Glass Pipe QUESTION

[bebacha]

I found some a glass object that would be perfect to smoke out of, but i think that there is some kind of coating covering the glass. When I put a lighter under it, it gives off a black smoke, and leaves black ash that wipes off easily. I have tried boiling the glass, shaking in alcohol and salt, and washing, but it still gives off black smoke. Is there any way to completely remove this coating??

can you scrape it off?

[bebacha]

i havn't tried to scrape it, i couldn't really even tell that there was a coating until I burned it

im pretty sure that all glass does that, take a glass pipe that was meant for smoking and do the same thing to it and it does the same thing.

what was this glass object origianlly used for?

[bebacha]

The glass was from an old chandellier part. I don't think that burning a normal glass pipe produces black smoke

no it dont! i have a brand new never used glass pipe it doesnt produce smoke just by heating up the pipe. thats why people use glass you get nothing but pure bud taste

is the lead in the glass, or in the coating??
