Copper pipe?

Is it safe to make a bowl or pipe out of copper?

no.

Don't do it.
Ceramic, glass, stone, stainless steel= all non-reactive and SAFE.

Qustion: Why would you want to make one out of copper any way?

Wood is good and easily worked.

Stay away from copper. Use brass instead. Steel is good too, but gets hot QUICK!

get glass

Thanks, I got a nice brass pipe now. Glass is too easy to break the way I use my pipes lol.

Is it ok to use the solid aluminum bowls that usually come on cheap ceramic bongs?

I know aluminum foil is bad, but how about a piece of solid aluminum ?

copper can give you lockjaw if you inhale its fumes, definittly dont use it.

Thats wierd.. I got a pipe from jamacia thats copper

arent some screens made of copper or did i just make that up in my head?

yeah they normally sell copper or steel screens at most head shops...but thats a screen not a bowl...and i can tell the difference in taste between steel and copper screens and id much rather have steel so idk if id really wnna smoke a copper pipe...maybe if u had some dankass weed in there id take a hit or two just because the herb was that good but def not on a reg basis

i love bongs n pipes i got unto amounts of both (youve seen the pics of chisme's collection ) but i ate the mettalic taste when smoking from them(mainly pipes) thats why i stick mainly to joints :D

I've never seen a copper screen, only steel and brass ones.
Please don't use copper or aluminum for pipes people.

yeah stinky thats what it is my bad...haha brass thats like a copperish color too right? hell if i no...

Yeah they are both soft, colored metals but brass is yellower and has a bit more resistance to tarnish- it's an alloy. Copper is a pure elemental substance, as is aluminum; both are quite prone to oxidation.

oh well there u go, so i was mistaken all along i coulda sworn those screens my buddy had were copper...but i venture to say they were brass...doubt a headshop would sell u screens that arent safe for u to smoke with

you could end up inhaling copper oxide or something, which will fuck you up something awful. just get a brass piece and a glass piece. use the brass when your on the go and the glass at home.

I always thought the screens they sold were copper too. Guess not.

But as for aluminum, I am almost certain that some cheaper metal pipes have aluminum parts. I think one of the pipes I had had an aluminum bowl cap.
