Woah. I grew up with school windows and radiators like that. Blast from the past.

Was this right before the blast?

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.

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

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.

Yes, he’s definitely taking a rip.

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.

One rip off of that bad boy and he will be an astronaut
