Have you ever used a bong to smoke? This filtration device allows you to enjoy your favorite herb at home. Glass bongs are of high quality and won't affect the test or effect of cannabis. Its only major flaw is the risk of breaking when you drop it on the floor.

If you need a fun way of enjoying your marijuana, you won't be disappointed with a glass water bong. You can construct a homemade bond to replace your favorite device with a handful of common household items. It doesn't require too much skill or materials, though you must be patient.

Just get the suitable materials, and you can easily make it. You'll need an empty water bottle, a pen with a metal tip, a lighter, and ground cannabis. You can make a tornado glass bong that's more like a genuine bong and enjoy consuming cannabis or tobacco with ease. This article describes the steps needed to make a homemade glass bong.

Step 1

Choose a glass bottle with a broad base and long neck for the water bong. Any glass bottle with a long neck and broad base works as a water bong since it is easier to get a perfectly sized hole for the stem. The eye-catching shape of this bottle can also form a beautiful display for a water glass bong.

Place the glass upside and mark a spot to drill. Find a spot on the bottle and poke a small hole with a needle to mark it.

Your glass bowl should be 14mm thick, which is needed to handle the heat. You will end up with a body of a water glass bong. Ensure the bottle is clean before drilling. Before drilling the bottle, wash it using warm water and rinse thoroughly to remove everything.

Step 2

Cut a small hole in the glass bottle about a third way from the bottom. You need a drill to create a small home in the bottom third of the water bottle. Ensure the hole is wide enough to accommodate the pen shaft without leaving too much space. Use a battery-powered drill to create a small hole in the water bottle. Don't forget to wear goggles when drilling a hole through the glass to avoid getting an injury from glass pieces.

You need a good drill bit to drill through the glass without breaking it. A drill bit allows you to make a hole in the glass. For example, use a diamond drill with a ¾-inch diameter. In most cases, drill the hole in a flat spot. It shouldn't be difficult to drill the hole if you have some experience. Use a warm bottle when drilling as it makes it effortless and prevents the glass from breaking.

Step 3

After drilling the hole, smoothen the edges to remove any excess glass around the bottle. By smoothening, you can prevent any risk of cuts and injuries from inhaling glass. It also makes the glass bong perfect to use.

Create a seal around the whole glass to prevent any leaks. Your shaft is not airtight in the water bottle, demanding a seal around its outside. Therefore, seal the hole to the pen shaft to prevent leaking. You can use glue or duct tape to seal the gap. For example, you can use chewing gum to seal the gap since it is as effective as glue. Just stick to it.

Step 4

Ensure you have a shaft of the bong by making a pen pipe. This shaft should be made entirely out of metal, though you can use a pen shaft. If it has an unscrewable top, unscrew it using a knife, pop out the bottom piece and ensure you create a shaft.

Fill the water into your bong until it submerges the down end of the pen pipe. The water should not reach the meeting point of the pipe and bottle as it can risk loosening up the glue. Put in the groomer and work it into the hole, then run water over your downstream to slide it into the grommet.

Step 5

You need a glass bong stem that fits into the hole you drilled. Insert it through the hole into the grommet and ensure it sticks properly. Find the right-sized stem that fits your bottle since they are available in different lengths and diameters. You can determine the correct length by measuring the distance from the upper curve of the body to the opposite side of the base.

Add the glass to the stem, and you've got your water bong ready. Use a rubber grommet when making a water glass bong to ensure it doesn't leak water. Find a downstream that's long enough to run from the upper curve of the glass body to the base on the opposite side.

Step 6

The last step is to prepare the bong for use. Fill up the new bong with water past the bottom of the stem and submerge the downstream. There should be enough water to ensure a portion of the pen shaft is underwater. However, don't overfill the bowl, as this could cause the gum to fall off.

After that, use your preferred cannabis strain to fill up the metal pen tip and light it. You use the bong by inhaling your favorite herb through the top of the bottle. You can quickly inhale using the mouthpiece after highlighting the cannabis. Therefore, light the cannabis on fire and drag the bottle up out of the water. You will fill the bottle with thick smoke as you pull.

Pack the bowl with herbs, light it and use the water bottle mouthpiece to the bong. A DIY Homemade bong is cheap compared to purchasing a professionally designed water unit.

The Bottom Line

Glass bongs offer a simple way to enjoy marijuana for both novice smokers and seasoned experts. A homemade glass bong is a great way to enjoy marijuana on a budget. Instead of buying the bongs on the market, you can make a simple one at home. Recycle a used liquor bottle to create a unique bong of your desired size, as you can turn anything into a bong or pipe. Also, ensure you change the water every time you use the water bong to reduce the risk of bacteria build-up. Follow these steps to get started making a homemade water glass bong
