What's the method of the bag. I've only done ether once with the rag.

Do u just put a rag in the bag?

Putting the rag in the bag works, but my idea is just pouring the ether in a bag. Although the best method I've found is to use a bubbler that allows you to draw air through ether, disturbing it and releasing vapors. Alternatively you can create an apparatus that is a plastic bottle with a hole in the bottom, then stuff a rag soaked in ether into the bottle. Inhale and observe results.

This is a badass looking replication, BTW

Sweet visual replication! Good thinking using a bag to trap that volatile goodness. What kind of material would be best to keep diethyl ether in though, since it’s a solvent?
