Ever wanted a vaporizer but didnt have hundreds of dollars to spend?

Well, i spent many hours up last night devising a plan that WORKS!! cheap and effective.

Materials needed:

Ceramic pot ("rainy day fund" change jar") w/ cork for top at least 4" diameter

Glass vase with a v shape, smaller at the bottom and larger at the top.

25w Soldering iron

power drill

diagonal cutters

wire strippers

razor blade

screw or nail that will fit in the top of the soldering iron.

electrical tape

metal bowl piece (either from those small "crack-pipe" metal pieces or look around in the plumbing department. *stay away from copper

bic pen

hose that will fit perfectly on the inside of the bic (at least 3-4 feet per hose you want to install. (you can add as many as you like!

Basically, the way it works is: you have a base made out of ceramic, glass, or any other strong material pot with a cork at least 4 inches in diameter. cut out a piece of the center of the cork large enuf to fit soldering iron handle into. cut the cord to the soldering iron 6 inches away from handle, separate and strip.

Drill 1 small hole on the side near the bottom of the bottom piece, large enough to feed the power cord into, and reconnect cord together. solder if you have another iron.

Make a second hole in the cork just big enough to fit a pen casing in it, and have about an inch of it sticking through the bottom. this is so that the hose does not touch the soldering iron by accident and give unwanted vapor! One pen casing per hose desired.

Now, drill as many holes as hoses desired on the same vertical level as the hole for the power cord, but preferably on the other side of the pot. feed the hose through the hole and the pen casing, so that an inch or two is beyond the top of the casing.

Place cork in tightly, and remove the tip from the soldering iron. place bowl piece on the top, and put the screw or nail through the center of it into the soldering iron and tighten down. (some soldering irons have threaded tips...you can buy screws that will fit the threads perfectly at your local hardware store, as well as the hose and bowl piece)

The glass vase should be tall enough to cover the height of the soldering iron, and either sit on the table or be able to conform to the roundness of the pot and stay there. electrical tape will provide a more stable surface for glass to sit on if it is connected to the pot itself.

Plug it in, let it sit for about a half an hour to burn off fumes from the bowl piece. put in ur favorite flavor and put the glass back on. Let it sit for about 2 minutes and let 'er rip...you will not be dissapointed.

Prices will be put up soon. my trip to the hardware store cost me less than $3, for the hose screw and bowlpiece....

Pics will be up soon as well.

V2 soon also, with temperature control

this is certainly not the first 25w soldering iron vape I've seen. maybe some pics and comparisons to other methods making /this/ one good? personally I've seen builds from wood that seem way easier and more effective.

i bought one made out of plexiglass and a fishbowl looking thing..that was how i got the idea...however it is different than the one that i purchased. pics up by tommorow night.

as for ease of build...it really only takes 10 minutes tops to construct if you already know how its done

did you just wire the power cord through the dimmer switch and calibrate from there?

you got it man!

sweet! should be easier than i though...

next step for v2 then should be to actually make my own soldering iron, so i can make it just the shape i want it to be. if i make them good enough id like to mass order the parts and sell them to headshops

also...how consistant is the temperature from time to time with a dimmer switch? will i need to calibrate frequently?

i found good solid temps near the "all the way on" position you will notice high medium and low are all pretty close .. if you have a dimmer on the wall in the house look how far you need to turn it to get bright light that will be around low then a thermo was used from there

ok so i installed a 600w dimmer...works fine i just put it up all the way to use it...but i havnt calibrated it yet...pics soon!

also coming soon: THE MEGA VAPORIZOR!
