How To Make A Lightbulb Vaporizer

A lightbulb vaporizer is one of the easiest and least expensive ways of making a homemade vaporizer. It gets you high as hell and only for the cost of a few household materials. It works pretty good for only being a cheap homemade vaporizer that only takes a couple of minutes to put together. Everyone knows that vaporizers are more healthier than smoking from bowls or bongs, but some people don’t exactly know what a vaporizer is or how it works.

Materials Needed For Lightbulb Vaporizer

• 1 Lightbulb, use a 100-watt incandescent lightbulb, make sure it is clear, or if it has paint on it that you scrape all the paint off, the paint will put extra chemicals into your vaporizer and could be really bad for your health.
• Scissors
• 20 oz bottle, a soda bottle or water bottle will do
• Salt
• Electrical tape or duct tape

Instructions On Making Your Lightbulb Vaporizer

1. With scissors, cut off the top of the bottle you used to get detach the top part of the bottle including the neck and part where you screw the bottle cap onto the bottle. Remove the excess plastic, you want to cut the bottle about 2-3cm from the bottle cap.
2. Cut the edge to clean it up and make it straight.
3. Now make slices up the side of the plastic on the neck about 5cm apart, don’t cut all the way through the cap, you just want them to go up to the lip of the cap neck.
4. Now bend the slices of plastic inwards to make them straight. To get this done right you will have to overlap them slightly. Work with them until every slice is straight and overlapping, it should resemble a circle.
5. Test it on your lightbulb to see if it will fit, you do not want the plastic going past the metal, a centimeter or two should be good. If necessary cut off excess plastic to make it fit.
6. After you’ve made sure it fits good, straighten up the plastic even more for a tighter fit, you don’t want it sliding off your vaporizer while you’re using it, or the vapor slide through the cracks. We’re doing it this way to make it easy to remove and attach to new lightbulbs.
7. Now you’re going to wrap up the plastic edge, the bottom part of the cap with tape. Leave a little bit of tape sticking off the bottom part in the air. Make sure you wrap it really tight and if you’re using duct tape you will want to cut it in half. Cover up all the slits and holes you cut it in the plastic to prevent air from escaping.
8. Fold the tape inwards, this will allow you to easily slide on and the vaporizer cap to your lightbulb, and check to see if it fits tight. You want it really tight, if you don’t think it is tight enough or just want to make it a little tighter add another layer of tape and repeat the previous step.
9. Make two small holes in the bottle cap with your scissors, be careful this is where people usually get hurt. You want them large enough to fit a pen tube. Put a pen tube in one of the holes, the other hole you made will be your carb.
10. Here is where we prep the lightbulb for vaporizer use. Cut the metal circle on the end of the lightbulb off.
11. Gently holding the lightbulb in your hand (I emphasize GENTLY to prevent the lightbulb from shattering in your hands and reduce risk of injuries) use your scissors or another sharp object to weaken the black part on the end of the lightbulb. Once its weak punch a hole through it with the scissors or your other sharp object. If you use scissors, rotate them in a circle to shatter the black thing and make it fall out.
12. Stick your scissors straight into the lightbulb and use them to break up the insides without damaging the lightbulb. Empty the contents of the lightbulb in the trash.
13. Fill the lightbulb up with salt, this will remove the inside coating from the lightbulb. Shake it, and shake it until all the white stuff comes off.
14. Rinse your lightbulb out 15 times, then dry it gently and let it sit for a couple minutes. Shake any excess water out, you don’t want water inside your lightbulb vaporizer.
15. Gently push your head joint onto the lightbulb, screw on the bottle cap, and enjoy.

How To Use Your Homemade Lightbulb Vaporizer

1. Fill it up with around 0.3 grams of marijuana
2. Put your finger over the carb on the bottle cap and push the end of the pentube against your chest.
3. Keep your lighter about 5 cm under the lightbulb, and heat the lightbulb until you can see very faint vapor rising your weed. Do not hold your lighter too close as this will burn the weed, this is not what we want.
4. Then suck in your vapors and enjoy your very own homemade lightbulb vaporizer.

Note: Some people recommend candles for lighting your lightbulb vaporizer because it may waste a bit of lighter fluid to use it for this method. It takes a minute or two to get the vapor going.
