stinkmeaner- this is true :) but i was just was working with what i had. Surprisingly enough though i haven't really had much trouble with combustion since you can see the herbal goodness as your lighting it.
I found that this $1 metal cone I have can turn my bong into a vaporizer
I just pushed a dime sized screen a little ways down the stem
Only takes a thumbnail of bud, then I use a lighter held about 1cm away, same style as a vaporgenie or vaporstar
