If you are looking for a way to enjoy your herb or tobacco without spending money on a store-bought bong, you can easily make one at home using some common household items. A bong is a device that filters smoke through water, making it smoother and cooler to inhale. There are many different types of bongs, but they all have the same basic components: a bowl, a downstem, a water chamber, and a mouthpiece. In this blog post, we will show you how to make a simple bong using a plastic bottle, a highlighter, some aluminum foil, and a needle. You will also need some water, scissors, and duct tape.
Step 1: Prepare the Bottle
The first thing you need to do is to find a plastic bottle that is suitable for making a bong. You can use any kind of plastic bottle, but keep in mind that the larger the bottle is, the bigger the bong hits will be. You don’t need the cap of the bottle, so you can discard it or save it for another use. You also don’t need to leave any water in the bottle, unless you want to weigh it down.
Next, you need to poke two holes in the bottle: one near the bottom for the downstem, and one near the top for the carb. The carb is the hole that you will cover with your finger when you smoke, and then release to clear the smoke from the bottle. You can use any sharp tool to make the holes, such as a pen, a knife, or a needle. Be careful not to cut yourself or make the holes too big or too small. The hole for the downstem should be about the same width as a pen, and the hole for the carb should be large enough for air to flow through it easily.
Step 2: Make the Downstem and Bowl
The downstem is the tube that connects the bowl to the water chamber of the bong. The bowl is where you put your herb or tobacco before lighting it. To make these parts, you will need a highlighter, some aluminum foil, and a needle.
To make the downstem, empty the contents of a highlighter so you are left with just the hollow plastic tube. You may need to use scissors or pliers to pull the highlighter apart. Then, tear off a small piece of aluminum foil and wrap it around the wide end of the tube. Press the center of the foil down into the tube to make the bowl shape, and poke some tiny holes in it with a needle. These holes will allow the smoke to pass through from the bowl to the downstem.
Step 3: Assemble the Bong
Now that you have all the parts ready, it’s time to put them together and make your bong. First, fill up your bottle with water until it reaches about halfway up. This is your water chamber, which will filter and cool down your smoke. Then, insert the open end of your downstem through the bottom hole of your bottle at an angle, so that it is submerged in the water. The bowl should be pointing upwards on the outside of the bottle.
Next, use some duct tape to seal any gaps or leaks around the holes of your bottle. This will ensure that no air or water escapes from your bong when you use it. Make sure that you don’t cover up the carb hole with tape.
Step 4: Enjoy Your Bong
Congratulations! You have just made your own bong at home using some simple household items. To use it, pack some herb or tobacco into your bowl and light it with a lighter or match. Cover the carb hole with your finger and inhale through the mouthpiece of your bottle. When you are ready to clear your hit, release your finger from the carb hole and inhale again.
Remember to always use your bong responsibly and safely. Do not inhale too much smoke at once or hold it in for too long. Do not use any harmful or illegal substances in your bong. Do not share your bong with anyone who is sick or has an infection. Clean your bong regularly by emptying out the water and rinsing it with hot water and soap.
