Pot Vaporizer Views
The vaporizer produced THC at a temperature of 200 C. (392 F.) while completely eliminating three measured toxins - benzene, a known carcinogen, plus toluene and naphthalene. Temperatures of around 200 C. appear to be most efficient for vaporization. The potency of the cannabis in the study was on the order of 10% - 12%. Significant amounts of THC (around 5%-6%) begin to be released at 180 C., with slightly more (7% or 8%) at 200 C. Carbon monoxide and smoke tars were both qualitatively reduced by the vaporizer.
Make a Vaporizer!! Supplies -5 Gallon jug (you need this so the plastic wont melt at the top) -Small Soldering Iron (with screw off tip) -Screw -Thimble or Brass Plate that is bowl shaped -Light Dimmer (optional, read about it) Soldering Iron Find a soldering iron with a screw off tip. These can be found at ANY hardware story, Ace Hardware, Home Depot, and Home Base are obvious examples. Unscrew the tip. Find a screw that can screw into the hole you just made by unscrewing the tip. Just match the width of the hole with the width of a screw that size. Find a brass plate, or bowl shaped brass plate thing that you can drill a hole into. One with a hole already in it would be nice. Drill a hole that is the width of the screw into the brass bowl thing. Then screw the screw through the brass bowl into the soldering iron. You are done with this part.
