A bong is a device that filters smoke through water and allows you to inhale large amounts of smoke at once. Bongs can be made from various materials, such as glass, metal, plastic, or even fruit. However, buying a bong can be expensive and sometimes you may not have access to one. Fortunately, you can make your own bong at home using some cheap, basic supplies. In this blog post, we will show you how to make a bong from a plastic bottle, a pumpkin, and a pen.
How to Make a Plastic Bottle Bong
A plastic bottle bong is one of the easiest and most common DIY bongs. You will need the following items:
- A plastic bottle of any size (water, soda, or juice bottles work well)
- A pen with a metal tip
- A piece of aluminum foil
- A needle or a pin
- A knife or scissors
- Duct tape
- Water
- Herb or tobacco
Here are the steps to make a plastic bottle bong:
- Fill up the plastic bottle ¼ of the way with water. This will be the base of your bong and the water will filter the smoke.
- Remove the lid from the bottle and set it aside. You will not need it.
- Poke a hole just below the neck of the bottle with your knife or scissors. This will be the carb hole, which you will cover with your finger when smoking and release to clear the smoke from the bottle.
- Make another hole slightly above the waterline on the side of the bottle with your knife or scissors. This will be where you insert the downstem, which is the tube that connects the bowl to the water.
- Take apart the pen and remove the ink tube. You should be left with a hollow metal tube with a tip. This will be your downstem.
- Cut a small piece of aluminum foil and wrap it around the tip of the pen tube. Press it down to form a bowl shape and poke some small holes in it with your needle or pin. This will be where you put your herb or tobacco.
- Push the open end of the pen tube through the hole you made on the side of the bottle. Angle it downward so that it is submerged in the water. The bowl should be facing upward on the outside of the bottle.
- Use duct tape to seal any gaps between the pen tube and the bottle hole. This will prevent any air leaks and make your bong more efficient.
- Pack some herb or tobacco into the bowl and light it up. Place your mouth over the opening of the bottle and cover the carb hole with your finger. Inhale slowly and watch the bottle fill up with smoke. When you are ready to take a hit, uncover the carb hole and inhale sharply to clear the smoke from the bottle.
How to Make a Pumpkin Bong
A pumpkin bong is a fun and festive way to enjoy your herb or tobacco during Halloween season. You will need the following items:
- A medium-sized pumpkin
- A carving knife
- A spoon
- A drill or a screwdriver
- A metal or glass downstem and bowl (you can use one from an old bong or buy one online)
- Water
- Herb or tobacco
Here are the steps to make a pumpkin bong:
- Cut out the stem of your pumpkin with your carving knife. Use it as a handle to pull out this top piece and scrape off any seeds attached to it. Set it aside so you can use it later as a lid.
- Scoop out all the seeds and pulp from inside the pumpkin with your spoon. You want to hollow out as much space as possible for the water and smoke.
- Drill or poke a hole on one side of the pumpkin near the bottom with your drill or screwdriver. This will be where you insert your downstem.
- Drill or poke another hole on another side of the pumpkin near the top with your drill or screwdriver. This will be where you inhale from.
- Insert your downstem and bowl into the bottom hole and make sure it is snug and secure. You may need to use some duct tape or clay to seal any gaps.
- Fill the pumpkin with water until it covers the bottom end of the downstem. You don’t want to fill it too much or it will spill out when you smoke.
- Put the top piece of the pumpkin back on and secure it with some toothpicks or skewers. This will prevent any smoke from escaping.
- Pack some herb or tobacco into the bowl and light it up. Place your mouth over the top hole and inhale slowly. You should see the pumpkin fill up with smoke and hear a bubbling sound. When you are ready to take a hit, remove the top piece of the pumpkin and inhale sharply to clear the smoke.
How to Make a Pen Bong
A pen bong is a simple and discreet way to smoke your herb or tobacco on the go. You will need the following items:
- A pen with a metal tip and a removable cap
- A piece of aluminum foil
- A needle or a pin
- Herb or tobacco
Here are the steps to make a pen bong:
- Take apart the pen and remove the ink tube. You should be left with a hollow metal tube with a tip and a cap.
- Cut a small piece of aluminum foil and wrap it around the tip of the pen tube. Press it down to form a bowl shape and poke some small holes in it with your needle or pin. This will be where you put your herb or tobacco.
- Pack some herb or tobacco into the bowl and light it up. Place your mouth over the open end of the pen tube and inhale slowly. You should feel the smoke travel through the tube and into your mouth.
Conclusion
Making your own bong at home can be a fun and creative way to enjoy your herb or tobacco. You can use various materials and objects that you have lying around, such as plastic bottles, pumpkins, or pens. However, you should always be careful when using homemade bongs, as they may not be as safe or effective as store-bought ones. Always use clean and non-toxic materials, avoid burning any plastic or aluminum, and clean your bong regularly to prevent any mold or bacteria growth.
