How to Make a Vaporizer Light Bulb

Smoke inhalation of any kind can be a health hazard, but there is an alternative: vaporizing. Vaporizers convert material into vapor for inhalation with less harm than inhaling smoke. Several commercial-produced vaporizers are available on the market, but they can cost up to a $1,000 or more. Knowing how to make your own vaporizer out of a light bulb and a few household materials can be a cheap and easy way to start vaporizing.
