those are pretty awesome.. how did you make the holes in the salt shakers? and what did you use to seal them?

That is quite the little device there, I assume you take the top off like a normal machine? Should try to figure out how to integrate one of those $5 ceramic stones that someone else posted about earlier!

Made the holes with a glass drill bit and cut the Vase stems with a grinder and sanded with a rotary sander. Bit of Hot Glue Gun and your away (with the fairies)  Please do not PM tek related questions Reserve the right to change your mind at any given moment.

No the top stays on... there is a pipe screen behind the hole in the cap to 'distrupt/stop' the flame (from ordinary lighter) The distance from the hole to the scrubber is just the right amount for the heat to vape the spice (settling in a 'well/dimple' pushed into the scrubber.) Just light and inhale and watch the milky white smoke sail smoothly through the pipe and up the stem.... It whistles as you pull too... I thought about the stones...but this just works too well.

That's awesome - probably the best looking machine I've seen. I don't want my smoking device to look tooo ghetto, and I think this is really tasteful and ingenious. Would it be possible to get a photo of under the metal cap - so we can all see the pipe screens position? Is that metal salt shakers cap non reactive when it burns; is it safe to burn and inhale through? How did you make the mesh "well" - and - what is the mesh well made of? Hats off to you cyb.

Hats off to you cyb. Here you go Lichen... The screen is held in place with a drop of glue. The cap is just Tin or Aluminium, I think, and doesn't get hot enough to react. The dimple in the scrubber...just poke a pen into it and place 20mg inside and cover it back up. The Loading Chamber mesh is a piece of frying pan splatter protector moulded around a AA battery. Mesh is a piece of kitchen scrubber..rolled up and burned and washed. Actual body is a cheap (50c) vinegar bottle, like you get in a cafe. (£1 shop) Stem is a single stem flower vase. Nice thing about this one is you use it horizontally so you can view the vapour GVG...Pah... cyb attached the following image(s): Machine.JPG (350kb) downloaded 3,947 time(s).

i wonder if one could find a similar screw on cap that can handle direct heat; torch the metal to heat the air in a similar manner to the lotus vaporizer.. i do have an empty jimi hendrix vodka bottle laying around, maybe i should try something like this and report back (after a couple test bottles to make sure i dont shatter it). My wind instrument is the bong
CHANGA IN THE BONGA!

Scrolled down, saw the loading chamber idea and a proverbial lightbulb got so bright it smashed inside my brain.. Embraces meme just about sums it up perfectly  Thanks again Cyb, I think I may start saving up for a dremel

You have one of them... Wow that's AWESOME.. Off to google pricing on similar.. Then no doubt weep at my lack of approriate funds (currently saving up for a GVG lol). That really is the ultimate looking device

I love the square one. nice flat surface for it to stand up all by itself, no rolling over or wobbling. Very clever construction. Roses are red
Violets are blue
Take the third hit
Then youuu....
