Turn Bong Into Oil Rig

  1. So I just bought a new bong and wanted to turn it into an oil rig. And was wondering what pieces I needed exactly cause I heard some people say you need an adapter?

    Here's a pic of the bong. It has a hurricane perc and I also bought a diffuser with a honeycomb perc. The sizes are 18mm and I also have an adapter to fit 14mm in there as well. ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1410484728.694131.jpg

  2. You can get a dome and nail set in that size for $30-50.
     
  3. I don't need an adapter?

  4. yes you'll need an 18M to 18M adapter. dont use the ashcatcher when dabbing either, entirely useless.
     
  5. This or a Domeless quartz nail with a mail joint.

  6. or a dome-less titanium with a male joint.
    And just use the bong, no ash-catcher. Turbine percs are pretty good for oil. Not to much vapor to glass contact, and not overly diffusing. Just enough to cool it down and smooth it up but not so much it loses flavor, and with the small volume in the neck the vapor wont get stale. That will be a nice vapor rig. You could get a dome-less nail, or a dome and nail setup with an adapter for the same price. I'd go dome-less for convenience. Dome and nail tastes better though. Don't go cheap on the nail, but find everything else as cheap as possible, i hate that head shop markup. A white dome would look classy.
     
  7. wow thats the first knock off flux nail I've seen. Dont buy that, if you go with Ti buy a quality nail not some cheap shit.

    I'm new to this besides smoking out of gpens. I'm just not sure on what I exactly need. I don't want to walk in to a shop and be lost and they just try to sell me the most expensive items they have.

    not entirely true, it will be easier to reclaim with an ashcatcher because most will build up in there. if you use it for both bud and oil totally worthless though.
     
  10. what do you mean by "reclaim"?

  11. wont make collecting reclaim any easier, just gonna take away a lot of flavor. only useful for flowers where it actually will keep your bong clean
     
  12.  
    not really easier, just less to iso. unless you have a highly intricate tube theres no reason to, but it wont hurt it any ime. flavor difference is negligible to me but noticeable.
     
  13. So a dome less nail would be better?

  14. It's not a matter of it being better. It's a matter of preference.

    Domless or domed nail they both need to be carbed inorder to get some great tasting errl.

    I suggested a Domless quartz with a male joint because it's gonna be the cheapest way to get you started.

    Reclaim is condensated bho that forms slowly inside your rig

  15. Okay so in total I need an adapter? And the domeless nail and obviously a torch and I'll be good?

  16. No you shouldn't need an adaptor, just make sure it's a Domeless nail with a MALE joint like the bowl you currently are using.

    You will need an adapter if you want a dommed nail.

    To reiterate, your cheapest and simplest option would be to get something that will already fit you bong.

    On another note, like jimmy said, don't use the ash catcher. The further vapor has to travel and the more obstacles(percs) in it's way, the more the flavor is reduced.

    For best results, use a small rig with minimal diffusion.

  17. okay thank you for the help! I just went to a local shop to see what they had and they had titanium nails and quartz, titanium would last longer right?

  18. Take pics of the titanium nail, chances are most of them are cheap china titanium. But quartz for the most part is quartz.
     
  19. The more percolation the more oil loss and flavor loss. This isn't a theory it is fact. The only way I can see someone preferring an ash catcher on an already large bong for oil would be if you are smoking doo doo oil
