make an electric vaporizer

i saw this on another forum and thought i would bring it here im sure there are some on here but this is my version!

here are my pics of the homemade vape it was easy to make i just need a dimmer switch to set the temp and a tube to suck on but here it is !

insulated cup

soldiering iron

glass

rocks

total cost 0.00 usd i had all this stuff

feel free to post your homemade vape pics!

Nice work. I am currently waiting on my silver surfer to arive in the big brown truck. I hate big brown by the way. Atleast fedex gives you an approx del time. Not the vague "by the end of business" time that brown gives.

Now that I'm done ranting, can you give a rundown on the process you used to build you vape? Looks like something I may build for shits and giggles. Oh and you can get the hose from lowes. I love lowes. Man I need to get high.
Peace and + rep.

I know I like my SSV which I just got about a week ago. Only trouble is that it gives you the SUPER MUNCHIES. I've eaten myself into a coma twice so far this week........
Now I gotta get me some custom parts for my SSV..............

the build was easy . take apart the soldiering iron cut the cord about six inches from the bottom run cord through hole in bottom of cup re connect with wire nuts. center the iron in the cup and surround with rocks . for a bowl i used a long screw a nut and a stainless neasuring cup. drill another hole near the top for your suck tube, fill er up put the glass on top and plug her in! i will add a dimmer for variable temp . i need to know the temp that is ideal for vaping do i can set the dimmer??

from what i read thc vapes at about 300-400C.

i know alot of vapes have a temp readout right on them i was wondering what temp people set their vapes to in farenheit ??

Hey thats pretty cool bud, i see you like to diy shit yourself too!

Looks pretty good tho ima + rep ya back

Ohh must of reped you recently as it wont let me

Awesome like to see pics once you get it completely finished, wouldnt mind tryin to make one myself.

I don't go over 300F with my vap. I start with 200F and gradually raise the temp to 300F. Over that, there's a risk of burning the green.

...guess for the home made one you could just get one those infared temp gauges you just point and shoot to check it, and adjust the dimmer switch from there. Hrm.. I may go make one these today now that i think of it lol.

i added a twisty simpsons straw! and i fired it up works really well i only used a pinch of herb and it smoked for like 3 mins! a few more pics to show the inside/tube!

i have a mini infrared temp gun but i dont have the dimmer yet so it will prob burn the green but if you keep an eye on it you can get the vape before the smoke!

Looks cool man, how does it work, the metal dish gets real hot n burns the weed which fills the glass up?

sort of but you dont want to "burn" the weed, you want it to get to the ideal temperature that is creates vapors and not smoke.

when you vaporize you extract all the thc without actually burning the weed . it makes a much cleaner high with way less tar and harmful smoke! i really need the dimmer this does heat up enough to burn the weed so its just an electric lighter until i can turn it down. i need to keep it at around 275 f to release the vapor without burning any green. right now its around 475 f and that just burns the weed , but by unplugging right befor 300 it stays vapor! pain in the but untill i get a dimmr

i read somewhere that thc vapes at 200c. also you'll need a pretty heavy duty dimmer for that thing. how many watts does that soldering iron pull?
