Understanding the Basics: Parts of a Bongs

A bong consists of a few key parts. The bowl holds your cannabis and connects to the downstem. This downstem goes into the water, filtering smoke when you inhale. Above all sits the chamber, where smoke collects before reaching your mouth.

Some bongs also have a carb, a small hole that lets air in to clear smoke from the chamber.

Knowing these parts helps make DIY bongs easier. From water bottles to apples, you can turn many items into smoking devices with creativity. Each part serves an essential role in delivering smooth hits from homemade smoking tools or improvised smoking devices for cannabis consumption.

Building the Downstem and Bowl

To create a downstem and bowl, follow these steps:

 

1. Select a cylindrical object to act as the downstem, such as a metal or plastic tube. It should be about six inches long and wide enough to fit snugly into the opening of your chosen water vessel or container.
2. Make a bowl from an apple by removing the stem and coring out the center to create a small bowl - shaped cavity at the top.
3. Alternatively, fashion a Tic Tac bong by drilling a hole in the cap of an empty Tic Tac container. This will serve as your bowl.
4. For a more durable option, construct a bowl from a mason jar lid by drilling a hole in its center and inserting a metal or glass tube for smoking.
5. Once completed, attach the downstem with adhesive if necessary and ensure it reaches just above the water line when placed in your chosen water vessel.
6. Test your creation by filling it with water, placing your homemade bowl on top of the downstem, lighting up, and enjoying!

1. Empty Tic Tac container
2. Aluminum foil
3. Small socket
4. Pen or knife

1. Remove all the Tic Tacs from the container.
2. Use the pen or knife to make a hole in the bottom of the container.
3. Insert the small socket into the hole as the bowl.
4. Mold a small piece of aluminum foil into a cone shape to act as the downstem.

Building an Apple Bong

To make an Apple Bong, first, gather a fresh apple and a pen. Next, remove the stem and poke a hole through the top of the apple using the pen to form the bowl. Then, create another hole on the side for the mouthpiece. After that, make sure to connect a makeshift downstem or use aluminum foil. Finally, fill the bowl with your favorite herb and enjoy smoking from your DIY Apple Bong.

Building a Mason Jar Bong

To build a Mason jar bong, follow these simple steps:

 

1. Start by gathering the materials needed: a clean Mason jar, a downstem, a bowl, a rubber grommet, and water.
2. Next, drill a hole in the lid of the Mason jar that is just big enough for the downstem to fit snugly.
3. Insert the downstem through the hole in the lid and secure it with a rubber grommet to prevent any air from escaping.
4. Attach the bowl to the end of the downstem, ensuring it is securely fitted.
5. Fill the Mason jar with water until it covers about an inch of the bottom of the downstem.
6. Screw on the lid tightly and ensure there are no leaks.
7. Your homemade Mason jar bong is now ready to use for an enjoyable smoking experience.
