I just about set my house on fire.
Ok, I tried the isopropyl extraction technique, to extract resin from an old lightbulb vapourizer. I swashed some rubbing alcohol in the lightbulb for a few minutes, then i put it in a pot on the stove, and then put that pot in another pot of boiling water, and i boiled the water.
I had never seen a 2 foot tall isopropyl flame before, until a few minutes ago.
I burned the stove's exhaust fan, which sent the whole kitchen up in smoke. I ran around aimlessly with a flaming pot of rubbing alcohol. I managed to burn a few towels, luckily they didnt catch on fire. While I was confused as to what the fuck to do (because water spreads fire), i thought it would be a great idea to pour baking soda on the flame. Cause thats what they put on grease fires, right? Well that made the flame start to pop like popcorn. Little bits of spark started flying out on the fake hardwood floor. Luckily, that also was not flammable. Finally I remembered if i put a lid on the pot, the thing would extinguish. But the lids were upstairs, and I was now downstairs, to avoid the smoke alarms! I then found a suitable metal item: a paint can. I put the pot on the ground, the paintcan on top, and the flame went out. Then I ran upstairs to open the door and turn on the exhaust fan (which still works, and only looks burnt if you put your head under it), and open the door. So now its fucking cold, and smells like shit everywhere. But i got the smoke out, and I had the door to the kitchen closed, so it didnt set off the smoke alarm.
And in this whole process, I don't think I woke my parents up.
And this is the 2nd fire I had to put out today.
