IIRC Brass is not a desirable material for smoking implements. I believe that when brass is heated hot enough (ie with a lighter) it can produce thread-like particles which affect the lungs much like asbestos. Don't ask me how I know this... I may be wrong on this, but just a heads up. BTW, my first post here on THR, and I like it already!
If there was a constant direct flame I might be a bit more concerned, but I make sure everything is super-cleaned, and they never get hot enough to even melt the silver solder again, and cool down pretty quickly.
