Making vaporizer at home, have question

[mrdevious]

lol, yes I know there's been too many of these, but I really do need to ask this.

So I'm making myself the lightbulb vaporizer, but all I can find is the lightbulbs that are white, not clear. I dont' know if it's correct, but I heard from one person that you should only use a clear one because the shit used to make them white can damage your brain. anybody know what the true case for this is?

also, I have some clear ones but they're very long and thin, would that still work ok?

[Zero Revolt]

That's not true. When you cut off the end of the light bulb just rinse the inside of it out with water as the white stuff is just a powdered coating and it will wash out easily. I would'nt have you do something that would hurt you bro. If you want my guide do a search on this site for "Homemade Vaporizer Construction" It's all in detail there.

Good Luck.

thats right wash it out!

[mrdevious]

thanks for the info Zero :) . I just finished making it after about 20 minutes work, my back's killing me from leaning over the stuff working, but it's all done and worth it now :) . however, the metal part doesn't cut easily for some reason with mine, so I had to break it right off and use electrical tape to hold on the nozzle.

[Zero Revolt]

no the bud does not burn but the chemical compisition of the bud breaks down so no you dont see it.

[Soleman]

so do u light the bottom of it? and let it get ot for like 30 seconds.. or while u ar elgihting it do u inhale from the one straw? im kinda confused i know im a newb! but hey it only took me abotu 10 minutes to make and it looks sweet.. thanks alot =0) goign to use it tonight !!

I'm resurrecting this thread because of one last question, that being with a lightbulb vaporizer (which I have), when you hold the flame under it, how do you know when the vapor is released? is there some set time you hold the flame or something?

[mono repin]

You will see a light mist, not smoke but mist, that is vapor. Right when I see that happen, I shake the bulb (as per experimentation, and directions reguarding eagle bills vaporizer). What this does is release TONS of the mist. If you do it right, its a super clean hit. If you hold it too long, you get smoke instead of the mist.

[mrdevious]

This is just frustrating me fucking hell out of me. No matter how long I hold, if I don't keep it there till the damn thing is filled with disgusting tasting smoke, it doesn't do a thing, doesn't get me high at all. I don't know what the fuck to believe with these stupid lightbulbs anymore.
