Here's a few pics of a glass vaporiser, currently flame operated, improvised from labware.

Fully assembled:


The pieces:

So, we have a 500mL sidearm RBF, a 200mm air condenser/column, a sidearm adapter and a thermometer/tube adapter. The small glass tube is not used in the heating operations but does come in handy now and again:


The heat diffuser, made from coiled-up fine copper gauze:

This can be removed with the help of the screw cap when hot... The flame is directed onto a smaller button of coiled-up gauze.

Holder for matter to be vaped, a sort of thimble, again fashioned from fine copper gauze:

The side arm acts as a carburettor.

It's highly effective but the metal heat diffuser ought to be replaced with something more inert.


Yes, the glassware was very clean before use...

How can I remove the unnecessary attachments at the bottom of the post?

Next to the edit and delete buttons at the top of the post there should be a button called attach (note: not the "attach files to this post" button). When you click on attach, it will bring you to the page that shows you what pictures you have already uploaded. While on this page there are options to delete previously uploaded pictures or you can even upload more to the same post.

Hope this helps!



BTW, that vaporizer looks intense! Well done!

Gratitude extended to you, Grateful One! Sadly this doesn't work. When I try to edit the post, there is no longer an option to attach files, and consequently no means of editing the attachments.

The device is highly suitable for toasting brains and smooth as can be! By using multiple different diffusers and holders, many different flavoured herbs can be enjoyed, it would seem. It could probably do with a few clips to hold it together, and a nice stand

Hmmm? That is weird...so you are saying that next to the Delete, Edit, and Quote buttons at the upper right hand corner of all full member's posts there isn't a button next to those that says attach?

You shouldn't need to go into the "edit post" to do the method I mentioned above. There should be a physical "Attach" button, like the quote button. Once clicked, it shows you what you have uploaded. I've used it before to delete pictures when I was being overly paranoid!

It doesn't make any sense as to why I would have access to this while others don't IMO! I feel like I may have miscommunicated in my above post or something...

Sorry, I'm just being incredibly thick again! I re-read what you've said and have worked out what you suggested to do.


Let's just delete these posts and pretend it never happened

But if I delete the attachments, will the pictures stay in the OP? One way to find out, I guess...

Yes, that makes them disappear. Now I think I'll just leave it, or upload the pictures somewhere else later.

It's all good man! It took me half a day of searching (at least) when I first figured out how to remove pictures. You could always delete all of them and reattach them in whatever fashion in which you originally intended! Onwards and upwards, friend!

Getting back on track, here are a few more views of the gauze components.

Firstly, a view of the thimble/basket:

Then some more views of the heat diffuser;
