Definitely. Those were basically the standard pipe 15-20 years ago. Had one myself, was black and silver.


Violated_gator3312

It makes me feel like im smokin with my dad when i use it bro its like hes seshin with me its amazing


ManaPot

👍 Fuck yeah, glad to hear.


sane-asylum

Your Dad would approve.🤟


Violated_gator3312

There a reason i can unscrew it besides cleaning or just to help cleaning cause i admit it makes it alot easier


PiercedGeek

I used to have a very similar pipe, and I don't know if it is specifically meant for it, but I would stick a couple of nugs in there to get saturated and by the time they start blocking the airflow they are like slugging Thunderbird or something, nasty tasting but will rock your face off.


jnx666

Came to say this. That’s exactly what the chamber is for. We used to call them resinator chambers


bleezzzy

I called it my BUB. Back up bowl lol


xxcali559xx

Smell just hit me mentally


InsideInteresting813

👆👆👆


flegerjr

Came to say this, called em my resin Chambers.


PM_ME_UR_CC_NUMBER

This is the way


Professional_Rain819

Tried my first quarter of Alaskan Thunderfuck the other day for a Thanksgiving pregame. Best decision I think I've ever made tbh


PiercedGeek

I appreciate the sentiment, but I was talking about Thunderbird wine. It's super cheap wine with the alcohol boosted. They call it "fortified" wine. Usually consumed from a dirty brown bag.


Violated_gator3312

Btw i tried this not to that extent but they did get a good size boost to the high


PiercedGeek

Nice! All you need for that old school vibe now is some creepy guy you only put up with because he has some great weed lol.


Violated_gator3312

Yes


519meshif

I used to stick a small joint in there


DillyChiliChickenNek

It's a chamber pipe. That mid section is to put weed in to get resinated and gooey. Whatever you do though, don't do that. It's the foulest thing you will ever hit.


smurb15

Back then it's all we had but you are right. It was nasty as hell but got you lit


DillyChiliChickenNek

The one and only time I ever tried it, I abandoned the mission and threw the bud away after one hit and charged that one to the game.


ManaPot

To clean it. Drop it in a ziploc baggie filled with some epsom salt + 70% ISO. Shake that bitch, let it sit for 5 minutes, shake it some more. Empty, rinse the parts, clean as new.


SomeOldHippieChick

>90%. 70% contains useless water that makes you work harder.


ManaPot

90% isn't bad for cleaning like this. But typically, [70% is better than 90%](https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/erfec8/eli5_how_is_that_alcohol_70_is_better_than/) for actually disinfecting things. You need the water to carry the alcohol into the crevices. When it's at 90%, it tends to evaporate before it can get to all the places.


Violated_gator3312

Tbh im first gonna use whatever i got on hand😂


bolonga16

This isn't about disinfecting anything though. Higher proof will more easily dissolve resin buildup. Alcohol is the solvent here, not water. 90 works so much better imo.


ManaPot

Yeah, I know.... That's why I literally start with: >90% isn't bad for cleaning like this. But then I continue to talk about 70 > 90, and explain why the water is useful, because of their comment: >70% contains useless water Ya'll need to take a reading comprehension class or some shit. Jfc


rdwtoker

I don’t think they were saying the water is completely useless… I think they’re more saying it’s useless in this scenario (cleaning a bowl/pipe) because there’s no need to carry the alcohol past cellular membranes, etc. when you’re cleaning a bong


ManaPot

If that was their intent, they needed to state it. The fact that they left it open-ended makes it seem like 70% is useless across the board. Which is just not true, hence my response. If they wanted to mean ONLY for cleaning pipes/bongs, they should have stated so, and I wouldn't have responded with the facts.


rdwtoker

I don’t think anyone is talking about dressing wounds or disinfecting surfaces here gotta put two and two together maybe use some of that reading comprehension you spoke of lol


Einar_47

Yeah but like nobody is disinfecting their smoking piece, they want to remove built up resin, and alcohol doesn't evaporate rapidly in a sealed environment like a sandwich bag. Like I get it that you may be technically correct, but when you're answering a question nobody asked you don't get to tell people to learn to read my guy.


ManaPot

I was simply stating facts. Sorry if that offends you. The person I responded to didn't say "contains useless water for cleaning bongs/pipes". They just said "contains useless water". So I was correcting them, and stating why the water isn't useless (for all applications). If they did indeed state that it's useless for cleaning bongs / pipes, then I wouldn't have said the "facts", because it was understood that they meant in a specific situation. But, again, they didn't, they left it open-ended; making it sound like 70% is just bad always because it has more water in it, which isn't the case.


bolonga16

No but you're comparing function of solvent strength to a different application. Again, we are not disinfecting anything so 70 is not better than 90. And in this case the water IS useless


ManaPot

>90% isn't bad for cleaning like this. Let's all just skip over the first sentence I said. 🙄


SomeOldHippieChick

Iso won’t evaporate that quickly when cleaning a bong so you’re good to go! It removes/dissolves the resin- that’s the key here.


Hatedpriest

>for disinfecting things Yes. But if you're soaking your piece in it, evaporation isn't a concern, so you want to use the highest concentration possible. This is the difference between using iso as a cleanser or a sanitizer.


ManaPot

Yes, exactly. We aren't disinfecting it though, right? So 90% works here. Also why I literally start my comment with: >90% isn't bad for cleaning like this.


Hatedpriest

Ha! Missed that part! My bad. Carry on


ciownu

This is true for cleaning things that are not hydrophobic. The more water in your isopropyl solution, the less it works because it will be repelled more. The Resin/tar/goo whatever tf you wanna call it is comprised mostly of fat and oils, so 90% would work faster in this case because it will have more isopropyl alcohol in direct contact with the fat/oil cells, causing them to break down chemically. Then you can just rinse with water and you’re good to go! :)


SlumpLorddd

Yeah but the alcohol and salt trick isnt to “disinfect” its to get all the resin off or softened up. After the initial clean I always use some more alcohol and salt to make sure shes sparkling clean.


IcyHotKarlMarx

My preferred solvent is 100% acetone. No salt needed.


Violated_gator3312

Damn thanks homie


SomeOldHippieChick

90% iso… never 70. 70 isn’t nearly as good.


AFI_non_enforcer

People would unscrew it to stash a small bud in the chamber for later.


EnerGeTiX618

I had one & so did my dad, lol! My friends & I called it a chamber pipe, not sure of an official name, but we'd put some buds in the chamber to collect resin to make them stronger. This is back when I was a teenager, like 28 years ago. I'd never do something like that now as it didn't taste very good, but got me where I was trying to go. Back then a lot of these pipes were made out of lamp parts, as in electrical fixtures. I do recall that head shops used to sell them put together in that manner, I remember buying one at Trendsetters (head shop in Harvey, IL that's been there forever). Regarding getting it apart, it's just old resin on the threads preventing it from moving, heating it up with a torch a little bit or dropping it in boiling water may be enough to break it lose.


Violated_gator3312

It unscrews fine i was just wondering why it did lol


WiscoBrewDude

You could also but the pieces individually and have a multi colored pipe.


NoYoureACatLady

30 years ago this was almost my exact pipe


[deleted]

Try 25-40 years ago, dad.


Character_Cupcake856

90s pipes I had in HS


_SundaeDriver

We used to put buds in the chamber, then smoke them when they were covered in resin. The good old days


liams_dad

Chamber buds


Character_Cupcake856

Did we all hang out cuz that was what we did too.


H1landr

80s. I had one too.


Grey_Orange

I always knew this pipe as a "Resinator" or a chamber pipe.


Violated_gator3312

Interesting name lol


6rynn

noseburners :) my dad was a teen in the 70s smoking on this, and he still has one


Violated_gator3312

Noseburners😂gonna need some more context bro


Solarxicutioner

Short pipe. When you light it's close to your face. Might singe your nose hairs if you're not careful.


RoughEntrance6109

That's how I feel about those short dugout one hitters. Always singeing my damn mustache


Violated_gator3312

Its prob ab an inch and a hapf from my nose


Solarxicutioner

I might have a long schnozz then. Idk


QueefLatifahBitch

The mustache trimmer


Violated_gator3312

Sweet bro i mean i like it its a nice bowl


Jerkofalljerks

These were EVERYWHERE!! In my 40’s and can confirm that these were cheap, available and did the job


Violated_gator3312

My dad and my uncs used to do alot of dumb shit lmao i believe this is the bowl that saw it all


Jerkofalljerks

They wee great bc you could us to make grab and bong


Violated_gator3312

Once i get the money i wanna get a nice bong like im gonna ball out a lil bit but what kind would u say is the smoothest i dont want a gb just yet


Jerkofalljerks

Anything glass is great honestly. Start simple and from experience cheapies from the gas station or online are fine. Once you know what you like to smoke/lung capacity is then select a permanent pricier piece.


Violated_gator3312

Okay i mean im prob jus gonna hit a flea market then😂😂


Jerkofalljerks

No shame in that! Make sure you look closely, I’ve gotten pieces home that I didn’t realize I couldn’t clean or wouldn’t pull through proper. Try a pot box from Hemper! We love most of the ones we got from them


Violated_gator3312

Sweet i also kinda wanna try daily high clubs box but im waitin for july cause merica


Jerkofalljerks

Have both! And tried the cannabox. Would avoid them and compare Hemper and dhc. Also keep your eyes peeled dhc will sell flash sales on past boxes here and there.


Violated_gator3312

Also wouldnt happen to know a good way to not have to pay up the ass for an urgent care? I shit you not 15 mins after i replied to you i fucked up my knee bad


Violated_gator3312

Ok thanks man


Peaches109

Looks like my very first pipe. I remember lighting up my first time, brand new screen, almost coughed up a lung. I even remember the case it came in. I think it was called a pipefitter kit or something. I used to fill the big chamber with weed so it would get stronger as smoke moved through it, then smoke it after it "cooked" for a while. It either worked well or was a placebo effect but I thought it was cool.


Violated_gator3312

Yk im gonna try that and is it bad i dont got a screen? I just pack mine a lil extra tight and i dont pull super hard but it works like a charm havent been scooby snacked in like 2 months


YoungJohnJoe

I was going to say we used to stick a nug inside the pipe to get coated in resin.


Peaches109

Nah you'll be fine w/o a screen. My daughter is always telling me how bad they are to smoke through.


Violated_gator3312

I mean i just made a pick which makes it a breeze to get out the ash and shit


Violated_gator3312

Used a paperclip and electrical tape for the handle lol

Violated_gator3312

According to my uncle this the one my dad used since 93


MrTurmeric

Yea those where the days got mine in 97 still break it out sometimes.


Violated_gator3312

Tbh while the hits arent as smooth as with a newer glass bowl that’s got the vent hole thing but it hits harder


Helpful_Librarian_87

Sheesh, I had one like that in ‘87. Good times were had by many


iAmSpAKkaHearMeROAR

Anybody remember when we used to unscrew the bottom of all the faucets/taps in the house to take the little faucet screens out and use them in our secret metal pipes?


newharlemshuffle_

Silver screens are like 5 for $1


Bobbyanalogpdx

Sure, but when we were teenagers and needed one now, they came out of the tap. And then your dad would wonder wtf happened to them all.


Random__Bystander

That's not what they were asking


newharlemshuffle_

Then, what were they asking for?


iAmSpAKkaHearMeROAR

I was asking if anybody remembered when we used to unscrew all the faucets and taps to take out the metal screens to use in our secret pipes. Not sure how that was unclear. Perhaps I need to elaborate? When I was a teenager, we didn’t have the option of just walking to a head shop buy some screens. There were many reasons for that…. mostly the urgency of having weed right now and having a clogged bowl… So the faucets got it, and then we pissed off into the woods or somewhere we could smoke without getting caught before our parents came home from work.


gride9000

The dream of the 90s is alive


MaskedCommitment

These things are scientifically proven to get you more baked, but at the cost of your lungs


Violated_gator3312

I mean when i dont got boof from my fucking plug its great but my plugs flower is b tier at best imma jus order an ounce of mids from bay smokes cause the shits legal anyhow


MaskedCommitment

Yeah I used to have plugs that sold mids regularly, along with some sketchier plugs selling laced/fake shit, I’m in a legal state tho so I just hit the dispensary and don’t gotta worry about none of that bullshit


Violated_gator3312

They needa go ahead and federally legalize it cause im tired of having to tip toe the line/ just not get caught cause i cant afford to move


Violated_gator3312

Baysmokes has thca mid size buds that are like 100 a zip


Grey_Orange

Dude... back in my day a zip was $400. You guys have no idea how good you have it lol


Violated_gator3312

Bro i used to pay 80 an 8th in hs


Violated_gator3312

I bought off my buddies buddy and tbh i shouldve jus gone with some random ass plug


Violated_gator3312

That was only like 4 years ago too😂i was new and thought thats what weed costed


SnorvusMaximus

These ones are nickel plated and considered harmful to smoke out of. The space inside was to be used by some to put a nug inside so that it’d get covered with tar to make it a little stronger before smoking it, which is even more harmful and frankly nasty as all hell. In other words, don’t smoke out of it for the sake of your well being. We’re in the 21st century now so get a glass pipe instead.


xxcali559xx

Yeah these always tasted like coins


SnorvusMaximus

I remember that pronounced metal taste even though I only used one once or twice decades ago.

Violated_gator3312

Interesting my dad did mess with alot of random shit


Albert_Im_Stoned

Yes the lamp parts were classic and easy to clean


AFI_non_enforcer

Classic piece. We used to put small buds in the chamber to get all resin, tasted bad but got you stoned.


jshupe924

The stem is also a chamber. Pack some weed in there, acts as a filter, then take said weed out after a few bowls and smoke it.


lanphear7

Fuck yeah, had one through most of high school. Lost it at some party years ago, and I’m pissed because it was absolutely perfect for hash lol


Violated_gator3312

I never bring my personal pieces to a party lol i made a wooden bowl a while ago just to bring around


illiniaaron80

This took me right back to the 90s


Matt_the_Alien

Festival folks call this a hippie pipe


sane-asylum

I have one. U take it apart to clean it. Holy crap, I stand corrected.


DisorganizedSpaghett

I have one like it now..pretty easy to pop open and clean, they sell at basically any gas station with THC off-products and accessories


Bt_1039

It was a different time, a simpler time


4twentyHobby

Those were the standard for a long time. When camping everyone would bring their pipe collection and we'd Frankenstein together crazy huge pipes. I just wish I'd have known about iso and salt. Cleaning was a nightmare.


Violated_gator3312

Sounds like a blast😂


Projectbadass251

Looks exactly like one of the first pipes my stepdad gave me


[deleted]

Standard metal pipe design from the late 90’s early 00’s. Best thing about these were the parts were interchangeable.


dakfan77

George Bush senior era bro


Violated_gator3312

Seems about right lmao my dad smoked over a very long period


Cantproveididit

Recognize? I still use mine to this day. I got it from my father in law when he passed.


Jalawa36

We used to stick a nug in the chamber and let it get all tarred up. Seems kinda gross now, but we dug the hell out of it!


darthrosco

Fill the chamber with weed


Adiddy1980

Smoke with glass, smoke with class.


Violated_gator3312

Im not exactly the definition of class lmao im a 19 year old welder lol


Adiddy1980

We all start somewhere. I had one when I was in highschool. It’s ok if that’s all you have, but you’ll be happier with a glass piece.


BrutalTea

That's old tech from 80s and 90s


superdownvotemaster

That large section in the middle is for your *”chamber-weed”*


Violated_gator3312

Yeah i was wondering why there was so much bud in there when i first opened it up once i got it


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


Violated_gator3312

Bro i want evidence of some of the ones ive heard of it sounds badass


BigJr46

That's a antique, keep the tradition going.


_expirement626

Bro….. this was my first bowl in 7th grade. WTF. Memory unlocked . That’s was 16 years ago


Jewbus316

Everyone's first pipe. I had one, and I made a handle out of red cedar for it. It served me well for years.


Genesis111112

Resinators!!!! The part from where your thumb is all the way to the "bowl" part are larger than normal and are meant to put small buds in there to collect resin. Then you can put some kief on the bud and coat it with more ground up bud. Your packed bowls should last way longer than 25 hits.


Violated_gator3312

Dayumn that sounds fun imma try dat


Puff-the-Dragonn

Those pipes suck. Damn I hate those pipes.


Andtom33

Yes, but don't use it..


flyer234kj

I have one similar and I've always assumed it's to make them easier to clean. Makes sense too since old heads are too lazy to clean a pipe. This old man I know has a bag of glass pipes sealed shut with resin cuzz he just smokes till he can't draw air and gets a new one


DaDz-StONeD

I grew up with the same pipe.. When I was in high school I would open the chambers and stuff it full of nugs that I would keep in there for months waiting for that rainy day when I was weedless… when that day came I would bust that mf open and pull out these gooey rezzed up nugs that would last of hours smoking..


Hirklitschka

These basically evolved from window levers


Violated_gator3312

Lmaooo deadass?


Hirklitschka

yup. Popular windows handles from the 1920s I believe. https://images.app.goo.gl/yfCUe9uxs3tKBJdCA


kfmush

When I was in high school, the thing we did was stuff our bud in the "throat." We called it a "resinator" because the smoke would soak onto the bud in the chamber, supposedly making it extra potent, for later. No idea if that's what it actually was for or not.


DustWarden

Yes, I remember high school. Kind of.


JerGigs

Wow, I took my first hit out of that same pipe back in high school...20 years ago? Blast from the past


Violated_gator3312

Glad i could bring ya some nostalgia


bananaman_420

That looks like the basic "weed pipe" but made out of plumbing parts


bananaman_420

Or hash pipe whatever you call it


mozzzz

I have this same bowl, but red. my buddy gave it to me a while ago, its a bowl of bowls, pretty much. you take one of the bowls off and swap it with the one on top and you got yourself a resin bowl. fairly easy to clean too. that "buddy" owes me like $500...


Violated_gator3312

Interesting but holy shit that’s a good chunk o money


mozzzz

yeah I foolishly gave him like $200 to buy some pot so we could sell it and get rich. his cousin ended up smoking it all... then we were dry one night so I fronted him his paycheck like $300. eventually he moved away and I'm pretty sure I won't be seeing that money in this lifetime. I should have taken him to small claims when the check he gave to me to cash bounced... (then he kept both his paycheck and the money I fronted him)


outofthedust

haven’t smoked for 30 years, but I remember those. The cool kid in the neighborhood had one.


ScoobyDoubie

My dad has one


loosesnuscaboose

I had a resonator pipe in the 70’s/80’s.


amscraylane

This is also the reason none of my friends houses had filters in their faucets

Old school pipe


[deleted]

Had a flashback for a min and thought I was late for algebra class, lol. Old school 90s.


Violated_gator3312

LMAO that made me snicker a little bit


Angelycan

Just gave one to my kid last week. Love how the bowl has a screw on cap. Pro tip: you can shove some nugs into those chambers and let them get all resin coated before moving them to the bowl. Don't smoke out of crappy unidentified metal though.


Violated_gator3312

According to my uncle i shouldnt have anything to worry about


Timmerdogg

My buddy Paul had one like that. It was always a good time when we smoked the weed that he had stored in that middle chamber all caked with resin. The good old days


Violated_gator3312

Im def tryin the resin thing and im def coating it in keif if i got enough


Bagain

Just remember that your smoking the stuff that a bong removes so much less of it gets into your lungs. Tar etc…


STL_TRPN

Brass pipes were the thing in the '90's. A friend turned me onto glass one day after realizing we were inhaling heated metal fumes. Been using ornate glass pipes since '98.


Violated_gator3312

Think mines steel tbh


citygrrrl03

Hash pipe! Those smoke bubble hash like a champ.

LOL that was my first pipe, but it was anodized and each piece was colored.

Do not smoke out of that!


Violated_gator3312

Y not ive had like 2 people say that noone else seems worried ab it thi


[deleted]

The metal that it it made of is super toxic.


Violated_gator3312

Ive had a couple people say that but this is straight up stainless


Violated_gator3312

Or at least mine is


Bagain

It looks like something that could be made from hardware store plumbing pieces but these were produced for sale out of appropriate metals. The large cavity was to put cannabis in as it would pick up the resins from the smoke. You then smoke what was in the pipe. Now a days I think we know a bit more about this but that’s what we did back in the day.


Zatchillac

Bought one from someone in high school (early 2000s) and my friends brother stole it before I ever got to use it.. Then he eventually got caught with it. Then he eventually died in Afghanistan from an IED


Violated_gator3312

Karma ig? But i mean he had to have done somethin else bad to get that bad of karma lmao


Zatchillac

He was kind of a bad kid, but we eventual became friends after getting drunk together one night. Biggest funeral my town has ever seen

nitevizhun

One of my best friends had this exact pipe. He named it Steely Dan.


ruxahn

This kind of pipe is often mass produced Chinese shit metal, come in big boxes or bags of bulk parts, and get slapped together usually by some dude at a head/smoke shop or gas station, sometimes they come in bulk packed already thrown together but generally are interchangeable with eachother, and you can find them online easy enough. you can make them longer or do other goofy things with them, a lot of acrylic pipes tend to have these or variations as bowls, screwed into a little shit aluminum downstem through a rubber grommet. I had a sex shop down the road from me sell them as pieces out of a toolkit-like box and would make oddball versions of this.


ironic-island

I had this exact one throughout high school haha

piss_container

that's like one of those Navajo pipes, it's for display


Banality_

i find a wider chamber hits a lot softer, esp with a shorter pipe that has ress time to cool and diffuse I wonder if the metal makes it smoother by absorbing heat too? seems like a nice piece! never seen one like that


Violated_gator3312

I just noticed this post kinda took off
