How can I smoke a joint with less smoke escaping?
Contributed By anaujiram

this little gizmo relies on the same principle as the fabric softener tube. using a fabric softener tube with a joint is pointless, because half the joint burns while you're not inhaling, smoking up the room. this device traps the smoke, keeping the whole session much less pungent.

Materials:

2 film canisters (preferably the black ones with the grey lids)
1 of the lids
1 pen tube to use as a mouthpiece
glue (I used superglue)
tissues
2 rubber bands
Step 1: Look at the bottom of one of the canisters. Cut a hole with a diameter of a little more than 1/2 inch in the center of the bottom.

Step 2: take the OTHER canister and cut squares in the sides so that there are like 1/4 inch strips of plastic left holding the bottom to the top. the cutout squares should go almost all the way from the top to the bottom.

Step 3: Glue the bottom of the FIRST canister to the top of the SECOND canister. You should have one continuous tube about 4 1/2 inches long.

Note: When the glue is dry, you should wash the thing out for a few minutes. Make sure you don't use water soluble glue.

Step 4: take the lid and cut a hole with a diameter slightly less than that of the mouthpiece right in the center of it. next, jam the mouthpiece into that. It should be a tight fit, giving you an airtight seal.

Step 5: take a tissue and fold it in half. wrap it around the canisters so that it covers the holes you cut in the second canister. secure the tissues with the rubber bands.

Your finished product should look like the stuff in the attached picture, except that I forgot to put the tissue on for the photo.

When you're ready to light up, stick the mouth-end of the joint into the mouthpiece so that it will go inside the canisters when you put the lid on. Light the joint and put the lid on. The tissue around the cut out squares keeps smoke from getting out, but lets air get in when you take a hit.

I don't think there's anything else left to say, but if if I left something off, or there's something you don't get, or you have a modification to make it work better, post it!

Oh, and REMEMBER, there is no point in making this unless you ALSO use the fabric softener tube. My device only traps the smoke from the joint itself.

Have fun!
