Tin-foil posinous?

I learned to make a pipe from tin-foil and decided to use this as my method of mayhem for the first few times. BUT, I had heard somewhere that tin-foil is poisonous and causes cancer. Anyone know the truth, not trusting websites and shit and some ppl say no some say yes. What is the truth

 

.

 

Well since there is nothing else I can make it out of I guess it is a last resort. Any ways to make a pipe without it and something that I can like keep and use again and again

Many people say that tin foil will give you cancer or alzhimers, but this is simply not very true. The only connection between foil and a disease of any type is that in most alzhimers patients, (usually very old) have a increased amount of aluminum in certain parts of thier brains, this is a problem with the individuals body make-up. Also, did you ever think that we cook all our food in aluminum pans mostly? Spaghetti sauce is one thing that would contain more aluminum that smoking a foil pipe. The sauce is pretty high in its acidity content, which when cooked at high degrees in a aluminum pans could potentially contain many, many times more aluminum than smoking, and i'm pretty sure we eat food that contains aluminum more than we smoke with it. :0)

 

There's a difference between tin foil and aluminum foil. Tin foil will, in fact, give off poisonous vapors when burnt. Aluminum oxide is speculated to cause alzheimers, but all stuides are still inconclussive.

 

i dont see hwo you could use tin foil, when we burnt tin in science, it melted at a really really low temperature and let off a feint mist. no oneuses tin foil here in australia anyway, in fact i dont beleive ive seen it since i was a kid.. even then maybe!

 

both tin and aluminum foil will release toxic fumes. never use either, or soda cans to construct pipes or bongs.


aluminum foil will release airborne hot ions at about 300-400 degrees F. the average lighter flame is about 800 degrees F. so don't do it, ok?

 

Anybody know anyway I can make a pipe or bong without tin-foil? (Not using joint cuz no rolling paper and can't get ahold of ciggarettes to make blunt so out of luk there)

 

Use a blank page from the bible to make a joint. You could always make one of an apple or somthing too. Ive made a couple bongs and peices without aluminum foil. Get some sort of heavy duty screen. I cant tell you a kind but I used screen from a pencil holder that I got at walmart for like 99 cents.

 

You know people say use bible paper wat do you se to stick it down cus i done this as a last resort and well all i had was pritt stick so i used my saliva but aht didnt work.

 

its a good thing i read this one. ive always used foil...
especially for the tops of gravitys

so i guess smoking out of soda cans is completly out then?
oops

 

Anyone who has used foil or cans to smoke out of has sooner or later burns thru them. There in lies the danger.


In a pinch it can be done with relative safety. Relative. But you should be very certain to let it cool between hits and not to hold the lighter to it for very long or to cherry it for very long. And not to reuse it. Remember, the danger is in burning the metal, which can be mostly avoided with some caution.

But really, why? Apples and potatoes work fine. Any hardware store has threaded plumbing fixtures to make a pipe. For just a screen, stainless steel faucet screens are great and can often be filched for free of of display models.

 

it wont do anything if youve done it not alot of times.
but yea its bad . i heard it could cause alzheimers.
even the guy in the headshop i go to said so.
you can go to a hardware store.
to get the screens you need.
just ask for pipe screens.
you know pipes.
as in kitchens.
yea cool.
mmkay.

 

Why there is a poll attatched to this thread boggles me, are we asking opinions or facts here ? Anyways, admittingly I have resulted in making homemade bongs out of foil, and YES there are MANY dangers in doing so, not only does aluminum of any kind release toxic fumes when heated, there is also risk of obtaining alzheimers later on in life. I only used foil as a last resort and suggest anyone else does so as well. If you must do so just light the weed and dont torch the whole bowl.

 

actually, machined aluminum is perfectly alright. but that's beside the point. if you can't get a decent glass piece, use an apple.

 

What is this apple/potatoe pipe thing everyone is talking about? HOw do I make one?

 

this is the healthiest way to smoke, i will make it read like a set of instructions:

1.get an apple(or any other fruit it doesnt have to be an apple)
2.take a pen and poke a hole in the apple
3.poke another hole in the apple that meets the other hole
4.pack your buds in one of the holes(the top of the apple works best as there is a natural bowl shape in it already)
5.smoke
6.eat the apple(optional)

 

well, not the healthiest way by any stretch of the imagination, but a good guide regardless.
