hi peeps,

i had an idea and I searched a bit, couldn't find discussions about it. how about using charcoal, like one used for shishas or hookas, to vaporize the spice? SWIM tried smoking spice only once, not much success. quite difficult with lighter, when SWIM tries to inhale, moving air makes lighter flame touch the spice and smoke gets plastic and hard to keep it down in lungs. what if using a red hot charcoal [holding with tongues, of course], to bring it closer gradually to vaporize the spice without burning it? probably the best way would be someone else holding charcoal though.. health and safety.
any thoughts why it's good/bad idea?

thanks

how about just infusing it on some weed and putting it in a hookah? it seems a lot easier than moving a hot coal towards your spice, plus coals are crumbly and it seems like theres a lot of things that can go wrong.

I wouldn't want to be holding a piece of burning charcoal when my Elvis leaves the building.

i would get some kind of stand to hold the tongs/coal.

hold the bong/pipe up to it, inhale, set the pipe down and sit back so as not to burn yourself.


still kinda sketch to have a hot coal close to you when you are aren't aware of your physical form.. but if you do err on the side of caution you should be fine.


actually sounds like a good idea..

i still like my laser pointer idea better, even though apparently that one won't work..


maybe if there was some electric heat element that could be used as a lighter replacement, that had a cool surface soon after you stop holding the button or what have you..

i wonder if that is a thing....

Have you ever seen a glass vapor rod? It's essentially just a glass rod and the end is balled up.. You heat the ball with a torch and then use the heat from that to do baisically the same thing you were saying with charcoal..

Check it out I used to use on in my earlier spice days untill I graduated to the (double)health stone ..Damn near 100% efficient IMO

The herb iron!

..although it takes up to 4-5 min to fully cool its pretty close right?

yea, something similar to that. maybe you could just have a protective metal cover that slides over it automatically when you let go.
but that is pretty cool.. i wonder how adjustable the temperature is.

that Herb Iron sounds much better than charcoal. awesome.
does anyone has experience with it and spice? what about comparing it with GVG? price is roughly similar, I wonder which would be better.

well you can buy the same kind of ceramic filter as the GVG for cheap.

if you can find a glass blower in your area you can get a cheap pipe/bong attachment built to it.

imo, that is THE way to go, and it supports local glass blowers.
