Heat Wands, heat rods

[jimmy8778]

yeah, i mean my only real concern is the torch really, and soldering irons are more compact, and the point about it taking time to heat up is a very valid argument, but to me i feel as though if i cant wait 5 minutes while it heats up, then there is some issue that needs to be resolved before i smoke, but thats just me, but i think i would try and own both just as a sort of novelty of the whole thing.

you know, this sounds like a good idea and all, and i may try it if its not too expensive. but i feel that eventually for me this would turn painful. I know from personal experience when im high i have a tendency to become slightly forgetful when it comes to some things, and i can just imagine myself forgetting to turn the torch off, or passing the rod and handing the other person the hot end, or have that happen to me, but i still think it is a good idea, just not a super practical one.

Ow...can you imagine what it would feel like to grab the glass rod when its glowing orange?

unfortunately yes.

I accidentally grabbed a soldering iron once...

I have accidentally grabbed the glass when it was clear but not glowing. It takes like 2 minutes for it to cool off enough.

I was so confused upon first reading this.

But after twenty minutes of reflection and another bowl, I think I have figured out what got me.


So.......... you heat up this glass rod until it's pretty shades of whatever, then you use the superheated glass instead of a lighter for your bong? Right? That's the only thing that makes logical sense.

(lol, forgive me, I'm higher than a kite off my new bong. See, so now I'm interested in this method because I think I could try it with my bong)

haha Im with you bro, for a couple seconds their I was like ahhh.

I only use heat wands for hash I guess it would be cool for lighting bowls too. But Im not that much of a purist, although I never smoke with a zippo cause that shit tastes nasty

I have done that when it gets hot like honey and starts to liquify it driped on my leg. Instant fire and if I wasnt so quick to take off my pants like less than a second quick it would have been my bare leg with instant flames. The hot clear rod sucks to though, grab that and you will have a blister for more than a week.

my old chemistry teacher grabbed a clear (hot as hell) glass beaker with his bare hand in class one time....damn...he actually got glass melted into his skin

it definitely doesn't need to be THAT hot to ignite any herb.

^^ I make glass bongs and some pipes and jewlery, but it would be kinda hard to get the honey look in glass with out a O2 torch, map gas mabey

check your youtube, I had some custom questions and wanted to know if you were down to do this piece I envision.
