Warning About Making Your Own Wind Cover


CrystalxSoul

Recommended Posts

Dont use a giant monster can like we did....

yesterday i got my shipment in from H-S which included a bunch of new flavors and even a new hookah for my friend. so we set up his new one and my Bambino, and about 20min into the smoke session with me and 4 friends we see my bambino is getting a bit cold, so we bust out my friends wind cover that he just made out of a monster can, and i must say it worked great, perfect height and size :D

but then out of freaking no where the stupid can caught on fire!!! so now my poor bambino had a head of fire on top of him and this took everyone by surprize. i went to grab the tongs to take it off but my friend beat me too it and poured his Arizona ice tea all over the top of it ruining the bowl and making my hookah sticky =_=

so yeah, dont use monster cans for wind covers...they catch on fire some how....

aluminum does burn. I have tossed many a can into a campfire only to see it vaporize. If his coal was close enough to the side or bottom of the can.WOOF. Also I wonder were there any holes to let some of that heat out?

Wow! I did something similar too haha we were at the pool and we wanted to smoke but it was really windy so i just got out a knife and cut a beer can in half and put it on top of the bowl. Luckily the can did not catch on fire but it burnt the hell out of my hand when i went to take it off. We didn't smoke the whole bowl because it was really hot out and it was giving me a headache so maybe we didn't smoke it long enough to catch fire. Makes you wonder what is in monster

Venger has a good point, mine had a bunch of holes cut in it to vent out excess heat.

Caila, beer cans usually have some kind of plastic/treated insides similar to soup cans.

Ok so i feel sorta stupid for not realizing this sooner but i take back what i said about monster cans catching fire.


So i talked to my friend again today about the incedent since hes the one who brought the can and it turns out that he cut off the top of the monster can so he could attack one of those screw on tops on it.....the fool used glue and the glue was what combusted in the heat <_<

so basically we had a glue fire not an aluminum fire XD


so go ahead everyone, make a monster windcover, they work great, in fact we went and spent a lil extra money to just buy one with the screw top on it ^-^

just dont be a noob and put glue on it <_<
