[edit] Vaporizer! Vaporizer! Vaporizer! -- or, failing the money(??), a minitoke utensil

Having read your comment about "blunts" on the Cannabis smoking discussion page, I wondered, (a) Where does he get the money to waste all that riefer in a bit fat 1500° F. smoking device, and (b) why does he tolerate the admixture of nicotine (in the cigar wrapper)?

I know some cannabis users are proud of how much herb they can burn up without getting tobacco cancer etc., but think seriously about outgrowing all that chauvinism. My suggestion is, if you can afford to burn joint- and blunt-loads of riefer, you can afford a 410° F. (or lower) vaporizer, ranging from the $600 Volcano (endorsed by NORML Executive Director Allen F. St. Pierre) on down through various brands in the $200 range. If you are hooked on tobacco and have thought of getting rid of the habit, consider having two vaporizers, one for tobacco (you can knife off a tiny piece of cigar and use it in the vaporizer) and one for cannabis (without any stench of tobacco in it).

If you're not offended by my tone or intrusion in your life making these suggestions, try the Wikiversity article [[1]] which includes various ways to make or get an anti-overdose, low-temperature-burning minitoke utensil-- more cannabinol, less carbon monoxide-- which is not as good as a vaporizer but almost as good.Tokerdesigner (talk) 02:23, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Dude man you need to realise what verifibility is. you constantly rant on how large bowls joints blunts etc burn hot and destroy the THC however according to yourself you have no proof your pulling this out of your ass. if you do have proof reference it. otherwise stop scaring people away from the many options for smoking weed and recklesly promoting your PREFERENCE.

In various rants which you can find under User:tokerdesigner, I have been making the point that verification is hard to find because Big Tobackgo has ways to retaliate against any researchers with real lab equipment who take on the job of discrediting hot-burning-overdose smoking devices (their profit margin depends on the 1500° F cigaret). I am preparing e-mails to John Holmes (U Vermont), Donald Tashkin (UCLA) and others and we'll see if they dare risk losing their funding, accreditation, tenure, etc. (You can google the above names to see what their angle on the smoking issue is.)

I would expect that if a 5/16th"-diameter cigaret, puffed on, burns at 1500° a blunt might be even hotter. You can look up the NORML/MAPS 2007 research on the Volcano Vaporizer and NORML exec. Director St.Pierre's endorsement, where they make the point that the low-temperature vaporizer saves THC.

Taking you at your word that you don't intend to smoke cigarets, it is generally said that cigar smokers "don't inhale" whereas the point of a blunt is to inhale, to get the cannabinol, and you are inhaling some nicotine from the cigar leaf.

Concerning the Hot box, I have added a paragraph on Breathbonnet (Cannabis smoking)which is a cheap handy portable Hot box in its way. My own experience (they'll get me for Original Research) is that you can breathe your own warm breath for a couple of minutes or more with perfect safety. In fact, the CO2 is good for the windpipe linings and makes it possible to do more tokes.

$$$-- if you did a $25 quarter ounce every week that's $1300 a year so it seems to me you can afford a vaporizer. (When I get access to a scanner I will submit a diagram of a home-made vaporizer system to the Cannabis smoking article and failing that to my talk page.) You could certainly use a vaporizer in the hot box as you describe it and say goodbye to carbon monoxide.

I don't really believe in the theory of "tolerance" for cannabis but that may depend on the individual. My testimony is that your "Miracle-wonder" superprophetic batteries are recharged in 47 hours (that's Superprophetic for about two days) just like orgasm. Meanwhile, when I have herb, I don't hesitate to toke every day, especially about 5:55 a.m. (overnight is an adequate recharge) and rarely more than ten single tokes per 2 days. That would be 1826 x 25-mg. single tokes a year, or about 2 ounces after 16-mesh screening-- about $500-600. We're both beating a pack-a-day hot-burning-overdose nicotine slave, $2000/yr. in high-tax states.

If the above bugs you, you have permission to erase it as I have recently learned how to use the "Copy" and "Paste" edit functions and have saved this semi-anonymous essay for my own future reuse.Tokerdesigner (talk) 00:30, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
