EASY DIY Vaporizer

Want to try something VERY different today?

Find a large light bulb. Any bulb will do.






Now get a hack saw, a saw with a metal cutting blade, and cut the end of the bulb off, leaving the threads. Go slow, use long slow strokes, and it will cut easily.



You have to hold the bulb firmly, but do not hold it so tightly that you break it. Just saw the 1/6 to 1/4 inch end off.
You will find inside, a ceramic part, and the element that makes the light. Take a screw driver or needle nosed pliers and empty out the bulb. Squeeze the ceramic part with pliers to break it, adn it will then fall out.Just ream it out. Remove the ceramic and the element. You do leave the metal threads on the outside end.
If you had a FROSTED Bulb, then fill it with two tablespoons of salt, and shake it and shake it, and the salt will remove the frosting.




Now get a bottle cap from a bottle of water, and drill two small holes, 1/4 in diameter, in the bottle cap.



Yea, that is my fat beer belly.



That bottle cap will screw on the end of the bulb perfectly.

Now get about two or three feet lenght of 1/4 inch tube, like you use on your airstones and feeder tubes.
Stick 1/2 inch of the tube in the bottle cap, and glue it or use a pin to fasten it to stay. The other hole is your SHOTGUN hole.




Figure out a way to rest the bottle over a flame, over a candle, or over a hot stove eye. You want to HEAT the bottle, but not burn yourself.
DO NOT TOUCH THE BOTTLE.



DO NOT TOUCH THE BOTTLE.




DO NOT TOUCH THE BOTTLE.



You load a small 1/4 inch ball of pot, the size of an english pea into the bottle, screw the cap on, and rest the bottle over a flame. Within a minute or two, the bottle will fill up with VAPOR, NOT Smoke, but a VAPOR, or like steam. Hit it. Two hits will blow you away, you get more THC and less canabanol. For two mintues, you will think "I didn't get any" but after a few mintues, your head will spin.





Let me know how it went for you or if you have any questions.

Wow, that is pretty cool! Never thought about a vaporizer that way, but looking at your design simplifies it a lot for my brain.

Very Simple and Easy!

Awesome tutorial I think I'm going to make one at work today

Come back and give us an idea on how to HEAT it. I was just lucky to have that candle holder.
The HIGH is incredible with much less pot used.

although vaporizing is 95% healthier than smoking. using a light bulb, which usually contains mercury vapor (in order to produce light), and a candle, is VERY inaccurate. which will have u smoking your weed half the time. If your actually serious about vaporizing for health reasons, the SILVER SURFER VAPORIZER, is the way to go. it is the only vape on the market with the heating element separate from everything else. although some people say digital thermostats are better. think about what kind of materials would have to be used rigth next to the element in order for it to be able to put out a reading. PLASTIC!. and all those thermostsats are made in fuckin china. PLEASE do research before buying one, its the best thing you can do for your self.

Kool idea I might have a shot at it tomorow, as for heating it you could use a normal lighter and hold onto the cap? As it's plastic won't absorb too much heat? You could even wrap it with som
Duct tape for more protection? Just an idea, I will have a go once ihavemade it

nice guide +rep. but i'm going to stick with the bingbong

It was a nice thing to do on a day off from work.
YES, it is primative, but it is unique, and it sure saves on the amount of pot you use to get high.

Are you sure smoking out of a light bulb is healthy? I'm curious...

It was not a CFL or florescent bulb, I did rinse it out with SALT and with water both.

I've smoked out of it for many months, maybe 50 times in 2 years, and all I get is sort of like STEAM, not smoke.
I guess you could use a bottle instead.

I'm sure it's not healthy, hell smoking pot isn't healthy for you.....but other than feeling like a crackhead using it, it's no more harmfull than a pipe. Everyonedoesit has a video tutorial using salt/sand to get all the white out of the bulb<---the white is whats bad for you. smokeweedeveryday!
