In my very last meth binge I discovered the perfect set up. I should have taken pictures because it is a little hard to explain.
Halfway through a 1/4 ounce at around 2AM I punched a hole in my glass bowl pipe trying to clean it with a brass brush from a Dremel. I was just twirling the brush in my fingers, not scrubbing the glass at 2,000 rpm with the Dremel but it still cracked. Fortunately, I had stockpiled a box of 6 brand new halogen light globes precisely in case I ever found myself in this situation. Unfortunately, I was so twacked that in less than an hour I had massively cracked or holed every one of those globes trying to make a vaporiser. Even though I actually have previously made a lightbulb vaporiser several times in a pitch dark room entirely by touch and occasional lighter flashes with a bic.
I was pouring sweat, totally determined to smoke more, and getting highly anxious as I ransacked the house for something to use. I tried blowing a new bubble but got no where. Then I found a stockpile of these 10ml glass vials I use to store different drugs. They are made of super thick glass and the black lid is some kind of heat resistant bakelite material that is difficult to melt.
So using a diamond point drill bit in my Dremel (honestly, the tweaker’s favourite toy) I cut a 0.5 cm carb hole at the bottom on one of the long sides and cut a hole just big enough to insert a bendable stainless steel drinking straw through the black lid. I used a thin cutting disk to put several 3mm long vertical cuts in one end of the straw, inserted it in the lid and then peeled back the strips I’d cut in the end to lock it into the lid and make a seal. I just bent the metal straw a bit to position the glass vial in the ideal position with carb hole in an upright position and tried smoking a small shard as an experiment.
The glass was so thick that what worked best was a really good hit with a jet lighter to liquify it and then a careful little jiggle of the metal straw to keep the puddle in the middle of the glass vial. With maybe 10-15 seconds further direct heating with a jet lighter the puddle would hit the correct temperature perfectly and plume massively and I was getting the biggest hits I have ever gotten from any implement ever. Not once did I burn anything and I put 2 grams through it over the next day with no problems whatsoever.
If I ever wanted to smoke meth again I swear I would just make another one of these rather than buy a pipe or bubbler.
