if you have those ipod headphones and you wont miss them, take the metal screen off each earpeice, theyre about the size of a penny and fit nicley in ratchet bits and most bowls.
eww burnt earwax
you can get the same screens at a headshop (which you'd have to be 18 to buy from them) at the hardware store for cheaper and don't have to be 18 there.
goddamn you gotta be 18 to buy from a headshop? What the hell... its not like the drug store asks me if the girl i'm going to be fucking is of legal age when i buy condoms from them.
Just head to your nearest headshop and pick some up. My headshop sells 5 screens for 25 cents on the dot. Not too bad. They giv it to you in a nice little baggy to. :D
lol thats because headshops are suppose to be for tobbacco, tobbacco law is 18, therefore any place selling stuff for tobbacco=18Quote:

I thought about it. A butane lighter really isnt hot enough to vapourize any aluminum, so smoking out of an aluminum pipe cant give you alzheimers. The only thing to worry about would be extra coatings on aluminum foil, which if they can vapourize, one can easily burn them off before smoking.Quote:
Since a toxicologist is out there, what about using aluminum pipes or
aluminum foil for burning resins, is there an Alzheimers disease link?
Some years ago a scare went out that cooking with aluminum pots could
cause the disease, although I think that was later discredited.

This is NOT true - it is an 'urban legend' (at least in parts of
europe). You
will not be able to achieve toxic levels of copper 'fumes' by smoking
marijuana
or hashish in pipes made of this material. Not with the usual alloys of
brass
and bronze either, unless they contain lead (some rare types of bronze).
One
should not use pipes with solder, as this contains lead, and may also
contain
the very toxic metal cadmium.
By use, the inside of the pipe -and its 'screen', will get coated with
tars,
covering the metal.
The exposure to tars is the greatest health risk in smoking.
I like the fact that no one under 18 is allowed in. Around here, we use to have a bubblegum, teenager parties outside of the doors, and would be littered with kids. Yes, kids, 12yr olds, 13yr olds. When I go to a headshop I don't want to hear some kids blowing their loads over the site of big bongs and asking the clerk if the legal herb stuff, "gets you fucked up". Now you have to be over 18 and you can actually have a normal coversation with a fellow head about the stuff. Not a kid saying, "what's a hash pipe" :rolleyes:
Okay, I'm done :D
Well there are a few of us who aren't quite 18 but also arent fucking retarded.Quote:
