i have a metal bowl a friend gave to me and it has a pretty big hole in it and it dosen't have a screen. in the past i have taken screens from my basement sink but if i take any more it will change the way the water flows out. i was wondering if any one could tell me where to get a screen or other alternatives thanks!

at the hardware store they have screens in the faucet section, its called an aerator, it comes in a little package of 2 probably, theyre perfect for bowls

yea but aluminum is bad for your health when its burned, over time it promotes alsheimers, or so ive heard

Yeah, you can get metal window screens for a couple of bucks, and that's enough to make 500 screens, but you have to measure and cut them yourself.

window screens have a real sharp taste to them, I suggest head shop

usually places like osco have them for cigar pipes and stuff

same happened to me so i started taking them from my grandpa's sinks. look around your garage. my dad has a box full of pluming and sink parts and there are allways lots of screens there.

are ppl really that hard up not to use the proper instruments for smoking weed? if you can smoke weed you can fuckin buy screens...go to a headshop and get your metal/glass screens and stop looking for ways to skimp on your God given right to smoke pot!

That's why I like one-hitters. I can't stand smoking the resin off of a screen after a fresh bowl. Well, not exactly smoking the resin of the screen but it will give flavor to your bud. If anything goes through the one-hitter, it will collect in the tube. But, there is no reason to spark a burnt-out bowl because all of the active-cannibinoids have been depleted, and lots of them by hitting the weed with the lighter.

the thing is that i'm not 18 so head shop or cosco is out of the question.

I'd say go to a headshop. If you choose instead to find screens around, 'specially window screens, make sure they aren't fiberglass screens first. I'd say just go to the nearest headshop around and buy a few, or get a glass piece and some glass screens until the resin builds up enough to take care of it for ya. Good luck, have fun, and if you got nothing else from what I said, make SURE IT'S NOT A FIBERGLASS SCREEN FIRST lol

Sorry, a lil' high right now so I didn't even notice this before I first posted. Eh, you could always just use a bigger nug of weed each time to keep the smaller bits of weed from falling in, but just remember not to hit it that hard. :D

What's your decision? Are you going to get a screen or a one-hitter? Whatever, can't you get someone to go in and make the purchase? Or no. Can you chalk your I.D.? Or no. I forgot the original purpose of this thread, because I spent so much time typing this in and then accidentally erasing it. Get someone to buy a little tiny personal bong (about six inches (inch wide, or so)) and take the little bowl that comes with it, usually a one-hitter, then you can use that bowl for most of your pipes.

it might be to late but you should put a lighter up to the screen for about 10 secs or longer becuz it burns off chmeiclas.
