Removing Vapor from Clear Glass
Dome
-
The
filter paper we use in chemistry is of a glass nature and can be washed in
solutions such as alcohol , either, acid tones etc. which then could be
separated in a separator funnel and the oils then could be removed and
reused for cooking or smoking etc
-
As THC
is fat soluble, i would suggest scrubbing the dome with cooking oil of
choice (use a brand new dollar-store variety brush with whiskers). the brush
can then be used in your sink.
with the oil you can make cookies, stir fry, rub into your skin etc.
if you want to get really healthy you could use something like grape seed
oil which as a lot of EFAs.
the nice thing about olive oil is it freezes in the fridge--even on the
fridge door (68 degrees is freezing point i think). and then thaws in a few
minutes in a pan of simmering hot water. that's important because you want
to preserve the thc in a frozen medium for potency. also, olive oil is a
natural preservative. it would keep even on the shelf at room temp if you
plan to use it within the week.
p.s. alcohol doesn't work that well. it's nasty to drink. you definitely
want to cook with the final result. much more psychologically pleasing than
slugging down dirty vodka.
- After a while
concentrated vapor builds up on the top of the clear glass dome. Tip upside
down the clear glass dome, then pour some Kahlua into the clear glass dome.
Swish the Kahlua around, this swishing action will remove the built up vapor.
Then pour the
Kailua into a glass
and mix with milk. Be careful that you do not consume to much alcohol or vapor.

Having
once owned and used the BC Vaporizer, I completely agree with your
evaluation and
critique of the non-fan direct contact style vaporizer. In order to maximize
efficiency
and minimize overhead cost and wastage, I remembered that my old vaporizer
tended to work
best when the herb is only in direct contact with the fully-heated metal
plate for short
periods of time. This can be achieved by manually shaking the herb at
regular intervals,
or by building a vaporizer that vibrates the entire filled bowl regularly
and
evenly. Obviously a low-end direct-contact vaporizer can never hope to match
a high-end
fan-based convection device (eg- Vapormatic Deluxe, Volcano etc) in
efficiency and
performance; however by comprehending vaporization/ the mechanics involved
in direct
contact heating, it should still be possible to build a basic user-friendly
device that
we all can afford and comprehend to live a "greener" "healthier" life. So
instead of
using a fan, I recommend building a vaporizer based on a small efficient
vibrating
heating unit.
-
I would think a
solution to this problem would be to heat the glass. As
glass is a conductor of heat (not electricity) you would need to attach
a device similar to that seen on car rear windscreen (see attachment)
but obviously much smaller for vaporisers. This would I assume prevent
the vapour condensing in the first place.
-
clean it with a damp
tea bag and when done enjoy your cup of tea.
