How long does it take for it to heat up and realease the vapor? Do you get more abng for your buck? If I am trying to do this without being caughtby my parents, is it easier?
i've made and used several lightbulb vapes in my time so here are the answers to your questions: 1. i find it only takes about 15secs if the flame is touching the glass below the weed. once you see a fine mist shake the bulb a bit. it really helps to get it going 2. the actual intensity of the high doesn't change much. however, the vape is more efficient at extracting the THC from the herb than say a joint or bong. therefore, if you smoke (for example) 5 grams of pure THC through a vape you would get just as high as if you did it through a bong. HOWEVER, if you smoke 5 grams of weed (NOT pure THC) through both a vape and a bong the vape would output the full 5 grams worth of THC where the bong would only output 3 or 4 grams worth*. So in theory, yes the use of a vape is cost effective. 3. Well for starters, a lightbulb is far less suspicious than a bong or pipe (or even rolling papers if they don't know you smoke tobacco as well). Its also quieter and quicker to use than most other methods. I find that the smell it emits is a lot different to if you had just burnt the weed in a pipe which might make post-smoking detection harder. That's not to say there is no smell at all! cheers J *these are only EXAMPLES
Hmmm at 38 you are trying to hide your marijuana consumption from your parents. Also there is a little thing that most people don't know about called the search bar. Just look around on the page for a second because it is pretty obvious where it is.
no if your parents find a burnt lightbulb pipe they will think you were smoking meth, seriously. also if you hold the flame on the bulb the glass will like char and eventually shatter in your face while your hitting it. they also smell and taste like shit. thats only from my experience with them though, some people say they work good. and vapor smells like bud, but not like smoke.
I use vapes when Im at home and its to cold to go outside. They kinda smell but I doubt your parents would know.
i couldn't find the thread about how to make it. but this is just as good. http://www.waytoomany.com/vids/weed/homemadevap.php
the glass will only shatter if you put it in water while its still hot (now we all remember doing that with test tubes in chemistry right?)
