The mesh acts both as a screen and a heat-sink, simultaneously allowing for the even heating of the product and prevention from inhaling unvaporized particulates. | "The Machine" is essentially a glass vaporizer in which heat is meant to distribute through the pipe rather than across the glass.

"The Machine"
"The Machine" is essentially a glass vaporizer in which heat is meant to distribute through the pipe rather than across the glass. It utilizes a metal mesh plug inside of the pipe, on which the product is to be placed, melted and vaporized. The mesh acts both as a screen and a heat-sink, simultaneously allowing for the even heating of the product and prevention from inhaling unvaporized particulates.
This method of vaporization includes the standard variations—which are essentially the simple combination of a vaporizing bowl and a vapor chamber with an inhalation nozzle—and the bubbler variation in which the vapor passes through a water heat-sink before reaching the vapor chamber and inhalation nozzle.
Material Considerations:
- Copper may gradually turn black due to the formation of Copper(II) oxide (CuO). This reaction and its product are not detrimental to the process of administration.
