What are some homemade pipes I can build? Contributed by: Burramys ParvusĮditor's note: We do not recommend pipes or bongs made of plastic or metal they may release toxic vapours when heated.Īluminum cans, plastic fittings, plastic pop cans, etc are very common but should be considered dangerous to use as materials for DIY smoking gear.Īluminum cans are coated in graphics externally, and have a plastic internal layer to protect the aluminum from acidic pop inside.
