My evolution of glass dry herb vaporizers!

I tried my first vaporizer 20+yrs ago and ive spent the past 20 trying to learn all I could about vaporizing! I sucked air past hot coils, electronics etc. I learned better around 15yrs ago. Around then I started blowing glass. I then started being meticulous about every possible contaminate and how to eliminate them when vaporizing. I created glass elements and seperated air and nastys. Then it evolved from using a cord for power to using batteries. Then from a bulky portable vaporizer with an un effecient all glass heater to a very small pocketable one with a super effecient heater! Now im ready to share what I made! They are conduction/convection or hybrid. You flip open the top and see 2 holes, heater and stem. Remove the stem, turn the unit over to see the stash jar. Load the stem then flip the unit to see the heater hole. Insert the loaded stem. Hold the button for 40-60 sec and enjoy.
I can make ones that use the 12v battery that last 10+ sessions or the smallest pocketable versions that I can make have the 8v battery. All use the same convection/conduction hybrid heater.


Fyi they are prototypes. I have a cnc router on its way to make perfect versions.

Hold the button for 40-60 sec
one of my earliest prototypes used a button to control power to the coil - i think i used a car cigarette lighter coil. i found the current
drain would eat the button.

a cnc router is what i use now. after making several cubes per year by hand for a dozen years i finally standardized on a design i could do on the cnc. what a world of difference. a perfect 1/8" hole, a perfect Deans plug cutout. - really rigid and 0.001" tolerance. when the pcb is .76" instead of .75" it is no problem.

do you have your GCODE generator figured out? i have a nifty Excel spreadsheet that can generate a .NCC file for circular boss, rectangular boss, rectangular pocket, round hole, rectangular hole. this is what i have needed for milling 4 faces of my cube. and both sides of the cover, and a bezel for the thermometer unit. i will put it on Github but i could email it to you if interested.

i use MS Publisher as a 2D layout program actual size. then use those layout coordinates to program the GCODE generator.

my cnc router expected a parallel printer port - fat chance! - i even dug out some 15 year old pcs to try to connect but no compatible software. i found a really good USB interface and software that works perfectly with my cheap chinese cnc router running off my Windows 11 pc. has a preview mode so i can see what the router will do.

good luck on your new addiction - well, my vape is an addiction for me.

and, all glass for the win!!!
