Hmmmmm, that makes me think...

A while back on a hackers forum, there was this guy selling lasers. (No, Im not kidding) and depending on the color spectrum/strength, they would BURN.

This guy was giving himself burn tattoos, popping balloons, and igniting matches. This might be a cool way to combust your herb now.. (Expensive as fuck compared to a lighter) but gimicky and cool.

I guess you will need powerful laser to ignite a nug in few moments,but the same laser could easily hurt your skin and eyes, isn'it ?
I would not use if it can hurt me,also because after a big hit from my bong makes my mind fly away
But if that laser could not have a switch on\off but a secure push button as lighters it could work pretty safe,no?I mean when the thump is not anymore on the button,the laser beam stops.

Anyone tried to use this method?

I've thought about this before. I'm sure it would work, and be portable and kickass,,but with a high degree of associated risk. Normal sunglasses aren't laser safe, you need special lenses, for everyone in the room.

Shining a powerful laser into a large chunk of blown glass so that it refracts in all directions just seems kinda fucked.

And those things can blind you. I already have enough to worry about with my 63 watt hakko and its ability to burn through jeans like they're linen. My friends already just barely tolerate the light saber (hakko) , i don't know how they would react if I started passing out laser-rated goggles before a session.

Yeah, he does sell the military grade glasses with all of his lasers. Im guessing he is active duty or a contractor to have access to the stuff he does. He can make some serious (pseudo weapons grade) units if you have the cash. His vids are entertaining as well

butane torch
for the professional puffer.....

this is what goes in my lighter(s). whether a lighter or torch use the best butane for the very cleanest burn.......

 

[motaco]

I do the same S4L. I use an electric ignition refillable butane lighter with Colibiri butane.

No flint dust or cheap butane.

Honestly you can't tell much difference until that last hit from a cashed bowl. Its not so nasty with cleaner butane.

Holy moly ! you guy's are deeeep arn't you? havin a page's long discussion about a lighter?

 

[devilgoob]

after this thread i have a torch and some vector.

I hover over the bowl and vape some of it because it's a stable flame and you can control it.

LOL!


I'm gonna try taking some solar hits tomorrow, will any large magnifying glass work? I'm not sure I really like the idea though, it seems like the longer it takes to light the weed the worse it is

 

[schwilly]

the bigger the magnifying glass the better

wear sunglasses

the heat source is more direct than a lighter, and way faster

gotta be sunny

 

[HighDesertJoe]

I know that when ever a lighter was in my hot little hand it was a force of habit, BUT it would end up in my pocket.
So the Moral is always pat me down when I leave the party.
