    If it's only going to be used one or two times then use aluminum foil. If it's going to be used a lot, I'd suggest a metal funnel or something like that.

    Craftsman sockets work well, esepecially when hammered into a metal Parker Jotter pen tube. Another idea for a stem/bowl combo you could get a glass water dropper and take off the rubber part. Just pack that half full of reefer and insert it into a plastic bottle. Fuck tinfoil, just get off your ass and buy the materials to make a decent one hitter or use the glass water dropper as a chillum.

    DO NOT smoke from aluminum foil...unless you want some serious health problems later in life...

    use a clean wrench socket or just go and buy a cheap bowl...

    As long as you dont saturate the aluminum with the lighter I wouldnt be too worried about it. Most of the bowls I make dont get burnt at all, and are more covered in resin. The bigger problem is the pen tube. Using a plastic pen as a stem is probably a lot worse off an idea than using aluminum. This pen WILL melt unless you use a lot of foil.

    I heard not to use anything with brass in it because brass gives off toxins as well.

    keep in mind your using aluminum FOIL, which is not 100% aluminum. Pure aluminum's (which is present in aluminum foil) boiling tempurature is 100*C, which most likely much cooler than the flame of a lighter is.
    This means that even though the foil may not appear to be burning, molecular aluminum could still be vaporized, which you then inhale. Also keep in mind that inhaling virtually any metallic element is very harmful to your body.

    And really how hard is it to just go to your local headshop and buy a 2 dollar bowl...
    I personally care very much about my health, and also the quality of the toke.
    So maybe take the extra hour to do things right, maybe you'll thank yourself later.

    it is my oppinion as a certified bongologist that you should use foil for the meanwhile, however, duringt he time that you are using foil, it would be appropriate to look for other things that you could use.

    brass is typically used on doorknobs and important plumbing joints, because it is sterile. i believe many of the little metal pipes you can buy at all headshops/tobacconists have aluminium casing with brass ends.

    aluminium should get safer and safer the more you use it, as it builds up a somewhat hard shell of resin around it.

    Dude, use a trumpet or a trombone mouth-piece and put a screen in it and you've got it.

    I've used that method before, just be careful about what metal the mouthpeice is made of.

    Carve you one from bamboo, it doesnt take long at all, put a screen in there and boom ur ready to go, i made a home made pipe with a bamboo bong, and a pea shooter, just burn the inside of the bowl to get all the loose pieces of plant material out so you dont inhale it.
