make an electric vaporizer

i think its a 30watt iron not to big i may just use some resistors and a heatsink if i can dial in the right temp! but i think any lamp dimmer will work for this they are usually rated at 150 watts i beleive!

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?

Sweet you should have posted it in the DIY section so people can find it easier though.

yeah , nevermind. i thought things with heating elements in them usually pulled alot of wattage but i guess not. you should defiitely get one of the old school rotary dimmers . i feel like they have the best dimming range. way easier to dial in . if you know what i mean.here's a nice one . every dimmer i've ever installed has been atleast 400 w, so i think you'll be alright. nice work btw.

just ran another bowl through the vape this thing rocks!! i cant wait for the dimmer!

toot toot , my own horn!! come on people build a vape!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporizer

When one considers that there are at least 60 pharmacologically-active compounds in cannabis and that the aromatic terpenoids begin to vaporize at 126 °C, but the more bio-active cannabidiol (CBD), Cannabinol (CBN), and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) do not vaporize until near their respective flash points: CBD 206.3 °C[6], CBN 212.7 °C[7], THC 149.3 °C[8]

I Vap with my Vapir One at 375, never burns. If you vap too low, you waste a ton of product.... You need to get to at least 325 for proper vaping, but at 375 you are sure to get all of the active ingredient quickly and effectively!

do you get the temp up to 375f then put your herbs in?? i heat it up first then put the herb in! when i put the heat on after adding the herb it gets way less vapor! i dont even mind burning it a little bit i burn the pot all the time anyway!

375 f is the correct temp right not 375 c >>

i added a dimmer and i bought a digi therm so i could read the temp! my infrared thermo stops at 220 f so this new one goes to 450f!! i have it dialed in at 375f!!!!!! happy vaping and i want to see some more of these things on here they are cheap and great!!! i might mod the thermo so it can be on board but im not sure if it will lose accuracy with the mod??

Looks good man, u know if you go to the file where your pics are saved and click the sideways pics and correct em, when you upload em they will be the right way up

Oh n i will be making one of these real soon

i know i know. mr perfect hahahah jk . i was in a hurry to get these up before i went out !!

M<an I just vaped 0.25 of a gm last night. I was not even there, it was so damed powewful. I love the vap, it is the best for s thrifty toker!
I usually go through an ounce every 2 months, I am on month 4 now and still have a good 1/4 oz left. vapping is the best!

im all vaped up !!!

Lol bud

Check me new cfl set up, in my suparoom journal

i have never tried a vap but would like to make one.i found an old soldiering iron and was wondering if the hits are big enough with the size glass?

The first thing to get used to is the "hits are not big" at first you dont even feel it then you get used to it! You dont get big clouds of smoke,you shouldnt get any smoke. Those kids on youtube with the huge clouds in trashbags are just smoking pot like we do everyday. The vapor keeps coming until the weed is dry and depleted so you can hit for as long as you want the chamber really doesnt matter ! When your done with the weed it should not be burnt . You get it hot enough to release vapors without burning. I didnt even think mine was working but when you hit a bowl load sober you get super lifted!! Anymore ?s let me know. Let that old soldering iron burn for like 30mins before you start and maybe sand it with sand paper to get any soldier off(dont breathe!!!) pm with ?s if you want!
