 ====== Constructing the Bowl ======
 The plug for the bowl may be constructed in much the same manner as the heating element, but without the ceramic, rolling two screens together for the core instead.  The plug should be inserted, shell first, into the stem a centimeter or so from the opening to provide space to load the vaporizing agent and protect it from overheating by keeping distance from the element.  The plug will provide a bottom for the bowl, into which the agent may be melted and prepped for inspiration.
 Gaskets are then installed using the sort commonly found for use in plumbing, or else made from rolled up sections latex tubing.  The gaskets must serve two purposes:  A cool grip for carbing (if using pull-stem) and most importantly, a seal for the bubbler.  These will be removed along with the element when in storage if using a dropper bottle as recommended, so a separate container for those would be ideal.

	[[The Inspirator mkII]] is considered by its designer to be the criterion of efficiency for vaporizing [[spice]], and to be a cheap and effective method of achieving sufficiently cool, full, measured doses. The device is inspired in part by [[The Machine]] but operates by convection heating--diffusing the heat through a ceramic heat-sink, in turn heating the airflow--rather than heating by conduction. This design was the final evolution of [[The Mini-Machine Bubbler Stem]] and the original version of [[The Inspirator]].

	This particular model of [[the Inspirator]] utilizes a removable heating element to enable [[spice]] to be loaded into the top-side of the bowl, preventing the occurrence of run-off or drip. The position of the element in relation to the plug also helps prevent overheating or burning by ~~convection~~, while the element itself serves to protect from exposure to the flame.

	To form the Element into a single unit that will fit snugly into the the bowl, use a tube of the same diameter as the dropper stem to be used and two chopsticks to press it into shape. A broken dropper stem is pictured, but something sturdier and less hazardous would be ideal--like a pen tube or pipe. The element could also be rolled around between fingertips to help reduce the springiness it may have when attempting to insert into the end of the bowl or dropper stem. It should fit snugly without slipping in or springing out.

	The only way to properly vaporize--avoiding combustion or overheating--from changa, enhanced leaf, a leaf-bed or even straight spice, for that matter, is to position the plug so that the material to be vaporized is a safe distance from the heating element. Volatiles (pure actives, typically) should usually be at least 0.5cm, while combustibles (enhanced leaf or some impure actives) should be positioned more than 1cm from the heating element. In some cases, drippage or runoff may occur; in such cases, it can be retrieved by simply plunging the plug all the way down to the tip, then back up into place.

			'''Tips and Tricks:'''
			:* Keep a kit of spare parts and extra devices handy: Not only is it quite possible to break a device or lose any of the smaller parts of this design, but it would be handy to have multiples for guests.
			:* Besides storing the device in a dropper bottle, the dropper bulb could be used as cap to seal the end of the piece, containing the heat element as well as possibly any loose contents.
			:* The Inspirator may also be used without a bubbler for portability, stealth, and resource considerations.
