Key Takeaways

  • You need two plastic bottles, aluminum foil, a knife, and cannabis to make a homemade gravity bong.
  • Create the bowl with aluminum foil by shaping it into a cone or cup and poke small holes for airflow. Then place it on top of the bottle cap.
  • Cut one bottle in half to make a base and chamber. Light cannabis in the bowl while lifting the chamber out of water for smoke to fill up, then push down as you inhale deep breaths.

Supplies Needed

To make a gravity bong, you'll need some common household items. These include plastic bottles, aluminum foil, and a knife to get started.

Plastic bottles

Plastic bottles are the foundation of your DIY gravity bong. You'll need two different sizes; a larger one to hold water and a smaller one to create smoke. Make sure they are clean and free from labels for a smoother process.

This choice is vital for building an effective homemade smoking device.

For your waterfall bong, selecting the right size of plastic bottle can make all the difference. A 2-liter bottle works well as the base, while a smaller, say 16-ounce bottle, fits nicely for the top part where you'll attach your aluminum foil bowl.

The size directly impacts how much smoke you'll get, so consider this before starting your DIY project.

Aluminum foil

To make a gravity bong, you'll need aluminum foil. This will be used to create a bowl for your cannabis. Cut a small piece of foil and mold it into the shape of a bowl, ensuring it's deep enough to hold the cannabis but also wide enough for airflow.

Place this makeshift bowl on top of the plastic bottle cap. Be cautious not to use any sharp objects which might pierce or tear through the aluminum foil while shaping it into the bowl.

After making your own homemade aluminum foil bowl, place cannabis in it before using and inhaling from your gravity bong creation that you've made with items such as plastic bottles and simple tools at home!

Knife

Use a sturdy and sharp knife to cut the bottom off one plastic bottle. Then, carefully create a small hole in the cap of the other bottle using the same knife. Remember to handle it with caution and never leave it unattended around children or pets.

After crafting your DIY smoking apparatus, responsibly discard any packaging materials before proceeding. Always prioritize safety when handling sharp objects, especially if under the influence.

Cannabis

Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is a commonly used recreational drug that comes from the Cannabis plant. It is often smoked in homemade devices like gravity bongs and water pipes to achieve its psychoactive effects.

Many stoners enjoy cannabis for its relaxing and mood-altering properties. When using cannabis, it's important to remember to do so responsibly and in compliance with local laws surrounding its use.

Stoners often appreciate the DIY aspect of making smoking tools like bongs, which can enhance their cannabis consumption experience. Homemade bongs are crafted using plastic bottles, aluminum foil bowls, and careful cutting techniques.

Steps to Make a Gravity Bong

Cut the bottles, make a bowl, and inhale. Dive into making your own gravity bong!

Cut bottles

Cut the plastic bottle in half horizontally using a sharp knife. Ensure a smooth and even cut to create two parts - a base and a top section which will function as the chamber. Avoid leaving jagged edges to prevent any mishaps or injuries.

Next, fashion a small bowl from aluminum foil by shaping it into a cone or cup that can sit snugly on top of the opening of the bottle's chamber. Poke small holes in the bottom of the foil bowl for airflow.

Place your cannabis on the foil bowl, light it up while slowly lifting the chamber out of water to draw smoke inside, then push down to inhale. When pulling up again, remove your mouth from opening and breathe in deeply to get all that milky smoke deep into your lungs.

Make a bowl

To make a bowl for your gravity bong, cut a small piece of aluminum foil and shape it into a cone or cup. Place this homemade bowl on top of the bottle cap, securing it tightly with tape if necessary.

Ensure that the bowl fits snugly and is not too large to prevent cannabis from falling through. Poke small holes in the bottom of the aluminum foil to allow proper airflow during inhalation, then add your cannabis to the bowl before lighting it and enjoying your homemade device.

Use and inhale

To use the gravity bong, light the cannabis in the bowl while slowly pulling up on the plastic bottle to fill it with smoke. Once filled, remove the bowl and place your mouth over the opening of the bottle.

Push down on the bottle as you inhale to draw in all that potent smoke for a powerful hit. Exhale and enjoy! Remember not to pull too hard or you might end up with more than you bargained for.

Ensure proper ventilation when using any smoking device, and be mindful of your surroundings and local laws regarding marijuana use.
