It's all homemade out of spare hardware, some lab glassware (filter flask and sample vial), a broken de-soldering nozzle, a CO2 cartridge, and a few corks.
I made it back in june, but just added an ashcatcher the other day.


It disassembles completely, except for the ashcatcher- its the only part that was glued since the metal/glass connection was fragile.

The only metals I used are stainless and copper, and the cork around the bowl is for insulation. The red cork is a synthetic wine cork with about 30 holes. I sharpened the droptube to hollow out the top of the cork. The same was done for the seal cork on top o the flask.

I had used the screen on the right for a while, but the holes are so small that resin clogs them up after a few bowls. the bowl itself is a cut 12gram CO2 bottle and the screens were the rounded ends of the bottles, thinned down and drilled. They wedge down in there without glue, and can be removed to clean/replace.

The tube on the bowl and on the ashcatcher are the same size, so you dont need the ashcatcher attached to use it.

My old diffuser would put the smoke into a foam that would get to the top and dissipate, but it got clogged with ash. the screen helps prevent a lot of that, but some was still passing through, so i cant use a foaming diff unless i use an ashcatcher with it.

All parts were cleaned extensively, and no chemicals were used other than Gojo and the Krazy glue for the glass/metal connection in the ashcatcher (which is harmless once it cures).
