Start with material safety then.More like safety warnings. Also ideas for materials. Not quite sure what I can use. I want to mount a cartridge heater on a block of wood, put a glass enclosure around it, fill it with glass beads, use a threaded glass tube so I can make a screw-on herb chamber. Surround that with a jar or something for heatshield. Also, can I use any kind of glue or resin or something like that for high temp? If I can pour clear and heat-resistant material that would harden and secure things, that would be great. Otherwise, how on earth do you mount this stuff? I mean the glass, do you just stick it in a tight hole? Id be nice if I could find a glass cylinder that was heat resistant and threaded on both ends.

Finding the glass im working on.
Im trying to make a volcano lol.
I dont eat much. I do make things, just stupid things. I have all the tools but dont really use them.
It was a joke.

Cartridge heaters are easy to buy but a boro vile 1.5 - 2 in diameter about 6 inches give or take long is harder and idk if that is even a good idea.
Beads to help with the heat. Found some but lost them. I dont know how to make the bowl. Im thinking, metal lid with holes in it or one hole with metal disk screen, under the screw on lid, a 1.5" sink drain screen.
On the lid, I dont know how ill attach anything else. I was thinking about just gluing the lid to a glass jar with the bottom cut off and a top that tapers. I want to cool the vapor somehow though. If I had an identical diameter lid, I could place that above the other one and drill a hole in the middle for a coil. Then I could fill that with water to cool. Id also like to one day be able to add MULTIPLE herb chambers for MORE POWER!
I want to add beads that are colored or perhaps can glow under certain light or something so it looks cool and ill add a light.
Im not looking forward to wiring anything. I was going to use a soldering iron heat controller for adjusting the heat but I have no idea how to do that.
Id really like feedback.
Especially any solders,glues or composites.
I would strongly suggest buying a used volcano for A couple hundred bucks and gut it to see.
