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?
i get that tip a glowing orange.

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)
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.

dagshet Reviewed by dagshet on . Heat Wands, heat rods 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 Rating: 5
