TEK Great $10 vaporizer design!

[coopdog]

I made my own vaporizer very cheaply and easily! It
works very well too!



Go to radioshack, they have a replacement heating element for their high end soldering
irons:













The replacement element is threaded at the top. I got a
brass 1/2" pipe cap (Homedepot) drilled a hole in the bottom to the same
size as the threaded top of the heating coil and then put a small nut inside to
hold it securely. You can pack about 2 pipe bowls worth of weed into it.




Then I soldered a lamp cord to the heating coil and routed
the wire through a rheostat. I then experimented with weed and a high
temp thermometer and got it to stay at 180-200C.





I then used a mason jar to enclose the vaporizer. I
drilled a hole in the jar lid, snapped the heating element in place (it has
well placed clips on the base). Then I drilled another hole in the lid
and attached clear flexible water tubing with a connecter.




I have also used Gatorade and water bottles when I was in a
pinch. </span>All you need is to make the parts
and you can fit them to any plastic bottle using a knife in about 5 minutes.



It is really easy to use. All you have to do is unscrew the lid, pack the weed
in to the bowl, screw on the lid and wait for about 5-10 minutes for the
element to heat up and it creates TONS of vapor! <st1:State><st1lace>Ill</st1lace></st1:State>
try and get some pics of it up soon.





I was surprised at how good the results were for under $10
in parts! </span>I also fitted a valve to the
hose coming off the vaporizer so you can leave it running for 10 min and it
will have vaporized the whole bowl. </span>It
gets you very stoned!





Also remember to take a blowtorch to the pipe
cap and nut and any part that is heated up by the element. </span>This way you can be sure that now harmful
oils or coatings that are on the fittings are being vaporized along with your
weed. </span></span>





Enjoy!
