If you enjoy smoking herb or tobacco, but you don’t have a bong at hand, don’t worry. You can make your own bong at home using some cheap and easy-to-find materials. In this blog post, we will show you how to make two types of homemade bongs: a plastic bottle bong and a fruit bong. Both of them are simple, fun, and effective ways to enjoy your favorite smoke.
Plastic Bottle Bong
A plastic bottle bong is one of the most popular homemade bongs. You can use any kind of plastic bottle, but keep in mind that the larger the bottle, the bigger the hits will be. Here’s what you need to make a plastic bottle bong:
- A plastic bottle (any size)
- A pen (with the ink removed)
- Aluminum foil
- A sharp tool (like a knife, scissors, or a paperclip)
- Water
- Herb or tobacco
Follow these steps to make your plastic bottle bong:
- Fill up the plastic bottle ΒΌ of the way with water. The water will filter the smoke when you use the bong.
- Poke a hole just below the neck of the bottle to make the carb. The carb is the hole you’ll cover with your finger at first and then let go of so you can inhale the smoke in the bottle. Make the hole large enough for air to flow through it, but not so big that you won’t be able to cover it with your finger.
- Make a second hole slightly above the waterline for the downstem. The downstem is the tube with the bowl attached to it that goes through this hole at an angle so the end inside of the bottle is submerged in the water. Make this hole about the same width as a pen.
- Use a highlighter and foil to fashion a downstem for the bong. To make the downstem, empty the contents of a highlighter so you’re 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 plastic tube. Press the center of the foil down into the tube to make the bowl and poke tiny holes in it so the smoke can get through.
- Push the open end of the downstem through the bottom hole you made. Angle the downstem downward so the open end inside of the bottle is submerged in the water. When you’re finished inserting the downstem, the bowl should be angled upward on the outside of the bottle.
- Pack the bowl with your herb or tobacco and try out your new bong. To use your plastic bottle bong, start by covering the carb with your finger. Then, light up your herb or tobacco and inhale through the mouthpiece of the bottle. When you’re ready to take a hit, release your finger from the carb and inhale all the smoke in one go.
Fruit Bong
A fruit bong is another creative way to make a homemade bong. You can use any fruit with a large chamber, such as a melon, a pineapple, or a coconut. A fruit bong will also add some natural flavor to your smoke. Here’s what you need to make a fruit bong:
- A fruit (any size)
- A knife
- A spoon
- A pen (with the ink removed)
- Aluminum foil
- Water (optional)
- Herb or tobacco
Follow these steps to make your fruit bong:
- Cut off the top of the fruit and empty its contents with a spoon, so you have a chamber and a lid.
- Cut a hole in the top half (the lid) for your bowl and downstem. Make this hole about the same width as a pen.
- Use a pen and foil to fashion a downstem for the bong. To make the downstem, wrap some aluminum foil around one end of
the pen and press it down into it to make
the bowl. Poke tiny holes in it so
the smoke can get through. - Push the open end of the downstem through the hole you made in the lid. The downstem should go deep enough into the chamber, but not touch the bottom of the fruit.
- If you want, you can add some water to the chamber to make it a water bong. Just make sure the water level is below the downstem.
- Put the lid back on the fruit and pack the bowl with your herb or tobacco. To use your fruit bong, light up your herb or tobacco and inhale through the top of the fruit. Enjoy the natural flavor and aroma of your smoke.
There you have it, two easy ways to make a homemade bong. You can experiment with different materials and shapes to create your own unique bong. Just remember to be careful with sharp tools and hot flames, and always use your bong responsibly. Happy smoking!
