Key Takeaways

  • You can make a homemade bong with simple items like a plastic bottle, aluminum foil or metal bottle cap, and water.
  • The size of the plastic bottle affects how much smoke you get, with larger bottles giving stronger hits.
  • Aluminum foil shaped into a bowl goes on top of the plastic bottle to hold your smoking material; make sure it's secure for airflow.
  • Water in the bottle cools and filters the smoke for a smoother hit. Don't overfill it to avoid splashback.
  • Try different DIY bongs like basic water bottle bongs, water pipes, or even gravity bongs using household items to find what works best for you.

Materials Needed

To make a homemade bong, you will need some common household items. These items include a plastic bottle, aluminum foil or metal bottle cap, and water.

Plastic bottle

Choosing the right plastic bottle is critical for making a homemade bong. You want something sturdy, yet easy to cut. A water or soda bottle works best because they are strong enough to hold your smoking material but not too tough to modify.

Make sure it's clean and empty before you start.

The size of the bottle affects how much smoke you'll get. Bigger bottles can hold more smoke, giving you a stronger hit. But if you prefer smoother, smaller hits, go with a smaller bottle.

Keep in mind that whatever size you choose, it should fit comfortably in your hand for easy use.

Aluminum foil or metal bottle cap

You need aluminum foil or a metal bottle cap to cover the mouthpiece of the plastic bottle. The aluminum foil should be shaped into a bowl on top so that it can hold your smoking material.

Make sure the foil is tightly secured around the mouthpiece, and if using a metal bottle cap, make a small hole in it for airflow. Fill the bowl with your choice of herb or tobacco before using your homemade bong.

Water

Fill the plastic bottle with water, leaving some room at the top. The water will cool and filter the smoke as you inhale. Be sure not to overfill it—just enough to cover the bottom opening of the downstem or straw.

Keep in mind that too much water can cause splashback.

After crafting your homemade bong, add an adequate amount of water for optimal filtration and cooling while smoking. It's essential for a smooth and enjoyable experience without any unexpected hiccups.

Making a Basic Water Bottle Bong

To make a basic water bottle bong, gather a plastic bottle, aluminum foil or metal bottle cap, and some water. Cut the bottom of the plastic bottle off and shape your foil into a bowl to place on top.

Poke small holes in the foil for airflow. Fill the base with water, put the cap back on as your mouthpiece, and light up your favorite herb.

Crafting a Basic Water Bottle Bong doesn't require many steps or materials; it's a quick way to create an easily disposable smoking device at home using simple everyday items without spending much money.

Building a Water Pipe

To build a water pipe, start by finding a larger plastic bottle and cutting off the bottom. Next, take a smaller plastic bottle, cut it in half horizontally, and fill the bottom half with water.

Then poke small holes in the cap of the larger bottle and place aluminum foil over it to form a bowl. Screw on the smaller bottle top with water onto the larger bottle's cap. Light your smoking material in the bowl while inhaling from the mouthpiece at the top of your homemade water pipe.

Crafting a homemade bong requires you to be resourceful and creative. It’s essential to find materials that can safely hold smoke without any harmful chemicals leaching into it during use.

Crafting Other Types of Homemade Bongs

Crafting other types of homemade bongs can be fun and creative. Try making a gravity bong using a plastic bottle and a larger container, or fashion a steamroller using a cardboard tube and aluminum foil.

You can even repurpose household items like fruit or vegetables to make an all-natural bong. Experiment with different materials and shapes to find the homemade bong that suits your style best.
