bong idea

[Nelokjer]

Ive heard of this liquid metal alloy that doesnt have anything toxic in it and wondering, what would happen if you filled your bong with that? Itd be fucking cool, the metal costs like $20 a gram though...

Gallium?

Indium

"So why can’t you buy these nontoxic prank utensils in toy stores, as you could the toxic versions of years past? Price. Indium costs about three times as much as silver. (I get mine from a bulk supplier in China.) Using gallium, you can make alloys that melt in lukewarm water or even in your hand, but it’s more expensive than indium, and it tends to stain the glass and discolor skin. Unfortunately, no alloy replicates the low cost, bright shine and nonstick fun of mercury. Too bad we know now that playing with it for too long can give you brain damage."

its an alloy of gallium, indium, and tin. its liquid down to about -4 F

second item down. its expensive as fuck

youd have to waste a bong on that metal and noting else, but, it would be so fucking cool!

yeah, it prob would, i'd throw down on half the metal needed to fill a bubbler.
a bong however, might be a lil pricey

The metal would coat the bong and might be real hard to get clean. Also I doubt that metal would filter the smoke well at all and could be dangerous or at least leave a metal tase in your mouth. My old O chem teacher used to say gallium was toxic in high doses too.

[IllusionalFate]

Smoking something that has been filtered through liquid metal alloy doesn't seem like a very wise idea to me.

[Nelokjer]

well, like I said, youd have to waste a bong to see, and, maybe gallium is toxic at high doses, but you wouldnt be inhaling the gallium, unlike mercury, gallium alloys dont begin to evapourate at room temperature. no, it might not filter well, but imagine putting it in the freezer. mmmm. 0 degree smoke.

if i got really rich all of a sudden, that would easily be the first thing id do with my money
