Will tobbacoo screw up a color changer?

Will tobbacoo screw up a color changer? just wondering.

 

How do they get those colors in there? What is responsible for the "color change" effect? -

Small pieces of metal (usually silver and/or gold) are held in the flame of the torch until vaporized (often called 'fuming'). The glass is rotated in this vapor stream until a fine layer of the vaporized metal is visible on the surface of the glass. After this, clear glass is applied (often in 'dots' and 'lines') to 'encase' the vaporized metal in between layers of glass. There are many techniques and methods of applying the fumes and clear glass making a myriad of different colors, and endless types of patterns that one can come up with. The colors produced with fumed metals are best when they are translucent, vibrant, and reflective. As the pipe darkens with use, the colors (many barely visible) become darker and much more conspicuous, thus causing the appearance of 'color change' (the glass doesn't really change colors though).

So no I wouldnt think so.

 

yeah I think tobacco would have the same effect as weed.

 

Yes, the effect is the same with tobacco.
As Mushy said, gold and silver are used in coloring, as are several other metals/minerals.
Mushy, Are you into lamping?

 

They are "tobacoo pipes" at least in every shop I've ever gotten one in.

 

The real purpose of a color changer is to smoke tobacco out thats what the shops really sell them for so i dont understand how tobacco could screw up the pipe it should do the same thing as weed.

 

I think what makes it change color is the heat of the smoke. Nothing to do with the material.

 

It'll probably look a little difference 'cause of tobacco resin. I've heard before that if you smoke tobacco out of it, though, it'll clog quick and it's a lot harder to get it out than marijuana resin.

 

Generally tobacco clogs quicker with a wood pipe. But you have to clean it out every time you smoke to keep it good, so you don't really notice it. It probably won't be a problem with the glass.

 

No, the way a colour-changing pipe works is that material fills in and makes a sort of dark background where the colour on the interior of the pipe is allowed to be viewed clearly from outside.

My colour changing pipe is starting to show fairly well, and I haven't smoked but 45 or so bowls of tobacco in it. It seems that it is much slower at colouring the pipe in.

 

No I wish. I might get into it if I can find a decent class. Here at a community college they have a class. Im not sure if Im old enough to take it though. I may check into it.

 

Yeah, check it out... its really kewl and the things you can make are only limited to your imagination. Pipes are ok but there's so much more.
