| Hey If I use foil to make the bowl for the bong, will the foil emit toxic fumes? If it does, what else can I use for a bowl? Any other homemade bong tips would be greatly appreciated. |

| Some studies have shown a link between alzeihmer's and aluminum fumes. From what I've heard it shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't smoke out of aluminum every day for a few years, but if you want to be extra safe you can find other alternatives.

| From the information that the Internation Programme on Chemical Safety tells me, Aluminum Oxide(the chemical that aluminum releases when exposed to heat and causes a chemical reaction with oxygen) is not toxic. The short-term effects from "inhalation of high concentrations of this substance may cause eyes and upper respiratory tract irritation." This is where I got some information: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ipcs/ipcs0351.html As you can see, there isn't much known about the long-term effects. I think it wouldn't be a bad substitute, at least until you can get a real one.

| when you're under 18, you can't simply walk into a headshop and buy that stuff. they do card you. as for an alternative to aluminum, i use a socket. they are sort of heavy but they do the job. try getting a 3/4 inch one or maybe even an inch. then all you need is a screen and something to fasten the socket on with, and you're set. |

| Just go to a hardware store and start looking around. You're bound to find something. |

| Yes, headshops do card you. However, in my area there a lot's of markets (where people go and hawk their ****ty second hand goods on sundays) and nearly always there will be a guy selling bongs, stems, pipes, grommets, and any other paraphernalia or accessory you might need. Furthermore, they don't give a sh!t who they sell to, I bought one from there when I was just a lil' tacker. much peace -- krolley. | |
