what the fuck?

[slpntrx5]

okay, so i made a one-hitter with a piece of window screen as a screen, as i have seen suggested here before. when i was testing it out(just puffing on it, not inhaling), i thought i smelled smoke, so i took out the screen, and held a lighter flame up to it for a few seconds, then it fucking CAUGHT-ON-FIRE!! there were fucking black as death fumes coming off it too! it held the flame for about 15 seconds too! what the fuck is up with this? i thought someone on here said to use a window screen!! help, please!

if fumes are coming off of it then dont use it

was it a plastic screen?

[slipknotpsycho]

then it was a plastic window screen, when me or anyone says 'window screen' it's under the assumption those who choose to apply it are smart enough to know we're talking about metal window screens.. however.. if the questioned window screen is metal, but old.. it will have shit burn off it, and i always used to burn mine first... it burns off most (or all) of the shit it's collected while it was exposed to the outdoors..

it must be old, if its not plastic, use brass faucet screens from the hardware store

[slpntrx5]

well, yeah, the house is pretty old, and the window screeen is def. not plastic! lol i've never even seen those!

well then before you put it in your bong give it a good 20-25 second burn (yellow flame works best) to burn off all *or most* of the impurities.. should be fine, i used that method for years...

Sorry if it's been said, but unfortueatley alot of modern day ones are vinyl or plastic and melt easily. Mine are too and it pisses me off. A good bowl is to take a bunch of twisty ties and pull the paper off (burn it or rip it) and make them into a screen by balling them. I always do it and when you want to clean it you can unball t and scrape the stuff off and redo it.

why even use a screen? if your pipe is glass you are defeating the purpose. if it is wood or metal you should by a glass pipe.
