Hello! I've only been using E-cigs for about a month, and I only signed up for the forums this evening, but I found this post searching for a "mod" I'm working on. About ten years ago, a buddy was trying something he found that was supposed to be a legal hallucinogen, but it was too harsh for him to smoke it. Trying to help him out, I learned about vaporizers...the big glass bottle types for smoking tobacco and other things. They were too pricey, so I did the legwork for him and found out about making your own with a soldering iron...so I built one. PVC and plastic, and it worked great. So long ago I doubt I could find the site again with the plans.
Basically, I built a base out of PVC so it would stand on its own, and the soldering pencil would be held vertically (tip up). I cut a small circle of real thin stainless and popped a hole in the center so it would sit on the tip of the soldering pencil, then curved the edges to make a dish of sorts. Then I cut a 2-liter soda bottle just above the plastic base (remember those), and fit it inside the PVC base. The instructions on the site said basically to heat the soldering iron and steel plate, put your plant matter on the plate, and put the bottle top in the base. When you started seeing wisps of vapor in the bottle, take the cap off the 2-liter and inhale. My buddy said it worked like a charm, and even started using it for his cig tobacco at home. (not real useful in a car or work) So I guess I can safely say this idea will work, depending on the variables involved with the PG and other ingredients.
I'm currently working on rebuilding my old experiment, but I'm going to try using some of the cart packing on the steel plate to help hold the juice for a while. If I learn anything, I'll let you know. Good work so far!
