wtf you don't need a screen... as long as the bud doesn't fall through the hole your fine. and DON'T use aluminum, WTF?! that shit causes alzheimers!
yeah you don't NEED a screen but if you try hitting it and you start sucking through a lot of bud and/or ash you might want one... quite a few gas stations and asian corner stores around here sell little packs of screens for a dollar, you can check that out a small pebble like stephen suggested works great and wont taste nasty like a screen
ahh gotcha. i wont use a screen at first, just to try it. and ill use pebbles later on if the "no screen" thing doesnt work.
Don't use window screen that shit is toxic. Trust me, I worked at a hardware store for 3 years and I fixed screen doors/windows. When I was bored I would burn it with blowtorches and shit and the smell was not healthy at all. I'd just grab a small pebble, rinse it in hot water and toss it in the bottom of the bowl.
pebbles are the greatest. i was on my way to smoke with my friend at the library with a waterfall, and i realized i didnt have a screen for the socket halfway there. at a stop light i just hopped out and grabbed a small rock on the road and it worked perfect.
ok well I answered your question already but here it is again. If you go to the faucet in the bathroom or kitchen there is usually a screen inside of it. They make awesum screens, try twisting the end of the faucet to get it off. Also like peac & rasta said use aluminum foil and poke little holes in it with a safty pin. Also if your ever at home depot, Lowes or even hardware dept. at wal mart, in the kitchen stuff they sell packs of the "faucet screens".
yep aluminum foil does taste like shit but somethimes you gotta use it. I used to have a pipe with a huge fucking bowl and I had to use some type of screen in it.
aluminum is ok to use like... once or twice but by no means is a permanent solution, unless you want to not remember your children's names of course.
Yea or when i would have a lot of shake and no nugs, i would sometimes grab a small stem and plug some of the hole so no shake would fall through and then when it was almost beat id ash it instead of smoking the stem... and hey marksup123.. the mars volta was one of the craziest concerts ive ever been to.
^^ i just use a less broken up bit of pot. bam. there you go. i have friends who complained about using stems. bunch a sissies.
it doesn't cause alzheimers, there is no conclusive study on this. though it probably is unhealthy, it's better than sucking ash into your mouth, that's a lot worse. or sucking weed in, to properly hit a bowl you need to grind the weed. you can always use a torn off bit of rolling paper for a 1 bowl screen.
^ how is sucking ash into your mouth worse than smoking aluminum foil? really? a lot nastier shit goes into your mouth on a minutely basis than ash. and here's a simple solution: DON'T SUCK LIKE A VACCUUM CLEANER! @J311- heeelll yeah! i was baaasically in the front row. best night eeeever !
