2 things about metal pipes.
1. the type of metal matters, if it's copper, or brass you will get lockjaw.
2. metal accualy conducts heat better then glass, and burns the skin worse.

I would have stuck with the first pipe. anyhoo

1/2 piece of duct tape arround the mid section will give you a spot to hold on to. take the screen and make an indent with your pinky so it looks like a bowl, then press it into the pipe bowl very carefuly. sure the tape looks like crap, but you wont burn your self.
dark0ne Reviewed by dark0ne on . Help with my glass pipe... Hey, I got a glass pipe today and I was hoping to get some info about these pipes ^^ I was just wondering how high does a glass pipe get you and mainly a couple of questions: 1. When I start to light, the glass heats up resulting in burning my hand/fingers so I figured I'm probably doing it wrong XD How do I light without burning myself? 2. I bought 10 pipe screens, but they're too big and just fall into the pipe vertically. What shall I do about this? I have a 2 spiral clear glass Rating: 5
