So, my friend's gonna hook me up with some good ol' mary jay by the end of this week, only problem is I have nothing to smoke it out of, nor do I have any rolling paper (or even know how to roll joints, for that matter).
So I figured I'd ask all you tokers out there your opinions on the homemade soda can pipe, as that's what I'll probably rig up if I don't have anything else.
DOn't you will get alzeeihmers!!! :saddowns:
make a crude pipe out of wood. I did that once
psshhh it works fine.
not that good, but it works.
Can't you get brain damage from aluminum fumes? :raise:

Soda cans don't tend to melt and fume up after a few seconds with a lighter.
You're thinking of pipes made of actual aluminum foil.
The soda can isn't made to smoke. The cover over the aluminum for the logo etc. wil burn after a few seconds though. IE: Bad shit.
Just make an apple pipe.
Yes they work decently.
And no you won't get Alzheimers because the temperature for burning aluminum is much higher than your lighter is going to produce.
Real men use beer cans.
Aluminum's melting point is about 3,632 F, most lighters are about 3,590 F
I wouldn't risk it.
I used it for a good 4 months with not any adverse reactions except some memory loss. So if its a last chance type of thing then do it once. Not many times where you can fuck up your brain like me.
I have done it before, This was before I heard about the Alzheimers thing and the only lighter we had was a jet flame but I seem to be fine.
They are slightly less effective than a regular pipe, but will still get you really fucked up if you want.
As long as you aren't using one every day, then you should be pretty safe.
Personally, I think using aluminum foil as a bowl is better than a can. Cans are coated with shit so they're smoother and stuff, which I think is worse than just foil. Also, a foil bowl gives you more options, you can do a waterfall or gravity bong with a soda bottle. Back in the day I used to make ghetto ass bongs with tin foil, pen cylinders and soda bottles. They worked, just taste like ass.
I had this problem too.
I made something incredulously easy, a paper towel roll steamroller.
1. Get a paper towel roll, cut it in half.
2. Find a side where you can make a cut into the roll without hitting a crease/fold
3. Cut a pinky sized hole into the roll about an inch from one of the sides.
4. Get a small square piece of aluminum foil.
5. Shape the foil around your pinky (Make sure the shiny side is outside your finger and the dull side inside)
6. Stick your pinky into the hole you cut in the roll, just a little bit so it doesn't fall out.
7. Flatten or cut the excess foil from the newly made bowl.
8. Tape down the extra foil to the roll. (unless you want to take it out for replaceable bowls)
9. Get a sharp poking device (Mechancil pencil and needles work)
10. Stab the bowl a couple times around carefully to make sure it doesn't collapse, the more holes the easier it will be for the smoke to enter the steamroller.
11. Admire your crude first work.
To use it, put the desired product in the bowl, make sure the side with the bowl is farthest from your mouth, place your left palm over the bowl's end of the steamroller and place your mouth on the other. Light the bud and inhale.
Works really good, but sometimes hits harshly.
Dude just flatten it and poke little holes in the top with a pin works perfectly.
[B][U]Wow, DD is full of idiots. The aluminum is pretty much harmless but the paint of the can and the plastic of the can is NOT harmless. Don't smoke with cans unless you want to smoke the paint and the plastic. Cans are a no-go.[/U][/B]

It's not even noticeable. Yea don't smoke out of cans everyday but if you got nothing else go ahead.

Don't. Apple-pipe? Carrot-pipe? Even aluminum foil is less harm, you really shouldn't smoke plastic and paint.
If you can smoke inside somewhere, try a waterfall bong. Got me stoned the first month or so when I couldn't roll yet.

I find it hard to believe that the average lighters flame reaches a temp of 3590 degrees fahrenheit, because I just bought a small butane torch and the package says it only reaches temps of of 2000F, albeit it was a $6 deal at the discount tool store, but this is an excerpt from wikipedia:
"The maximum adiabatic flame temperature a butane torch can achieve with air is 2243 kelvin (1970 °C / 3578 °F)."
This means that a butane TORCH lighter, much more intense of a flame than a normal butane bic or the like, can only reach 3578F. If the melting point of aluminum is 3632F, then the MOST INTENSE butane torch you could find would only be either just in range to melt or just out of.
To melt and weld metal you not only need a different flammable gas, but you need to feed pure accelerant into the flame with it, like in an acetylene torch system where you have your tank of acetylene and a tank of oxygen, and then you have your torch end piece that hoses from both tanks connect to. Those types of systems can get up to 6000F.
Have any bottles of any kind around?
Just cut a hole and tape a socket for a socket wrench in there for the bowl. It makes the perfect pipe.
fuck the soda can, make a water bottle bong.
I have never rolled before and I don't really know how to. I've made blunts before but usually I just hit off my pipe. I want a bong
Just go to a smoke shop. I got a metal pipe for like 4 bucks at a local place called "The Stuffed Pipe"
Ask a friend for a pipe..if you know anyone

who says people have access to carrots and apples?
seriously, who cares, it's not any noticeable damage.

The OP is probably underage, but still it's easy to find someone 18 or older.
[editline]05:25AM[/editline]
but i'm not saying to use it everyday, or even frequently, but if theres nothing else go ahead. I've only used it probably less than a 4 times in the period of 3 years.
I used to do this for a week or two, and it seems my short-term memory is a bit worse. I hope it's not permanent D:

Of course it's noticeable damage. As a kid, he'll do it once, and if he doesn't see anything different about his health after the can, his ignorant teenager will come out, making him believe that he can do it over and over. In no way should anyone be inhaling paint and plastic smoke. For Christ's sake, it isn't that hard to put a wrench socket onto a pen and stick it in a water bottle. Or make a paper towel steam roller.

I'm not an ignorant teenager, thank you, I was simply asking how effective a soda can pipe was, I'll likely do some other alternatives now.
