What can I use instead of a pipe screen?

If you're stuck at home without a screen, cut out a small piece of aluminum foil to fit in the bowl. Poke holes through the foil with a paperclip or toothpick.

How do you pack a bowl without a screen?

The only time you can get away with not using a screen is when the opening in the bowl is teeny, and that's not the case with most pipes, and definitely not most bongs. If you're not using a screen, pack the bottom of the bowl with a dense nug to prevent sucking your bowl through.

Is aluminum foil toxic when burned?

What chemicals burn off of aluminum foil? Aluminum powder is used in explosives and is highly combustible and would be very harmful to inhale, however there is a thin oxide layer on aluminium foil that would not be combusted from brief exposure to a naked lighter flame.

How do you put a pipe screen in a bowl?

Since metal screens are so malleable, you must simply press the mesh disc into the pipe until it fits flush with the bottom of the bowl. Be sure that the screen covers the hole. Metal and wood pipes typically have holes in the side, while glass bowls have holes on the bottom.

Is aluminum safe to smoke from?

It's not likely. Aluminum is a fairly reactive metal and on exposure to the atmosphere it quickly forms a surface layer of aluminum oxide, which protects the underlying metal from further reaction. Any aluminum that winds up in the smoke would be in the form of this oxide.

Can you roll a blunt with aluminum foil?

Erm, no. Tinfoil doesn't burn. You could, if you're feeling creative, make a pipe out of foil. Or easier still, if you've got an empty drinks can, turn it on it's side, make a bowl by pushing a dent in, punch some small holes in the dent with a badge pin, burn the paint off the bowl, et voila, a pipe!
