Title: Base Pipe Smoking Lip Burn
Post by: tordemon on April 05, 2012, 06:52 pm
So, small problem has been popping up, recently. While I've smoked many different things out of base pipes without any issues, smoking heroin in the base pipes (I know this is unusual, and people usually use tin foil, but I prefer the pipe regardless) is causing the pipe to heat up to the point that it burns my lips. My hand doesn't feel like the pipe is hot at all, but it really hurts my lips.

I presume somebody has run into this problem before. What's the best way to fix this? Should I get thinner glass at the bulb? Get a longer one? Somehow get a non-conducting mouthpiece for it?

I'm thinking thinner and longer is really the best option, but I'd like to see if somebody else has encountered this problem before, or see if anybody has any even better ideas.

I've heard many people say they prefer thicker and longer with a rounded, insulated tip.  I wouldn't know for sure though as I always used foil for H and a can for coke.

Find something soon though, those blisters are a dead giveaway.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I haven't seen any with insulated tips, but I suppose if I find one I'll grab it up...

I used to put a small length of proper diameter PVC tubing (from lowes/home depot) over the end of my metal stem when I smoked freebase coke (notice the white guy avoidance of the term crack)

And that never caused the plastic to burn or melt? I'd be somewhat concerned that the plastic would be giving off noxious fumes or something. But that indeed would solve that problem...

Nope I'd use a brass or whatever it was barbed fitting with threaded on the other end, chore boy in the threaded part (there was a little lip that kept you from sucking chore boy in) and tubing on barbed part.  To get resin I'd take tubing off (only like 2-3")  and put in freezer, after a few minutes I'd take tubing and bend it a few times, shit would fall right out on plate. 

I need to stop, starting to jones for some good crack, err I mean freebase cocaine

Alright, yea, that makes sense. Might have to head on up to Lowes or something to grab one of those. I'll just bring my nice flower holder in with me, haha.

And it's pretty difficult to stop IMO. I only stopped because I found heroin, though I'm trying to taper that down, too. =P
