Anyone else hears Electric Wizard when looking at this picture?
Literally Dopethrone
Picture taken by his friend Alexander “Sasha” Shulgin.
🎶"I was gonna do some research, but then I got high!"🎶
Woah. I grew up with school windows and radiators like that. Blast from the past.
You don’t understand man, it’s a healing herb.
I wonder how upset he was when he realized it wasn’t a bong
Looks like mercury arc rectifier
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.
But it is isn’t it? Heat gun burning the bud up top, glass stem down from there into the water, and he’s pulling in smoke.
Yep, it’s standard pharmacological research procedure after all.
One point: That heat gun, by Steinel, heats from 120F to 1050F. Source: I have one just like it. That’s not smoke, it’s vapor, I’d wager. Opaque white smoke would fill the area above the liquid if it were burning, but it looks pretty ‘see thru’. I think the temp is well below 454F.
Yes, he’s definitely taking a rip.
I can’t wait for figure 2

Obviously!
Mercury arc rectifier?
