[Kappy]So I posted on youtube asking people what their preferred choice of filter is, and I would like to hear your opinions as well. Personally, I hate metal screens but the glass filters always get lost or clog my bowls.

Any beefs or recomendations?If you like one over the other tell me why and what type (ex: brass metal filters, titanium metal filters, jack glass filters or flower glass filters...etcetc)

[karma]Brass is the tampon of screens, use once and toss away :/ Never tried titanium but stainless works great. I use glass stars in my glass equipment because it just makes sense, without a good resin buildup stainless screens have the tendancy to jump out of conical glass bowls. Every year or so I buy a couple hundred stainless screens in bulk but glass never dies.

[khyberkitsune]I either use jack glass filters or an ashcatcher.

[Cypher]Chopped up a stainless mesh tea infuser about a year ago... has lasted ever since. A bit heavier gage than a standard pipe screen, and has been bent to perfectly match the curvature of my piece, meaning I'm not sacrificing any volume to a shallow screen. It's DIY and ugly, but works great if cleaned every 3-5 bowls.
