If you are looking for a simple and fun way to enjoy your herb or tobacco, you might want to try making an apple bong. An apple bong is a homemade pipe that uses an apple as the main component. Apples are easy to find, cheap, and biodegradable, making them ideal for a DIY project. Plus, they add a fruity flavor to your smoke, which can be quite pleasant.
There are different ways to make an apple bong, but the basic principle is the same: you need to create a chamber inside the apple that connects a bowl, a mouthpiece, and a carb. The bowl is where you place your herb or tobacco, the mouthpiece is where you inhale the smoke, and the carb is a hole that you cover and uncover with your finger to control the airflow. Here are two methods to make an apple bong using common household items.
Method 1: Making an Apple Bong Using a Pen
This method is quick and easy, and it only requires an apple and a pen. You can use any type of pen, as long as it has a sharp tip and a hollow body. Here are the steps to follow:
- Get an apple and a pen. Make sure the apple is fresh and firm, and the pen is clean and empty of ink. You can unscrew the pen and remove the ink well, then screw the tip back on.
- Remove the stem from the apple. You can use your fingers to twist or pull it off, or cut it with a knife. Make sure you get the entire stem out of the way.
- Bore a hole through the top of the apple. Place the pointed tip of the pen over the hole where the stem used to be, and push it into the apple at a slight angle. Stop when you reach about halfway through the apple. This hole will serve as the bowl for your herb or tobacco.
- Bore a second hole near the bottom of the apple. This hole will serve as the mouthpiece for your apple bong. It should be about half an inch from the base of the apple, and on the opposite side of the first hole. Insert the pen and poke a hole that meets up with the first hole inside the apple.
- Bore a third hole on the side of the apple. This hole will serve as the carb for your apple bong. It should be about an inch or more from the top hole, and on a convenient spot to cover with your finger while you light up. Insert the pen and poke a hole that meets up with the chamber system you have created inside the apple.
- Make a bowl. Use the pen or another object to carve out a hollow shape on the top of the apple where the first hole was drilled. You can make it as deep or shallow as you like, depending on how much herb or tobacco you want to use. Be careful not to puncture through the bottom of the bowl, or your material will fall into the chamber.
- Enjoy your apple bong. Pack some herb or tobacco into the bowl, cover the carb with your finger, place your lips over the mouthpiece, and light up. As you inhale, you will draw smoke from the bowl into the chamber, and then into your mouth. When you want to clear the smoke, uncover the carb and inhale sharply.
Method 2: Making a Hollowed-Out Apple Bong
This method is slightly more complicated, but it allows you to use more of the apple as a chamber for your smoke. You will need an apple, a knife, a spoon, and a hollow pen or straw. Here are the steps to follow:
- Get an apple and cut off its top. Use a sharp knife to slice off about an inch from
the top of
the apple,
where
the stem
is.
Slide
the top
off
and remove
the stem.
Do not cut too close
to
the stem,
because
you will need
to use
the top
as
a bowl. - Hollow out
the apple.
Use
a spoon
to scoop out
the flesh
of
the apple,
leaving
a thin wall around
the edges.
Be careful not
to break through
the bottom or sides of
the apple,
or your bong will leak.
You can eat or discard
the flesh,
or save it for later. - Make
a mouthpiece.
Use
a hollow pen or straw
to poke
a hole near
the bottom of
the apple,
on
the opposite side of
the cut.
Push
it through
until it reaches
the hollowed-out chamber inside
the apple.
This hole will serve
as
the mouthpiece for your apple bong. - Make
a carb.
Use
the same pen or straw
to poke
a hole on
the side of
the apple,
about an inch or more from
the cut.
Push
it through
until it meets up with
the chamber system inside
the apple.
This hole will serve
as
the carb for your apple bong. - Make
a bowl.
Use
the top of
the apple that you cut off earlier
as
a bowl for your herb or tobacco.
Use
a spoon or knife
to carve out a hollow shape on
the top of
the apple piece,
where the stem used to be.
You can make it as deep or shallow as you like,
depending on how much herb or tobacco you want to use.
Be careful not to puncture through the bottom of the bowl,
or your material will fall into the chamber. - Enjoy your apple bong. Place the bowl on top of the apple, aligning the hole with the chamber. Pack some herb or tobacco into the bowl, cover the carb with your finger, place your lips over the mouthpiece, and light up. As you inhale, you will draw smoke from the bowl into the chamber, and then into your mouth. When you want to clear the smoke, uncover the carb and inhale sharply.
Conclusion
An apple bong is a fun and easy way to enjoy your herb or tobacco without spending a lot of money or time. You can make one with just an apple and a pen, or with a few more tools if you want to get creative. Either way, you will end up with a fruity and flavorful smoke that will make your session more enjoyable. Just remember to use fresh and firm apples, and to dispose of them properly after use. Happy smoking!</p
