DIY vaporizer

Make a DIY vaporizer

Making your own DIY vaporizer is quite complicated – you need a power source, electrical wire, a hot plate or atomiser and a way to inhale the vaped substance. A pipe or something will do to vape. In all honesty if you are planning to vape cannabis or e-liquid you would be much better off buying a cheap vaporizer and using that instead of potentially wasting your bud.

If making a fully working DIY vaporizer is seeming a bit too complicated, there are easier ways. Unless of course you are a techy person and fancy taking a toaster apart and using the heating elements; it’s up to you.

You can vape cannabis resin and bud using a cheap standard e-liquid vaporizer, weed is not the only substance you can vape. It’s a case of trial and error really to learn which other substances you can vape (you might break a vaporizer or two in the process – be warned).

Homemade weed vaporizer

Well, the best way to vape weed is obviously through a custom made product, there are many vaporizers to choose from on the market. The Herbalizer and Volcano vaporizer to name a couple, but these products are expensive, often way over $100.

A cheaper alternative is to use an e-liquid kit.

Above are the standard components to vape e-liquid, but you can also use these to vape hash and weed. Make sure there is no e-liquid in the vaping chamber, then put the weed or hash directly onto the hot-plate located on the top of the lithium battery.

So you simply put the weed or hash on the hotplate (the part that the battery heats), then screw the inhalator back on. Once the components are assembled hit the power on the battery and start heating. It takes a while to vaporize so keep the button down. After a few seconds heating you should be able to inhale the vapor and get high!

Homemade vaporizer warnings

When using any electrical equipment there is always danger involved. If you start dismantling household items to make a homemade vaporizer then there is risk involved, electrocution and fire are possible. The safest way to vaporize hash and weed is with specifically made device. The second and cheapest way is to use an e-liquid vaporizer and put hash or weed in it. When vaping hash and weed through an e-liquid inhaler be careful that the battery doesn’t over heat. This could cause the battery to explode and cause injury.

Every time you vape hash or weed through an e-liquid inhaler you should clean it out properly. Using weed or hash in an e-liquid vaporizer will damage the product as they were intended for e-liquid use only.

Vaping hash oil

You should not vape hash oil through an e-liquid vaporizer! It will only work a couple of times before the hotplate is covered and no longer works. The best thing to use is weed or pollen as it doesn’t tend to stick to the hotplate as much. Weed and pollen are easier to clean out of the vaporizer.

E-liquid vaporizers were not intended for this purpose it is possible to vape other substances through them. On some devices you can turn the power and temperature up; these are the best to use if you want to do a cheaper DIY vaporizer.
