creative for a first, start looking into cooler shaped things of plastic. like the SOBE life water bottles, they're pretty darn cool...or other stuff like POM bottles..
metal pen tip? your sure your not inhaling bad chemicals and crap from that..as in well, paint on that tip so to say
hope not, lol, i rarely smoke from it, usually use my pipe. which is glass. but theres no paint on it, its pure metal, the part that worries me is the pen i use as a part of my downstem, being that right after the bowl is plastic it might be hot and cause some fumes.
