Can you use a vaporizer to smoke crack with me bro. The bulb is sealed with air intake and mouthpiece. You heat it with flame and it can vape. But also it is extremely easy to combust with this. Temperature is very unstable with these. They can vape well crystals of anything (especially if it smells bad so you can save your expensive vape from getting stinky using a lightbulb), not very good with mj. Please don't tell me to use crack pipe, inhaling from foils etc. Since that is not vaporizing. That's smoking, which I never want to do again. No, it's vaporizing. If you want to Vape a Vape juice then vapor Vape if you want to smoke crack smoke crack but you’re gonna have to use a different pipe. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but unfortunately that’s just the way things are. Get a weed vape and put a tiny bit in so you don't waste your shit and see what happens. Don't be surprised if you don't get clouds but still get affected. Become a pioneer on the vape scene and give it a crack(pun intended).

Critical reception[edit]

Jonathan Keefe from Slant Magazine said, positively, that: 'Strip Me includes a whole lot of Ryan Tedder's trademark echo-heavy, CAPSLOCK drum-machine arrangements. There's something meta about the laziness in the production of the title track, in that Bedingfield hasn't changed her tune since the days of 'Unwritten,' so Tedder gives the song only the most insignificant of variations on his 'Halo' and 'Already Gone', template. Bedingfield uses her raspy warble to full effect, singing lines like 'I'm only one voice in a million/But you ain't takin' that from me' as though her very life depended on it, but it's nothing that either she or Tedder haven't already done better before'.^[4] The song was one of the Track Pick on the Allmusic review.^[5]

Chart performance[edit]

'Strip Me' made its US Billboard Hot 100 chart debut at number ninety-five on 6 November 2010,^[6] where it remained for just one week.^[7] However, in the week following the release of her album of the same name, 'Strip Me' re-entered the Hot 100 at a new peak of ninety-one.^[8] To date, it is Bedingfield's least successful single,^[9] not including 'Touch' (May 2010) which failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.^[10] However, the song was more successful on the Adult Pop Songs radio format where it has so far logged eight weeks on the chart and peaked at number twenty-three.^[11]

The next verse shows off-screen characters doing her make-up while she is singing with a megaphone. The second chorus shows her wearing a police cap and a scene where she is crawling on mud. In the bridge, Bedingfield is in a lace dress singing in a black and white patterns. When it goes to the chorus, she threw paints of different colors on the wall and mud-scene returns through while Bedingfield is singing.
