Help w/ Meth - Vaporizing

[Scrofula]

Never had that issue before. If anything I get bad dried-out nose/mouth sessions.

 

[zephyr]

Nah. Maybe you are coincidentally getting sick or have a cat allergy and have shadow cats instead of people. Hahaha

Well the thing is, I should have a background runny nose anyways due to opioid withdrawal last month, but a x4 dose of diphenhydramine always fixes that. The opioid w/d runny nose is pretty mild too compared to this. I empty my sinuses only to find that a second full paper-towel load of snot is ready to rip not a minute later.

 

[zephyr]

Gross.

Sorry mate I got nothing.

Pseudoephedrine is the only thing that works for me.

Now that's ironic.

Also, all these threads and a mod doesn't know that's a decongestant not an anti-histamine? Living where I do, my first pusher was the allergy doc.

Today in meth n00b dumbassery, grabbed the wrong lid, one with (a lot, shitty batch) of the crumbs well-steeped in hot water, the other to the vaseline jar for lubing the syringe intended to put that water up my asshole. I'm getting effects from the leftover water, and it turned out quite concentrated. I say a solid 3ml wound up actually in the roughly quarter-cup vas. jar (call it 60mL, socialists). [Aside: they shouldn't mix, obv, but ancient jar of jelly means just the chance of hygroscopic contaminants catching some mg precludes me from putting it back on the elderly parent's shelf. Should I stash my meth-jelly, hoping to forget, and give myself a surprise next 'roid season?]

Point: I was stuck with my butthole cause I got angry and impatient and crammed new dope onto old dope on the way to work, forgetting that it's still dark at my 4am start, and any flame lights up my felonious activities for the entire morning crew and Federal Police that monitor the secured Federal Facility I work for. Result was a half-molten seared mess everywhere.

Point to future selves: you can take a ten second break from skyping your genitals to find a good container and set the alarm earlier. Load only what you need then. You can absolutely smoke and rail meth in a US Fed parking lot, try to choose the right ROA for the light.

7. If you ever don't have an actual glass pipe, you can use a light bulb. Just make sure you rinse out the inside pretty good (preferably with salt water) so you get a somewhat clean base to smoke it off of.

I often hear about this but how the heck do you get the metal top off the lightbulb??

I dont have shadow cat allergies so didnt think of antihistamines.

Wrap it in a tea towel and tap it on a bench corner.

I just got a fairly thick flat head screwdriver and kind of pried the silver metal connection piece at the bottom off before scraping the leftover black pieces of plastic off.

Then, I used the screwdriver to gently crush the filament and inside bulbs and pulled out the wires with a pair of needle nosed pliers

after you get everything out of the inside of the glass, you pour some salt in there and add water and shake it around pretty good. You have to get the powder left on the bulb to wash out. Wouldn't hurt to rinse it like 3-4 times with salt water

after that, being left with just a hollow bulb and the metal piece surrounding the base, you can technically use it like that. Not really ideal though since you can miss a lot of the smoke because there is no shotty.

I would usually take a screw driver and heat it up really hot and use it to burn a hole into a plastic bottle cap wide enough so you can put a straw into it. Don't put the straw too far into the bulb because the bottom will get hot as you hold the flame under it and you can burn the straw.

you will need to untape and tape the cap back on each time you pack it though. You just drop the crystals down through the hole in the bulb and hit it like any other meth pipe from there. I just realized that you could put a shotty in the cap but it would be awkward to hold and wouldn't make a real difference

Keep in mind that this only works for incandescent light bulbs which are actually getting harder to find anymore but are still easily purchased in most places

Damn, I suddenly actually appreciate living where I do, where I have a dozen smokeshops within five miles to buy a pipe for $5 (and scare the stoner kids with their glass dragon bongs and elaborate weed gear).

But middle of the night accidents happen.

 

[Phil.McKeer]

Hmmmm...perhaps also check out the burning string glass-cutting trick.

You'll have to look it up on YouTube as I don't exactly remember all the steps, but basically you tie a piece of string around the glass where you want to cut it, burn the string (leaving a localized hot ring around the circumference of the base of your bulb) and then dip that hot-ringed bitch in cold-ass water (as opposed to cold ass-water, which is no good for this application ?). Voila (i think)!

Also, anyone else just fucking LOVE watching puddles turn back into crystals as it cools? Fucking awesome. Probably the best part, at least for me (i can't seem to find the high euphoric no matter how hard I try).

Still working on keeping pipes clean, so I have dark spots blocking some of the view, and patches of that frost that forms. So I have my little LED flashlight to see where the puddle is, but the flashlight LEDs reflect back and look like happy little shards, so I tilt the bowl and shine the light around into every little facet, check every single angle, then hit it with the lighter, a big hit, repeat,
HOLY SHIT FUCK AN HOUR JUST WENT BY

So, yeah

Detailed explanation! Thanks, now let's just hope I never need to use this info

I often hear about this but how the heck do you get the metal top off the lightbulb??

Easiest, (and most precise-least chance of over puncturing and breaking the glass w/ a screwdriver), way I found was to take a pair of NEEDLENOSE Pliers. Put the skinniest part, (towards the tip-end of the pliers), perpendicular to the bulb. If you hold the bulb upside down, with the black cap on top, put the tip(ish) area of the pliers on each side of the black cap, (which is just porcelain), and snip it just like snipping with scissors! May take an attempt or two to find the right force, but it’s the easiest and cleanest way. After that’s snapped, use the tip of the pliers, (holding them like Norman Bates-stabby way), and LIGHTLY stab, stab, stab, the remainder of the porcelain, knocking it into the bulb for the least mess. Then use the tip of the pliers as mentioned in others’ replies, to GENTLY break the filament that’s inside the bulb. Once that’s broken off, dump the broken bits out (best you can), and do your best to remove the filament without breaking the bulb. I still find the needlenose more efficient, as with a screwdriver, I tend to over-apply pressure and puncture the actual bulb. Just tilt the bulb with the screw, metal end, at the bottom, and use the pliers to snip the filament down to sizes that allow you to eventually pull it out the metal end entirely. Once practiced, you can build one out fast as hell! Like the others said, use salt (water if you want, just course salt is fine too) and shake it around for a while to remove the paint from the bulb’s inside. Takes seconds. Then I also concur with the Liter, 2-Liter, Soda cap, and screwing that onto the metal end. Melt a whole for straw, tape, untape, as needed when loading. (TIP: each time you re-tape the straw, tape it in a tight and structured way. Go round each side, going back the straw as much as half-way.) this will ensure stability. First one I made took me 9 tweaked out hours, first attempt to ever vaporize, and I was so shaky, (so was the straw), that I dropped it as soon as I struck the lighter. Lolol. Live and learn.
