    Tek Levitation Volatilization

    I was trying to find a more efficient and tasty method for volatilizing concentrates. Dabs on glass seem to taste a little better than on metal. If only a flame wasn't necessary to heat the nail. Electric heat is the only other choice. How to get the glass nail to interface with the heat source...

    E-Cig Cartridge Mod

    Get Hammered

    I had some screens that were just a tiny bit small in diameter. I thought if I hammered it flatter, it would also get bigger in diameter. It worked great. The fit was very nice. The screen is a lot stiffer. The surface of the screen was now very shiny and more of a weave than a screen. The holes...
