Salutations,

Before my switch to (and customization of) VaporGenie's Classic/Bronze Sherlock pipes there's been a brief period experimenting with on-demand moisturizing of the cannabic "fumet". Initially it was done with ultrasonic Mist Marker modules just as those in domestic hudimifiers. Preliminary "conditioning" confirmed excellent potential thanks to my efforts about ajustment of the moisturized air amount involved.

The trigger was annoying coughs, it worked so well i understood i'd have to evaluate the VaporGenie suite next, because clean combustion of butane produces H2O besides CO2...

All of my challenges were meant to invite « Independant Duplication », this case wasn't different so it had to depend on a relatively easy hack of some ready-made product; a low-cost device generating cold fog seemed appropriate as i got lucky enough to locate one on-shelf brand/model in my local neighbourhood that came with a circular opening featured with some handle under the cap, the best part of it being that it matched the 105 mm (dia.) body of an ordinary soft dring bottle:


All i needed to do was to cut it correctly, make a few holes where to pass aquarium (food-safe) PVC tubes, create a sliding mixer shutter and voilà:


Below that's my final cannabic path once i assembled it:


Pay special attention to its "U" shaped section and the tiny bottom hole in particular. As for the succession of smaller PVC tubing sections it promoted turbulence until the cannabis vapour came out. Here's a close up on my fine-tuned on-demand moisture injector:


The way it works is no rocket science really. At first the moist air condensates into a water droplet which gravity keeps on top of the injection hole while surface tension won't let it fall through... This is nearly ideal because moisturized air must not enter the cannabic path between inhalations, as a bonus the amount gets dosed in some approximative manner.

Each puff got greatly enhanced, which simply cured my cough issues. In short it was an exquisite progress!



In addition, the « FogBong! » could accomodate balloons or other contraptions. Notice its red copper wire acting as a mounting hook keeping this all firmly together:


And talking about multiple scenarios:


There was a choice of direct, indirect and/or bags. Using my HerbalAire i could connect a modified 2-speeds air pump (#1/#2), with its balloon attached (#3/#4) during the 2~3 minutes of filling process. Direct inhalation was a little trickier (#3/#5) as it required some unidirectional valve (#5/#6) made of a basic water bubbler, then the bag option depended on which exact setup it was (#6/#7 or #4/#7). Ultimately a moistured conditioned fumet showed up at the exit (#8) which allowed me to decide what suited me best.

The year after i started to attempt customization of a VaporGenie pipe that could fit in as little as 11 cm (Large) x 9 cm (Wide) x 4 cm (Deep). Quite obviously the FogBong! system wouldn't be portable at all, so that's why it stood on the table of my Shawinigan-days veranda a long while:


By the way, having an anti-return vase plugged in also restricted air movement in the tubing and hence kept moisture away from the vaporizer oven, an important detail for a slow/steady scenario where oven cooling is a critical preoccupation... But the fog source doesn't have to be huge, a Mist Maker module in a glass bottle will do fine, especially for disposable bags:


One other bonus from those modules was the cavitation sound combined with LEDs offering a nice trippy light-show watching the multicolour fog moving at night:


Oh my! Do i miss those rememberances of pure bliss!

So, at the end i expressed the whole story via this visual form, as a simplified symbolic representation:


All the essentials are there, put in a conceptual form, to act as a reminder in case some brave(s) could be tempted to evaluate its benefits.

Good day, have fun!!
