Smoking out of a water bottle is an easy way to start smoking. This method works by creating air pressure inside the bottle that forces smoke out of it when the bottle is opened. All you need to make this work is some kind of piece, like a bowl or bong, attached to the top of the water bottle, and then light your material on fire in one end and open the other end quickly so that all the smoke rushes out.
This can be used for smoking regular tobacco and more concentrated products, like hash or wax. This method allows you to experience a smooth hit without using fancy equipment. However, being cautious and aware of the potential risks is essential. In this article, we’ll walk you through how to safely smoke out of a water bottle and some tips to make the experience more enjoyable.
Materials and Supplies Needed
Smoking from a water bottle bong is an easy and affordable way to enjoy your favorite herbs. Only a few materials and supplies are needed to make one, making it an ideal option for those on a budget. To construct a water bottle bong, you will need: one plastic or glass water bottle, scissors, aluminum foil, a pen or pencil, and some cannabis.
Water Bottle
A water bottle bong is a great way to enjoy cannabis without purchasing an expensive smoking device. This simple and affordable homemade smoking device uses common household items, making it an excellent option for anyone on a budget.
To create your own water bottle bong, you will need one plastic or glass water bottle, scissors or another cutting instrument, aluminum foil, a pen or pencil, and some cannabis.
Carb Hole Punch/Drill and Bit
Carb hole punch or drill and bit are optional tools that can be used to make a water bottle bong. This tool creates a hole at the top of the bottle or bowl piece, allowing users to control airflow when smoking cannabis.
For those who do not have access to these tools, it is possible to create a small hole using an object such as a pen or pencil, but for more consistent results, investing in a carb hole punch or drill and bit is recommended.
Aluminum Foil/Gauze/Bowl Piece
Aluminum foil is a popular material for creating a bowl piece for a water bottle bong. This method is often used by those who lack access to carb-hole punches or drills and bits, as aluminum foil can easily be fashioned into a bowl shape with the help of some scissors or a knife.
However, when using aluminum foil, it is crucial to make sure that it doesn’t have any holes, as this could lead to unwanted materials entering the water bottle.
Duct Tape or Other Sticky Residue
Duct tape is another popular material for creating a bowl piece for a water bottle bong. This method is often used by those who lack access to carb-hole punches or drills and bits, as duct tape can easily be fashioned into a bowl shape with the help of an X-acto knife or scissors.
In addition, users can easily create their own bowl pieces out of duct tape for their homemade water bottle bong.
How to Assemble the Bong
Once you have all the components necessary to assemble your water bottle bong, it is time to put it together. Be sure to replace any lost water occasionally as you use your bong so that there is always enough for a smooth smoking experience. With these simple steps, you should have everything necessary for an enjoyable session with a homemade water bottle bong.
Choose the Right Bottle Size
When assembling a water bottle bong, choosing the right size bottle is essential. If the bottle is too small, it will not provide enough space for smoke to build up and be filtered through the water in order to cool down and give you a smooth smoking experience.
Also, ensure that your water bottle has no cracks or holes, as this could lead to leakage while using your bong. With these tips in mind, you should have no problem finding the perfect size bottle for your homemade bong.
Punch the Carb Hole
Punching a carb hole is optional in making a water bottle bong. To do this, you must use a sharp object like a nail or paperclip to create a small hole at the top of your bottle. This is important as it allows the smoke to be cleared out after each hit by covering and uncovering this hole with your finger.
Without the carb hole, you would have difficulty clearing out all of the smoke from your bong each time. When punching the hole, put some pressure on it so that it is not too large or too small.
Create an Aluminum Foil Bowl Piece
Creating an aluminum foil bowl piece is the next step in making a water bottle bong. To do this, you must tear off a sheet of aluminum foil and mold it into a bowl shape. Once you have done so, use a pen or pencil to poke several small holes in the center and around the sides of your bowl piece.
When finished, place your aluminum bowl piece over the top opening of your water bottle and press it down firmly to create an airtight seal. After that, you should be ready to add some herbs to your homemade bong and start smoking.
Secure the Bowl Piece in Place
The fourth step in making a water bottle bong is to secure your bowl piece in place. You must use some adhesive material, such as tape or glue, to do this. Start by wrapping several pieces of tape around the water bottle’s top edge and then pressing the aluminum bowl piece firmly into place. This should help create an airtight seal so that no smoke can escape through cracks or gaps.
Fill with Water and Test it Out
The fifth and final step in making a water bottle bong is to fill it with water and test it out. Begin by filling the bottle with cold water until it reaches the level of the bottom of your bowl piece. Once you have filled the bong, place your lips on the top opening and light up your herb. If everything has been put together properly, you should be rewarded with a smooth hit from your homemade bong.
Tips for Using Your New Water Bottle Bong
Now that you have your homemade water bottle bong, it’s time to get smoking. Here are some tips to help ensure the best experience when using your new device.
1. Ensure your herb is ground up as finely as possible. This will allow for a smoother hit and reduce the chances of clogging. Additionally, be sure to draw slowly and evenly on the bong so that you don’t pull too much smoke at once.
2. Never use hot water in your bong. Hot water can damage the bottle’s plastic and ruin the flavor of your smoke. Instead, use cold or lukewarm water for optimal results.
3. Clean your bong regularly. Residue from smoke builds up quickly and can make subsequent hits taste bad. To clean, fill the bottle with warm water and a few drops of dish soap and shake vigorously before rinsing with cold water.
