Yeah if your using it for weed I would take a hit ti see what its like then most likely brake that filter off. I love the hardcore taste of a good joint.
I have two metal and one glass pipe that I bought the other day. I only used my glassy once. It was so smooth, even with shitty weed. I used both my metal pipes and have screens in both. One is a small bowl small pipe. The other is long, Its rips up anything you put in it. That thing cherrys...
