A bong is a device that filters smoke through water to create a smoother and cooler hit. Bongs can be made from various materials, such as glass, metal, plastic, or ceramic. However, sometimes you may not have access to a bong or you may want to try something different and creative. In that case, you can make your own homemade bong using some simple and cheap supplies. Here are some steps on how to make a homemade bong from a plastic bottle, a fruit, or a water pipe.
How to Make a Plastic Bottle Bong
A plastic bottle bong is one of the easiest and most common homemade bongs. You will need:
- A plastic bottle of any size
- A pen with the ink removed
- A small piece of aluminum foil
- A lighter
- A needle or a pin
- Some water
- Some herb or tobacco
Follow these steps to make your plastic bottle bong:
- Fill up the plastic bottle about a quarter of the way with water. This will be the base of your bong.
- Poke a hole near the neck of the bottle with the pen. This will be the carb hole, which you will cover with your finger when smoking and release to clear the smoke from the bottle.
- Poke another hole slightly above the waterline on the side of the bottle with the pen. This will be where you insert the downstem, which is the tube that connects the bowl to the water.
- Make the second hole bigger with a pair of scissors until it is about the same width as the pen. Be careful not to make it too big or the pen will be too loose.
- Insert the pen into the second hole at an angle so that one end is submerged in the water and the other end is pointing upwards. This is your downstem.
- Tear off a small piece of aluminum foil and wrap it around the upward end of the pen. Press it down into the pen to make a bowl shape and poke some small holes in it with a needle or a pin. This is your bowl.
- Pack some herb or tobacco into the bowl and light it with a lighter. Cover the carb hole with your finger and inhale from the mouth of the bottle. When you are ready to clear the smoke, release your finger from the carb hole and inhale again.
How to Make a Fruit Bong
A fruit bong is a fun and flavorful way to smoke your herb or tobacco. You can use any fruit with a large chamber, such as a melon, a pineapple, or a coconut. You will need:
- A fruit of your choice
- A knife
- A spoon or a scooper
- A pen with the ink removed
- A small piece of aluminum foil
- A lighter
- A needle or a pin
- Some herb or tobacco
Follow these steps to make your fruit bong:
- Cut off the top of the fruit and scoop out the contents with a spoon or a scooper, leaving a chamber and a lid.
- Cut a hole in the top half (the lid) for your bowl and downstem. Make sure it is big enough for the pen to fit through.
- Cut another hole in the side of the fruit near the bottom for your mouthpiece. Make sure it is big enough for you to inhale comfortably.
- Insert the pen into the hole in the lid at an angle so that one end is inside the chamber and the other end is sticking out.
- Wrap some aluminum foil around the outward end of the pen and make a bowl shape. Poke some small holes in it with a needle or a pin.
- Pack some herb or tobacco into the bowl and light it with a lighter. Inhale from the mouthpiece on the side of the fruit while covering and uncovering the hole on top of the fruit with your hand.
How to Make a Water Pipe Bong
A water pipe bong is another easy and effective homemade bong. You will need:
- A water pipe (also known as PVC pipe) of any length and diameter
- A drill or a saw
- A rubber grommet
- A metal or glass bowl
- Some water
- Some herb or tobacco
Follow these steps to make your water pipe bong:
- Cut off a piece of the water pipe that is about 12 inches long. This will be the body of your bong.
- Drill or saw a hole near one end of the pipe that is slightly smaller than the diameter of your bowl.
- Insert a rubber grommet into the hole to make an airtight seal.
- Insert your bowl into the grommet. This is your downstem and bowl.
- Fill the pipe with some water until it covers about an inch of the downstem.
- Pack some herb or tobacco into the bowl and light it with a lighter. Inhale from the other end of the pipe while covering and uncovering the hole on the side of the bowl with your finger.
These are some of the ways you can make a homemade bong with simple and cheap supplies. Homemade bongs are great for when you don’t have a regular bong or you want to try something new and creative. However, homemade bongs are not as durable, safe, or hygienic as regular bongs, so you should use them with caution and clean them after each use. Enjoy your homemade bong and happy smoking!
