Its really actually simple:
melt butter
add bud(low low low low low heat setting or a crockpot w/ a temp control)
I use the crockpot on low for 6-12Hrs then strain(cheesecloth, a thin shirt or cloth of some type)
Stick the liquid butter into the fridge and viola.... It will congeal to a solid block for easy manipulation.

The cheapest vape that works pretty well would be the Aromazap. Use to sell for $100. Now it sells for $135 USD. (that's including shipping)
Hotbox, Vapolution, and Vapor Brothers all have devices in the same price range.
VaporGenie is a pipe that uses an anti-flame screen. I think those sell for around $35-50 USD.
If you're looking for a healthy solution. And a solution that doesn't use lots of green ....
A vape is probably your best option. You can also cook with the dried leftovers of the vape.

lol yeah eating is definately the healthiest, with vaporizer's in close second. Now when you add the bud to the water you want to make sure its ground as fine as possible, that way theres more surface area and the THC and other cannabinoids(lol its trying to tell i spelled it wrong!) have a better chance of being leached into the butter. And a vaporizer essentially boils THC without burning any plant matter. Good luck and happy toking!

Sorry to get off topic here, but I heard it was just a myth that you need heat to activate the THC in the pot? At least that's what Erowid says: Erowid Cannabis Vault : Cannabis Consumption FAQ

lighters give off heat, thats how they start fires.

you buy a vaporizer if you don't want to smoke.

Make some simple firecrackers. I don't know if this has been mentioned in this thread as I didn't bother to read yet, but making them is simple and delicious.
I prefer to use Almond Butter instead of organic P.B. as A.B. has a much higher fat content.
Check out the Recipes forum here on how to make them. They don't smell like cannabis at all when I make them. They barely smell at all actually and get me ripped.

hash oil im not sure if the recipe is still in their but i made some some time ago and it was FANTASTIC to eat, i had about a quarter of bud i didnt want i forgot why but we got really baked and decided to make some so we used a technique mentioned on cannabis.com and licked a plate clean each and were completely out of it the rest of the day
