sorry i cant get pictures, ok i just made a bong out of a coconut, and the tube is a foot long pvc pipe painted red yellow and green and it has this bob marley sticker on it, and the bowl/slide mechanism is a copper bowl connected to a bamboo reed type thing, its completely airtight and everything, and the smoke kinda tastes like coconuts

pvc isnt healthy, if you used something else it'd def sound like a kick ass bong....wait, i thought copper is bad too...sounds like a good idea though

Hot smoke activates chemicals in the PVC piping that in turn releases carcinogenic smoke. It's best not to use PVC. Copper will also react to the smoke and release cancer causing smoke.

copper realeases very very toxic fumes when heated,pvc also releases toxins,but as long as NO heat is applied then it is fine,smokeing out of copper for long peiriods(5-6 months) can cause serious health problems,ditch that bowl right away

copper does not react to smoke,when a flame is applied copper vaporizes,thats what that black film is,and not only are you inhaleing copper but many toxins are realeased during the combustion.

yea i kinda realized the toxic stuff, the bowl part that heat is applied to isnt copper but its covered in copper, and it doesnt touch the flame but yeah i switched the the pvc pipe for a bamboo tube and its like a million times awesomer, now its like an island bong

sounds awsome,but a copper coating is acctualy worse for you,it means an adhesive may have been added,and copper does vaporive at near the same tempature weed combusts,so even weed burning is it will activate the toxins,if you can i'd recomend getting a new bowl,if not then(and this may take several days)vaporize the copper,it will get thinner and thiner but like i said it will take a very very long time(and we all know stoners are imapatiant :) )
