A gravity bong is a simple but effective way to smoke your favorite herb or tobacco. It uses the power of water and air pressure to create a strong suction that pulls the smoke into a chamber, where you can inhale it in one go. Gravity bongs are also very easy to make at home, using some common household items and tools. 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 will 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
- Scissors or a knife
- Water
- Your herb or tobacco of choice
- A lighter or matches
How to Make a Gravity Bong Using a Bucket
This method involves submerging the bottle into the water-filled container and lifting it up to fill it with smoke. Here are the steps to follow:
- Cut off the bottom of the bottle using scissors or a knife. Be careful not to cut yourself and discard the bottom part.
- Make a hole in the center of the bottle cap using a toothpick, a pin, or a drill. The hole should be big enough to fit a bowl piece, if you have one.
- Cover the bottle cap with aluminum foil and mold it into a bowl shape. Poke some holes in the foil with a toothpick or a pin.
- Fill your larger container or bucket with water, leaving some space at the top.
- Screw the foil-covered cap back on the bottle and place your herb or tobacco on the foil.
- Submerge the bottle into the water, leaving the cap above the water level.
- Light your herb or tobacco and slowly lift the bottle up, 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 opening.
- Push the bottle down while inhaling the smoke from the chamber.
How to Make a Waterfall Gravity Bong
This method involves letting the water flow out of the bottle and creating a negative pressure that pulls the smoke in. Here are the steps to follow:
- Poke a hole near the bottom of the bottle using a toothpick, a pin, or a drill. The hole should be small enough to be covered with your finger.
- Make another hole in the center of the bottle cap and cover it with aluminum foil as described above.
- Fill your bottle with water and cover the bottom hole with your finger.
- Screw the foil-covered cap back on the bottle and place your herb or tobacco on the foil.
- Holding the bottle over a sink or a bowl, light your herb or tobacco and remove your finger from the bottom hole, allowing the water to drain out.
- As the water flows out, smoke will be drawn into the bottle. You can control the speed of the water by covering and uncovering the bottom hole.
- When all the water is out, unscrew the cap and put your mouth over the opening.
- Inhale the smoke from the chamber as quickly as possible.
Tips and Warnings
- Be careful not to burn yourself when lighting your herb or tobacco. Use a long lighter or matches for safety.
- Don’t inhale too hard or too fast, as you might get dizzy or cough. Take small sips of smoke at first and see how you feel.
- Don’t use plastic bottles that have been exposed to heat or sunlight, as they might release harmful chemicals when heated. Use fresh and clean bottles instead.
- Don’t reuse your gravity bong for too long, as it might get dirty and moldy. Replace your bottle and foil regularly for hygiene.
- Don’t smoke in places where it is illegal or unsafe. Respect the law and your surroundings.
Conclusion
A gravity bong is a great way to enjoy your herb or tobacco in a different and fun way. It is also very easy and cheap to make, using some basic materials and tools. You can make a gravity bong using a bucket or a waterfall method, depending on your preference. Both methods will produce potent and smooth hits that will get you high in no time. Just remember to be careful, responsible, and respectful when using your gravity bong, and have fun!</p
