[MEGA] Home-made/repaired pipes, bongs and vapes.

Lol fosho man.


I got a beaker specifically because I thought it'd be less likely to tip over compared to a round bottom. But I could be wrong.
Tbh I'm just fucking excited for my first bong :D

No, that's not cyanide. A small number of plastics can produce a bit of cyanide, but most do not, and none do in quantity. Cyanide doesn't smell like burning plastic, either - cyanide smells like almonds.
Not that you don't get nasty stuff when heating plastics... i mean, PVC will release nasty PCB-like compounds, lots of stuff will release other chemicals (bisphenol-a from polycarbonate), and so on. Oh, and hydrochloric acid, some of the chlorinated polymers produce that in significant quantities too, though you have to be damned near burning them. The fumes from hot plastic are not something you want to breathe.

Clean aluminum is fine (safe) to smoke from. Some aluminum foil will smoke when heated (crap on the foil burning off), and aluminum foil that gets directly hit by flame usually doesn't fare too well.

Plastic should never be used in a smoking device except for as the chamber (water-filled part) of a bong, and only if the point where the bowl enters is below the water line (to keep the plastic cool).

Aluminum is fine, as is clay (not plastic-clay, real clay), wood*, stone*, and of course glass.

It's so cheap to get small glass pipes, and they taste so much better than even a really nice pipe of another material, i really don't understand why people still smoke non-glass pieces.


*Barring obvious exceptions, like a pipe carved out of realgar or asbestos (actually, this would be fine once it got filth'ed up with resin...), or a wooden bowl carved out of a particularly thick poison ivy stem (it can reach up to an inch in diameter easy, so this is theoretically possible).
 
the butane is what hurts you more than the smoke
solution : hemp wick, light wick, use wick to light a healthy bowl ,
when you become more aware of spiritual energy you realize that what you experience is not delusion but is delusional to live away from higher awareness, and knowing the difference, and then you will see simply the innate basis of what what is , and what what is is doing to you
and what butane lighters are is that you inhale a stream of toxic chemicals into your brain by lighting a bowl with a lighter

smoke inhalation is not groovy anyway , vaporizers are better, not purely clean
oral cannabis is the holy way of ancient past you get higher and higher and higher over hours, deep meditation, how high do you want to be ? smoke can't take you there , oral can take you , perhaps .... the sky is the limit.

No dude, just no. Your hippy bullshit doesn't fly here. Do some research and post proof that burning some organic material to light a bowl is better than butane, which pretty much totally burns away. Then maybe you can carry on with your hippy meditation bullcrap.

I wasn't talking about burning or melting plastic anyway. The OP which I was responding to asked if smoke simply being in contact with plastic could somehow leach out neurotoxins.

Where did this ridiculous fad spring from? Smoke is harmful, water and carbon dioxide (the products of burning butane) are not. Someone is doing very well out of selling hemp wick.
 
Your enemy with regards to the combustion products of the method used to light the bowl (butane vs hemp wick) is partial-combustion products.

Butane burns quite cleanly, assuming the lighter is adjusted correctly.

Hemp, or any other plant material, tends to burn less cleanly (notice that trail of black smoke?), and so is worse for you.

Either way, the contribution from the means of ignition is _tiny_ compared to that of the stuff you're actually smoking.

That has got to be the stupidest thing ive heard all day. Burning random organic compounds instead of a clean burning gas. The fuck are they teaching kids these days 8(
 
Lol or maybe I should get a metal pipe
