Ok I'm sure there are a thousand threads about apple pipes, but I'm not asking how to make one or whatnot... I was just wondering how efficient they are - as in would they be good for an incredibly small amount of bud? No other pipes handy and cans/foil are out of the question.
They're nasty imo.. A couple of my buddies and I smoked a few bowls off one and we got my buddy so high we dared him to eat it and he cracked it up and it was brown from resin.. Dude ate it in like 3 bites i almost barfed haha
You need a bowl though, so unless he has a wrench socket. He doesn't want to use foil (although tin foil IS non-toxic and won't mess you up). I never really understand efficiency of different devices, if you hit a small bowl out of an apple pipe and get all the smoke it's the same amount of smoke that you would get out of a glass piece, ableit with far worse pull. Pears are spiffy too.
I've found that with apple pipes every now and then you burn a bit of apple, which makes the bowl seem longer. Otherwise, yeah, your only issue is sucking in the weed...
Actually, the long, steady vacuum formation used to fill a waterfall with smoke produces optimal amounts of smoke. Seriously, try it some time if you haven't. They are a great indoor alternative to smoking if parents are around and bongs can't be ripped. By the way, I was assuming he had a socket on had... it's the only way to go.
