Thumbs up for lightbulb vapes!

thats a good heads-up...didnt even think about it. it makes a lot of sense though. i wonder if there's a way to tell, maybe on the packaging or something?

No idea... I made mine from a bulb I found in the kitchen over the stove... Not sure if the packaging would have that kind of info or not. I'm thinking about seeing if I can buy some bulbs online though... Maybe there is an online supplier that sells lead free bulbs.


Again, for those who missed the first page:

When smoking from a homemade vaporizer be real sure the glass is lead free. Most glass HAS lead in it cause it is cheaper. Usually the only glass that is lead free is the more expensive glass used for cups and other items people are expected to drink out of.

someuser Reviewed by someuser on 10-22-2006. Thumbs up for lightbulb vapes! I would just like to vouch for the quality of home made lightbulb vapourizers. I made one out of a 40w bulb, and a 100w bulb, they both work great. When i inhale, my throat no longer bitches at me. When I exhale, I see nothing but the cold air, and I smell nothing but a hint of burning. The high is less stupifying than if smoked, yet just as pleasurable, if not more. It is easier to get out of bed the next morning than if I smoked it. I don't believe i am inhaling any harmful Rating: 5

ok, i can't find anything about lightbulbs having lead in the glass. The only lead is in the contacts, which we don't smoke. Wouldn't lead be more expensive than glass? Isn't that why crystal (lead glass) costs more than regular glass?

Yo man, I wish I could give you an intelligent answer... But I'm completely fucked up atm.

All I can say is I know two people that use to blow glass for a hobby. Both told me they had to buy special glass when blowing something that was going to be drunk out of or smoked from. One of those people, my little brother, gave the whole explanation... Sadly I cant seem to remember any of it.

If the only lead is in the contacts then you should be safe bro. :stoned:
