Smoking W/ Screen

[1e64102e]

So, I bought a pack of 5 metal screens for $1. I sometimes get pissed when bud flies down into the water, and it's a bitch to clean that bowl every five minutes. I noticed first that the bowl is getting really quite resinous, and i'm not smoking as large a bowl.

1.) Will these screen fuck up my lungs w/ fumes?
2.) What's the best way to get screen stuffed into a bowl?

Thanx

... Your using a screen with a bong?!?!?! I suppose if you really wanted to you could, but you see all that water... that works as a big wet screen. Don't have to worry about the fumes they are safe... I don't use screens, don't like the taste, so I can't help you with the technique part.

Yeah, no point for that screen. Use them on a pipe that likes to shit in your mouth all the time.

i am confused wat do u need a screen for ?

screens are just a defense used (usually) for protecting your throat from hot ash flyin in that STINGS!!! i only use screens on metal pipes, never used one on a bong or bubbler though =\ fumes arnt a worry they are designed to be heated intensly and usually brass or steel, dont use aluminum or tin...that shit can give you brain tumors and all sorts of shit =X best way to eliminate that taste is to find a screen that some old buddy used for awhile, burn the resin off and use that, all the taste is usually burnt out after a dozen or so bowls

It's not a problem if you put big chunks of weed in your pipe.

it can be =\ even fatty nugs will crumble to fine ash if your using a torch lighter or just taking good old fashion gigantic hits and burnin the fuck out of it, i seen nugs burst into dust and fly down ppls throats - that my friends, is true entertainment i havnt used metal pipes with any regularity for awhile, i have my little chamber piece for takin on trips as a cheap pipe i can chuck if i need to but if i have my choice its glass always...and forever glass theres no reason to use a screen on glass (most especially a bong) piece if its even decent the hole in the bowl wont be all that big

My pipes stem divides in to two in the middle and then comes back together and it does a pretty efficient job of catching that fucking ash.

I was doing it so that good weed doesn't get sucked down the stem and into the water, as has happened on several occasions. Y'know, i'll be hitting it and it just slides through. The screen acts as a protective device. Makes sense to me, at least.
