Anyone? I have part to make one hell of a hookah or a triple chambered water bong... trying to decide. But if I do I have a copper pipe (used in plumping) that I cut to the size I want, but, I was wondering if i heated it and inhaled it, would it give off toxic fumes? Thanks.

Verry sorry, I just read a post about it. The copper will be getting hot, but not very hot... I could still touch it.. Would that release fumes? Ty.

I'm under the impression that only when the flame touches the copper that it releases fumes. But I could very well be wrong. If it were me, I wouldn't let it get hot at all.

But if you can touch all parts of the copper pipe, it probably isn't hot enough to release fumes. Again, I could be wrong...

no way man copper is bad it can realy mess u up or kill you it releases toxic fumes the best material for a pipe is brass or nickel just make sure its not treated with any thing ad make sure ure getting brass not copper hope that helps later

Copper gives off Copper Oxyde which is toxic and very unhealthy for you when heated. Try and find a brass/glass bowl, those are your best bets.

Note brass is an alloy of copper and ... zinc or nickle or something like that. But it does have copper in it. The best materials for pipes and bongs is either glass, or wood. Brass is safer, I just prefer not to use it at all.

Peace.

i just bought a socket wrench it has about 200 sockets and they are all made of stainless steel and one is really good for a bowl, in fact i already smoked out of it, didnt taste funny.

Don't use copper, I've heard to many bad things. Stainless on the other hand, I have used with no ill effects. Even when heated to immense temps my stainless bowl didn't release any fumes. Good Luck
