Do you think this would work?

I just had an idea. Do you guys think that the smoke from a cigarette is hot enough to vaporize honey oil diluted with ethanol and injected into the filter? I'm not really sure if this would work, and I can't really test it since I don't usually smoke (tobacco) and don't have any cigs, but thought it might be a good stealth method for smoking in public. If you guys think it would work, i might grab some smokes and try it. Any thoughts?

you can smear honey oil on the outside of a cig but it sucks... the cig has a monster runner usually.

i think if the smoke reached that temp, lipburns would not be nonexistant with cigsmokers (well, if they smoke it in the usual way anyway)

OK, so I was pretty high when i thought up this thread, but I think I've thought of a pretty good way to test this without the possibility of wasting good BHO. I think what I'll do is bum a cigarette off someone and then rig the filter with a thermocouple which should tell me pretty quick how hot the smoke passing through the filter is. I'll report back. I've smeared oil on the outside before and that works, but dipping a straight pin into it and pushing it in the center of the cig works much better IMO (works even better if you make a little tunnel with the pin first before adding the honey oil). I think what I was trying to do was figure a out a way to not burn up valuable BHO while the cig is burning but not being smoked, and have it not look like a cigarette smeared with oil.

Also, I think a possible explanation for the no lip burns is that if you look at the filter of a smoked cigarette, you can see like 75% of the smoke (and heat) passed through the center of the filter (evidenced by staining) and the 1.5mm or so around the outside is relatively clean the cellulose acetate acting as an insulator.

Last night I finally got around to testing this. Using a thermocouple attached to a Craftsman multimeter and a Nat Sherman Classic cigarette, I stoked it as hot as I could and I couldn't get the temp in the filter above 141 deg. F. Well that answers that. I suppose the insertion of the probe could've messed with the results (maybe by blocking airflow due to the filter being compressed around it) but I 'm pretty sure even I did it some other way the results would be the same. - Dr.Nick

Yea, I was just about to say.. the cherry of a cig doesnt get that hot, I was gunna say maybe 150F at most... in order to vape, dont you need something like 350F - 450F or something crazy like that?
