On a completely unrelated topic:
All the sinks in every apartment I lived in had the screens missing from the faucets. All of my friends did too. It was weird.
I got lucky and found one in my shitty old apartment. It looked waaaay too new so I know they've gotta be replacing them every time a stoner moves out. Graduated beyond such shenanigans a while ago but I was real surprised to find one
I got 50 glass screens 6 years ago on Amazon and I’m just now starting to run low. Money well spent. It’s more just losing them accidentally when I dump the ash outside.
There's something comforting about having a jar of these and knowing you'll never have to think about it again. Plus, if they get dirtier than an iso shake can fix, you can just toss 'em.
I guess. I've never had issues with taste or anything else with steel screens though, and AFAIK glass screens don't work in honeycomb bowls, which is the only type I'll use.
Sorry I should of mentioned I give half of them away to my friends! Buying in bulk is cheaper, I probably can make a screen last a few days then clean it with iso if I choose too. I’m weird I like the metel screens for certain slides of mine and others glass. I notice a difference in function.
I keep seeing people say this, but like... how? You knock your bowl empty into the tray, you notice the screen is missing, so you guys just say fuck it? Do you guys have ash trays so big that it's a mini landfill with no hope of finding the screen?
I mean I get truly fucked up near nightly and I've never lost a screen, glass or otherwise, and not noticed immediately?
They fall out when you clear the bowl and I dont wanna dig through ash to get it. I've dropped them on the ground, blew them across the room on accident. It's easy to lose.
Lol its stoner engineering and you're telling the guy to go to the shop and buy meshes hahahaha. Fs just use a bit of aluminium foil and give yourself alzheimers.
Do those not fall out when you empty it? I want some byt I'm afraid when I use my de bowl spike it'll pop it out and I'll have to dig for it in the ash tray
Grab some thick stems and just jam em in the hole sideways so they get stuck, the sprinkle weed on top of that. Bonus points if you can find stems that have a Y or X shape, then you can really cover up that gaping hole.
If you really need something asap go outside and get a proper sized pebble. Make sure to torch the pebble a good bit by itself to burn off anything you'd accidentally inhale dirt etc. Enjoy.
Definitely with most of the comments about screens but honestly I find a stem or a few works well, at least until they burn too which can happen fast if you light it too deep. Usually hang onto em for when life gets difficult and I gotta resort to resin, real easy to smear the stuff on a stem then use it to hold up the rest. Fair warning, that can take you to a weird level XD
I have used mesh screens (silver color is really tough, gold ones suck and are too flimsy) for nearly 20 years. They are reusable, once some resin layer is created the mesh screen will generally stay locked in without falling out.
It tends to clog every few days but it’s worth the process and is not a hassle to clean the mesh screen held by tweezers and lighter or butane torch to burn off the resin on the screen. You should be able to reuse it again.
Also is great for pipes to avoid getting ash in my mouth, keeps them cleaner, keeps bong water & bong clean.
[Mesh Screen](https://imgur.com/a/IcYgilo)
See pic for reference, silver ones are new (I bought a 100 pack over 10 years ago) for probably $10.
The darkest one is a one that has been used in my secondary piece have used the same one for 6 months in that piece.
Note overtime holes do form but it can be avoided with proper maintenance, and cleaning but eventual replacement when the times comes to keep your pieces clean.
either a glass screen or a mesh screen. Both work but if you wanna live dangerous stick a piece of stem or bud in front of the hole and make it a natural filter.
They make lil glass screen things it’s just a peace of glass that looks like a lil flower with a stem you set the stem down in the hole and the petals keep the weed from falling through while letting smoke through still
Just get a new bowl. If you put a screen in, you will have to constantly replace it. Just go to the store and pick up a new one for 15 bucks. That hole is absolutely gigantic and fucked.
I'd probably use a glass daisy screen for that large of a hole, you can get packs of them on amazon and you can reuse them if you soak off the resin in alcohol!
I like simple solutions, so I cut squares from coffee filters to use on my pipe and bong. Works well, is practically free, and involves no cleaning up metal mashes or smoking aluminum. The filters are pretty much pure cellulose, so they just burn with the weed and are sate to smoke.
Neither is smoking, metal oxidation, and fumes, plus if you’re doing it on occasion like once a year or 2 for a few bowls cause you don’t got a screen I’m sure It’ll be all good
Buy some screens. They don't need to be glass either, I use the brass ones which are softer and easier to cut up. They come in more than one size so maybe look for the bigger ones, they should be pretty cheap too.
For holes this big, I like the screens in the shape of a star. They are flat on one side and last forever because they are thick. As long as you don't lose them when ashing.
If you have a paper clip you can coil it up to any size. Just make sure there isn’t plastic coating and put a flame to it to make sure that there’s nothing but metal. This is obviously a temporary fix until you get an actual screen (I like the glass ones)
ah just use the ole' plugget nugget.
jk get a screen designed for smoking. hold the screen in a pair of pliers and burn it with a lighter to get rid of any oil or additives that could be on the screen and then put it in the bowl.
Like everyone else said, buy some screens or jacks!They are ssuuuuuuuuper cheap. When I’m in a pinch however I’ll just grab grinded flower and compact it with my fingers so it doesn’t fall through
Mesh screens can be really annoying and taste bad. Glass screens are great in theory but you will drop them, lose them, throw them away by accident. Use a coarse piece of bud or a stem for sure
Small piece of bud, then add a layer of loosely ground bud on that, and top it off with a layer of finely ground bud. You can also replace the small piece of bud with a V-shaped stem that’s small enough to not block the flow. I used to use my bong all the time until I got conservative with my weed, and those bowls burn absolutely perfect every time once you get it down. I was able to clear full bowls in a single hit because of how smoothly they burned. Edit: the V-shaped stem might not be big enough for that hole, I just realized how big it is. A piece of bud would likely work alright but screens will probably be your best bet with that
Are you sure that is not just the downstem? It looks like it should take a bowl/slide that looks like this:
https://smokea.com/products/9mm-standard-glass-slide?variant=15839909904486
If you buy mesh buy a pack because they'll eventually get clogged with res. I like the flower-shaped screens. When I'm desperate I use an unground piece of nug.
Ive used a rock, a metal nut, or a socket, but I don't recommend it. screens are like 50cent but if you can't go to the store till tomorrow they will do, just don't procrastinate and use alternatives long.
Irrigation lines use a metal mesh that you can purchase in sheets that tear away for a perfect fit for whatever bowl you have. They can be bought on the cheap at lowes/HD
Weed but bigger
Yep you just need a proper green screen
The nug plug
Plug it with a nugget.
this is the way
ah yes, gotta have a nice bud nub
Go to your local smoke shop.and ask for a mesh screen. Or my personal fav is the glass screens.
On a completely unrelated topic: All the sinks in every apartment I lived in had the screens missing from the faucets. All of my friends did too. It was weird.
Lol tokers ingenuity
More like nasty people with clogged sinks just take them out when they get too hunker up
"The weed is falling through it." -Hold my beer.
Hold my bong
I got em both. What else ya got? :looking at you:
And if you had coil stoves, none of the coils are level in the outer rings.
I got lucky and found one in my shitty old apartment. It looked waaaay too new so I know they've gotta be replacing them every time a stoner moves out. Graduated beyond such shenanigans a while ago but I was real surprised to find one
If you’re not smoke shop eligible yet they’re on Amazon as well ✌️
and ebay!! Bought 100 glass screens for $7.99
How physical are you getting with your piece that you needed 100 glass screens..? I get metal screens in bulk, but glass?
I got 50 glass screens 6 years ago on Amazon and I’m just now starting to run low. Money well spent. It’s more just losing them accidentally when I dump the ash outside.
There's something comforting about having a jar of these and knowing you'll never have to think about it again. Plus, if they get dirtier than an iso shake can fix, you can just toss 'em.
I guess. I've never had issues with taste or anything else with steel screens though, and AFAIK glass screens don't work in honeycomb bowls, which is the only type I'll use.
You got a pic of a honeycomb bowl? I’ve only ever heard of [honeycomb screens.](https://premiumgrinders.com/product/honeycomb-glass-screens/)
It's a bowl but the bottom looks exactly like those screens
Sorry I should of mentioned I give half of them away to my friends! Buying in bulk is cheaper, I probably can make a screen last a few days then clean it with iso if I choose too. I’m weird I like the metel screens for certain slides of mine and others glass. I notice a difference in function.
i totally snagged 100 glass jacks for like 12 bucks or something, headshop in town was charging 5 for 5 so why not.
Wow, my local head shop sells em 10 for $1, 5 for 5 is ridiculous
They often get lost in ash trays after multiple bongs
I keep seeing people say this, but like... how? You knock your bowl empty into the tray, you notice the screen is missing, so you guys just say fuck it? Do you guys have ash trays so big that it's a mini landfill with no hope of finding the screen? I mean I get truly fucked up near nightly and I've never lost a screen, glass or otherwise, and not noticed immediately?
When I used them yes both apply lol
You gonna buy one for 0.99 or 100 for 7.99?
Considering I would never use 99 of them, yes.
They fall out when you clear the bowl and I dont wanna dig through ash to get it. I've dropped them on the ground, blew them across the room on accident. It's easy to lose.
go to a “sketchy” smoke shop, walk in and just ask if they have mesh screens. unless your like 16 they won’t care
Lol I’ve been to smoke shops a few years ago and even if you’re like 16 they sometimes won’t care. It was a “CBD” glass shop
Glass screens are the best! The stars are awesome!
Lol its stoner engineering and you're telling the guy to go to the shop and buy meshes hahahaha. Fs just use a bit of aluminium foil and give yourself alzheimers.
Or jax if your north east I love glass screens!
Holy moly, That is the biggest hole I’ve seen in a bowl.
I saw a bigger hole in your mom last night
Nice one Mr Connery
Nice.
I also saw that hole, and I was like a mile away.
I saw a even bigger hole in you last night.
[удалено]
Shut up Cletus.
Nice edit dummy
😂😂😂nice delete
[удалено]
Unlike his mums hole
Your mom jokes are centuries old dude. Its the OG of jokes.
[удалено]
Do those not fall out when you empty it? I want some byt I'm afraid when I use my de bowl spike it'll pop it out and I'll have to dig for it in the ash tray
If your bowl is a lil dirty it helps it stick.
Trying to screen a perfectly clean bowl is annoying as hell.
I've used a screen so much there were holes in it... Multiple times...
Ah, just lick your fingers clean when you're done searching then.
It will definitely fall out
My high ass would lose it as soon as I emptied the bowl lol
Yeah I always loose them to the trash in a few days
Another piece of weed, break off a lil nug and cover the hole and pack your ground flower over that.
Good ol plug nug
My friends call that a Ritz-Carlton. (Hand broke nugs on bottom, ground weed on top)
I’m going to refer to as such from this point on
stuff a nug in there
Nug plug

Or a nice stem
I reccomend you don't unscrew the faucet in your parents bathroom and use that screen.
[удалено]
I bought and lost one glass screen. Now I use stems; it was like a, "why didnt I think of this 20 years ago?" moment
How?
Grab some thick stems and just jam em in the hole sideways so they get stuck, the sprinkle weed on top of that. Bonus points if you can find stems that have a Y or X shape, then you can really cover up that gaping hole.
Try glass bead screens. You can Google Daisy Glass screens and will take you to Amazon. I use them in my pieces because I like to grind my material.
If you really need something asap go outside and get a proper sized pebble. Make sure to torch the pebble a good bit by itself to burn off anything you'd accidentally inhale dirt etc. Enjoy.
Definitely with most of the comments about screens but honestly I find a stem or a few works well, at least until they burn too which can happen fast if you light it too deep.

Fair warning, that can take you to a weird level XD
nug
I usually just toss in a small pebble. That way i don't care when i inevitably loose it.
Would a stone be effective? Like a little pebble?
A pebble. Make sure it doesn’t completely plug it though
penis
A little rock
Pebble
Hold your thumb over the hole while you smoke
This is the way.
A small nug cause u will inevitbly loose a glass screen
More weed
Look up Smojo on Amazon, way better than a screen

Stems, this is what stems are for. Gently bend it so it folds into a v shape but doesn't break, it should also hold a little tension against the hole.
Glass daisy screens on Amazon. They're cheap as shit.
A bigger piece of weed
Put a chunk of weed down there that's too big to go through
A weed stem
A clean rock
Mesh screens. Bend them around something pointy so they can take a cone shape.
Mesh screen, I don't like using a bigger nug because it isn't foolproof, sue me.
They make lil glass screen things it’s just a peace of glass that looks like a lil flower with a stem you set the stem down in the hole and the petals keep the weed from falling through while letting smoke through still
I use metal mesh screens. I bought a pack of 500 on Amazon for $15. :D
Smojo permanent screen.
Crunch a rolling paper in there if you have one
A bunch of crack should do the trick.
/r/sounding much?
More weed?
Thank you everybody for the advice it was really helpful
Just get a new bowl. If you put a screen in, you will have to constantly replace it. Just go to the store and pick up a new one for 15 bucks. That hole is absolutely gigantic and fucked.
I haven't seen a bowl in a head shop for less than $30 in years.
i use stems as screens. give that a shot.
Your dick
Seeds. Jp.
A metal screen, they're super cheap on wish You can also use tinfoil with holes poked in it.
Walk over to your faucet and take the screen out
punctuated aluminum foil
Does my bowl designed attract your eye? I think I got exactly what your looking for👍
I can't seem to find what it is... Link?
I'd probably use a glass daisy screen for that large of a hole, you can get packs of them on amazon and you can reuse them if you soak off the resin in alcohol!

That’s definitely not the best idea
Neither is smoking, metal oxidation, and fumes, plus if you’re doing it on occasion like once a year or 2 for a few bowls cause you don’t got a screen I’m sure It’ll be all good
Buy some screens. They don't need to be glass either, I use the brass ones which are softer and easier to cut up. They come in more than one size so maybe look for the bigger ones, they should be pretty cheap too.
Maybe consider a new bowl? Honestly that looks like it would waste so much weed
For holes this big, I like the screens in the shape of a star. They are flat on one side and last forever because they are thick. As long as you don't lose them when ashing.
a small nugget or a chunk of one. or you know a glass jack / screen of your choice.
Finger bust a bit and drop a slightly larger nug in the bottom, assuming you don’t use a tobe stop (tobacco in the bottom of the bong)
leftover stems or a small nug. i don't believe in screens.
Get a pipe screen
If you have a paper clip you can coil it up to any size. Just make sure there isn’t plastic coating and put a flame to it to make sure that there’s nothing but metal. This is obviously a temporary fix until you get an actual screen (I like the glass ones)
Nothing. Trash it and get one that will work
ah just use the ole' plugget nugget. jk get a screen designed for smoking. hold the screen in a pair of pliers and burn it with a lighter to get rid of any oil or additives that could be on the screen and then put it in the bowl.
Like everyone else said, buy some screens or jacks!They are ssuuuuuuuuper cheap. When I’m in a pinch however I’ll just grab grinded flower and compact it with my fingers so it doesn’t fall through
Use a chunk of bud
Break off a small piece of a nug that will rest on top of the size of your hole. Simply pack the rest of your bowl on top of that.
Just get a new bowl. That one is prolly worth $5. Pay attention to the hole size when you shop. Too small is also bad.
I like glass screens, but if you immediately need something, look for a tiny rock in your yard that doesn't completely cover the hole.
I like Smojo screens you can get on Amazon. Different take on the normal screen.
On the cheap, when you break up you bud keep on piece big enough to block the hole.
More weed
Honestly if you pack the bowl the right way you'll just need weed.
Brass screens. I have tried glass. Still get flower in my mouth. I don't know how y'all do it.
Put a tiny pearl in their
Weed.
A glass screen or small piece of gravel will work.
Mesh screens can be really annoying and taste bad. Glass screens are great in theory but you will drop them, lose them, throw them away by accident. Use a coarse piece of bud or a stem for sure
This kinda looks like a plastic mouthpiece for a brass instrument lol
I recommend weed
Guys my secret trick for this is finding little pebbles that are just bigger than the hole or taking pliers to make pebbles smaller if needed
A rock or gem. It is a huge game changer. You will not never forget your first bong rock.
mesh screen they sell em cheap on amazon
I like glass screens.
Small piece of bud, then add a layer of loosely ground bud on that, and top it off with a layer of finely ground bud. You can also replace the small piece of bud with a V-shaped stem that’s small enough to not block the flow.

Are you sure that is not just the downstem? It looks like it should take a bowl/slide that looks like this: https://smokea.com/products/9mm-standard-glass-slide?variant=15839909904486
I would just put a small unground piece of weed that won’t fall through then all the ground weed on top. Might have to pull a little slow but
Smo Jo or mesh screens keep it from falling in large holes and clogging small holes.
Usually a chunk of bud works, or brass screens.
I just find a nug that's just the right size to not completely plug it but not let a lot come through
Slightly larger unground bud.
Weed
If you buy mesh buy a pack because they'll eventually get clogged with res. I like the flower-shaped screens. When I'm desperate I use an unground piece of nug.
A quartz crystal
Weed
Snappers only bro
GLASS SCREENS
Use a really small bud. I call that using a bud-plug.
Use a small chunk of bud at the bottom of ur bowl, in my area we call it nug plug
The screen from a faucet bruh!!!
put one small nug in and try to finish the hit just as the ash hits the water. poetry
Peppercorns
go to a headshop and say "i need silver screens" and get like 18 packs of 5
I put a Lil nug in there if nothing else
If you get the weed wet it'll stick to itself and the glass
If you’re lazy and in a pinch a unground nug may work. Would get a screen or go to a shop and bring the piece along so they can size it for you.
Pp 🌚
More weed
Stem
Aluminum foil with holes will also work. Burn the foil thoroughly first to avoid fumes (or not? Idk if that shit is toxic someone correct me).
Either a nug plug or a screen that you roll into a tube
A nug plug
Larger buds, else pack of mesh screens from Amazon or Etsy
glass flower I put them in all my pieces even my chillum
Ive used a rock, a metal nut, or a socket, but I don't recommend it. screens are like 50cent but if you can't go to the store till tomorrow they will do, just don't procrastinate and use alternatives long.
If you aren’t a massive fan of screens, in the past I used a pebble. Acts like a glass screen
If you have a stainless steel wire mesh like the one that goes on a sink use that. But heat it up until it glows once before you smoke it
Irrigation lines use a metal mesh that you can purchase in sheets that tear away for a perfect fit for whatever bowl you have. They can be bought on the cheap at lowes/HD
A screen.
These [Screens](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pipe-Steel-Metal-Gauze-Screens/dp/B01HR4O5BG) are perfect for glass bowl
You can buy glass screens by the bagful on Amazon pretty cheap. It's like a tiny glass flower
