does anybody know if smokeing off a copper surface is bad for you or not? i've made this kick ass pipe witch a copper bowl and haven't smoked off it yet because somebody told me smokeing off copper was bad.. i know smokeing off tin foil can be hazardus but i don't come in contact with many copper type pipes.

i'm not sure but i've smoked off copper alot and it burns your throat bad

well i just tried to smoke a couple buds on it and it truley is a master peace of a pipe. still if anybody knows if copper is bad for smokeing let me know. don't wanna put anymore strain on my lungs then necessary.

Hate to tell yah this man but copper is FUCKING BAD TO SMOKE FROM!!!!!! Right up there with tinfoil sorry man it releases harmfull fumes I guess when it gets nice and hot. It is the easiest thing to find to make a chill piece from but DONT USE IT cept mabye once in a long while if your in desprate need and dont give a fuck. Go score yourself a small glass piece or stainless pipe. Or get a nice BRASS bowl I dont think thats too bad 4 you if it hasnt started to oxidise but Im none to sure heard one report brass was bad for you but none others heard innumerable on copper and tinfoil.

yeah i have copper pipes from back when i started smoking. and let me tell you the more you smoke outa them the worse they get

damn! that sux.. o well i'll keep it for emergency uses at my house when i don't have any papers or i dont feel like steaming suger packets and wipeing the toxic sludge off them.

actually no its not. i just got a new sneak-a-toke for my birthday and it came with a copper screen. and i make them all the time, its pretty much all i ever use. (hack up a lung)

that wasn't a copper screen you got there smartguy. if you get your shit from a headshop, there's a 99% chance if it's goldish, you're getting brass, or at least brass plated/alloy. when copper oxidises, like when you heat it, it will turn green and give off a poisonous gas. Have fun smoking it with your "killer piece". personally i like to make my own glass pieces, but you probably wouldn't wanna take time to learn that. Just take off the part that gets hot and replace it with a chrome or brass piece from home depot or another hardware store like ace or something. Their cheap and you can find nicely shaped bowlheads there which is about all that you'd need to replace in the entire bowl, because the rest shouldn't oxidase unless you light it with a blowtorch or it's really small and the whole thing heats up.
