Make your own vaporizer!

I know there are quite a lot of really expensive vaporizers available, but there are cheaper ways, might not work as good as the 200$ ones, but it does work good, and the price is almost nothing since most of the things you need are already somewhere in your house.



In words:
-a normal lightbulb (100 watts if possible, because the glass is more heat resistant than 40 watters, for example. The buld should be a clear one, otherwise you have to put some fine sand inside after step two and shake the hell out of it, that should get the white stuff out.
-a knife
-scissors
-tape
-2 straws or glasstubes_ (glasstubes are better since they can't melt)
-a cap of a 0.5 liter bottle (for ppl. in the US: 16 fl. ounces bottle should the the one)



First of all, we start off with preparing the buld by cutting off the lower part like this:

**NOTE!!! Again, I do not take any credit for any of this!!!!**

You might want to sand off those nasty metal edges since they are really sharp.

The first part is done, it should look like this (2nd pic)

Now, in step 2, we need to get the wire and all that out. (3rd pic)

Take a knife or something else to break it out gently, you don't want to break the bulb, only the inside, like this (4th pic)

Now, after having removed the inside, there are still pieces of glass left. (1st pic)


Remove them either with a small wrench or break them out with something else. (2nd pic)

Done....almost at least the hard part is...(3rd pic)

In step three, unscrew the cap of the bottle, and try to fit it on the metal part of the bulb, if it doesn't fit because it's too small, get another cap, it's ok if its too big.
Now take a knive and make two holes into the cap, like this: (4th pic)

way to go dude, the old lightbulb vaporizer thread, gotta love it. many people use these and dig them.

Sorry for not finishing guys...med work!
Anywho...

If it looks like this, go on to the next step (1st pic)

Now we have to make the straws the right size, take the scissors. If you are using glasstubes, take a wrench to break them at the right poing, and take fine sand paper to make the edges smooth.
Now put everything together (2nd pic)

If the cap is a bit too big, just take the tape and fix it. Even though its easy to do this, every time you want to fill or empty it you have to tape it again. So try to get a cap that fits. There is another way you can tape it, like this, that's easier. (3rd pic)

Before you use it for the first time take cold water and wrinse it out, glass and dust might be left inside, and you don't want that in your lungs....

DONE!

To use it, unscrew the cap, put whatever you want to smoke inside (careful, you don't need as much as you need in a normal joint), take a lighter or candle and heat it, inhale, and when you taste something, its working. Don't wait until it smokes, because that will leave stains. In the best case, you will take out the weed, for example, looking just like you put it in, but smelling like hay after you are done. Happy inhaling, your lungs will thank you!

Here is a version with one glasstube instead of a straw, and how it actually looks when being used. (4th pic and 5th pic on next post)

Hey there, nice thread... out of curiosity, what exactly is the second smaller tube/straw for? It looks like it's unused in the picture of the person vaping... or is it the "carb"? Sorry for the confusion, and thank you.

I pretty sure it's mainly for ventilation....but I guess it could be used for a carb....i dunno
