A gravity bong is a simple but effective way to smoke your favorite herb or tobacco. It uses two empty plastic bottles and some water to create a vacuum that pulls the smoke into your lungs. You can make a gravity bong at home with some common household items in just 10 minutes. Here’s how:
What You’ll Need
- An empty plastic bottle (any size, but bigger bottles produce bigger hits)
- Another plastic bottle or container that is larger than the first one
- A pair of scissors or a knife
- Aluminum foil
- A toothpick, a pin, or a paper clip
- Your herb or tobacco of choice
- A lighter or matches
Step 1: Make the Bowl
The bowl is where you’ll put your herb or tobacco. To make it, follow these steps:
- Unscrew the cap from the smaller bottle and make a hole in the center of it with a scissors, a knife, or a drill.
- Cut a square of aluminum foil that is big enough to cover the mouthpiece of the bottle.
- Place the foil over the mouthpiece and press it down around the edges.
- Poke some small holes in the foil with a toothpick, a pin, or a paper clip. Don’t make too many holes or make them too big, or your herb or tobacco will fall through.
Step 2: Make the Bong
The bong is where you’ll fill with water and smoke from. To make it, follow these steps:
- Cut off the bottom of the smaller bottle with a scissors or a knife. You can discard the bottom part.
- Find another plastic bottle or container that is larger than the first one. You can use a bucket, a jug, or another bottle. If you use another bottle, cut off the neck so that the opening is as wide as the body.
- Fill the larger container with water almost to the top. Leave some space for the smaller bottle to fit inside.
Step 3: Use the Bong
Now that you have your gravity bong ready, it’s time to use it. To do that, follow these steps:
- Sprinkle some ground up herb or tobacco over the holes in the foil bowl. You can use your fingers or a grinder to break up your material.
- Place the smaller bottle inside the larger container of water. The mouthpiece should be above the water level and the open bottom should be submerged.
- Screw the cap with the bowl on top of the smaller bottle.
- Light up your herb or tobacco with a lighter or matches while slowly lifting up the smaller bottle. The bottle will fill up with smoke as you lift it.
- When the bottle is almost out of the water, unscrew the cap and put your mouth over the mouthpiece.
- Push down the bottle while inhaling the smoke. The water will force the smoke into your lungs.
Congratulations, you’ve just made and used a gravity bong! Enjoy your high and remember to be responsible and safe when smoking.</p
