    My gf still uses the toilet paper roll/dryer sheet trick. The whole apartment smokes, but she likes to be discreet and respectful. She used to also burn incense, but I think the massive amount of incense she’s burned during our time together has made me allergic. Every time I’m near one my throat gets narrow, my eyes water, and I can’t stop coughing.

    About a week ago I forgot my pipe so I took my brother-in-law’s knife, dented a beer can, and stuck holes in it. Gen Z can hit that pen all they want, but I’ll be the one still getting high when the apocalypse hits. These are not tricks. These are key survival tactics.

      Pro soda/beer can pipe tip for those reading a local backup of Lemmy during the apocalypse: if your knife is stuck in a dead raider and you need a toke, you can snap part of the can’s pull tab off to make a puncture tool.

      Don’t forget to get that knife back though, fr. Actually maybe go do that first, but still do this rather than use a bloody knife. Hygiene, man.

        This sounds great and I’ll have to look into it. I have nice glassware pieces for home, I rarely like to take glass out in my pocket. I remember this gaming convention I went out to, there was a field in the back. We went back there to smoke and there was already circle.

        In this circle, they were passing around chocolate Godiva vodka and this really REALLY cool piece. It was a large bowl, fat and completely see through. Inside was this massive plastic replica of a HUGE joint, rolling around free. On the side of it, it said “The Labrador”. It was an old first production Tommy Chong piece. Felt honored to smoke from it.

        My step-dad is a straight laced guy; ex-manager higher up in the mill business. He bought a lathe. For Christmas he gave my gf a really nice pipe from a kit he bought, which surprised us all, lol. The kit comes with a cone pieces, metal tubing, a mouthpiece, and even a screw on cap with a small hole in it, too keep your herb inside when it’s tumbling around in your pocket. He buys acrylic blocks and lathes them to make different colors.

        He’s been making a decent side business selling them to local headshops for $25 apiece and buys the kits for $15. I’ve told him he could charge more, but its just a hobby and he doesn’t want to get greedy with it. He can make tiny short ones, or double pipe long ones. The cones even have a shelf to set screens on. I’ve always just flattened a piece of sticky bud to make a screen and keep the ground material out of the works, but the little screen shelf is great for that. I bought one and that’s what I use to carry around. Its an all metal-acrylic construction.

        Here’s a pic of one (not the best quality camera, lol):

        He gets all kinds of cool acrylics and the metal can be silver, gold, or black. My gf loves halloween, so she has a black one with a bright orange mica design acrylic. It completely screws down to the base components, so it’s super easy to clean.

        One of my favorite devices! That was my first dry vape and now I’ve got the volcano as well.

        My favorite thing about dry vaping is I can get high on the vapor, and then use the decarbed flower (since we don’t have to combust it) to make edibles.
