DIY eCIG - BHO Toker.

[The Bedroom Gardener UK]

The first time I saw an e-cigarette I thought to myself "I'll be smoking weed out of that". I had a few quid to waste on equipment, and thought I'd try to make a decent e-cig BHO Toker. There's various methods out there for making this happen, but nothing fully documented. This will be my experiment thread, it may go tits-up, it may be a success, we will just have to see.

For those that don't know about e-cigs: (from wiki)

An electronic cigarette, also known as an e-cigarette, personal vaporiser or PV, is an electronic inhaler that vaporises a liquid solution into an aerosol mist, simulating the act of tobacco smoking. Electronic cigarettes are no longer marketed as smoking cessation aids or tobacco replacement in most countries. There may be similarities between conventional and some electronic cigarettes in the physical design and the nicotine release, which may approximate the same amount of nicotine as a conventional cigarette. There are many electronic cigarettes that do not resemble conventional cigarettes at all.

The benefits and risks of electronic cigarette use are uncertain among health organizations and researchers. Limited controlled studies are available due to its recent invention. Laws vary widely concerning the use and sale of electronic cigarettes and accompanying liquid solutions, with pending legislation and ongoing debate.

This is the one I have & some other equipment coming. At the moment I hope to use food grade Vegetable Glycerin & BHO as a combination, but this will change I'm sure.

More info soon...

I've done some research on this and actually tried a few things out...

Put some VG in a glass vile/bottle.
Take some BHO and throw it in the VG.
Heat the VG up (candle, lighter) and oscillate until the BHO and the VG are combined.

Here's the issue I have with it. Once the VG cools back down the BHO solidifies again and it doesn't work. I also loaded the ecig with the mixture while warm and it hit ok, but you'd have to vape the entire load quick enough for the juice not to cool down and become solid again. Not to mention the headache from freaking hot-boxing the ecig trying to catch a buzz.

Not trying to be a downer just thought I'd share my experience so you wouldn't have to waste time and or $$ or precious BHO even. I'd look into one of the concentrate vape pens out there that are made for it.

Good luck bro :smokebuds:

Nope, not a downer mate - experience speaks volumes. I have some various bits and pieces to try, bho only being one of the extracts to use. Hopefully I'll not do too badly.

There's a possibility of making a normal VG tincture, or combining a dry sift hash with the VG to see if it is easier. The problem as you say is keeping the fluid in a state where it is usable, and also where you get a decent hit. I'm not sure of the saturation point on VG, so I'll have to find that out first.

For excellent info on all this check out F**kCombustion.

Lots of great info on all vapes and techniques and modifications.
Lots of oil, wax vapes out there.

I hear the Persei has lots of good reviews!

In legal/medical states you can buy E-Juice with THC in it already but for some reason it hasn't caught on.

Alright Aunty, yes you are correct there is quite a growing trend on some of the UK forums for ecig toking. The bizarre thing (as robwars mentions below) is that a lot of the tech is developed and sold in the USA, but it hasn't caught on. I've recently found a website that sells a lot of the kit for the e-juice toking, and ships to the UK. I hoping that will do away with a lot of the conversion I was expecting.

Cheers lazylathe, I've had a vape look there before but never thought of them this time. I'll get over there to see what's up.

Indeed mate, I've managed to source a shop that will ship to the UK. I'm hoping a lot of conversion will not be necessary now.

See below for my current shopping list....

Ok, here we go with the kit pics. Hopefully this should be enough to give me a variety mixture choices.

An overall view of the all the products.

Some ecig flavours (if they are needed). I'l try a blank mixture first.

Some extra ecig tanks and a battery - for when I clog or screw up. These were bough from fleabay, only a couple of quid for the lot after looking around.

My original ecig pen. This one cost a little more, as I was pretty clueless at the time.

Some food glycerine. I bought a few different bottles of this, just to get the various sizes of bottles. If I have no great results in making a BHO or hash combination, then I will look into the various tincture methods.

I lovely 1.1g of BHO - Nothern Lights.

My first kit, with a dropper bottle, tester ecig, glycerine, BHO. In the main shot I have also bought a little usb coffee warmer, for heating the liquid. I also have a few pyrex dishes coming.
