anything wrong with rust

we have a hardware store made bong and the stem has a little rust looking residue on it is this a hazard for me to toke out of?

 

No,Smoke cant pickup rust.

 

and make sure you dump your water when your done smokin so this doesnt happen again

 

scrape teh rust off and keep it out of the bongwater if you want to be safe. not too hard. use coke hehe

 

this is why glass rules all

 

hmmm, rust particles being sucked into your lungs, lovely....

throw the farkin' thing away before yer give yerself a blood infection

 

Agreed.

 

get the rust off and paint it so it don't rust more. but any way it will not hurt u!

 

you know the reason your blood is red is because of teh same reasons rust is iron and oxygen

unless your talkin about .. aluminium rust? which is white and doesnt pose a problem, or brass rust? which doesnt happen i dont think, what is your piece made of?

 

You should post a pic if you can. If it's just something you threw together from the hardware store, I'm sure you can be resourceful and fix it or make a new device. Reguardless of if you find from an internet forum full of druggies whether or not rust is harmful, do you really want to even worry about it and have your smoking device look all shabby?

 

speak for yourself

 

I'm a welder for a living. Aluminum doesn't "rust", although it does oxidize just like many other things such as plastic, metal, etc. Rust is a slang term for iron oxide, which is what forms when iron comes in contact with oxygen. When aluminum oxidizes (comes in contact with oxygen) it forms a very thin protective barrier that actually protects the aluminum. So if his piece is rusting then its made of steel, and that would deffenetly not be my first choice for a bong, because its gets quite dirty and rusty. I weld the stuff all day and breath in fumes, but I still wouldnt want to be inhaling off a steel bong especially one with rust on it. Theres a reason everything in the food industy is made of stainless steel or aluminum.

 

u could always get a solid golden bong then there would never be rust but thats only if ur uber rich

 

rust isnt slang.

but yeh why did this guy use steel? doesnt make much sesne.

what the ell was wrong with a plastic bottle? lol

 

I prefer lead bongs.

 

if only i could afford it
