Despite our efforts to help ensure people are being safe these last few years, some people have been unhappy about that. Many unsafe posts are still being removed daily and some people complain in the comments when others point out that certain materials are unsafe. A new subreddit has been created for those that want to see/post the unsafe contraptions.

Introducing r/StonerDEGENgineering , a clone of r/StonerEngineering specifically for unsafe materials.

Feel free to post all of your plastic bottles, 10mm sockets, PVC pipes, glue, and pot metal contraptions there. Now that notice has been given, expect a BAN if you post them here.

Reminder that other subreddits were also made in an effort to move off-topic content (spam) away from our subreddit. These subreddits include r/BrokenBongs , r/fixmyvape , and r/CrackWire.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the Mod Team via the “Message Mods” button. Take care :)

Moderator's pick Alternative Subreddits: Filtering out the Spam

21 Upvotes

Hey everyone, hope you’re all having a great weekend! I wanted to remind everyone that we’ve been creating and promoting other subreddits in an attempt to divert the spam from our subreddit. These subreddits are r/BrokenBongs , r/fixmyvape , and now r/CrackWire . The purpose of these subreddits is to provide a space for people to post about their cracked/broken bongs, their vape that’s not working, or their ‘Crack Wire’ vape contraptions so that they stop posting them here at r/StonerEngineering. If you see a post that would fit one of these subreddits please link the poster to the appropriate subreddit via a comment, then report the post so the StonerEngineering Mod team can remove it as spam. If you see any other posts that are unsafe or spam, please report those as well. Thank you, cheers!

Prototype A Glass Cleaning System

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

So the idea is super simple; they are currently closing up wave 1 of the BETA and some are already in production, so while its not technically a Prototype the idea is still being refined day to day.

Its a simple idea; high quality platinum silicone insert into a supplied glass ball jar, and a platinum silicone bump lid. You put your pipe in, add the cleaning solution and salt/abrasive/agitator, close the lid and shake as hard as you want as long as you want, easy drain and rinse. It takes what most people do and refines it vs using plastic sandwich bags or whatever Mcguyver style system we all came up with.

I'd appreciate ideas, questions and thoughts assuming they are in good faith. Different colors, custom glass and the extra cap are ideas that were implemented or will be implemented because people like you suggested it. Its made by stoners, for stoners. This isn't some tech bro who held a focus group. It's literally made by a disabled toker who got tired of the hassle and made something he uses himself.

hi !! i was wondering if anybody has seen these huge ass like body sized carts before. They usually appear in like brand videos or just like some randoms trying to be funny in a public setting but i lowkey like actually want one for parties and shit. i figure it’s obviously just a cart holder because i always see the mini one on top, but i love how huge it actually looks. i was wondering if there is anywhere that sells them, makes them ? like i said it would be lovely to have one just to have. i also figure they’re probs like 3d printed. i understand how dumb this all sound but pics below to show im not crazy. LMK !! 😛

OG Chillum QCC Vape

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

15 Upvotes

OG Chillum is holding up well after a week of testing. I’m getting really crappy airflow though. It’s clean, just not made to move vapor quickly, I guess. Ironically, using the straw method for a loose pack is resulting in scooby snacks. So maybe the choke point is a little constricted… but it chucks clouds like a boss. Mad flavor. Hard to beat this doodad for value when it comes to delish flavor. I am officially not loving the tight vapor path, but that focused heat is really thickening up the vapor, so it’s a trade off, I guess.

Would I buy the stuff to make this from scratch? Nope. I’d get a Terpcicle or Quartz Cap, even though it’d be about 4x the price. I mean, if I had even ONE of the components to build this OG Chillum rig, I’d do it. I had every part already, so yeah, easy build for me. But it’s worth it if it’s under $20, and I think I calculated this guy at $30 or so, build from scratch. That’s hella inexpensive and it’s hard to deny that it’s a fun toy. Just not the airflow I like to make it a daily driver or personal fav, especially since I have all glass options that I DO love.

I will keep trying different techniques on it, but this looks like it’ll always be a bit constricted and therefore, not my fav. Very cool toy though.

Prototype Homemade ball vape from heat gun, quartz banger cap, and quartz terp pearls

Thumbnail

29 Upvotes

I bought the wireless one hit wonder online but while waiting for it to come in I wanted to get an idea of how it would work in concept.

I had accidentally gotten quartz caps for my banger which were too big and had been sitting on them. I also had some quartz terp pearls around too and I found they were small enough to sit inside the cap.

I also had a heat gun, these things get hot enough to melt solder or low enough to barely heat adhesives, and I've even reclaimed oil out of a cart with it while preserving the terpenes. I felt it was capable of heating to the same temps as a ball vape. I have a dial for the heat settings and from using it for a few applications I started it by setting it to 7 on the low fan speed for heating. 4 melts wax pretty easy so I imagine 5 would be good for concentrates but herb usually needs a bit higher of a temp so that's where I settled on 7.

I used the larger attachment to hold the smaller attachment inverted for the heat gun so I had an adapter type piece to hold the cap when heating. It also would help with getting good heat transfer while the quartz cap and pearls are both good at retaining it.

I let it heat for around 1.5-2 minutes and then used a pair of thicker tweezers as mini-tongs so I didn't touch anything hot.

I put the flat bottom of the cap(with airholes on mine) on the top of my bowl and pulled, within a few seconds I was building up a decent cloud with great taste, pretty comparable to other dry herb vapes but with a bit of a thicker cloud buildup in a bong.

I was impressed by how well this worked just as a test of how it works in theory and am excited to try a proper setup. But if you want to try ball vaping you can probably make something like what I did for pretty cheap, and likely even make one better than I did

Just got of a 2 month tolerance break so I haven’t used this in a while. When I put my cart in and tried to hit it the thing was flashing like there’s no cart inside. When I pulled it out my cart was all sticky and I look in the hole and it looked like this.

Safety's On Ridiculous Bong Friday: Least practical bong

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

129 Upvotes

Hello, fellow stoners. Friday means two things: the weekend is here, and I have another fucked up bong contraption. 🤪

This week I looked at the two small pieces in the vid and decided they needed to be suspended or elevated.

I added a stand and a splitter as the base. Upside down bongs can't hold water, so I added an ash catcher.

I still needed a place for the bowl/vape. A 45° and a 90° adapter solved that problem.

The build was rather tippy and I didn't want to put the weight of a coil on it. So using a torched Terpcicle was the obvious choice of vape.

The test was a milky success! 💨☁️☁️

I hope you have a pleasantly stoned day and a fantastic weekend.

Happy tokes. ✌️
