Last I heard smoking anything off aluminum was just a bad idea. It releases toxins.
Also, it sounds like that could easily burn it. There are so many good ways already used to smoke DMT.

fyi using a socket is just as unhealthy as using foil. most sockets (100% that i've seen) are coated in chrome and it's not a good thing to be heating and inhaling

Regarding health effects of heating aluminum, chrome, and other metals: the temperatures required to release metal vapors is so high, even for aluminum, that using these materials for smoking devices poses very minimal to no heath risks.

When some metals oxidize, the oxidation might flake off and could be inhaled. This is a different kind of health risk.

You mention chrome – were you aware that the main ingredient that makes stainless steel “stainless” is chrome (chromium)? By your reasoning, every time someone heats up an aluminum or stainless steel frying pan on their stove, they’re exposing themselves to toxic fumes. This simply isn’t the case.

Now if you are a welder, using let’s say arc welding equipment, then you might produce fumes, and if this was your occupation and you were exposed to these fumes all day long 5 days a week, then you would need to be concerned. (In the US, OSHA requires that employers provide protection for workers in such environments.)

I think most are in agreement that this "dragon-in-a-cage" method is FAR from ultimate, it probably works alright... But honestly - aluminum foil is used in cooking, often over an open flame!! That's its PRIMARY use, so i would be surprised if there were any measurable toxicity (surprised, but not shocked! )

I would be more worried about toxicity from the plastic bottle either from accidental heating or a reaction from the heated vapour).

Anyway OP , don't be discouraged by the responses - most here have a fair amount of experience with varied methods, so tend to chuckle when someone makes "ultimate" claims in their first post. Stick around and read around - you might stumble on some other more ultimate methods! Some of them go up to 11...!

Welcome to the nexus,

The method that the opening post mentions is, IMO/E very effective but not the ultimate.I agree with Gibran2 and nen888s posts regarding the little true risk from infrequent use of aluminium foil for vaporising and have had some impressive breakthroughs using it.But the GVG and single inhalations of the total dose is the best smoking method Ive seen so far.

Not everybody has money at their disposal.he is probably using materials he has handy.if it works then more power to ya.to each his own method.PLUR

I must admit that this method seems not good for the health. But since I hear that it's a efficient method I'd like to suggest if theres any possible "upgrade" of this machine. I mean could we exchange the plastic bottle with a one made of glass and the alluminum with coper?

Myth 4: Drinking out of aluminum cans or cooking in aluminum pots and pans can lead to Alzheimer’s disease.

Reality: During the 1960s and 1970s, aluminum emerged as a possible suspect in Alzheimer’s. This suspicion led to concern about exposure to aluminum through everyday sources such as pots and pans, beverage cans, antacids and antiperspirants. Since then, studies have failed to confirm any role for aluminum in causing Alzheimer’s. Experts today focus on other areas of research, and few believe that everyday sources of aluminum pose any threat.

I found this at www.alz.org

I'm not sure if I believe this above statement. I have no way of knowing if it's credible. I've deen lied to before so some hidden face can make a buck. Who has a silver filling? Did you know they release a mercury gas when they are impacted. The ADA dosnt want you to know that. Check out The Beautiful Truth documentry (netflix).

Sounds pretty disgusting

think I made it, a glass bottle with the bottom cut off and a coper sheet about 0.5 to 1mm thick. Maby I test it in weekend and post some comment.

..i agree with TimeCat....surely there is a cheaper 'ultimate' way than $99 for a GVG..?
..the aluminum foil allows the material to vaporize in 5-10 seconds..the entire dose can be gazed at in the chamber and inhaled in 1 second..the copper mentioned in the previous post is much thicker..
one would be much more likely to absorb toxins by either cooking food wrapped in foil (a common practice, never bothered me) or by drinking out of long term stored plastic bottles (with plastic particles contaminating the liquid) ..only the very uncoordinated could burn the plastic (and still inhale!)
..a glass chamber is obviously to be preferred, but a very thin and unlikely to burn material like foil has some advantages..

You obviously haven't smoked any of the shitty hash that floats around the UK That stuff was always laced with plastic and it never stopped anyone inhaling, lol.

But yeah, I agree. I see no problem with using tin foil, haven't seen any real evidence of it being particularly harmful.

yea you're probably right but why does smoking out of those things have a metallic taste? and where did this "smoking with aluminum foil causes alzheimers" thing come from?

My room mate and I have a glass vapor genie and it works great!!! But my favorite method is my 800 dollar hbg water pipe, with 16 arm perc, 6 arm diffuser, and skillet attachment. Pretty much you get it all it two rips out the pipe and its not quite as harsh.

Too hyperspace and beyond you gooooo1

I want to go up to 11!

Thurgood Jenkins: The MacGyver smoker is a very handy guy to have around, especially when it comes to reefer.
McGayver Friend: Hey, man, we're out of papers.
McGayver Smoker: All right. Then get me a toilet paper roll, a corkscrew and some tin foil.
McGayver Friend: We don't have a corkscrew.
McGayver Smoker: All right. Then get me an avocado, an ice pick and my snorkel.
McGayver Smoker: [Friend looks at him funny] Trust me, bro. I've made bongs with less! Hurry up!!

i dont understand how the device works... when you inhale all of the smoke wouldn't the tinfoil like cave in? my main question is shouldn't there be some sort of carb?

so i have smoked hash oil off tin foil when younger, but did light the shiny side first to burn off that shine which smokes. then put hash oil on non shiny side and smoke.
But do not any more because it does seem unhealthy i have heard a lot of the hype, and it is easier to just use a hot knife.

As for smoking DMT i always use a water bong, always works a charm for every one, either pack a cone with Dream Time blend, or fill cone with dried mint leaves and place crystal on top,

Smoke SLOW.. and HOT rip it. close eyes. HOLD deep for the MaGic ten seconds, then blow out opening eyes....rowwwwwwww

Nothing beats the VAPORMASK. VAPORMASK crumbles to dust all these so called "professional" smoking devices be it GVG, Inspirator, tin foil, bong (yes, they all lump together when compared to the VAPORMASK).

VAPORMASK FTW.
