hey /vape/, i wanted to share a design with you tonight that I built back in 2013 when didn't have a smoking pipe and was on a tight budget.

> I had the idea while I was smoking with a friend and making a PB&J sandwich, the jelly was in a small mason jar like the one in the attached picture. It had a nice lid as well. The next morning I went out to find the magic item, a car lighter. I checked a car repair shop with junk lot behind it, I got access to the lot and checked a few cars finding a couple of them in good condition, clean, not used obviously. no cost since it was junked.

> I took my prize back to the house and cut off a 2 foot plastic pipe from some plumbing stuff once used to make a watering system for the yard.

> In the evening I finished off the jelly and washed out the jar very clean. Then I constructed the smoker machine. see the attached diagram. The method was easy to implement with pocket knife and some duct tape and some spare wire from the DC adapter.

>Cut two holes in the flat lid of the mason jar, one for the module to sit, on for the tube. Thread the wires through the hole for the module. Then attach the wires to it.

> The tricky part is pressing the back of the lighter module down so it sticks out, then you attach a stripped (no plastic) wire to the outside of the coil and then another wire to the metal framing. Since I did this almost two years ago I can't remember the exact design of the module, but I remember I had two of them and one had a slightly different design. The module I ended up using was the one you can see in the attached image with the coil showing. It should make sense if you know anything about electric circuits. The other end of this wire went to a 12v DC adapter.

>Inserted the black tube into the other hole and secured everything in place on the outside using duct tape, being to fold any extra over onto the lid and have none of it even close to the heating module on the inside. Then screw the lid on with the mason jar facing upside down, see the diagram.

>Then plug in the AC to an simple extension cord to test the device, If you did everything correctly after 10-20 seconds the heating coil will start to glow. Be careful not to touch it when it's hot. Since the circuit worked I unplugged it, let it cool for a minute then push some loose tobacco in the bowl of the module (see 2nd pic), be sure it's touching the coil. Since the lid is upside down from how it would be used on a jar it's not a problem.

>Plug in again and watch the magic happen. The element will heat up and the glass chamber will fill up with smoke, let it run for 30 secs or a minute, be sure to cover the end of the black tube with you finger so smoke won't escape. When you are content with the amount of smoke unplug/switch off the machine. The smoke may start to look yellow if you let it run a long time, this normal, like a water piper it will fill up the space and become very dense if left to burn.

>You can now enjoy ur smoke, take ur finger off the tube after you have turned the machine off and inhale. You will get lungs full of smoke ;^)

I have tested this machine with tobacco and herb, I used it for 3-5 months indoors burning both without any issues. Smoke was always smooth and easy on the mouth, lungs and had a gentle smell even when using tobacco since there was never any open flame. I never got around to adding a DC switch or voltage adjuster since I was content the simple design and lazy.

If a potentiometer was added the coil could be tuned to have less energy so it would come a vape and not a smoker, but I have not tried this. Sadly I had to fly away to another city so I could not stay with my friend and smoke with the device, I didn't take it on the plane for obvious reasons.

If you want to make your own here's the item list;

> car lighter with heating element, can be found at junk shops/lots without much work or cost.

> new it's about 2 shrekels; amazon.com/gp/product/B00DMS648E

pic related

> DC toggle switch, can be found a hobby shops or any AC switch (like on a lamp wire could be used)

> new with wires attached, 4 shrekels; amazon.com/dp/B00004WLKC

> DC potentiometer, this device controls the amount of power allowed into the heating element

> new, 4 shrekels, amazon.com/gp/product/B00PI6T2KA

> 12v DC power adapter, can be found in any thrift shop for 1-2 shrekels or box of old wires one has for free. I may have used a 9v adapter on the original prototype but 12v is what cars are designed for so 12v is the max voltage you should use. Don't want to burn up ur heating element.

> new, 5 shrekels, what a rip off. amazon.com/gp/product/B006GEPUYA

And ofc a mason jar which you can find at the food shops or if you want them new they are 12 jars for 15 on amazon, so 1.25 each. but srsly you can find them with stuff in them for without the hassle.

so in conclusion such at at home smoker device could be made for the cost of 2 shrekels (if you need just the heater) or 10 (for heater, switch, voltage adjuster, DC adapter used), or even 20 shrekels if you really need the parts new and didn't have a jelly jar. I'm sure you goys know that a v2 starter kit is 60 shrekels and doesn't even include a loose leaf chamber.

I really hope both beginners and pros try this out for a home smoker, you don't have to worry about batteries or anything like that it always works and has very little maintenance. I know it's not standard but it's my beauty, a real champ.

> To clean it unscrew the glass jar off the top as you would to reload burning material then use a paper clip to gently push any ash from the burning bowel area. You may notice after a month the glass will get a sticky tobacco residue on the inside of the jar, this is normal and will happen if you use it once a day or more, you can clean it if you want with hot water.

What do you /vape/rs think of all this?
