hot rails aren't dangerous if you do them correctly. I'd make a video, but that's probably not the best idea, so I'll just tell you the best way to do it.
HOW TO HOT RAIL (meth)
I. SUPPLIES
a) a mirror, or granite countertop (a very hard surface which will not melt when heat is near.) do not attempt to do this on a wood table, or a plastic countertop, or anything that could possibly burn or leave marks.
b) meth. get a little bit out (amount depends upon how many people are there, and how much you want to do. it doesn't really matter how much, because it can't be wasted, if you put out too much you can always do the rest later, or put it back in your baggie, or throw it in a vapor pipe).
c) a small butane torch.
do not attempt to do this with a lighter. IT WILL NOT WORK. candles don't work either. I have a torch that looks very similar to that, and I got it for twelve dollars. the butane gas to refill it costs about four dollars and lasts a couple months, if not more, depending upon frequency of usage. a one time purchase that you'll be thankful for in the long run.
d) a glass one-hitter/crack pipe/peace pipe whatever it is you call it.
e) a credit card, or a razor, or whatever it is you use to chop up a line.
f) optional: some type of 'mouth piece' or cover for the end of the glass pipe.
I'll explain this later.
II. SET UP, CHOP & FORM RAILS
1. Find surface (mirror, granite countertop).
2. Make sure it's clean. If you clean this area first with some kind of chemical, make sure it's clean and dry before you put your stuff on it.
3. Put meth on said surface.
4. Crush VERY VERY FINE. The finer, the better. For me, the best way is to place the drugs on surface of choice. Place a bill (dollar, five, ten, what have you) on top of drugs. Hold each end of the bill down with one hand (drugs should be right in the middle of the bill, under the bill.) Use the bottom of a lighter, or the bottom of a cigarette pack, or something hard to crush the drugs with. Go over it a few times. Slowly and gently pick up the bill. Most of the drugs will have remained on the surface, but a bit will be stuck to the bill. Shake it off. Use razor blade or credit card to chop a bit more and form line.
5. Line(s) formed should be QUITE THIN. This is not the time for fat hollywood rails. Granted they'll probably be quite long, but they need to be thin. It works way better in this fashion. This way the end of the hot pipe can vaporize the drug easier when it's crushed up well and there's not huge amounts of it at one time. Line(s) should be thin and uniform. (same amount spread throughout the whole line, not one thick end and one skinny end, etc.)
III. HEATING THE PIPE & BLAST OFF
1. The rails should be set up and ready to go. Grab your one hitter. Grab your torch. Turn your torch on med/hi. (Most torches I've seen have a control on them, either a plus minus sign or whatever it may be, but it should be set on the hi end, preferably med/hi if you can.) If you can set the torch down on a surface, great. If not, just hold it in your hand.
2. Hold the one hitter horizontally in front of the flame. The part that the flame needs to concentrate on is the thinnest part of the pipe, where the bowl separates the stem. Don't heat up the stem, you'll burn yourself. If you keep the flame down by the bowl/tiny opening, the heat should stay down there and you won't burn yourself.
*3. (see section 1f) If you fancy, you can get some type of lip piece or mouth piece for the pipe. The pipe usually gets a little warm, I've personally never burnt myself, but I do like to have a little covering on it just in case. The image I attached shows mouth pieces that are available for purchase from e-cig shops. I think they're like 3 for a dollar or something. Use your imagination. There's tons of things that can be used as a cover, anything hard plastic (don't apply direct heat to these mouthpieces, obviously....). As I said, these coverings are optional, you don't have to have them, but they can come in handy sometimes.
4. Heat the pipe anywhere from 2 minutes or more. Depends on how high/hot your torch is and how thick the glass is on your pipe. I like to get the thinner ones, I get the cheapest/thinnest/longest available. If the glass is too thick, you're more likely to burn yourself on the pipe. Spin the pipe around so all sides are getting equally heated. (again, concentrating the heat ONLY on the small point where the bowl turns into the stem.)
5. The pipe needs to be REALLY FRIGGING HOT. 2 minutes usually does the trick for me. (the first line heating up will take the longest; if you have people waiting behind you, the pipe DOES need more heat applied to it, but not as much - there will be some residual heat left in the glass.)
6. Once you're confident that the end of the pipe is hot as heck, it's time to get ready.
7. It's best to get at the line at a 45 degree angle. You shouldn't be straight up and down (like directly over the line, where it would have to go straight up the pipe) and also you shouldn't be laying the pipe even with the surface (duh), so 45 degree angle works the best. Be ready immediately when the pipe is hot, you don't have time to be dicking around. Hold the pipe at the very top, but give yourself a tiny bit of nose room. Stay behind the line at a 45 degree angle and sniff. A swift, quick movement works best.
8. Blow a gigantor magic dragon cloud out of your mouth and go "ooooogaboogaboooga!" and shake around a little bit. mmmmm feels nice!!!
*some won't get it on their first try(s). Generally it is because the pipe is not hot enough. GET THAT THING HOT!!!!! At least you don't waste anything, you're still snorting it, just not in the way you intended to

*it might feel a little hot in your nose, but you're not getting burnt. Technically, you are smoking (vaporizing) through your nose. It's just like if your vaping pipe gets a little hot and it feels like you're inhaling hot smoke. Same thing - you're not getting burnt.
*please, be careful. There is potential here for getting burnt. However, if you follow directions and don't be an idiot, there's a lot less chance of someone getting hurt.
have fun kids!
