All About The Brockton
The Brockton Mk2 is a unique, high-quality, medical grade brass product. Harkening back to the style of the 20th century, our accessory evokes a feeling of quality and class. However, its design is also incredibly modern and ideal for those who choose to indulge today. With a functional, yet beautiful design, The Brockton Mk2 makes delighting in the ritual more fashionable than ever.
What it’s Made Of
As our name will tell you, we love brass. It’s not merely the look and feel of brass that we’re fans of—it’s the durability it offers, too. There’s nothing more disappointing than investing money in what should be a quality accessory to have it eventually crack or shatter. Luckily, with our chrome-plated brass accessories, that will never be an issue.
What You Need To Know About Brass
Brass is entirely safe to heat and store. In fact, it’s one of the safest metal options out there. That’s precisely why we use this material, because you’ll never have to worry when using our products. The Brockton Mk2 is made of chrome-plated brass that is both brilliant and durable. Our accessory is made of highest quality brass and will safely stand the test of time while maintaining its vivid shine.
How to Use The Brockton Mk2
Upgrading your session is easy with The Brockton Mk2. Our accessories incorporate several different features that make enjoying your flower effortless. Below we’ll cover everything you need to know about using it.
Lighting The Brockton Mk2
Traditional accessories have an open bowl that you light from the top. Unfortunately, this can lead to several issues. The first is that you can burn yourself and the second is that your goods can blow away if the conditions aren’t right. With The Brockton, you don’t have to worry about these problems. Our brass accessory is designed to light from the bottom and make your sessions more relaxing.
Lighting from the bottom means three important things:
- You won’t burn your fingers during the process.
- The flower lights more evenly allowing for a full-bodied experience.
- Your goods stay right where you want them.
If you’re not accustomed to lighting from the bottom, it’s a good idea to tilt The Brockton Mk2 to one side to guide your light. For those who prefer the traditional lighting method, you can still light up from the top. Simply slide The Brockton’s lid to one side and light.
Delighting in The Brockton Mk2
The Brockton’s design is versatile, making it ideal for anyone looking to delight in the ritual. Enjoy a more relaxed session with The Brockton’s comfortable triple-magnetic lid feature. When conditions may be a bit precarious, due to the weather or location, the magnetic lid keeps your stuff in place. Furthermore, if you prefer to indulge at your own pace, setting this accessory down on a flat surface and closing the lid prevents the contents from burning any further. This keeps the goods intact and ensures that you can keep your session going at a later time.
How to Care for Your Accessory
Now that you know all about brass and how to use The Brockton, how can you keep it clean? Here are some pointers on how to keep your accessory in excellent condition.
Cleaning The Brockton
- First of all, you’ll need to remove anything still inside by turning the accessory upside and allowing what’s inside to fall out.
- After that, you can use a chenille stem to remove any of the more stubborn material stuck inside.
- No doubt there will still be some grime stuck inside the accessory. So, you’ll need to soak it in 90% isopropyl alcohol for a few hours to break down any leftover gunk.
- With the stubborn materials gone, you can focus on shining your brass. Fortunately, there are plenty of things you can shine brass with. Some of our favourites are club soda or a mixture of vinegar and soft water. Apply your cleaner of choice to a soft cloth and gently rub it over the tarnished brass.
- Rinse with water and then buff your accessory until dry.
Depending on how often you use your gear, you may want to repeat this process once every few months or even twice a year.
Time to Enjoy
We believe that your ritual shouldn’t be rushed. When the demands of modern life get to be too much, it’s vital to have some time to yourself to decompress and enjoy the smaller moments. Our accessories are classic and uncomplicated so that you can savour your next session without any hangups. Kick off your shoes, disconnect from the world, and delight in the ritual with The Brockton Mk2.
