if you're going to be that elaborate, why not vape?

Exactly...Sorry but it sounds a bit like a PITA. I would rather buy a vape.

Props for creativity tho..

I doubt the OP is a salesman for Hakko, this idea has been runnin around the glass forums at another place for several years. Basically, someone started ripping apart soldering irons once Phedor came out with their product until they found one w/ a ceramic element. Once they found it, they told everyone else, the brand that person found just happened to be Haako. Shit even Weller makes Ceramic Element Irons, but do you really want to pay 3X the price?

Also, as someone else had mentioned, if you prefer to go cordless: they make cordless, butane powered soldering irons.....

Use a fucking laser for god's sake, stop living in the past.

is that a joke or is that serious? i have heard of people using pot-modded green laser pointers to spark bowls... i'm not certain how safe that is since if you got laser in your eye you = fucked

anyone try this?

Hello all,

I rub two sticks together until there are embers to light my bong with.

But I like the laser idea also.

The ceramic soldering iron is a good idea except you have to keep it heated or wait till it gets hot.

Instantanious heat is what I am looking for.

Much like alternative fuels for cars...if I can't go from zero to 60 very quickly I don't want to use it.

Just a thought.

...or you could just get a Vaporgenie.
Same concept, different execution. There's a nice diagram on vaporgenie.com.

Then you wouldn't be tethered to the wall and could smoke outside.

And props to whoever brought up the point about burning your face; soldering irons are a bit unwieldy to use near your eyes, nose, and mouth. Those things get hella-hot and take a while to cool down. It's not quite like letting go of a button to stop the burning...

Maybe I just handle myself better than others. I've hit it plenty of time with a dry piece, even a 3" chillum.


Not a sales-man for hakko just trying to get the word out.

I flip on the hakko (power strip is a must) and then pack my snap. By the time I'm ready, its ready. All good. :)

I saw some DIY video about making a legit laser that could ignite a match and pop a balloon.

If I point my hakko at my face nothing happens. if the laser reflects off something and hits me in the eye....

i believe it was roadies at a pink floyd show who first used amplified light to vaporize a piece of hashish.

...that is, if i remember the story right.

i find it pretty funny that in every milk shot picture the kid is still lighting the weed... guess what man, you are supposed to light it briefly... not until the hit is over.

so many bong lovers will torch the fuck out of weed, smoking it as quick as they can like it will get them higher.... although all they are do is wasting it. over burning and exhaling 80% of their "massive" hit.

i will blow a bowl out after the third hit. If there is anything left, its gonna taste like shit anyways so why even bother with that to save half a hit?

snaps are the way to go.

What about the little tidbit at the bottom of the page?

Sounds just as nasty as butane. Nastier even?
