Aluminum Smoke?

[otk]

As you might know, aluminum is not good to smoke, and therefore should now be used to make a bowl(for smoking out of). Because of this, I decided I should look to something else to make one with. The only problem is, the two things I have tried so far; a screen and a metallic pen top, both ended up melting the plastic of the bottle cap, which is where I need the bowl(waterfalls).

My question is this: If I put aluminum on the bottle cap to block the heat, but use the pen cap for the actual bowl, will the heat from the pen cap cause the aluminum to smoke(ie. will it make a difference to just using an aluminum bowl)?

i dont think it would. Buy one of those pipes with the screw on bowl, thats what i did .

try burning the aluminum foil prior to smoking with it...that way any fumes that would come from it will already be extracted. in other words, burn it until it theres none left to burn.

or just spend 20 bucks on a used glass piece.

Go carve a bowl out of wood... won't melt the plastic.. won't killl you

Use a 5-10 mm socket wrench. It's what I had on my waterfall. If you can't find one in your house, which I doubt will happen, just go to you local hardware store and buy one.

shit, I smoked out of aluminum cans for years, and I'm ok.

Sockets are the best, Ive used hundreds in my life lol.

The danger in smoking out of aluminum foil has nothing to do with residues being burnt off, it produces no extra smoke, unless the foil has some extra layer of some sort which is rare. What does happen is when aluminum is heated, it realeses ions, so you are breathing ionized air, or O^3 better known as Ozone. The damage is not immediate, it is a long term, lung and throat cell mutating process.

And no, Tin is not a safer alternative.

I have smoked out of countless hundreds, possibly thousands of aluminum foil bowls, and Im still fine, but I know what Im doing to myself lol. Incidently, those Ionic Breezes that filter air so effectively release much more ozone than smoking out of aluminum foil, which I find humorous.

I think we'll all be ok.
