Homemade vaporizor?
 

Hello!

I have a crappy china-made budget iron from walmart. We thought, how could you mess up an iron? Well obviously there's a way. The iron went to hell and it was recently replaced with a fancy black n decker.

I always enjoy DIY projects. Have a DIY turbo kit for the car, grow my own edible mushrooms/salvia/phalaris arundicea/morning glory, am working on a DIY projector, etc etc. Practically whatever I can build on my own, I want to build on my own.

Well the other day I says to myself, "I would sure like a vaporizor to smoke my tobacco, salvia, and whatever other things I may come across to be a bit easier on my lungs." About the same time I noticed our crappified iron, and decided I could probably use it in a homemade vaporizor. Of course I would take the heating element out of the iron...

Has anyone tried a similar project? Any tips? Anybody know where I can get an accurate thermostat that I can use to turn off the heat source when it gets to the optimal temperature for whatever chemical I am vaporizing? What glass isn't too porous so that the chemicals stay in the air instead of sticking to the glass?

Thanks folks :)

heat gun and fish bowl and tube

I saw one where a guy had used a heat gun a cigar tube and a glass jar to make a vapouriser. It was on overgrow before it got shut down. It worked in a fairly similar way to a bong but instead of sucking, you blew hot air through with the vaporiser which inflated a large bag with cool smoke.

You've reminded me how much i need to make one. My lungs are utterly fucked from all the weed i've been smoking recently.

light bulb vaporizer never seemed to fail me. if u need to know how to make it ill post it but dont feel like typing it right now as it was too effective about 5 minutes ago :6

i used to stuff my weed through the carb in my glass bowl and then just heat it from the bottom with a lighter. Worked great. Then i'd take a tiny screw driver and get all the weed out and sell it to losers at school who thought they were cool :6

Re: Homemade vaporizor?
 

If you use heat, you make steam...which is hot.

Why not just use a water bong with ice in it?

i've made one out of a light bulb. FInd a tweaker and get them to make you one, same concept. I've also made one out of an air popper. Strangely enough a beer bottle fits in an air popper nice, use a MGD bottle (clear glass). Takes maybe 15-30 seconds for the air popper to start vaporizing the pot.

Well, your buying ---- weed if its still got alot of water in it.

By heating the weed, not burning it, you reduce the amount of tar produced from incomplete combustion and if you keep the heat fairly low you vapourise the volatile chemicals (the good bits) without burning the plant material, your lungs don't end up quite as f@cked.

Using a bong just cools the smoke, but you still get all the tar etc.

Re: Homemade vaporizor?
 

Yeah, I read some article while looking for vap info that said some studies have shown water bongs are worse than a joint, not sure how but anyways...

Yeah, if you heat weed to 372F you wont get hardly as much tar because nothing is really burning. Much easier on the lungs, and instead of burning some of the thc you are just vaporizing all of it...so you'll get more out of your sack, get higher quicker, and it won't be as harmful.

I cut pot with water when I sell to people I don't like. You can add a decent amount of weight in an hour with some letuce.

Then sell the leftovers to Ryan... :6

if you're feeling frisky and have an ounce sitting around, hash oil is the best way.

Re: Homemade vaporizor?
 

hehe, my mates and i used to cultivate when we were in school. We'd use the trim to make jelly hash. Smoking that ---- makes weed look weak. Quite difficult to smoke pure BHO/ISO but mixing it with a bit of Kif improves the flavour and how easy it is to handle.

my friend made one with the soldering iron and like a glass bottle and a wooden base or somthing like that. everyone that kit it got really f'd up, also most threw up, not sure why, so i never tried it. i had flashbacks of the gravity bong with vomit on the floor next to it

Re: Homemade vaporizor?
 

this vaporizor is new on me...so what do you inhale the vaporised thc or do you burn all the bad ---- out of the weed then smoke the "healthy" weed thats left over...?

i say u guys are a bunch of -----s! god damn health concious pot heads....what the hell!! :6

Re: Homemade vaporizor?
 

solid

Re: Homemade vaporizor?
 

Yeah, you inhale the vaporised thc. I think the suggested temp is around 372F. It's hot enough to evaporate the thc but doesn't combust the rest of the material.

I'm not "health conscious" but after seeing how bad my pipes get, I prefer to not let my lungs get that bad. Not to mention you get a better thc-to-hit ratio (get higher quicker), it doesn't make you smell like weed, and it's something I could do at my apartment without worrying about neighbors smelling the evil marijuana.

Re: Homemade vaporizor?
 

You can enjoy being high without enjoying smoking. My lungs are always fucked and thats a bad thing.

Re: Homemade vaporizor?
 

I think I've seen that one done too.

you get a base to hold the soldering iron's tip up in the air and make like a metal bowl for the tip or something to hold you weed or w/e you're smoking. Then some kind of jar is used for the chamber to go around the bowl. The jar goes upside down over the soldering iron. Then in the lid you put a couple other holes so you can inhale through one and let air some in through the other.

I saw a really good homemade design for one somewhere. I'll find it.
