Anyone who doesnt have one, should make one. If you get it done right, with a little practice, a lightbulb vaporizer works just as well, if not better, than top of the line vaporizers. Once you master the distance between the lighter and the bulb, you can completely control the size of your hits, and it is much more efficient than smoking weed(it takes less to get high) and on top of this... it is better for you than smoking. Things you need to do for it to work right. -Finely powder the weed you put in it. You want the consistency of shake, scissors, or a coffee grinder work well. -clog the holes while you collect the vapors, collect alot, and shake the material around a few times, then take a huge ass rip. -Hold it good and long, what you just took in was a bunch of thc vapors, much more potent than regular smoke, so make sure you make it count, and hold it in for several seconds, and inhale it all. -make sure it is a 100w bulb, its best to get the clear ones(otherwise you need to wash it realy good.) http://www.overgrow.com/growfaq/1376 Construction Tips -Use electrical tape -use a bic pen for the mouthpiece(straws melt to easily) -make sure you cut the bulb at the spot the diagrams in the link show, otherwise you will crack the bulb. my lightbulb is my favorit thing to smoke out of for the last couple months. Resin hits are awesome with it, when you can just heat the thing up, and get a few hits of vapor out of it. And it doesnt smell nearly as strongly as regular smoking, so its even easier to smoke in your bedroom.
not necessarily. i think a lightbulb is more versatile than that. I made one recently, i'd do it just to experience a new type of high
I will not be involved with anything other than weed, and let me tell you, it works wonders. I barely even drink, never once touched any hard drug and never will... The only thing I have against the lightbulb is the slightly dangerous part of having something that hot, and you eithor need to use a candle, or hold a lighter for 15 secnods(which does go through alot mroe fuel than regular smoking)
On a side note... I would not recommend using a jet-flame lighter on the lightbulb(my recent experiment resulted in the shattering of a light bulb, and a few cuts.)
Better off getting those meth pipes or whatever the fuck they are at your headshop. Those little glass balls with a stem coming out, and a hole on the top of the ball to allow air come in. Thicker than a bulb, and probably will stand up to heat much longer, as the heat from a lighter is hotter than a normal lightbulb will get.
Do you let the hits build up to big... if so don't, Once the vapors start to come off, give it 5 mroe seconds, shake it once, and whiles keeping the lighter held, and the heat on the same spot, take a slow big hit. The trick is to slowly inhale the vapors as they form. if you do it right it wun feel a thing at all, other than a lil aftertaste.
adoutsider, what have been your experiences with the high that you obtain using this method? is it like a head trip, where you feel less overwhelmed than smoking? or like what have been your personal effects?
The high is definetly different, actualy if you read in the stoned now forum, i just put 3 dank grams to break in my new lightbulb, and im totaly head tripping right now. In my experience the high from a vaporizer I seem to enjoy doing things more. Going outside, building things, researching things, reading things, fishing, hiking, hell even working seem enjoyable. If i smoke a bowl, I want to melt into a chair and do nothing, if I smoke from a vap I just start doing stuff, and gettin shit done. I also like to meditate alot, and I find i am less able to relax and meditate from smoke, than vapor. 2 friends seem to have tendancies similar to my own, but one of my friends feels realy tired from vaporizing.
Also to mention/clarify, vaporizing does in fact give off some odor, just not as strong/intense of odor, and vapor smell tends to stay in the room you vaped in, and not to spread that bad.(But it is not smell-proof) Furthor more, the vapors have less of a tendancy to stay on teh person. I smoke occasionaly in the morning befor school, sometimes after brushing my teeth, and my girlfriend, who has smoked, and usualy gives me a kiss, doesn't notice unless I tell her.
yes, it is definitely different, but i have no favorite. maybe prefer smoking, i just love that overwhelmed, engulfed feeling... i guess also because i've only vaporized twice... you mention doing other things while headtripping...i'll have to try that. the thing is that it's different, a new experience out of the same weed, so hey, what's not to love?
what i would like to try is eating it, but i'm afraid that if i were to use the oven or microwave or whatever, it would stink up my kitchen, a big no no. i've heard that this is more of a body-trip... definitely want to try that one question, what if you were to vaporize then eat some magic brownies or something, would your trip be like smoking?? (head-trip + body-trip) lol
