how to glass screen, easy awesome

[dsm1042]

As usual, this is kind of an oddball idea. I will make a vid and post later. But I wanted to get it out there so that some of you could give it a try if you have time.

What you will need for the way I set it up:
1) Phunnel bowl- prefer medium or large
2) Scallimod
3) crushed and tumbled glass like you get in a craft store. It is like aquarium gravel, but glass. They tumble it to take the sharp edges off. I don't recommend trying to crush up glass guys. Bad things seem to happen and the stuff I'm talk about is readily available. People put it in vases for decorative bs.
4) two 33mm Three Kings
5) I used Starbuzz Mango and my heat concentrator on top

Okay. I loaded the bowl to about 1/4" from the top sort of loose which is normal for me.
Layer on the crushed glass a little over the rim and thenpack down enough to flatten it out level across the top. No glass should be over the mod though.
For the foil I did it like I always do; two sets of holes maybe the size of a quarter to where when you sit the coals on the air pulls directly under them.
Fire that bad boy up as usual and put a concentrator on if you have one.

Theory: glass is not a good conductor, but it heats really quick. It also cools quick. My idea was that the problems with burning would be easier to avoid and hope to get a bit better heat. I expected it to take more heat just because of the glass buffer.
What I didn't expect though is that it smokes alot better and has more flavor than usual. What I'm thinking is also happening is that as the heat routes through the glass it is dispersing across more area once it hits the shisha.
So what would normally be too much heat seems to make for a more efficient heating.

Give this a try guys. I know it may sound like bs but I'm not jerking you chains on this. I think that those that try it will be as floored as I am with the results.
I will make the vid in case my wording here is not getting what I'm doing across well. As usual post your thoughts pro or con and see what you guys think about it. You can still burn it so keep that in mind... at least the shit ain't stuck to the foil if you do though. smile.gif

oh, and ARRRRRRRRR!!!!!! Sorry for the long time on putting something else out sad.gif

do everything this guys says, minus the foil

carefull with this there are chemicals in this process and if it melts to high heat then its fumes are killer litterally

its just broken glass tossed in a tumbler to get rid of the shrp edges,
anyway guys it works greeat, once the glass heats up it hits amazingly, also the heat is even and constant no matter how much coal is left, i highly recommend it and will not being using foil any more
