ok, well Ive made homemade vaporizers b4 and Ive used a commercially built one a few times....The vaporizers heat the marijuana up only till it hits the vaporization point of thc...therefor the only thing that you inhale is vaporized thc and since there's no leaf being burned theres barely any smell, other than the mild pine tree scent from the vaporized thc....A few problems with vapos are the fact that they take you away from your traditional bowl lighting ceremonies..and I know that alot of people are willing to risk their lungs to be able to enjoy the ceremony of lighting that bong or bowl.

I hate to post ways to work around buying from a store on that stores very own forum, but basically you can make a cheap vaporizer (20 bucks tops) with a soldering iron and some creativity...just fashion a home made bowl to the tip of the iron and heat up the bud until a white mist starts to ploom out of the bowl..once this happens you need to unplug the iron so it doesnt get any hotter and burns the leaf....If possible use a 2litre soda bottle to fashion a surrounding "mist catcher" which has some sort of opening to suck from....the mist is so thin and light that you can take massive hits without knowing it...just imagine icebong hits times 10....

Eome, I think you PMed me a while back asking how to make one, but I forgot about my PMs and only read your message about a week ago, so if you still wanted me to, I could try and email you a detailed description of how I made mine.

Basically the homemade ones worked just as well if not better than the commercially made one that I tried....but it all comes down to preferences of how you like to smoke, and if you're willing to pay the amount of money that some of these products are offered for.

My opinion of vaporizers is that until they become a little more sophisticated and user friendly, aswell as decrease in cost, then im just fine with either experimenting with my homemade soldering iron vapo, or smoking the traditional way and using a toilet roll with some fabric sheets crammed into it.....but everybody reacts differently to vapos, so dont take my word for it solely...
