What screens do is very simple, they keep your weed in the bowl and out of the chamber or downstem. But, they are not all the same, so there are different types of screens so you can choose what is the best for you.

For instance, glass screens work perfectly as they fit any pipe or bong and do the job. Also, brands make them in beautiful colors and designs, so they catch your attention as soon as you see them. And, they are made of borosilicate glass, so they are resistant to fire and won’t break easily.

Another type is the mesh screens, they are the cheap option and work as well as glass screens, although, you must replace them more often. Still, mesh screens are made for your bong so they fit your bong or pipe perfectly.

Also, there are bowls with built-in screens like the Invincibowl, a 14 mm bong bowl with a proprietary mesh that has no rival on the market. You can extend and retract it from 3 inches to 6 inches, so it fits any bong. And, its mesh won’t clog or dislodge when discharging ashes. Just tap it and debris will be gone.

It is the only bowl or screen you will ever need. The Invincibowl not only keeps your weed in the bowl and out of the water, but it is simply unbreakable. It is made from aerospace-grade aluminum, and comes with a lifetime guarantee!

And, when it is time to clean it, it will be much easier. Besides, screens prevent the ashes from clogging when discharging them from the bowl.

As you see, investing those few extra dollars can do a lot for you. Are you planning to have a session soon? Don’t do it without a proper screen, you deserve better.
