If you enjoy smoking herb or tobacco, you might want to try making your own glass bong at home. A glass bong is a device that filters the smoke through water, resulting in a smoother and cooler hit. Glass bongs are also more durable and easier to clean than plastic or metal ones. Plus, making your own glass bong can be a fun and creative project that will save you some money and impress your friends.
In this blog post, we will show you how to make a homemade glass bong with simple materials that you can find around your house or at a local store. You will need:
- A glass bottle with a long neck and a wide base
- A 3/4″ diamond drill bit
- A battery-powered drill
- A 14mm glass bowl and downstem
- A rubber grommet
- Safety goggles
- Water
Follow these steps to make your homemade glass bong:
Step 1: Clean the bottle and mark the spot to drill
Empty the bottle and wash it out with warm water. Remove any plastic or labels that might be on the bottle. Find a spot on the bottle where the surface is relatively flat, somewhere on the upper curve of the body. Place the grommet there and use it to trace a circle with a sharpie. This will be the hole for the downstem.
Step 2: Attach the drill bit and prepare your tools
Attach the diamond drill bit to your drill. Make sure to use a battery-powered drill, as you will be running water over the drilling area. Put on your safety goggles to protect your eyes from any glass shards. You might also want to wear gloves and a mask for extra protection.
Step 3: Drill the hole for the downstem
To keep the glass cool and prevent it from breaking, turn on the faucet and get a steady stream of water over the spot you marked. Hold the bottle firmly with one hand and use the other hand to drill slowly. Set your drill to 3/4 of its max speed and gently push it against the marked spot. Do not apply too much pressure or force, as this can crack the glass. Let the drill do the work and be patient. It might take several minutes to drill through the glass.
Once you have drilled through the glass, stop the drill and pull it out carefully. Rinse off any glass dust or debris from the bottle and the drill bit.
Step 4: Insert the downstem and bowl
Measure the distance from the hole you drilled to the opposite side of the base of the bottle. This will be the length of your downstem. Cut your downstem if it is too long, or get a new one if it is too short. You want your downstem to be submerged in water when you fill up your bong.
Push the open end of the downstem through the hole you drilled at an angle so that it reaches the opposite side of the base. The bowl should be facing upward on the outside of the bottle. Use the rubber grommet to seal any gaps between the downstem and the hole.
Step 5: Fill up your bong with water and enjoy
Pour some water into your bong through the mouthpiece until it covers about an inch of your downstem. You don’t want to fill it up too much or else you might get water in your mouth when you smoke.
Pack some herb or tobacco into your bowl and light it up with a lighter. Cover the mouthpiece with your mouth and inhale slowly while lifting up your lighter. You should see smoke bubbling through the water and filling up your bottle.
When you are ready to take a hit, remove your lighter and uncover a small hole near the neck of your bottle with your finger. This is called the carb, and it allows air to flow into your bong so you can inhale all of
the smoke in one go.
Congratulations! You have just made your own homemade glass bong with simple materials. Enjoy your smooth and cool hits, and don’t forget to clean your bong regularly to keep it in good shape.
