in·spi·ra·tor (ĭn'spə-rā'tər) n.

  1. A device, such as a respirator or inhaler, by which a gas, vapor, or air is drawn in.
  2. One who inspires or motivates others.

[From Late Latin, from inspirare 'to inspire' (from in- + spirare 'to breathe') + -tor; cognate with, and possibly derived via, English or German]


The Inspirator mkII is considered by its designer to be the criterion of efficiency for vaporizing spice, and to be a cheap and effective method of achieving sufficiently cool, full, measured doses. The device is inspired in part by The Machine but operates by convection heating--diffusing the heat through a ceramic heat-sink, in turn heating the airflow--rather than heating by conduction. This design was the final evolution of The Mini-Machine Bubbler Stem and the original version of The Inspirator.

Equipment:

  • Glass Dropper Stem (either from a pharmacy OTC or an online vendor)
  • Glass Dropper Bottle (for cleaning and preserving the piece)
  • Ceramic Fiber (optional but preferable, in any form)
  • 1 Round Metal Screen or Faucet Aerator (as long as the metal doesn't burn or melt with the use of a butane torch)
  • Chopsticks (preferably the cheap, skewer-type)
  • Rubber Gasket and/or Rolled Up Latex Tubing
  • Tubing of Same Diameter as Dropper Stem (a broken dropper, as pictured, though a sturdier material is preferable)

Special Thanks
  • To Warrensaged for pioneering the use of a machine-style bowl with a bubbler.[2]
  • To q21q21 and Bumber for inspiring the development of the progenitor of this method.[3]
  • To OpeningPandorasBox for "The Key," which helped to inspire the development of this device.[4][5]
