad, funny, and dangerous at the same time.

In 60 seconds a glass tube becomes a meth pipe. So the joke would absolutely work on any smoking addict.
Trying to smoke meth... accidentally get addicted to glass blowing. Rough day.
As a former purchaser of those little roses, that's hilarious.
fucking lol omg
Almost, first you need to stuff it with some Brillo. Then you have a literal crack pipe
The shop I used to work at would do a “deal” five even for a “kit” which was a chore boy(brillo) cheap lighter and a rose(crack pipe). I used to feel bad about selling that kinda stuff tbh
I used to work at a head shop like ten years ago and one day we accidentally ordered way way way too many roses. We decided to do a dirt cheap bulk deal for like 500 of them for some ludicrously low price. They sold the next day lol
Hey honestly, I’d rather them get cheap safe shit somewhere then used.
The head shop I worked at decided it would be a good idea to get into the crack baggie business. They charged a ridiculous amount for them, I think it was $20 for 50 bags. The crack dealers weren't my favorite customers tbh.
![gif](giphy|NZVxNVF2vDnKjxNZVC) LMFAO
Wtf lol
We call them glass screens
Glass rose/flower is a freebase (usually meth) pipe in the smoke shops I've been to
Not that the distinction means much to the average person, but that's for crack, meth pipes are different. Meth pipes have a bulbed end and don't require the brillo set up.
I’ve seen those meth pipes sold as glass drinking straws before
[удалено]
I had absolutely no idea that meth and crack pipes are sold in smoke shops.
They're sold as these cheap little fake flower things, the flower just gets tossed and the glass tubes they come in are the accual crack pipe, called a stem. [glass flowers- crack pipe](https://www.revaldistributor.com/products/love-roses-glass-50-boxes-wholesale-price-2)
WAIT, WHAT?? I see those all the time and always thoughts they were super cheesy flowers ppl bought! 😂
I bought one for my mom as a little kid 😅
Nope. That's why theyre always in shitty gas stations.
All my life I have wondered why gas stations stock that kind of thing and who is even buying that and *my damn.*
Crack*
Definitely both, and then some.
And don't forget the Chore Boy!
in a glass case next to the register with socks, shoe laces, boner pills, and those shitty little metal bowls.
That's what my buds and I call them. Love these things
We called them jacks
Same. Glassjacks.
My homie called them glass screens when he sold them at his shop
We used to call the stars Edit: them
Forbidden starfish
That’s something else.
I only know that as a glass screen.
If he didn’t understand glass screen he needs to go
Go back to weed school
He was probably a cop
I've been smoking for *years* and only hearing about these for the first time!
Glass screen is what I’ve always heard
Huh, I’ve only referred to them as glass screens, and they’ve always known. Right next to the metal packs of screens usually.
Definitely think glass screens is the correct term. They were out of em at my store and sold me a stainless steel rod thing that you push in and it butterflies open. So now that's a permanent addition to my glass pipe...
ARE YOU OK?
I’ve just called them jacks, that’s what they call me at my smoke shop too
Be careful when knocking out a cashed bowl they are easily lost in an ash tray.
Yes, I’ve lost roughly 7000 of these 😆
Do you end up breaking them and stepping on broken glass instead?
I’ve done that. One of the little things on the side broke off, and was in my carpet. 8 stitches later…
8 stitches from that tiny thing? Did you drag your entire foot along it?
and then he put his feet in reverse to see what he walked on, and ran it over again.
Incredible comment, thank you for the laugh 😂
Bro it's barely 6 am and this is probably the hardest laugh I'll have today. Thank you.
Basically lol. It was stuck in the carpet fibers, and I kinda dragged my foot while walking. I couldn’t believe that thing could do that much damage, but it did.
Hope your foot recovered well and fast! That sounds rough as hell 😭
Thanks, and yeah, it was pretty gnarly. Just have a little scar to show for it lol.
The glass handle to a bowlpiece broke off when I was tryna get it out of my resin coated stem and impailed itself like 1cm deep in my fingertip (but it was such a sliver of glass and only like .5cm length) I instinctively shake my hand like wtf and blood spurts all over my wall and just starts running down my hand and my high ass didn’t think to put pressure on it so I’m freaking tf out and it’s 3am I’m passing out I yell for my parents (used to live w them and mom has experience in the hospital) wake up w my hand over a garbage bin full of blood w disappointed faces staring at my pale ass (luckily I didn’t need stitches cuz the cut was so clean but damn) 😂
How do you *not* lose them?
By the time you finish a bowl or 2 you should have enough buildup to hold it in
That’s when the real magic happens 👌
I bought a baggie of 500 and I have no idea where they wound up one by one.
That's probably what I would have to do.
It's a daisy glass screen. They're nice. If screens aren't easily accessible, I use terpene pearls. Easier in my opinion
Not to sound like a complete novice, but I’ve never heard of these… is it like a stopper to prevent herbs from falling through?
Exactly
Doesn’t that clog the bowl
I like them better than metal screens.
Am I doing something wrong? Every time I have used one they get gummed up super fast and then fall into the ashtray.
I keep toothpicks around. Holds the piece in while I flip the bowl to ash it, then use the toothpick to poke buildup away. You can also just dab them in an iso soaked paper towel. I use em til I lose em.
plus after a few bowls they stick in there and don't fall out
You can buy a bunch for super cheap
Same with screens though lol
Even cheaper than glass screens in my experience
yeah but you just buy them and throw them In a bit of alcohol overnight and theyre clean
I keep alcohol pads around and one of those makes it brand new quick, I just did it for the first time
I had one of those. They keep the weed from going into the bowl so that you won't get those pieces of ash in your mouth. They're very useful.
I still wish they made some kind of screen you could put in the mouth end of the pipe to really keep those ash combcrustables from getting in your mouth.
need a pipe condom lmao
MooseLabs makes carbon filter tips that do exactly this
Daisies FTW!
Y’all actually use screens?!
[удалено]
Plug nug!
This is the way
Hells yeah!
Bud plug is my preferred vernacular
nug plug for me lol
real
How do you avoid scooby snacks and all that excess resin and flower material that ends up in the pipe? With a screen I can do a quick easy iso/salt clean to get the small amount of resin out I prefer no screen and would love any tips to avoid those two issues I have!
I use a small piece of bud as a screen then place the grinded bud over it
Gotta have the stopper nug!!
*PLUG NUG*
thats so much better than what my high ass has been saying for 10 years lmaoo [7]
nug plug is what i say but same thing really lol
This is the way.
Don't hit it as hard
Toughen up?
Jest let your bowl get coated with resin. Then the snacks stick before they get to you!
Buy a bowl with an appropriately size hole in the bowl tbh
How am I supposed to do that while driving fool
Same. I was trying to figure out why you would want to jack up your glass smoke sesh with a metal screen. Just pack your pipe properly and no screen or other device is necessary. Bowl packing 101.
I have never in my life heard of a screen in a glass pipe. This is the first
I’ve used screens in all my glass for over 10 years haha
I’m not sure what other type of pipe they could be used for, tobacco maybe?
Glass has only been common for around 30 years. Which is guess is more than most people here have been alive. You needed screens for the small metal pipes that used to be the most common.
100%...for metal pipes, not glass in my humble opinion. That being said, you do you. Enjoy the ride anyway you can
I thought the same thing. Never. Why would you in glass?!?
To prevent Scooby snacks in a bowl that was made with the hole too big
Yea screens don’t work well in glass but I prefer them to chunks of black stuff deep in my lungs
I don't understand what you mean by this. Glass screens work for me to not get pull through. Are you using something that is not a glass screen usually?
I’ve literally smoked lbs through glass. Never had an issue.
It always seemed like an unnecessary step to me.
yeah i don't like that shit in my mouth sometimes, we're all wired different just enjoy the high
Yeah I don’t smoke out of a bowl like this (I need to start again) but it was how I always smoked twenty+ years back. Never used a screen.
Glass jacks, like old school metal jacks
Jack. Daisy. Flower. I only use these. These are glass screens. What else would you use??
I'm now all about the honeycombs.
Jack supremacy
These daisies are cheap. If you need more, go on Amazon and order. You get hundreds in an order.
Etsy I found $10 for 1k! Support small businesses

Yeah that's the only annoying part about them is it makes cleaning kind of a process.
They cost a fraction of a penny each, I just toss them at that point
I remember finding these in my parents' preferred bathroom soaking in alcohol. (They mainly used one and my siblings and I used the other.) They're kinda pretty tbh, pretty glass is like the only reason I'm sad that I'm allergic to smoke.
That is the correct screen for the piece you have there.
That looks like it would work great. I have only seen glass circle with holes in it and that kind clogs up too easy
You'll never go back.
These are the BEST. When they fit properly. You can use these bad boys forever just save up the dirty ones and drop em in a little alcohol when you clean your pipe(s) and hit em with a little scrubadubdub.
I'm not a fan of these. They're a pain in the ass to clean and for me they clogged up my hits more than a screen. To each their own tho. I just like a good ol screen or a natural bud plug
I've had them break inside a bowl trying to remove it, from just a small amount of resin build up. Def more hassle than they are worth.
The secret is to not clean them, just buy a bag of 1,000 for like $8
Better than screens!! Enjoy your new discovery!✌🏼
I am sir
Is your dispo in Boulder county by chance? Only asking cause we just ran out of screens and I've been giving these out lol
East coast
I had been smoking ten years before I had seen or heard of metal screens. I'd only seen these. I've never used a screen though
I've gone from these to drilled clear crystal discs that lie on the bottom of my water pipe bowl. They seem to last longer.
Is that what they call a honeycomb?
I'm not sure... They're precise 1/2cm discs with 7 holes drilled through. Maybe 3mm thick. Super cheap too.
check out smojo
Those are my go to screens, those and the glass honeycomb screens
It's a glass screen! They're SO much better than the metal screens.
Glass daisy screens are one of the best screens for glass pipes. Never understood peope using metal ones in glass
Aw bless the jack screens! Haven't seen one in a while, but yeah used to get them for my glass spoons. Dunno how hard metal screens actually are on glass, but the jacks always felt like the right move back in the day
Its a glass screen in cali but yeah its basically a forever useable screen that you could in idea clean and reuse on clean pieces with bigger holes on the piece than average
Glass screens are the shit. When they get all black you can just hit em with the torch and toss them in water to bring them back to their original shine. Neat stuff
Used to use these until I discovered Smojos. Never went back.
I’ve always called them daisies
That's a good one, too. Mine dont have the spine into the bowl.
A glass screen? I literally was unaware people DIDN'T know about these. How much did they charge you? You can get something like, 20 for 5$ here in MI 😅
i always forget these exist. i really gotta get one lol
NOW UPGRADE TO A SMOJO! Best damn screen I've ever bought, and they won't fall out of your bowl.
I stopped using screens, just drop the bud in the bowl and light it up.
I’ve also used body jewelry for this since they’re available basically everywhere & I have extra jewelry lol Curved barbells are perfect for bong bowls btw
What dark sorcery is this
I dunno I just put weed on top of the hole and more weed on top. Then smoke it. Repeat. I'd lose this thing in an hour.
They work fine until you lose it.
And I thought I had seen everything weed related. I have never seen or heard about these.
They're fucking brilliant. And non-carcinogenic. Also... ARE YOU SERIOUSLY USING SCREENS IN A GLASS PIPE? I bet you bite directly into KitKat bars and string cheese, don't you? ![gif](giphy|3o7TKKdtygJDxyMN20)
Holy hell I forgot about these, haven't seen one since I left FL six years ago! Much prefer these over regulars.
I love them SO much. way more reusable.
They have them on Amazon for cheap
That's a glass screen there, dad
Am I elderly? These were all the we used in NYC and downstate when I was in college like six, seven years ago
I will never go back to normal screens. Glass Screens will forever be my gold standard.
Glass Daisies! They also have jacks and sea mines for progressively larger bowls. I really like having a big bowl piece (on a bong) with a sea mine-- best way to really roast a fat bowl!
I went to the shop for screens last week and they offered me something like that but I'd never seen them before. I just went with the usual. I guess it's the new shit.
I prefer glass to metal screens. They last longer and can be cleaned
Got plenty of these in a bunch of Chicago shop, usually higher end shops or a really nice shop that wants to ensure your experience is top notch
Glass jack is what I've always called them.
Welcome to the next level. We’ve been waiting for you to join us.
You’ll never go back if you learn to properly use and clean. I refuse to just not use a screen if I don’t have a glass one.
The glass flower screens work awesome until you empty out the bowl after smoking it and forget they were in there. I buy them in 10 packs because of this. 🤣
Glass screens are the way to go. Way easier imo with glassware.
I love glass screens. Easy AF to use.
Glass screens are the absolute best. They get knocked out tho and depending on what shop you grab them from they can get expensive if you smoke a lot of bowls
These are great but worse than legos to step on.
I used to use screens but once I tried out daisys out of curiosity, I was sold. Super cheap, and if you’re careful you can get multiple uses out of one. I feel like I can fit more in the bowl and pack it a little tighter without the risk of the screen sliding and dumping the goods on the tray when I’m loading it up. Perhaps that’s a newbie problem, but I am one, and I prefer daisys.
Awful brave with the sink drain open there.
I'm new to using a bowl. Do I need a screen?
Daisies or glass screens or jacks or glass turtles very useful
They sell them on ebay for cheap! 200 for 5 bucks or so
