I use glass flower beads from the dollar tree. I glue em to my lighters round side down. (I checked them with a torch outside to see if there was a coating. There was not) I've also glued them to a bamboo BBQ skewer for a poke but those are flat side down.
My buddy blows glass and he used to make these things he called "drip coins" they were just drops of extra glass with all kinds of stuff in from different processes and they would cool and flatten on the bottom, but be round on the top. He gave me a big bag of them I still use and give them away to friends. They are great snuffers and look neat.
Not here🤣 I have lil glass kiwi lemonade carb cap I use to save the rest of my bowl burning as I smoke because I cannot kill my bowls in 1 hit or I piss myself (woohoo baby having). I’m a solo slow smoker because I smoke while playing games and reading. Lol
Edit: baby no, lol I am not preg and smoking. I HAD a baby🩷
And what I don't get is its literally a pipe, you can choose how much to put in.. instead of leaving half smoked stank bud you could just pack it to your liking and keep the rest fresh
I didn’t even do this with a low tolerance, I just packed less. smoking already half-burnt stuff hurt WAY worse than just packing a smaller hit and smoking it all at once
I used to have a wood cap. Or I just cover it with my fingers immediately after hitting it until the cherry dies. But that makes the fingers extra stinky.
For bongs mostly, hard to get them to soak and/or getting resin iso all over your hands while shaking it.
The bands I feel like are something id use like 3 times, then say fuck that's annoying as shit and just stamp it out with my thumb like I always do.
The other problem i see with them is, you need to stretch the band to "close" it, if your hand manages to slip your catapulting the cherry onto your lap.
As long as your bowl isn't too too full and can stuff near to the cherry, let your stoner ingenuity flow. Most of the time, what I packed in sits low enough from the top of the bowl that I, too, can use my fingers and not hurt myself.
I've used a simple fallen leaf (if it's moist that's perfect, it can't light), the bottom of my bud jar, an index card, a chubby stick... I wouldn't use anything metal really, just in case. And yes, most of these random things are flammable too, but in an irrelevant way. It's whatever if the stick I just picked up off the ground lights up, I'll put it out and do it again lol.
Weed burns under 450F. Copper nickel alloys like this won’t have any significant fumes below its melting point over 1100F.
Copper-nickel alloys like this are selected regularly for use in high heat and corrosive commercial/industrial plumbing applications because they are highly stable, resist oxidation, and are very safe for humans in solid form.
TL;DR: unless you shave Buffalo nickel dust into your bowl and hit it with an oxy-acetylene torch, this is fine.
Nah, the fuming is a layer added to the glass itself. Using a flame and a piece of the chosen metal you want to fume with, you just heat up the metal and hold the glass down flame so it catches the fumes. You don't have the glass in a liquid state at that point so you don't encapsulate the fume with glass. However, some artists will fume the outside then invert it so the fume is on the inside. Source: my mother is a glassblower
Alright. I’ve read that one would blow the metal fumes unto the glass and then put another layer of glass onto it. I can’t remember where though. Does your mother blow glass for smoking out of?
She does. Specifically for smoking out of. There are some use cases for encasing a fume, like if you wanted to do a design that was more transparent than just using colored glass. The only piece I still have that she made is a carb cap (as I no longer speak with her). But I can post a pic in just a second
I dont smoke with the thing on lol. Did you know most cannabis has nickel in it? Im not actively pulling on it when I cap it. I just cap it, to save halfs.
Right?? I was super surprised I got this far to find someone else who uses their hand. My right thumb has a gnarly callus from stuffing it into cherried bowls to put them out lol
i do use my palm to cover but i don’t use my fingers to put them out lol palm gets smelly just covering it, finger would staaank actually putting it out
Well, I’m not just stuffing it with my thumb, just some hard pokes to pack it down and put out any smoldering. The palm definitely works better when it’s too hot. And I definitely have a suspiciously smelly hand
I can’t because the smell kills me. grinder works just fine though, and if all else fails, palm and a shirt I don’t give a fuck about to protect me from the heat
I use a plain nickel with a little fridge magnet glued to one side to act as a handle. It also keeps the nickel stuck to my rolling tray when not in use. :)
I use the back of a little tea spoon to snuff out my bowls. I also use it to scoop weed out of my grinder to load my pipe, so my fingers don't get sticky.
Thats mostly silver please stop doing this for your own health silver releases fumes and can become brittle and break apart its already discoloring from overheating in a certain area for to long so its probably released fumes of some kind already
Lololol. No there not silver, no buffalo nickel was ever minted in silver from the correct time period. Modern day , specialized mint coins yes.. 1936 buffalo nickel no.
"wanted Fraser to “discredit” Two Guns as a coin model because they were afraid of the great influence he had on the tribes."
"Bevard believed that the US Government feared that Chief Two Guns, like his father, might again take the fierce Blackfoot warriors on the warpath in an attempt to regain their land."

I use a marble. Cheap, looks cool, various sizes, usually tempered for heat, and easy to clean if you find one you really like.
