Hey, im kinda new to the forum (not new to smoking though). I have mostly just been reading posts that apply to me and this is my first post. I have a few questions, so if you could help me out that would be great. I am underaged and their are no head shops in my area, so I usually must make my own pipes, bongs, etc. I have heard that aluminum foil and copper can cause brain damage, but also heard that they are fine. Anyone know which one is true? Ive pretty much got down how to make bongs and stuffs, but its the pipes (and I cant roll a j to save my life) that kill me. Any advice? Thanks alot...
i have no -*positive*- answer for you but i wouldnt smoke out of aluminum foil sorry i couldnt help ya much
i dunno either but you basically don't have many alternatives other than getting someone who is 18 to buy you a piece or learning how to roll j's.
Hey man, I don't know how valid this is, but I heard that aluminum is the same chemical linked with alzheimers deseis and thats why you should not smoke out of tin floil pipes. I'm not backing that, I just heard it. Later bro.
well i dunno about the metals, but if ya want some ideas for bongs i can help ya out there. i was in the same situation once and had to get creative. I'll assume you know what a bucket is when i describe the first one. We call it the "Victimizer". Need: 1 2L pop bottle 1 1L pop bottle bowl from metal pipe its really pretty simple, cut the top off the 2L where the label ends and cut the bottom off the 1L at the bottom of the label. the trickiest part is putting the bowl of the pipe in the lid of the 1L and ya gotta be careful not to cut yourself (but you probably will at least once). Then once you got it in, fill the 2L about 3/4 full with water and you got yourself a victimizer. Have fun! (when we made the first one just for fun we had people sign it after we hit them with it. let me know how it goes if ya make it)
i got some more for ya if ya want. there's one i call "frost bite". this one only requires a 2L. you fill the 2L with water just up to the top of the bottom part. you once again put the bowl in the lid of the 2L and cut a hole about half way up the side of the 2L. then you can do one of two things. you can freeze it and use some sort of tube (we used an empty pen) to jap in the hole once we froze the water, or what we were trying to perfect was a tube that went through the frozen water and poked up out the top of the ice without the tube pinching together under the ice. never quite got that method working. the other works just fine though. Let me know if ya want more. happy toking.
hey if ya want ideas go to the show your piece and check out the homemade contest there's some crazy shit up in there
i really doubt it, i used aluminum foil/soda can ghetto peices for awhile before my cousins got me a glass bowl. Id back the fact thats its not the best thing for you but theres no way it causes serious brain damage. Someone on some other thread has mentioned buying eye droppers, removing the rubber peice, and smoking through the glass so i think this would be the best if you dont want to use aluminum foil. Copper isnt good because it has a low specific heat capacity, meaning it gets hot fast.
oh yea... i used cans for almost a year straight because i was a broke mother fucker, i would only use glass or metal with friends so yea, i dont think i have brain damage
