Getting gunned on ganja then making stoner utensils is a natural talent for some potheads. They can assemble several different pieces of random household items to create a killer smoking device.
Not The M-Files.

Getting stoned and making stuff is not our scene. Even creating a [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl6QjFQrqkw"]fruit pipe[/ame] with a Granny Smith apple and a purchased fruit kit is a cannabis challenge. Thankfully with our impressive reefer Rolodex there’s always someone around who has attempted a pothead project with success.
Except for a few smugglers and three honey oil friends.
These are professional potheads, who made honey oil all the time, but ‘blew up in the lab’ one day when the temperature went a little too hot. Resulting in serious burns, home fires and in one friend’s case hospitalization. Prohibition ensures that some hastily created household marijuana extraction devices do actually kill.
So be extremely careful with what you use to create or extract your toke. Some items when heated release potent toxins.

The dangers of homemade vaporizers include, but are not limited too.

All three (especially the third point) should be reason not to try. Weed vaporizers are affordable for any budget. There’s little need to make one. Many homemade vaporizers are futile at even the basics of cannabis extracting. Simply burning your bud. Which is not what we’re looking for.
However, the M-Files first weed vaporizer experience did come from a homemade job. We understand the allure.
Our friend Nick Nuggets followed the instructions he found on a local bulletin board system (BBS). He built a vaporizer using a soldering iron, pickle jar, rubber tubing and tinfoil. The soldering iron never extracted at a precise temperature of 400F.
Keeping the unit upright and temperature consistent to get a good hit became such a chore that the novelty wore off in a few hours. Nuggets, like many marijuana McGyvers, got more of a kick out of making the device than actually using it.
Temperature is key to successful vaporization.
The M-Files’s personal preference for sativa marijuana strains is 396F and 409F for indica marijuana types. For show we’ll kick it to 420F to create a hardy smoky weed vapor. Plenty of folks want a, ‘If you don’t cough. You don’t get off.’ hit that only comes from 420F.
The Stove Top Vaporization Technique appears to control temperature well and the method sounds like plenty of fun. It’s akin to doing hot knives on a stove.
Required equipment.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1)<!--[endif]-->Glass stove top or hot plate
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2)<!--[endif]-->Cooking Thermometer (Not sicky one you put under your tongue)
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3)<!--[endif]-->Sheet of tinfoil
<!--[if !supportLists]-->4)<!--[endif]-->Sawed off bottom of a pop bottle
<!--[if !supportLists]-->5)<!--[endif]-->Marijuana
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->
Cut the bottom off a plastic soda bottle. Tear a sheet of tinfoil larger than a stove burner. Warm the stove burner to 400F or thereabouts. Use thermometer to measure temperature by placing it on the burner.
Grind your cannabis!
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->
Put ground cannabis on your tinfoil sheet. Place sawed off pop bottle on top of the ground grass with bottle cap on. When temperature reaches 400F on stove top burner, slide (on glass stove tops this is very easy to perform) the tinfoil complete with toke and soda bottle onto the burner.
When you begin to see vapor, uncap the soda bottle and inhale. Repeat as needed. Remain mindful at all times of the temperature reaching above 420F, the upper range of tolerable vaporization.
Our lighter burns cannabis at proximately 800 – 1000F so be very mindful that your cannabis may catch fire if you leave it on the stove burner too long. And the plastic pop bottle is also a danger of melting. Don’t forget to turn off the stove when you’re high.
The Light Bulb homemade vaporizer shown in Master Bong's instructional video is much more complex than the Stove Top Method. But it’s an amazing Master Bong video, but involves a nasty vaporization method. Given the possibility of inhaling small particles of glass or worst some sort of light bulb poison.
Seventy searches involving the keyword homemade vaporizer are made daily.
Remember do not try this at home.
