All one needs is a crack pipe and a decent lighter\blow torch.No brainer really.

yeh thanks for that we thinking bit more like a volcao replica not a crack pipe

to recap , this is now how me and water going todo it

# temperature adjustable heat gun

# 2" diameter 3" long stainless steel pipe coupling (get creative to find what works)

# 2" into 1 1/2" pipe reducer

# Brass garden hose quick connect set (no plastic)

# Large clear bags (turkey oven bags work well)

# Screw adjustable hose clamp

# Leather wrapping such as tennis racket wrap

# Fine mesh screen, non painted

#

Wrap three layers of duct tape (smoothly) around both pipes, leaving the wider end of the 2" to 1 1/2" reducer bare. Wrap leather tennis grip around ducted taped areas. The duct tape makes a great heat wrap, and it will get hot.

Connect 2" Pipe coupling to 2" to 1 1/2" reducer.

* The idea is to allow this combination to rest on the tip of the heat gun with an additional two inches of space for heat reduction. If using a heat gun that is only adjustable to 450F (ACE hardware Digital Heat Gun, $35.99) this space is necessary to prevent unwanted burning.

#

Step 2

Wrap open end of the bag around the end of the open/close valve and clamp off with either duct tape or a screw adjustable hose clamp (suggested).

If getting the bag evenly tightened around the valve is killing you, try tying two ends of the opening in knots with a small opening for the valve. Clamp down and cut off the excess plastic. Tape with duct tape if desired for a better seal.

*You want to be able to change out the bag easily, as it will eventually get dirty on the inside. Keep this in mind when attaching.

#

Step 3

Connect male quick disconnect end to bag assembly.

*Any pieces containing soft rubber are not advised. The airway will be heated to 450F and may release toxins from rubbers.

#

Step 4

Cut out two circles of wire mesh slightly larger than the narrow end of the pipe assembly. This will be where you place your desired herb. Form both into a shallow bowl and stack on top of each other with your herb in the middle.

Ensure both screens stay pressed against each other to prevent the contents from blowing around or breaking up into the bag during heating. Slide the mesh bowl 1/2" into the narrow end of the pipe assembly.

The placement of the screen is essential. Through trial and error you will get placement down to a science. Remember, close enough to turn the leaves a dark brown, not black. If it burns, it's too close.

*Tea strainers offer the best screens for the job. Using a little imagination and the right kind of screen strainer you can make a bowl that will last you months.

this is for the green holding chamber and bag and mouth piece and can be used like this straight from the heat gun we going a step further and trying to make it digital and temp regulated

NEXT

we will take the inside from the heat gun , change the trigger for a on off switch and hopefully change the guns controller to the vairic ( water says summit bout hardwiring ) i call this nerd talk but he good at that all wiring is down to him , look at it like he the brains im the buety

then we will go about mounting all this to the reducer , with the variac and on off switch mounted on the outside of the reducer , (more nerd talk) water says he going to earth the ruducer too

we will be adding a high temp probe into the chamber to on a small digi screen mounted on the outside , so we can get the temp nailed in

pics will be coming up soon as we have all the little bits needed

if this works everyone can have a volcano for about 50 quid
