Machine-Style Bubbler Bowl

the Improvisation of the Bubbler Bowl Variation of "The Machine"

NOTE This variation can apply to the use of a small bubbler pipes, bong-style bubblers, or improvised bubblers, though smaller bubblers are often found most preferable. A Machine-Style Bubbler Bowl being loaded. Prepare a plug made of metal mesh by cutting a piece of an excess of the appropriate size to fit in the bowl. Stainless steel and copper of a coarse mesh are preferable, as they do not tend to burn at the temperatures needed for vaporization. Using pliers to hold the cutting, use a torch to thoroughly burn off any machine oil or coatings found on the mesh. Perform this step until no more smoke can be observed emanating from the cutting. Allow to cool and roll the cutting tight enough to fit in the bowl. The plug needs to be tight enough to suspend it in the opening but not so tight as to block air passage. NOTE The water in the bubbler acts only as a heat-sink and will not absorb a significant, if any, amount of product, as the freebase product is not very soluble in water; however, the use of ice in cooling should be forgone, as it may cause the premature precipitation of product within the chamber.

Notes on Administration:

• To load, simply place a measured dose directly on top of the plug and carefully melt into the plug by feathering with a flame or other heat source.
• Though a standard lighter will work for vaporizing if used carefully, a torch will ensure a fuller dose.
