My first pipe was a metal pipe. Not all metal pipes are bad. You can buy nice ones. Also it was cool having a metal pipe because pretty much all metal bowls are interchangeable. I could take my pipe over to my friends house where he had a bong with a metal stem. He had one small cone bowl, and a huge party bowl. When we didn't have enough weed for the party bowl, but still more than two people, I would take out my pipe and we could use the bowl from it. I had a lid for it too. It screwed right on the top of the bowl and had a little hole in the top. I could smoke with the lid on to conserve pot. I would just post a picture, but unfortunately it got thrown out a car window last summer.
R.I.P. "Crazy Eight" my first bowl. and the best metal bowl ever...
anyway my point is... metal pipes can be cool. Sorry for rambling
Don't get me wrong, I would take glass over metal anyday. I own only glass pieces now (except for my hookah). I just don't think metal bowls are all that bad.
