I'm in a small, long-time hippy tourist town that has a couple of average to poor quality head shops. None of them carry beeline or any kind of lighter-alternative. The hippiest one had not even heard of such a thing. I've been thinking about starting this exact business but perhaps it would make more sense for me to distribute a product from someone else? You seem to have done the research already if it's burning better than beeline.

Are you open to developing a wholesale relationship? The packaging might need to be worked on a bit before it's ready for the retail market. I'd be open to just starting small at whatever price you need to make for it to be worth it.

I only have a little BTC to get started but I think I could make something work.

Phungus,

I would love to set something up like that. Yes, my wick burns better and tastes better than beeline.

The packaging is very homemade-looking, I agree. I purchased a bunch of these wooden tags and drew my logo on to them.
As the momentum gains with sales, I will be able to invest in getting some nice looking packaging.

If people are interested in larger bundles (50,100,200 feet) I can do that too.
PM'd you with more detail.

Thanks
Shfinkel

got mine in the mail yesterday. it's a lot thinner than beeline and burns just as slow as the thick beeline. tastes better too. thanks for the great deal and fast shipping!

Thanks a lot for the good business and positive feedback!

I love that pipe! There is a shop near me - they are carrying an artist that does similar stuff.

Maybe he is the same glass artist.

That looks so cool. Even though I don't smoke.
Can you make candles with 'em?

While you could make candles very easily with them, you could get hemp wick specifically for candle making and save money.

The hemp that makes the wick is organic, and the beeswax comes from family farms in Arcata, CA

Because the wax isn't coming from industrial apiaries, the wax burns cleaner therefore healthier for you.

As an update, I have quite a few people getting interested, so much that three are being sent out today.

I forgot to mention for international shipments, They are not completely free, around .3 btc depending on your country. I will give you a much bigger piece in return. Samples in the US are still free.

Thanks a lot,

interesting product.

but... you have to light it with something first, in order to light a cig with it?

kinda complicated...

isn't there a spark-lighter thingie you could put it in that would get it going without the hassle? like one of those WWI trench lighter knockoffs or something? brass. brass sells.

if i could take it out and make it light without having to light it with something else first, i'd probably buy one.

I would love to design some custom brass combination lighter/wick holder, but I need more momentum on the wick side of things first. That way I have money to invest. I think I even saw a custom metalworking service for BTC on the forums!

Wrap it around your pipe, or wrap it around a lighter. Makes things really easy. Grin

The intent of this product is not quick convenience, but if you've experienced it you may find its def worth the minimal extra work to light the wick with an ignition source.

That is why I will send you a sample....I will do it for free from now on....

I was wondering the same thing... I Imagine that a pipe smoker could sit with a candle burning table side, when he repacks his Pipe, he just lights the Hemp Wick from the candle, to the pipe. Thus reducing use of lighter or Matches

I'm used to paying under 10 cents a foot for beeline but you are selling it for over 25 cents a foot. you do deals on spools or anything? like a 200 ft spool for 1 btc?

I could do 200 for 1.2 BTC - the .2 just to cover shipping since I'd need to flat rate it.

Totally doable though!

Do you think that 200ft spools might be popular? If I get enough demand I will offer 200 foot spools as part of the normal "menu," as it were.

Thanks,

Do you burn the string by itself just like that? Like a really long candle?

How fast does it burn?

Yes, just burn it by itself, and hold it with the tag. Like a super long candle indeed. ;-)

It burns about 1.5 to 2 inches per minute.
If enough people like it and are interested, I can get glass wick holders - small glass vials with a cork in the top. The cork has a hollow metal tube going through the center. Put the wick in it and string it through the top, boom, you got a sexy glass lighter!
