sick as hell works great

[jorwin]

hey so after using this three or four times at what point did your urine turn grey and bloody? there is a huge debate over whether aluminum is bad to smoke out of and it actually can release chemicals on the shiny side of it if heat is applied there and it ruins the taste of your "tobbaco" so please lets leave the aluminum to the crack smokers and heroine fumers please

[j574sbi]

burning foil and plastic, terrible for you. works great in a pinch, but for regular use your bare minimum should be glass.

[LiquidLightning]

Bare minimum? What would be the maximum; fourth dimensional obsidian?

[skater7832]

Instead of using the cap and foil, which will most likely melt the cap sooner or later, use a small socket with a filter in it. works alot better.

[lemonie]

You're going to melt the plastic and it'll be horrible. Maybe not immediately, but at some point. You want a metal / wood / glass / ceramic bowl to support the foil-screen. And it's a waste of time adding the word "tobacco" to what obviously isn't, "herbal mixture" is more appropriate. L

[LiquidLightning]

And Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica would be even more appropriate. Unless your smoking crack, hahaha.

[Faulty Ply]

Like I said, it is very unhealthy smoking out of aluminum foil. With the right technique of applying the foil, the plastic will never melt.

[daltondude]

its fine to smoke outta aluminium foil, but tin foil will give u alzheimers

[LiquidLightning]

Tin foil has been out of production for over 20 years. 0_0

 have fun smoking your crack

[Fashim]

I'm pretty sure you don't smoke crack.

[LiquidLightning]

Mhm, that's why there's CRACK PIPES.

evolution. allow as many people to try this as possible and get them out of the gene pool.

[madhops0620]

Nice. Haha there was an episode of the office where Dwight was mad at the guy who invented seat belts for messing up natural selection

[rtk94]

hahahaha thats awesome

[lilpepsikraker]

Make an apple pipe, damnit! Much better smoke and is probably better than smoking from a future molten blob of plastic.
I do, however, condone the use of "herbs and spices".

[biofueljunke]

just get a glass pipe... if u smoke real tobacco from it u get a killer buzz

[Cwyk]

 it isn't really to smoke tobacco my friend...

[greymatter21]

this pipe takes form of a steamroller

It's definitely not a long term solution. One highlighter pipe should only be used three, maybe five times max. After that, it gets a little iffy. The good news is, if you make it correctly it should be perfectly usable and enjoyable for the few times it is used. And it's fairly quick and easy to make, so if you're ever in need of a pipe fast, these are a good short term fix.

[CLOWNphobia26]

EXTRAMLY TOXIC I HAD ONE AND NOW I HAVE LUNG PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF PROLONGED USE DO NOT MAKE ONE

[skuitarman]

listen to this guy!

[Spint180]

Seriously, the heat from the foil would just burn the plastic and have you inhaling plastic smoke.

[biofueljunke]

just get wood a kinfe a drill and time and ur good no rush just chill carve light a stick of incense and chill*


*dont carve a weed pipe no... i can read ur mind ur gonna carve one dont... no... no... hay its a tobacco pipe

[junits15]

dont use this!, you can get metal poisioning from the heated aluminum!

[thedudewhoiscool]

good pipe i like it but i dont think anybody wants it to smoke tobacco :D

[Rectifier]

Honestly, smoking pipe tobacco out of this would defeat the whole purpose of smoking pipe tobacco - the flavor and relaxation. Also you won't look very cool with this. Yumm, plastic and highlighter flavor. I know the target market is smokers of medicinal herbs, but really... rolling papers are even cheaper than a highlighter bro... develop a useful skill ;)

[lil jon168]

lol i made 1 out of a grape smelling highlighter and i love how it mixes lol

[xXFALCORXx]

my friends an I used to make these in highschool and smoke uhhhhh tobacco on lunch breaks lol cans/altoids tins/ceramic/stone/glass/metal pretty much anything works better though because the PLASTIC doesn't melt cuz there isn't any! lol there are fun and deff entertaining but if you really don't wanna kill your lungs try an apple ; )

[greenengineer]

Why plastic of all materials?

[buirv]

I bet he'll say that the plastic and Aluminum makes his smoke work better. The plastic should get you really good loaded. LOL... How about opening that propane tank valve in the back ground a little more and spark up another bowl dude...

[Brobru]

You may be the next recipient of the darwin award!

[Decepticon]

yeah, smoking out of aluminum is pretty bad for you on top of the risk of inhaling melting plastic fumes. Keep smoking that whacky tobbacky there compadre.

[snorkledorf]

A few more people smoking (whatever) in plastic and aluminum and that pesky drug and or tobacco problem will be a thing of the past.

[yellowsushimustard]

smoke tobacco... right...
