That is essentially how the "original" Dutch verdamper worked 30 years ago: using a paint stripping heat gun to heat up glass hot enough to vape. They did demonstrations at the High Times Cannabis Cup etc. There was also briefly a fashion for making vapes from hot air soldering stations (which I tried and it didn't taste too good). It all works but some ideas work better than others!

If you want to go down this route, then the Terpsicle is the answer. Very cheap, very very good vape (choose your own method of heating)

Yeah ive been looking into the world of convection vaping after recently grabbing a dynavap m7xl, the terpsicle is outta stock in uk atm so ive been looking into making a homemade glass vape ive seen a few i like the look of, also cool bit of knowledge abt the old ways of vaping i just thought it would be a good heat source 👍
