Buying a new bong can cost a lot.Basic supplies can be used to make your own bong at home.If you have the right tools and time, you can have a bong in no time.
Step 1: Take 14 of the way and fill a plastic bottle with water.
Any kind of plastic bottle will work, but keep in mind that the larger the bottle is, the bigger the bong hits will be.You will not need the cap if you don't have it.When you smoke a bong, you want the smoke to pass through the water in the bottle.
Step 2: The water bottle has a hole in it.
After you cover the hole with your finger, you can let go of the smoke in the bottle.You won't be able to cover it with your finger if the hole is large.You can use any sharp tool to make the hole, like a pen, knife, or a straightened out paperclip.You should not make the hole too big or cut yourself.
Step 3: The second hole should be above the waterline.
The end of the bottle will be submerged in the water if you put the downstem through this hole.The first hole was made with the same tool.The hole should be the same width as the pen.If it's smaller, you may not be able to push the downstem through because it may be too loose.
Step 4: To make a bong downstem, use a highlighter and foil.
To make the downstem, empty the contents of a highlighter so you have a hollow plastic tube.If you want to pull the highlighter apart, you'll need scissors or pliers.Wrap the wide end of the plastic tube with a piece of aluminum foil.To make a bowl, press the center of the foil down into the tube and poke small holes in it.If you already have a downstem, you can use it with the plastic bottle bong.
Step 5: Push the open end of the downstem through the hole.
The open end of the bottle should be submerged in the water.The bowl should be on the outside of the bottle when you are done with the downstem.If you can't fit the downstem through the hole, make it bigger and try again.Don't make the hole too big or the downstem will be loose.
Step 6: Try out your new bong by packing the bowl.
If you want to use your plastic bottle bong, start by covering the hole you made at the top of the bottle with your finger.You can light the bowl with a lighter by placing your mouth on it.Slowly inhale as you light the bowl.If the bottle is full of smoke, take your finger off and breathe in the smoke.If you can't inhale all of the smoke, you should put the cap on the bottle.When you are ready for more, take the cap off and breathe in the smoke.
Step 7: To make a bowl, cover the bottle's mouth with foil.
Before you use the bong, you'll need the bowl.To make it look like a bowl, just take the cap off the bottle, cover it with foil, and then press it down with your finger.The larger the bottle, the bigger the bong hits will be.If you want to make a gravity bong, you need to fit the plastic bottle inside of another plastic container.
Step 8: Smoke can travel into a bottle if there are small holes in the foil.
To poke the holes, you can use a toothpick or a pencil.The contents of the bowl will fall through if they are too large.A few holes should suffice.If the smoke is not pulling through the bowl, you can add more later.
Step 9: Cut off the bottom of the bottle.
When you finish assembling the bong, this will allow water to get into the bottle.Carefully pierce the bottom of the bottle with a knife.Cut around the bottle with scissors until the bottom is gone.It doesn't matter how much you cut off from the bottom.The bong hits will be smaller the more you cut off.
Step 10: The plastic container is larger than the bottle.
Any kind of plastic container will work.You can use another bottle.The bottle should be open at the top if you cut the neck with scissors.The water shouldn't overflow if the container is left 1–2 inches at the top.
Step 11: The container of water has a plastic bottle in it.
The bowl shouldn't get wet when the waterline reaches the neck of the bottle.The bottle should be filled with water.If you use a shallow container, the bottle may not be completely filled with water.
Step 12: Test your bong by loading the bowl.
Start by lighting the contents of the bowl.As you light the bowl, slowly lift the plastic bottle so it fills with air.Lift until the bottle is almost out of the water.Take the foil off and put it in the mouth.The smoke inside the bottle will escape if you push down on it.If you can't inhale all of the smoke, cover it with your hand until you're ready to take another hit.
