Heat Wands, heat rods

[dagshet]

For all you out there I was just shown recently of heatwands. for everyone else thaat hasnt seen them, they are awesome. instead of sucking down lighter fluid you can light up all natural. A more reasonable way to smoke like with a magnifying glass.

Anyways the problem most people have is getting the wand or rod hot enough. The best way I found is using a commercial blow torch from a hardware store, I got mine for 25$ USD and the refill cans are 2$, I've had it for 3 weeks already and havent changed cans yet. Also i use it everyday atleast twice a day.

i like this method a lot because you are not adding anything to your smoke just pure green essence. i dont cough as much and when i do its not as bad or severe as when i was using lighters.

hope you guys/gals enjoy

1. glass wand/rod
2. torch
3. nice and hot

yeah dude, I just got one that was blown here locally and I light mine up with a torch lighter.

Has the tip turned color on you? I think I melted some ash into the glass.

Also, do you have any idea as to how long a typical glass wand should last?

But I wholeheartedly agree that it's a fantastic smoking method. I can really taste the difference with a fresh bowl. I have a hard time getting mine hot enough so I have what I called the Stoner-three-handed-glass-wand-bong-rip fu where I basically wedge the bong between my leg and my chin while I heat up the wand, put down the lighter, grab the bong and shove it into my ash catcher's bowl.

What color are you letting yours turn when it's hot? Orange/Yellow/Super yellow and what color is it when you stick it in your bowl?

looks like a crack pipe

no the thing is solid.

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)

i get that tip a glowing orange.

yes absolutely correct. sorry i was stoned writing this last night.

also as for wands get 'em at your local headshop but if your looking for something cheap and easy go to Wal-Mart, Wallyworld, whatever the hell you can and get some glass stirrers for drinks. They have a ball tip thats small enough to heat up fast than a regular wand/rod. Perfect for snappers or if you want to micro manage your bowl when smoking.

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.

kudos for being self-aware!!! yes in my short time people who have used my torch and wand are dangerous with it. this is something that must be exercised with caution. ive been burnt with the torch(nothing serious, 'cept some hairs gone) because of other peoples neglectfulness. On the other hand I have some really responsible friends who light the rod for you as you hold your bong or apparatus and simplify the equation!

Thanks, dagshet. That's what it seemed like it should be, but I wasn't sure. I really want to try this method sometime soon. I, too, don't really like the thought of inhaling butane or lighter fluid.

[jimmy8778]

yeah, and i know that eventually i would get tired of heating the wand, and just end up using the torch to light the bowls so it would just completely vaporize all the good things in said bowl.
