The inside of my stem is a little rusty... could this be harmful to me?
yes
well in a pipe i would say yess. i have a gravity b thast rusting but thast because of the water so is not really harmfull, jsut try to make sure the rust isnt burning.
It won't do no harm if you smoke out of it a few times, just try to get a new pipe!
yea the bowl isn't rusting, it's just the stem so it wont be burning. Man, i wish i could just get a real bong.
Just because the flame isn't against the rust doesn't mean its not getting hot... best to find a new pipe asap.
It seems to me that would be somewhat similar to cutting yourself on a rusty piece of metal...except you're inhaling it and...what goes in your lungs is passed to your blood.
You could always try and tell us first hand though, as an experiment.
well, i have two pipes... one is steel(i think) and rusty and one is copper. which one would be less harmful do you think.
The glass one.
(Or the one without the rust)
rust is entirely harmless. when you cut yourself with a rusty nail, you are getting infected with tetanus not rust.
smoke the rust and we'll see you on the news later next week
i tell you what you can do....get some WD-40 and spray it on there...let it set for a few hours, get a really stiff coarse wire brush and brush it and brush it until the rust is gone. after that clean that fucker reallllly good with soap and water. burn it til it gets really fuckin hot, wash it really good again then dry it with q-tips .....if you manage to get all the rust gone it should be fine
i still say just buy skins, they dont rust.
Just don't worry man, it will be okay for a few uses. God only knows what some stoners have smoked out of! I have my fair share of devices I've tried before I had glass.
I got a nasty ass homemade pipe to not rusty though I need to buy a real one
man home made pipes are the best. there cheap. make them how u want. usaly no mater how much u sell them for u usaly make money.Quote:

good point man
man i wish i had a real pipe. all i have is soda can pipe (which suck), foil pipes which again suck, and a home made bong. i cant wait till my friend turns 18 than ill get a glass pipe
man dont smoke that fucking rust are you crazzy? me and my bud packed 2 homemade pipes and the difference between them is that his had rust in it and mine was normal metal. and i shit you not right after he started smoking he was having very bad chest problems. now this could not be from the rust but what else could have caused it you know
better safe than sorry=new piece asap

I guess that answers your question :p
ok i understand that kinda thing....but most people aren't reproducing stuff that has been sold before.....in that respect i've sold glass beer bottle bongs before too made with real bong peices.....but when i think of homemade bong on here i get this picture in my head : 2 liter wtih some kind of tubing for the shaft, lots of tape/hotglue, and aluminum foil for the bowl....
