A gravity bong is a simple but effective way to smoke your favorite herb or tobacco. It uses the power of gravity and water to create a vacuum that pulls the smoke into a chamber, where you can inhale it in one big hit. Gravity bongs are also very easy to make at home, using some common household items and a few minutes of your time. In this blog post, we will show you how to make a gravity bong in two different ways: using a bucket or making a waterfall gravity bong. Both methods are equally simple and fun, so try them out and see which one you like better!
What You Need
To make a gravity bong, you will need the following materials:
- A plastic bottle (any size, but bigger bottles produce bigger hits)
- A larger plastic container or bucket (big enough to fit the bottle inside)
- A bottle cap
- Aluminum foil
- A toothpick or a pin
- Some herb or tobacco
- A lighter or matches
How to Make a Bucket Gravity Bong
A bucket gravity bong is the classic way to make a gravity bong. Here are the steps to follow:
- Cut off the bottom of the plastic bottle with scissors or a knife. Be careful not to cut yourself.
- Cover the mouthpiece of the bottle with aluminum foil and shape it into a bowl. Poke some holes in the foil with a toothpick or a pin.
- Fill the larger container or bucket with water, leaving some space at the top.
- Place the bottle in the water, with the foil-covered mouthpiece above the water level.
- Put some herb or tobacco on the foil and light it with a lighter or matches.
- Slowly lift the bottle up as the herb or tobacco burns, creating a vacuum that draws the smoke into the bottle.
- When the bottle is almost out of the water, unscrew the cap and put your mouth over the mouthpiece.
- Push the bottle down into the water as you inhale the smoke from the chamber.
How to Make a Waterfall Gravity Bong
A waterfall gravity bong is another way to make a gravity bong, using only one bottle and no water container. Here are the steps to follow:
- Cut off the bottom of the plastic bottle with scissors or a knife. Be careful not to cut yourself.
- Cover the mouthpiece of the bottle with aluminum foil and shape it into a bowl. Poke some holes in the foil with a toothpick or a pin.
- Poke a small hole near the bottom of the bottle with a toothpick or a pin. This will be your carb hole.
- Fill the bottle with water, covering the carb hole with your finger.
- Put some herb or tobacco on the foil and light it with a lighter or matches.
- Release your finger from the carb hole and let the water drain out of the bottle, creating a vacuum that draws the smoke into the bottle.
- When all the water is out of the bottle, unscrew the cap and put your mouth over the mouthpiece.
- Inhale the smoke from the chamber.
Tips and Warnings
- You can use any size of plastic bottle, but bigger bottles will produce bigger hits. You can also use glass bottles, but be careful not to break them.
- You can use any kind of herb or tobacco, but make sure it is finely ground and not too moist. You can use a grinder or your fingers to break it up.
- You can replace the aluminum foil with a metal bowl piece, a socket wrench, a thimble, or any other metal object that can hold your herb or tobacco. The aluminum foil is not harmful, but some people prefer other materials.
- You can add ice cubes, flavored water, or other liquids to your water container or bucket to cool down and enhance your smoke.
- You can make multiple holes in your bottle cap to create more airflow and smoother hits.
- Be careful not to burn yourself when lighting your herb or tobacco. Use a long lighter or matches for safety.
- Be careful not to inhale too much smoke at once, as gravity bongs can be very potent and harsh. Start with small hits and work your way up.
- Be responsible and respectful when using your gravity bong. Only use it in a place where smoking is legal and safe. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery after using your gravity bong.
