vaporizer using lab glassware?

[oldhag]

I read about bulb vaporizer. I also read that it can be dangerous because it can break. I was wondering how about making a vaporizer using a flask of some sort. I've never handled the chemistry equipment but isn't the lab glassware heat resistant?

Yes, it's made of borosilicate glass (Pyrex), and is very heat resistant and strong. It's also much thicker than lightbulb glass, so it will take more time to heat it up. You wouldn't have the same control over the heating of the bud inside as you do with the thinner bulbs. It might work, but probably not as well.
