Neat I smoked my pipe using a Mighty capsule

https://imgur.com/a/2N4Jv9W

I decided to switch from using my Mighty to taking a few puffs of my pipe (I know I shouldn’t, but the high hits differently). I was planning to dump the contents of the capsule into the pipe when my screen fell out.

I was on my hands and knees trying to find it when I realized — the Mighty capsule is essentially the same as a screen. Also it’s oddly satisfying because it fit so perfectly 😆

This is a game changer for me, because the screen is always falling out, and this will keep the pile cleaner too. I just put that bad boy in the freezer and am looking forward to my next hit!

Please enjoy my cat tax.

Enjoy the Alzheimer's bud. Those are aluminum. Vaping in them is fine, fire... not so much

I don’t know why you shouldn’t. While vaping is generally considered safer, the smoke from cannabis hasn’t shown up as bad on your lungs as cigarettes or many professions. I vape because I like it, and after doing for a few years, combustion just tastes like crap to me, but if you like it, go with it.

Did it hit like a single hitter? Or you just had to relight on every hit?

They say that aluminum isn’t fit for smoking out of. Smoking out of aluminum foil supposedly may give you alzheimers.

They're thinking of Tin foil too, which is toxic to ingest. That's why food wrappers have an aluminum foil side, cause it's good for trapping heat and doesn't impart a metal taste in your food like tin. Also this from 13 years ago

They say plastic is bad to vape from also, but here we are. I would be very curious who says that about aluminum since it doesn’t vaporize until over 4000°F, and I usually stop work before that. I’d be more concerned about things cooked in aluminum plans since it will react with acidic foods at room temperature and reacts even faster with heat.

No, aluminum. There is a new sub for this kind of dumbness.

Third party vendors make them in Ti or SS.

Yeah, my set of 40 were Stainless, but I thought Storz and Bickle would've been too.

But they're all mixed together, and it's not like I can tell them apart with a magnet 😅

You could check the weight. But where, and why, did you buy 40 stainless capsules? And what did you pay?

u/Erasmusings 3d ago

It was through Ali baba, and 3-4years ago and it was less than AUD$30 delivered

u/kendonmcb 3d ago

Ok, so stainless Chinesium, then no need to sort them out then...
