...yes, if you're careful with your hit smoke and blow it all out through a replacement cartridge for a respirator. Tape two together in series if you take really huge hits.
Back when me and my buddy were high school brats, we co-invented the 'Lectro, which was a prototype electric bong that utilized a small, bowl-shaped spiral of high-resistance wire to get the weed-bit to hittin temperature. Man, that thing was friggen awesome, huge hits off of little pieces of weed! It didn't work like a vaporizer, was more like an electric knife-hit.
The wire spiral thing was enclosed in an upside-down baby food jar or similar, and had the smoke-tube run from the lil jar through the lid, and down into a ny-quil bottle, which was the chamber and had some water in there too. To help explain better, you start to make one by J-B welding a baby food jar upside-down and offset a bit to the top of the nyquil bottle lid, and drilling a hole in both for the smoke tube. There was a momentary switch mounted on there somewhere too, and we used a transformer to get the low voltage and higher amps necessary to get the nichrome wire to near-redness.
So you'd pinch off a lil bit o weed, unscrew the small jar from the top, put it on the small wire-spiral thing, (squish!), and screw the jar back on. Hold the switch, wait for it, and within 5 or 6 seconds the lil piece would be pouring off smoke, filling the little jar. With the mouth-piece in, you'd clear the lil jar into the nyquil bottle, wait a sec for it to fill up again, clear it again (letting go of the switch around now), and let go of the nyquil carb and suck 'er down! Cougher every time. And off such a small piece! It really was an electric knife-hit bong.
Shit, i gotta make another one of those, they always had a way of dissappearing after a while.. we probably cleared about 7 of them, all lost to antiquity now.
