here's a somewhat more refined version of the old soldering iron vapouriser.

I built this one in Jan, 2000.



Calibrated the dial with an electronic thermometer.



Here's the airflow diagram. Pardon the shonky art, that was 7 years ago and I'm a bit better at photoshop now!



This vapouriser is the same as the one you linked, but things are mounted a bit more solidly and temp can be controlled.

Built on a cast aluminum project box. A soldering iron element is bolted to the top of the box through a steel pickle jar lid with common hardware. An incandescent light dimmer is used to vary the temp of the element. The cone/bowl is a stainless steel thimble with a hole drilled in it, bolted to the end of the iron element. The 'dome' is a pickle jar. A length of 10mm dia tubing is used to draw the vapour. Rubber feet are needed as air intake holes are on the bottom of the box.

wow ur soo fucking smart that looks fucking awsome i would have never thought of that very nice

Nice vaporizer. Any chance you could clue us in to the construction in more detail?
