Default How To build a vaporizer

Ok so I wanted to buy me a vaporizer but shit they are over $100 bucks so I search around the internet and found some info, here is the steps I took to build it, I love it, it probbly does not work AS good but it does the trick for a college student :

This is what you will need:
  • 1 Light bulb, try to get the 100w one, the 100w ones seem to be able to resist more heat then the ones that have less watts., Make sure the bulb is clear.
  • Regular old scissors
  • 1 sharp knife (I have the ginsue knife)
  • Some tape, the amount depends on how many times you mess up
  • Rubber gloves incase you break the glass handling it
  • Glass straws or tubes, I used plastic straws because I was to lazy to find anything else.
  • Grab a cap from a 500ml or 1/2 litre bottle

Ok, Now the way to put this shit together:
Lets start by cutting the bulb on the lower half, just like the picture below:


Some of those edges are a little rough so sand them down to make them nice and smooth. You can use the knife to do this :


Now take a set of pliers and rip out the wire which makes the lightbulb glow, careful here I broke my first bulb



Looking to look like something now, take your bottle cap I told you to steal from the bottle depot and try to fit it over the end of the light bulb, if it is to small then go down to the bottle depot again and grab a little bit bigger of a cap. If it is to big that is fine, we will customize it. Take your knife and put two holes in a cap like you were making a bong. Just like so:


Now it time to size up the straws, if you are using glass tubes take a wrench and break them up to the right size that you are going to need. I didnt measure this part so wing it. If you are using glass tubes grab some fine grit sandpaper and sand down the edges so you dont cut yourself when you wasted.

Now if you cap fits perfect thats wicked, however if its to big like mine was I added some padding to the bulb to make it fit nice and snug, You could also tape the cap to the bulb but its a pain in the ass to refill the vaporizer.


Wash everything out just to make sure glass and everything doesnt get into your mouth, that would suck. You all finished to use this vaporizer put your dope inside the bottle put the lid on and light the bottom of the bulb. I made the mistake of waiting till it smoked and it stained my first vaporizer


I wrote this for our resident smoker I hope you enjoyed it... I am off to go find some glass tubes.

I made this one before.... It don't work worth a shit. .... This used to be on the now defunct Overgrow.

But if you don't mind your weed tasting like burned popcorn, go ahead and try it.

instead of just sticking the cap on, cut off the top of the bottle and tape it on so you can screw and unscrew the cap, i made one and it worked great, i was afraid the light was gonna blow up though

How would something like this hold up against 2300F heat?

You can even use a white light bulb just pour salt in and shake.... How do I know this? Because my old roommate made a meth pipe that looked just like that I came home and tha bastard was shakeing salt in a light bulb. Needless to say he packed his shit a couple days later.

The popcorn taste you are complaining about is because you are getting the weed too hot. I used a digital hotplate, but the surface area wasn't getting enough circulation. Maybe you could use a large metal screen. Put the screen inside the light bulb so your weed isn't directly touching the glass, and wind from the tube can circulate around it better. I prefer a joint, but would love to find an inexpensive efficient vaporizer. Any suggestions?
