After purchasing an alcohol lamp from a shroomery vendor I was very disappointed in it,

I made my own by stuffing a double shotglass with isopropyl alcohol soaked paper towels jamming them in tight.  Then I took the old wick, wrapped a tinfoil ring to weight it down in the middle, and dropped it in the glass.  Topped it off with a little wintergreen alcohol, put it on my electric burning next to a dry papertowl and poof!

All this to smoke a hone oil spliff and a cig :)

BTW, if you live in the USA, Walgreens now sells ethanol based rubbing alcohols, they only have a bit of isopropanol added to make it a non-liquor protect.

As far as making a lamp, just buy one.  They're cheap and you want to have a good setup when you're working with flame and flamable alcohol.

$3.10 for an alcohol lamp.
