Heres how you do it step by step.
Heres how to make a lightbulb vaporizer i tried it a few days ago and it worked perfect, in typical vaporizer fashion there was no smell and the smoke was much cleaner. If you're interested, here's how to make one:
Take a burnt-out, regular sized lightbuild, and smash the cermic/metal end of it (shown in the red circle) with a spoon.(edit: Try a bulb that isn't burnt out if you want, but I hear they might implode or crack once you break the seal.)
Clean out all the wires, pieces, and bits of ceramic from the bulb. Next you MUST clean out the white frosting that coats the inside of the bulb. Shake some hot saltwater around inside the bulb. Try some water mixed with dishwasher detergent too. Rinse the bulb clean and let it dry (you don't want to be inhaling steam). It should be completely clear like this.
Next, get a bottle cap (almost any bottle cap will screw perfectly onto the bottom of the bulb). Punch two holes in it- widen one of the holes so you can fit a straw through.
The finished product should look like this:
To Use:Break up your herb and put it the bulb. Screw the cap on and hold the bulb underneath a flame (either a gas lighter or candle will work) until you see a green "vapor" swirling up. Drag slowly on the straw. Do not put the bulb right into the flame. The idea behind a vaporizer is that the weed is not being burnt or smoked, it is being heated until the THC vaporizes. Very smooth, give it a shot.
Makes a very good smoke. Thanks for the instructions! :thumbsup:
I DEMAND A VIDEO! i just want to see how it works when you heat it with bud in it.
awesome instructions CC... i think im gonna try this
as far as i know it dosnt make ash rather browned bud
video = GO TO WAYTOOMANY and look for it cause i'm too lazy to find it....and sad.....no bud and haven't had bud in like 3 days.........i'm broke
i'm definetly gonna make one of these thanks campbell.
heres the one i made. i little bit different design but it'll get the job done. i'm excited to use it later tonight i'll come back and tell you guys how it worked out.
Campbell have you ever had a problem with them shattering on you? I had one awhile back and I hit it 2 or 3 times and i went to grab it and it just bursted in my hand. Also, how high do you hold yours about the flame?
why does he say put two holes in the cap and widen one. dont u just need one hole??
ones for some air flow so you don't die trying to suck
Is it possible to shatter one by applying too much heat via torch?
What I'm wondering about this (and other small vapes like the VaporGenie) is how hot the air is when you inhale. My biggest problems with pipes is that my throat gets burnt occasionally, and I'd like to prevent that from happening if possible.
Also, for the amount of weed, you just need like a pencil eraser-sized pinch, right? Less weed, more highs - and you can use the leftovers for baking too, from what I hear.
Nah, the smoke is about the same temp as a bong. Also, I am going to answer my own question, and yes, it is possible to crack the bulb by applying too much heat.Quote:

what i do is plug both top holes while it is above the flame, then i uncover both to hit it. but the his is really dissapointing with this, i only got like 2 good hits, and the rest didnt have that much vapor, and the high was really clear. not as hazey and good as others. and the weed i had was the best bud i ever smokes, when i did it through my bowl, but horrible through my vape.Quote:

Which part in the inside of the bulb you mean TF?
dont worry about it i got it...but another thing how far away should i hold my flame? thanks though
Well it also depends on the bud but roughly about 2inches.
