a brass connector? I think its brass. Im not entirely sure. I went to lowes the other day and got myself one of those brass screw on things (like for garden hoses to connect to the water source..you know..) and I lit it today (not with any weed just lit it under a lighter) and some black funny smelling smoke came from it. Im sure I dont wanna be smoking that so Im wondering if its safe to smoke (like if I tried to light the weed instead of the actual metal part.)
Just go to a smoke shop and buy a $10 glass pipe. The only reason for someone to make a pipe out of a brass piece from lowes is if you're < 18 imo.
well that brass is coated with volatile/toxic chemicals, and brass smoke, from what i would understand, is toxic as well. just go buy a glass piece man.
Foil's OK to use. There's a study that was posted here a few months ago that said smoking is okay and doesn't give you Alzheimer's like people thought
Yeah I haven't had much money lately to buy anything but groceries and my last bunch of weed for the week or so. Honestly I didnt even know I could buy a 10 dollar piece, I thought they all started around 20 (smoke shops around here seem expensive). I'll go searching for a cheap one tomorrow maybe
Every glass shop around here sells at least a few $10 spoons. They aren't fancy, but they're glass and will definitely get the job done. Don't risk it with brass or aluminum - aluminum heated up does produce gas, but the effects really aren't known because most people aren't heating up aluminum and inhaling it.
