Need HELP with Vaporizer!!

Discussion in 'Medical Cannabis: Treatments & Patient Experiences' started by tz4ever1954, Oct 31, 2006.

  1. I recently purchased an Eagle Bill Shake and Vape! However, not much seems to be happening!

    What am I doing wrong????

    Perplexed in PA.
     
  2. you are using a cheap ass vap... thats a start :)
     
  3. if you want a decent vap, but dont want to spend too much, get the Vapir ONE 3.0, people always bitch about it being leaky and not working right, but thats because its user error, they work great.

    i got mine on ebay for like $120usd shipped.
     
  4. get a glass vaporizer its just like a pipe with no bowl you just drop ground up cannabis in the hole and heat it like a meth pipe. if you local glass shop doesnt have em ask em to make you one their like $7 usually. they work good I promise, a little less lighter economical though
     
  5. if you dont wanna spend a lot of money and have some experience with do it yourself projects you can make a vap for about 20 bucks or less using a soldering iron, plastic bottle, soda can, and a thimble. it works excellently and gives a very good high, ive never used a commercial vap so i cant tell you how much better they are, but the homemade one i have works pretty damn good. if you wanna go this route drop me a PM and ill give you detailed instructions on how to built one
     
  6. 3 choices

    most expensive - buy a ceramic cored varible temp heatgun + vaporizer bowl for bong at headshop

    that'll run you as much as 30 for the bowl and anything from 50-220 for a good heatgun

    very good hits...check out vriptech for how it works and the manuals listing of heatguns

    next up requires more diy work...cheaper

    ceramic soldering iron element for 15 off the net or a cheap radio shack metal one and a rheostat for under 5

    use test tubes or glass cigar ones to make the glass condom/whip like a vaporbro with a propane torch or fit together metal parts to mirror it's design

    the rheo works your temp ..simple

    cheapest option is to use that bill pipe with candles/heat cans (for food service) or a propane torch

    to do so simply grind your herb to a fine powder toss it in heat it till it vaps then remove from heat shake and hit as it vaps
     
  7. Best cheap Vaporizer ever is a heat gun, such as used for putting tints on windows. Fits perfectly over a large bong bowl. It's like using a lighter, but better.

    With no water in the bong, you put the gun right over the bowl and pull up as you inhale. Just watch that it doesn't start smoking/blackening. After a few days, you can do it perfect everytime.
     
  8. You don't want it to blacken

    you want the water level just below the downstem (no bubblin' more of a woooshhhhh when the air hits the surface)

    start off at around 340 and step it up till you get vapor that smells/tastes just like the bud does thats the sweet spot
     
  9. Right. No blackening/burning, like I said. But why the layer of water? Just for a little cooling?

    I might try that.
     
  10. check out volcanovaporizer.com - I've got one of these - awesome!
     
  11. i use to make mine before i finally bought a 170$ vapor box, all you need is a lightbulb, salt, a screw driver, scissors, and some needlenose plyers and whatever else u see in the vid.
