Smoking out of alum?

[Buck268]

Is fairly harmess, right? I mean, I could swear I've seen 'em sell aluminum bowls before....

I ask because I just made a sweet pipe out of an old, extra mini-mag lite, and it smokes fucking NICE :cool: But leaves a weird taste in my mouth... Maybe its just been that long since I've smoked from a metal piece :rolleyes: :D

But leaves a weird taste in my mouth...

it's harmless and that's all i've ever experienced.

I've smoked out of my fair share of tin tokers and gravity bong caps. If aluminum foil is bad for you, fuck.

[slipknotpsycho]

aluminum is dangerous.

[bitchiwillslice]

aluminum kills?

[Buck268]

aluminum is dangerous.


But is billet aluminum dangerous? Mini-mags are made from billet, which is quite different than foil. Actually, they might even be annodized, I'm gonna check that out...

Oh hell yes, Mag-Lites are fully anodized inside and out!

Could you post a picture of the pipe, or tell me how to make one?

[wbs5150]

Gravity caps are usually made with sockets which are stainless steel. Stainless isn't harmful

[Buck268]

I will, but I must encourage you to take a look at a mag lite, and think about it. Your first thought may center on the reflector, but remember its shiny, but its plastic ;)

Hint: I used a standard (1/2" IIRC) brass screen. There is a black plastic piece your gonna wanna pull out from where the bulb is. Just pry is out, it pops out fine.

Best part is, this is fully reversable for travel or such

lol my brother made a steam roller from one of the 6 D-Cell maglights....al i can say about that one is ......GODDAMN

i smoke outa aluminum pipes everytime i go out if i dont have papers

[TrojanMan]

its glass or nothin..... by nothin i mean whatever i can smoke out of.

[az666]

so its safe to smoke outa mad lights then??

[Buck268]

It would seem so, being they are fully anodized...

Trojanman, I'm a glass man myself, its just I go through glass pieces kinda quick (especially during the summer). I wanted a non-breakable pipe to keep around as back-up, plus a mini-mag pipe that doesnt look like anything but a flashlite is kinda sweet...

[slipknotpsycho]

yea a friend of my wife had one too....i forgot to mention it....they are pretty sweet but they clog with resin easily (especially if you are smoking some high grade shit)

[BUZz UK]

theres an old thread called 'FOIL!' somewhere on this board, that pretty much says it all

[slipknotpsycho]

the whole point is it's annodized or whatever...i'm not sure of exactly what that is but i know they do it to metal pipes and stuff you'd buy at a head shop to make them safe to smoke out of ...........so it's not the same thing.

[TrojanMan]

I hear ya buck. Broken pipes dont smoke very well
