r1v3th3ad Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I re-use my heavy duty foil alllll the time, anyone else do this? I catch hell from my friends jordanneff, akammendzind, and garrett for it just about every time...I don't see the big deal...just think, I'm going green The only time I junk foil is when the shisha and juices are burnt onto it, which is rare with the way I've learned to pack a bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 nope...i use a new piece every single time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 new piece every time, as there is almost always something stuck to it. Or i tear it when it off the bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeDave Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 (edited) Obviously if I'm on the go and desparate for foil, I'll reruse it.. But if you have the ability/supplies to put new foil on, why wouldn't you? I also seem to notice that reused foil has already retained and taken on some heat, and caused burning on the foil. I don't know if this hinders the foil from doing it's job better or not, but I can only imagine it doesn't work as well.

PSU Smoker Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 there is always something stuck to mine. I have reused if I went through a bowl, repacked and was to lazy to go get foil. How many times are you re-using? is it still the same piece from a few years ago? cause if it is im gonna give you soo much shit for that lol ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 New piece of foil everytime, as it's always got tobacco burnt onto the foil when I take it off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruver Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I use the same foil over and over if the shisha hasn't stuck to it. At one point, I think I got about 30 uses out of one piece. Saves the time and hassle of punching new holes in the foil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 You guys must underpack your bowls pretty low... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruver Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I've found if I underpack, but compact the shisha to the same density that I would otherwise, that it works very well. As a bonus, the foil stays clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Rivet, could you post pics or a vid of how you underpack? I'd like to try it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 rivet has stated a few times that he deliberately underpacks his bowls...works for him. and i think he does it to get some kind of inkling of a buzz. it's one of the luxuries us heavy smokers can't obtain so easily.

Toxik916 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I always use a new piece of foil because there is always a bunch of blackened shisha stuck to it after I smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatonethere Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I never reuse foil. I have tried it once with an underpacked bowl, but shishasusally gets stuck to the old one, plus the seal is never the same as you could get with a new piece.

Stuie Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Scalli reuses foil all the time I know. I don't but I use to be able to recycle aluminum but now it's not so easy and I just don't. Roll of Foil is what 3 or 4 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1v3th3ad Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 I mean I guess I underpack, I never thought about it...I'll snap a pic with my webcam when I pack a bowl here after my hangover wears off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agunn1231 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 recently i've been re-using foil, unless its covered in too much shisha or if i rip it when i lift it off to load anew bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
