  • To vaporize drugs by placing product on the dull side of a piece of aluminum foil and then heating the foil from underneath causing the product to change states. As this occurs vapor is released. The user "chases" the vapor with a straw in an attempt to inhale the psychoactive byproduct. Heroin is most famous for this method of ingestion. Crystal meth users also use this method when a pipe is not available.
