screening a glass pipe, help!!

[voodoochild0972]

i have been having a hard time keeping my pipe screen from falling out of my glass pipe, how do you keep it in? help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!

Um.....don't hold the pipe upside down.

if you put the screen in your pipe and the bowl is up gravity should do a WONDERFUL job of keeping the screen in there. sorry to be a smart ass but come on.

if you're still having problems maybe push the screen down into the bowl with a pen or pencil so that it conforms to the shape of the bowl.


just a thought......:wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

It may be too big for the pipe. You may need to cut it a little bit so you can get it farther down? I have only used a screen a few times. But I had to make mine smaller the one time I put one in. I find a nice sized nug at the bottom works much better than a screen.

Use a big chunk of green for the screen.

then when you get to the end you will still suck the ash through, thats why i use screens.


and it really shouldn't matter if its too big, screens are very flexible. i think its lack of intelligence at work here or something.

well i mean it stays in fine while smoking but like when i had a metal pipe, it stayed in and you would really have to make an effort to take it out but with a glass pipe, if i put it in my pocket, it will come out. i want something that will stay in.

after you smoke at least 1 or two bowls it should be in there for good, just dont scrape the bowl every time you're done smoking and it will stay in there.

i dont see what the problem is, mine has fallen out in my pocket before but its just a screen i have a bag of around 1000 of them that i got for like $5 on ebay.

but if your bowl has some resin in it the screen will stay put.

i know this is a little off topic, srry, but ive always wondered r those screens toxic when burned and inhaled\?

I hardly ever get ash in my mouth using that method. It's really simple. When you know it is almost gone, you just inhale slower and not as hard.

Yeah, head shops sell little glass spurs that are designed to act as screens in glass pipes.

I use one in my bubbler with finely broken up buds. Hits soo nice. metal +glass = no
