Default Airtight sealant - bongs/pipes/vapes

I made a lightbulb vape and it is nice looking but I need a seal for the straw->cap connection. Would melting candlewax on it work?

Yes and so would Bluetac.

I don't see why it wouldn't... though eventually you should look into getting a glass tube (like the ones they use in pet stores / feeding tubes). A glue gun would be ideal too.

.peace.

I also have this tube of Kwik Seal kitchen and bath adhesive caulk. But it says the vapors are harmful if inhaled. If this is on the outside of the bulb it shouldn't matter though, right?

thanks peoples.

That refers to the solvents that make it pliable. They all evaporate off as it dries, making it safe.

It also adds to the high.

Ok sorry for the double post, but how do I dry out the inside of this bulb? (my last one broke on me, had to make a new one)

Bluetac works, and if you are lazy, cheap, or short on time, chewing gum will do in a pinch.

Yeah I had to wash it, I used salt to get the frost out, but little particles of random shit were in the bulb. I just boiled it off, that worked fine.

Instead of connecting a bottle cap to the lightbulb, but off the end of the waterbottle that the cap screws onto. Place it onto the top of the bulb and push it on a little bit. Then fill this is with a hot glue gun or something. Now you can unscrew the part with the straw so its very easy to reload and clean! ingenuity at its best.

thats awesome and all, but you do know that the caps screw on to the bulb itself, right?

yeah but not airtight, at least for me. Does any vapor leak out for you?

Ever try silly putty? Obviously not the best, but works in a pinch, and is innocuous...

yeah it definitely doesn't screw on perfectly, i used the top of a bottle. Personally, I think these nigger rigged vapes suck dick though, I've never gotten very high off them, so fuck that.
