Fire Safety

Hell is Hot

You best believe that the gallery here in hell stays hot, with fresh drops and mountains to burn there’s an endless supply of heat to consider. As you build your collection know that the key to longevity is fire safety.

Lucifer will be the first to tell you that getting burned is not an option. Be it on the streets or in the sesh there are simple safeguards that can be lifesaving.

Take your Time

Keeping your self and loved ones safe is top priority so knowing your limits while consuming is first. If you find yourself too affected- enjoy the ride and take some time before torching up the next dab or bowl.

Lighter Safety

When using any lighter confirm that the flame is completely extinguished before diverting focus. Have a clear surface where you are seshing free of animals and clutter. Make sure that blazers are not facing the wall!

Do not store lighters, torches or butane canisters in direct sunlight or areas subject to high temperatures.

Other Options to Consider

Consider torch free options like an e-nail, heat wand or digital rig as alternatives. But know that when treated with respect fire is your friend.
