hey. i was looking around the house for things to make a bowl out of, and i found a socket to a wrench. it is a nice size, but i put it under a flame, and all of a sudden black smoke rises from it, and it starts to turn black. the black is easily whiped off, but im wondering because i heard sockets are safe to make bowls out of, whats going on here?
U mst have some greese or somthin in ther coause tht is wht i use and it never does tht
no i dont, and i just washed it. can someone tell me if its just me. take the socket, and hold it with tweezers so you dont burn yourself. leave the flame anywere on the socket for about two seconds, and tell me if there is black smoke. please do this for me. thanks!
yeah probably grease or oil
Funny story about black smoke...
1 night of taking knife hits, my buddy is serving me up. We were taking them out of a plastic pepsi bottle. I got 100% plastic hit, cause he was ripped and got the sides baaad. I didn't even see it, and took it like a champ.. my friends told me the smoke was compeletly black, and I puked immedietly. Glass only LOL
its not grease. i just washed it and did it again. i held it, and put the flame on both ends to try, one at a time. both ends produced black smoke.
try another socket
yea, just the biproduct of the butane in your lighter......you can get a clean burning lighter and not have the black residue
yea, i thought it had something to do with the flame because the socket didnt seem as it was deteriating at all when the smoke rose. is there any "clean" flame i can use and not get this black smoke? like would matches still create this?
yea they will 2
i also noticed that when i try and do this to the side of the socket, it doesnt happen, it just makes the metal sweat. but when i do it in the socket, i guess the heat and butane collects too much and creates the whipable smoke? what flame can i put on it that doesnt make it turn black? im also guessing that then when i turn it over and just use it as a bowl, it wont create the black smoke because the flame wont be so close to it, and it wont be upside down to accumulate the butane and heat?
metal just does that dip shit :thumbsup:
no offense meant but dip shit just came to mind :hippy:

you are not gunna die from it nor get sick so dont sweat it.
it has happend to me tons of times just burning the socket for no reason. it always happens.
but think that when you are smoking the weed you dont need to hold the lighter for more than one second. bcs by then the bowl is going to be alredy lit.
so just go ahead and smoke your magical herb that we all love =]:thumbsup: :rasta:
The flame on a ligher does not burn clean thus it is orange and the black smoke/ the black crud is just the impurites in the smoke
Nah, black smoke is a good thing. :p
Not hard to figure out here.
uh...really?Quote:

just go buy a fuckin glass bowl. if you dont got $20 go steal it from your mom. damn its not that hard. if you can find weed in your town, you can find someone willing to part with a bowl.
once you get it all resined up, it wont matter, you will be burning that, instead of whatever may be on the metel so toke it up
its cool any kind of metal does that the socket is your friend
