Epoxy pipes are a great way to smoke resin, but they come with their own set of safety hazards. To get the most out of your epoxy pipe, you’ll want to make sure it’s free from any toxic materials that could be potentially harmful to your health.
One common question we receive is: Can I smoke out of an epoxy pipe? The answer is yes! Epoxy pipes can be made out of several different materials including glass or metal but there are some precautions you should take before smoking from one.
Can you smoke out of an epoxy pipe?
If you’re looking to get high, an epoxy pipe is not a good idea. Epoxy is a type of hard plastic that won’t burn and will melt when you try to smoke out of it—which makes it very difficult to get resin in.
This may seem obvious: after all, smoking resin from an epoxy pipe would be like trying to smoke through a plastic baggie; there’s nothing there for you!
However, some people still think that they can smoke through their epoxy pipes because the plastic doesn’t burn away as the paper does with regular rolling papers.
The truth is that those things don’t really count as “smoking” anything at all—just like trying to light up your empty cigarette package will only end up making some kind of weirdly-smoky smelling incense stick out of nowhere instead (which I guess would still technically be considered “smoking” something…if only by technicality).

What metal is safe to smoke out of?
First, let’s go over what metal is safe to inhale. The answer is any metal that doesn’t rust or corrode easily. Brass, copper, and stainless steel are all good options because they won’t rust when exposed to the moisture of your breath. Aluminum is also a good choice because it doesn’t corrode easily either.
Now let’s talk about what isn’t safe to inhale: any metal that corrodes quickly with exposure to air, such as iron and aluminum oxide (the main reason why aluminum foil burns so hot).
In addition, some metals may be safe when smoking out of them but not when inhaling through them—this includes things like tin foil or copper pipes which can get hot enough during your session that they can cause an unpleasant burning sensation on your lips!
How do you clean resin out of smoke?
If you’re cleaning resin out of a metal pipe, the easiest way to clear it is with a q-tip. If you have a ceramic or glass piece, be sure not to use so much force that you risk breaking your smoke device.
If that happens and the pipe breaks, it won’t be good for anyone involved!
If you have an acrylic bong, there are some things to keep in mind when cleaning it: First off, do not use anything abrasive like steel wool or sandpaper! This will scratch up the surface of your bong pretty badly.
Instead, opt for something like baking soda if there is any residue left over after smoking; this should help to neutralize any unpleasant smells left behind from previous uses (or in my case—from too many late nights spent watching Rick & Morty).
Another option is using alcohol wipes if there aren’t any spots on your acrylic piece but want to make sure everything looks clean as well as smells fresh before packing another bowl full of delicious aromas (which I highly recommend doing).
How do I keep my pipe clean and resin?
You can keep your pipe clean and resin-free in the following ways:
- Use a pipe cleaner. These are available at most tobacco shops and head shops, or you can make one by rolling up some cotton string into a tight ball. Simply insert the rolled-up string into your pipe and then pull it out through the other end. The resin will come off easily with this method!
- Use a pipe brush. If you have more stubborn resin on your pipe, try using an old toothbrush or another small bristled brush to clean it off of the walls of your bowl piece.
- You can also use both methods together!
Can you make epoxy Bongs?
Yes, you can make an epoxy bong. An epoxy bong is made out of epoxy resin and other materials like glass or metal. The first thing to know about making an epoxy bong is that it’s not going to be cheap.
But once your friend has one, he’ll never want anything else again! So here’s how:
- You need something that will hold the water when it freezes so that it doesn’t leak all over the place. This can be either a Pyrex glass container or some kind of metal container like stainless steel or aluminum (although I don’t recommend this because aluminum absorbs oils from food). If you’re using glass then get yourself some aluminum foil so that if any water leaks out at all then just wrap it up before putting everything back together again later on down the road when everything has dried off completely after being exposed outside in the elements without protection first hand too long enough until corrosion occurs due to oxidation which is bad news bears man don’t do this ever.
Is resin safe for cigarettes?
You shouldn’t use resin for cigarettes, joints, blunts, bongs, bubblers—not even pipes. If you have a spliff and want to smoke out of it with resin from your collection instead of tobacco leaves or hashish (or if you’re not sure what else to do with them), that’s fine—but keep in mind that there are some risks involved.
If you want to know more about the dangers associated with smoking out of a glass piece made from an epoxy-based material like resin or fumed quartz (also known as “black glass”), here’s what we’ve learned:
Is acrylic safe to smoke from?
Acrylic is a type of plastic that is not food-safe, so it’s definitely not safe to use as a bong or pipe. Acrylic is also not safe for use as smoking devices that contain water.
If you want to smoke out of something made from acrylic, you can consider using an acrylic bowl or nail.

Can you smoke out of galvanized steel?
Can you smoke out of galvanized steel? No. It is not safe to smoke from galvanized steel.
Zinc is the metal used in galvanizing and it can be harmful if inhaled, especially in high concentrations. In addition, zinc may cause an allergic reaction in some people who come into contact with it (such as through inhalation).
Because of these health concerns, we do not advise smoking out of or using any products that are manufactured from galvanized steel as they will likely contain hazardous levels of zinc which can cause serious health problems if inhaled over time.
Conclusion
I hope this article has answered all of your questions about how safe it is to smoke from an epoxy pipe. Remember that no matter what, you should always be careful when using these materials!
