with a "ratchet" head you dont need a screen just put the weed in there it will stay. if you want you could make a screen out of tin foil.

well maybe this isn't a ratchet head then. one end is wider then the other but theres still a hole the whole way through

some rachet bits have smaller holes in them, and dont need a screen, like the one i have, for ones with larger holes you have to use a faucet screen to prevent all your weed from going into the bottle

Yeah most local headshops/tobacco shops/gas stations have pipe screens. Make sure you get the right size for your bowl and it should work out just fine.

make a ball of wire and drop it in there, or find a screen somehow. you could walk into a pet store, with siccorss, and snip off some of the screening for the top of those tanks.

I was actually having this problem about 30 minutes ago and found the perfect thing. Find a sink and you should be able to unscrew a piece at the end of the faucet with your hands. When you take it off there should be a circular metal screen that's perfect. I just made the biggest bowl (big enough to fit both my pinky fingers in) and I'm going to make a 3 liter waterfall bong... should be insane.

just use aluminum foil and poke holes in it...so much easier

ok no go and get a garbage bag tie or bread tie and get all the plastic or paper that wrapped on it off now it should be like a metal wire....roll that up inito a little ball like thing and theres your screen.

if its a ratchet head you probably don't need a screen. I dont use a screen on my grav/waterfall bong. Btw my rachet head is about 1/4 in.

He's talking about a bigger socket with a hole that will definitely let loose weed fall through..

Don't use aluminum foil though, that shit is awful for you. Never use aluminum foil to smoke. Just use one of the screens out of a faucet like i was talking about, it takes about 30 seconds to get it out.

for some reason i really dont think that faucet screens are any good for you either; countless gallons of chemically infested tap water pass through them every day.

its definitely not as bad as aluminum foil, but i'm definitely not sold that it's a 'healthy alternative'
