Torching wick? Do you have to rinse wick off after?

[steven445]

I just got done torching my wick and then forgot to rinse it after and I put it in my rba, is their any chemicals from the flame of the Butane torch? I only vaped the wick for 5 minutes before I started thinking about it and it did taste a little burnt.
I am a little worried about it now lol.
I stopped vaping for the moment, if so I guess I have to take it out and wash the wick?
Thanks for any help!
I just want to stay safe.

I don't think so, I usually give mine a pre burn before I roll it, to remove any contaminants. Although, I know a lot of people quench their wicks, but I figure that's just to speed up the process, I'll normally just torch it, juice burn it and give it a minute to cool before wrapping it. Maybe someone can give you a better answer, but I think you should be just fine.

Thanks I was a little worried about it.
I would think a lot of people do this.
