I wonder how upset he was when he realized it wasn't a bong

That's actually a vaporizer, this dude is one of the fathers of modern vaping, like Bob Snodgrass is the father of modern borosilicate glass bongs.

His name is Evert, he invented a glass heater for vaping weed called the Verdamper.

But it is isn't it? Heat gun burning the bud up top, glass stem down from there into the water, and he's pulling in smoke.

One point: That heat gun, by Steinel, heats from 120F to 1050F. Source: I have one just like it. That's not smoke, it's vapor, I'd wager. Opaque white smoke would fill the area above the liquid if it were burning, but it looks pretty 'see thru'. I think the temp is well below 454F.

Yes, he's definitely taking a rip.

Yep, it's standard pharmacological research procedure after all.

You don't understand man, it's a healing herb.

Woah. I grew up with school windows and radiators like that. Blast from the past.

Was this right before the blast?

I still feel the aftershocks up here *taps head* and down there *taps crotch*

I didn't submit my thesis, and I know why

One rip off of that bad boy and he will be an astronaut

Anyone else hears Electric Wizard when looking at this picture?
