HOW TO MAKE A WEED VAPORIZER AT HOME
by JARS | December 11, 2024
Creating a homemade weed vaporizer requires technical expertise and safety precautions due to the involvement of electrical components and heating elements. It's strongly advised to prioritize safety and purchase a professionally manufactured vaporizer to ensure proper functionality and avoid any potential risks associated with DIY alternatives.
Vaping has quickly become one of the most popular ways to smoke cannabis. When you use a vaporizer, the smoke is silky smooth, ultra-flavorful, and potent AF. Once you become a vape fan, it can be difficult to smoke any other kind of way—so what do you do when you don’t have a vaporizer? Simple. Make a weed vaporizer yourself with a few household items. In this article, we’ll discuss the basics of vaping and two ways to make one yourself with items you likely already have. Simply put, vaping is just another way to smoke weed, but without burning your bud. Instead, vaping involves heating cannabis either in its natural flower state or in concentrate form to temperatures right below its combustion point. This light toasting of the weed rather than burning produces a thick, smooth vapor which you then inhale. Many people love vaping because they say it can be a more convenient and discreet way to smoke. Vape pens, for example, are slim and easy to carry around, they fit in nearly any bag, and are a great way of consuming cannabis on the go. Vape pens are also simple to use. All you need to do is press a button to activate the atomizer or in some cases, simply inhale. When you vape, you are also creating vapor rather than smoke since you are not actually burning the weed. This vapor often produces stronger flavors and less unwanted odors in addition to avoiding the harmful effects of inhaling actual cannabis smoke into your lungs. However, there are of course some negatives to vaping. First, the initial cost of purchasing your vaping device can be quite high depending on what features you are looking for. There are also some concerns about the safety of vaping, particularly when talking about pre-filled vape pens made by illegal manufacturers—so be sure to source any store-bought vapes at licensed facilities like JARS. That being said, if vaping is your thing or you are curious about vaping at home, they are surprisingly simple to make yourself when you are in a pinch. Simply choose one of these two methods, and you will be on your way to weed vapor heaven. Perhaps the easiest and most primitive method, this cardboard box method will have you vaping in no time. Let’s gather your tools and get to work. What You Need: A small box A small tea candle that fits inside the box A small metal tray that can rest on top of the box, possibly the lid from a candle or the top to a tin of hand cream A glass big enough to cover the metal tray A small rubber tube or bendy straw Instructions: Now that you have what you need, go ahead and place the candle inside the box. Make sure it is spaced in the middle of the box to avoid catching anything on fire and light the candle. Place the metal tray over the flame, resting on the edges of the box. Try to keep the flame low enough so that it does not scorch the bottom of the tray too badly. Put either your buds or concentrate on the tray. Place the glass over the tin. Find a decent-sized glass that is big enough to fit over your tin yet small enough to rest on the edges of your box. Wait patiently for the glass to fill with vapor. Once the glass is thick with vapor, slide your tube or straw up into the glass and inhale—that’s it! This technique requires a bit more finesse and effort than its cardboard counterpart, so please exercise caution and be careful. While this tool is designed to get you high, it might not be the best idea to make this while high. Now that the safety warning is out of the way, let’s do this. What You Need: A lightbulb A plastic straw A plastic soda bottle, 12 oz A knife or scissors A pen Some tape or glue Instructions: Carefully cut two holes into the bottle cap, and put the straw through one of them. You need to make sure that these holes are as airtight as possible, so fix any wiggle room with a little tape or glue. Leave the other hole open. Cut off the neck of the bottle using your scissors. Leave yourself at least 3 or 4 inches from the neck of the bottle. You will end up using this to attach to the light bulb, which will act as the vaporization chamber. This is where things get a little tricky. You will need a sharp knife to carefully work around the "screw-in" end of the light bulb to remove the entire bottom of the lightbulb. Usually, the groove used to screw in the bulb is a good place to cut. Be very careful with this step. When you've removed the end, you might need to pull the rest of the metal off using pliers. It's a soft metal and should tear easily. When you've removed the metal, extract the filament and interior components of the lightbulb, leaving you with an empty glass chamber. Tape or glue the cut bottleneck to the hole in the bulb. The two should fit almost perfectly together as a typical 12-ounce soda bottle and a regular household lightbulb should typically have about the same size of the stem. Fix them together with duct tape or masking tape so that they create an airtight seal. Next, fill the lightbulb with weed and screw the holed bottle cap onto the bottle end. The more finely ground up the weed, the easier it will be to heat up in the end. Check for any air holes and add some tape or a dab of glue if necessary. All that’s left is to smoke. Gently heat up the lightbulb until it begins to fill with vapor. Inhale and enjoy. Overall, vaping weed can be a flavorful and smooth way to enjoy your favorite herb—and you can even make one at home in a pinch with this step-by-step guide. Although, these at-home vaporizer methods are meant to be a temporary solution to be used only when in dire straits. If you love vaping, it is worth the money to invest in a long-term solution that works for you.

Green Muse: How A Plant Has Inspired Creatives for Generations
Welcome to JARS Cannabis, where we're all about discovering your highest self! Today, we're diving deep into the dank world of cannabis culture and how it's inspired some of the most legendary creatives of all time.
From Bob Marley to Snoop Dogg, we're talking about the masters who've used the green stuff to get their creative juices flowing. But we're not just looking to the past – we're here to explore how weed is shaping the art world of today and tomorrow. So pack a bowl, light it up, and get ready to take a trip through the groovy world of cannabis-inspired art. This is gonna be one high you won't forget!
Cannabis as a Muse for Creatives Throughout History
Cannabis has been a fixture in the creative world for centuries. The ancient Greeks were known to use cannabis to inspire their poetry and art, and the Romantic poets of the 19th century were also fans of the plant. It was believed that Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote his famous poem "Kubla Khan" under the influence of opium, which he used to combat his chronic pain. However, some literary critics speculate that cannabis could have been the real culprit behind his inspiration.
Famous Writers and Artists Who Used Cannabis for Inspiration
Now onto the beatniks of the 1950s and 60s. This group of artists and writers was known for their drug experimentation and rejection of societal norms. Many of the beatniks were fond of cannabis, and it's said that the infamous beatnik author, Jack Kerouac, wrote his most famous work, "On the Road," while high. We can't confirm or deny this, but we know that cannabis has been used as a tool for creative inspiration for a long time.
Musicians Who Turned to Cannabis to Get Their Creative Juices Flowing
But it's not just writers who have turned to weed for inspiration. Musicians have also been known to use cannabis to get their creative juices flowing. Jazz legend, Louis Armstrong, was a massive fan of the plant, and he once said, "It makes you feel good, man."
Bob Marley is another musician who famously loved cannabis. He's said to have smoked a pound of weed per week! And of course, we can't forget about the Beatles. Their song "Got to Get You into My Life" is believed to be a tribute to their love of cannabis.
Everyday People Inspired by Cannabis to Create Art
Cannabis has long been associated with inspiring creativity, and many artists have used the plant to unlock their imaginations. While some of our dispensary walls showcase local artwork created by artists inspired by their cannabis experiences, there are also notable artists across the US who are known to use or be inspired by the plant in their creative process. From Pablo Picasso to Vincent Gordon, these artists have created stunning works that showcase the plant's ability to enhance creativity.
How Cannabis Enhances Creativity and Focus
So, how does cannabis inspire creativity? Well, the THC in the plant can help to lower inhibitions and allow for freer thinking. It can also help to enhance sensory experiences, making things like music and art more vibrant and exciting. And let's remember the way it can help with focus and concentration. Many people find that cannabis allows them to enter a flow state where they can focus intently on their creative pursuits without getting distracted.
Finding the Right Cannabis Strain for Your Creative Goals
So, how can you tap into your creative potential with cannabis? Well, the first step is to find the right strain. Different strains of cannabis can have other effects, so choosing one that will help you achieve your creative goals is essential. For example, a strain like Blue Dream might be a good choice if you want to relax and get in the zone. If you're looking for a burst of energy and creativity, a strain like Sour Diesel might be more up your alley.
Setting the Mood for a Productive and Creative Session with Cannabis
Once you've found the right strain, setting the mood is important. Whether you prefer to work in silence or with music playing, create an environment that will help you focus and get into a creative mindset. And, of course, make sure you have plenty of snacks for when the munchies strike!

The Edible Effect
Welcome, fellow cannabis connoisseurs! Today, we're embarking on a wild journey into the world of edible highs. If you've ever wondered what the fuss is about with THC-infused treats, then get ready to unlock all secrets of the edible effect because JARS is here to enlighten and entertain. Grab a snack (non-infused, for now), and let's dive in!
The Edible Effect: Decoding the Differences of an Edible High - A Guide by JARS Cannabis
Unraveling the Mysteries of the Munchies – One Bite at a Time
Welcome, fellow cannabis connoisseurs! Today, we're embarking on a wild journey into the world of edible highs. If you've ever wondered what the fuss is about with THC-infused treats, then get ready to unlock all secrets of the edible effect because JARS is here to enlighten and entertain. Grab a snack (non-infused, for now), and let's dive in!
Why Edibles Pack a Punch
First, let’s talk about why consuming cannabis in edible form creates a different experience than smoking or vaping. When you munch on a THC-infused brownie, your body processes the cannabinoids through the digestive system, slowly releasing THC into your bloodstream. With inhalation, the THC rapidly enters your system, creating a faster, more intense high.
So, in short: edibles are like a slow-cooked pot roast, while smoking is like a quick-sear steak. Both are delicious, but each offers a unique experience.
The Liver Factor
Did you know that the liver is critical to the edible effect? When you consume cannabis-infused edibles, your liver transforms the THC into 11-hydroxy-THC – a more potent, longer-lasting version of its cousin, delta-9-THC. This chemical transformation contributes to the intensity and longevity of an edible high. Who knew that our livers were such skilled cannabis chefs?
The Sneaky Onset of the Edible Effect
We've all heard those cautionary tales of unsuspecting users gobbling down a whole batch of THC-infused cookies only to find themselves orbiting Jupiter hours later. What gives? Well, my friends, this is due to the slow onset of edibles. The effects can take 30 minutes to 2 hours for the results to kick in. And when they do, oh boy, strap in for a ride!
This delayed reaction often leads to having one too many, – and, consequently, a particularly "stellar" adventure.
Remember: patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to edibles. So start low, go slow, and listen to JARS Budtenders – we're here to ensure your experience is one that is both safe and enjoyable..
Edible Highs – A Body-Centered Experience
So, what sets an edible high apart from other forms of cannabis consumption? Well, to start, it's a more body-centered experience. Users often describe an edible high as a warm, enveloping sensation that spreads from head to toe, making it ideal for relaxation and stress relief. It's not uncommon for edible aficionados to feel as if they've been swaddled in a cozy, THC-infused blanket. Sounds delightful, right? Just remember to keep an eye on the dosage – we don't want that blanket turning into a restrictive suit!
Duration of the Edible Effect – Going the Distance
Edibles have your back if you're in it for the long haul. Depending on individual metabolism, dosage, and tolerance, the edible effect can typically last anywhere between 4 to 8 hours. This vast experience makes edibles popular for those looking to manage chronic pain or enjoy a leisurely journey through the cannabis cosmos.
So, if you're planning an evening of Netflix and chill (emphasis on the chill part), why not swing by JARS to pick up a tasty THC treat?
Edibles – A World of Flavors and Options
At JARS Cannabis, the world of edibles offers an incredible variety of flavors and options to satisfy every palate. From gummies and chocolates to beverages and baked goods, there's an edible for everyone, whether you're craving something sweet, savory, or gluten-free.
But it's important to note that edibles aren't just about getting high. While THC-infused edibles may provide a psychoactive experience, CBD-infused edibles have become increasingly popular for those seeking relief or looking to improve their sleep without intoxication.
At JARS Cannabis, we offer a diverse selection of CBD edibles, so you can experience the soothing benefits of CBD without worrying about meeting any celestial beings along the way. Indulge your taste buds while exploring the fascinating world of edibles, which now includes non-intoxicating options.
Embarking on Your Edible Adventure with JARS Cannabis
Now that we've decoded the delightful mysteries of the edible effect, you're ready to embark on your munch-worthy marijuana adventure. From a gentle, body-centered high to an extended journey through cannabis-infused relaxation, edibles offer a unique experience perfect for newbies and seasoned consumers alike.
Ready to take the plunge? Visit JARS Cannabis to explore our extensive menu of THC and CBD edibles, and don't hesitate to ask our knowledgeable staff for guidance on finding the perfect treat to suit your needs. And remember: start low, go slow, and enjoy the ride!
