    That’s actually a vaporizer, this dude is one of the fathers of modern vaping, like Bob Snodgrass is the father of modern borosilicate glass bongs.

    His name is Evert, he invented a glass heater for vaping weed called the Verdamper.

      More like one of the sons of modern vaping. The steam chalice predates his experiments by a few decades, and this bong looks like a direct derivative.

        That’s fair, steam chalice became popular back in the 70’s. I’m splitting hairs by defining modern as an electronic device whose design was copied in essence by all future makers. The steam chalice was in every stoners head back then and informed a lot of innovation.
