If you enjoy smoking herb or tobacco, you may want to try making your own bong at home. A bong is a device that filters the smoke through water, making it smoother and cooler. You can make a bong out of various materials, such as plastic bottles, fruits, or even pumpkins. In this blog post, we will show you how to make a simple homemade bong using a plastic bottle and some household items.
What You Will Need
- A plastic bottle of any size (the larger the bottle, the bigger the hits)
- A pen or a highlighter (empty the contents and remove the ink)
- Aluminum foil
- A sharp tool, such as a knife, scissors, or a paperclip
- Water
- Your favorite herb or tobacco
Step 1: Make the Carb
The carb is the hole that you will cover with your finger when you inhale and release when you want to clear the smoke from the bottle. To make the carb, poke a hole near the neck of the bottle with your sharp tool. Make sure the hole is large enough for air to flow through, but not so big that you can’t cover it with your finger.
Step 2: Make the Downstem and Bowl
The downstem is the tube that connects the bowl to the water chamber. The bowl is where you will pack your herb or tobacco. To make the downstem and bowl, use the pen or highlighter tube as the base. Wrap a small piece of aluminum foil around one end of the tube and press it down to form a bowl shape. Poke some small holes in the foil to allow the smoke to pass through. Alternatively, you can use a pre-fabricated bowl if you have one.
Step 3: Make the Water Chamber
The water chamber is where the smoke will be filtered and cooled by the water. To make the water chamber, fill up the bottle about a quarter of the way with water. Then, poke another hole slightly above the waterline for the downstem. You can use your sharp tool or melt the bottle with your lighter before making the hole. The hole should be about the same width as your pen tube. Push the open end of the downstem through the hole at an angle so that it is submerged in the water. The bowl should be facing upwards on the outside of the bottle.
Step 4: Enjoy Your Homemade Bong
Now that you have made your homemade bong, you are ready to use it. Pack some herb or tobacco in the bowl and light it up. Cover the carb with your finger and inhale through the mouthpiece of the bottle. When you are ready to clear the smoke, release your finger from the carb and inhale again. Repeat as desired.
Congratulations! You have just learned how to make a homemade bong using a plastic bottle and some common items. You can experiment with different materials and designs to create your own unique bongs. Just remember to be careful when making holes in plastic bottles and avoid using aluminum foil as a bowl piece. Have fun and enjoy your homemade bong!
