Wow! That lighter is excessively cool! I don't have $150 for a friggin' lighter, but what a neat idea - and I bet it's well worth it if only not to be inhaling all that butane (for which reason I prefer using wood sticks for ignition, but one still gets carbon in the gas.) If they get the price down, this is a very smart solution - and if you can afford it, this ought to be commonly used as a solution to all those benzene rings we inhale with the butane. But thanks for the hint. It ought to be easy to use the phedor lighter as the base for mocking up something just to see if this is a worthwhile idea to pursue.
The vaporizers the Phedor websight shows have the classic shortcomings (at least as I see it) to others I've seen and used. The idea is good - to improve our health by eliminating excessive heat and the resulting, and unnecessary, particulates. But the mess, the expense, the grinding up of the pot which wastes some THC, the storage medium which wastes much more.
But the search goes on, puff by puff. Soldier on, fellow potheads!!!
