Fuck bics and any other lighter for smoking Bud

Certain hakko soldering irons use a ceramic element to heat the tip. What you do is unscrew the shielding, slide off the tip and you now have a ceramic lighter to chief with. You can either hold the tip just above the bud for a vape effect. Or just lightly graze the top of your bowl and instantly a perfect cherry.

why you should to

1. NO MORE BREATHING IN DIRTY BUTANE. If you grow your own chron, then why fuck up that wonderful flavor with butane.
2. I find it conserves bud and I can stretch my stash more.
3. Way easier to corner a bowl with a hot little rod than a flame.

Q. Will this work with any soldering iron?

A: NO, only with soldering iron that use a ceramic element.


Q. Where do I get it?

A. right here http://shop3.frys.com/product/15563...kfymD8cxg**.node3?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG












The tip gets hot enough To instantly ignite the bud once contact is made. works good for bubble hash and hash oil.


i got the 25 watt hakko and i love it its great. After using it i find my self only wanting to some with that and nothing else no more lighters for me unless theres not outlet lol.
my good friend has a hakko 454 that i use very often, and it is by far the best way to burn.
Count another vote for this new lighting method. Taste is definitely a noticebable improvement, and I usually use Lava brand butane in refillable lighters. I would gag trying to finish off a bowl's ashes with lighters, so I'd blow them out, but not anymore.
Picked up the $30 Hakko from Frys couple days ago... Really like it so far...

awesome idea. I remember seeing the makers of vapezilla selling a similar product. just a stupid box with a ceramic heating element sticking out of it and it cost $150. definitely going to get this, thanks.

Let me be the first to say that is pretty neat. One question, do you know what temperature the tip actually is? I'm glad someone thought of another way to rid butane from their smoking other than solarpuffing(which is godly) and matches(which is stinky). Props

Stay creative,

Good find bro, but I just gots to know.
what's with them skinny assed alien arms?
those your pipes or a friends? someone's
got some bulking up to do.

btw, I'm pretty happy with my blue pencil
flame lighter for the cleanest burn when I
use 'Vector Quintuplus' butane, it's been
filtered 5 times and is best for using w/my
VaporGenie.......

i wouldn't use one of those near my face when lighting a J or a spoon unless you paid me a fair bit ahead of time. Thats a recipe for leaving a long burn line on my face.

I'll stick with my cheapo adjustable lighters thankyaverymuch

I use a small butane torch i bought at home depot for 20 bucks and a homemade glass rod that i heat up and smoke with. works perfect. wait until the rod is red and press it against the bud and you have the exact same concept you have here.

i love it too the bud tastes 10x better than it does when using a lighter. not to mention is overall just better for you too.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Stoner4Life again.

I laughed so hard, the kid passed out on my sofa right now just stirred. I'm going to dickface him in like 5 minutes.

Mr. Tony- There's brawn and there's brains. You have the latter. Good idea! RE: the former- Find yourself a good plumber. Maybe he can do something about your pipes...

Interesting idea... but I was hoping that this post was leading to solar puffs.
dual convex lense + sun + reefer = pure.

Whatever happened to good old grotto sticks? i still use one when i am blowing glass. That is the only true way to light the weed.
