DIY Gravity Bong: Crafting the Perfect Smoke Session
Ready to elevate your cannabis experience? Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just looking to try something new, a gravity bong offers a unique way to enjoy your favorite strains. This DIY project is not only easy but also delivers a powerful hit that’s sure to impress.
What is a Gravity Bong?
A gravity bong is a simple yet effective device that uses the force of gravity to funnel smoke into your lungs. Unlike traditional methods like pipes or joints, a gravity bong delivers a concentrated hit, making it a popular choice for those looking for a more intense experience.
Why Make a Gravity Bong?
Crafting a gravity bong at home is a fun and efficient way to enjoy cannabis, especially if you're looking to stretch your stash. The process is straightforward and requires only a few household items, making it accessible for anyone with a bit of creativity and a desire to explore a new way of smoking. In the Kacey Musgraves song “Deeper Well,” she sings, “I used to wake and bake, roll out of bed, hit the gravity bong that I made,” capturing the DIY spirit of this classic method.
How to Make a Gravity Bong
Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating your own gravity bong:
Materials Needed:
A plastic bottle with a cap (16-20 oz. is ideal)
A larger bottle or a bucket
Aluminum foil
A box cutter or sharp knife
A poking tool
Cannabis (at least one gram)
Step 1: Prepare the Bottles
Start by cutting the bottom off your smaller plastic bottle. The larger the remaining portion, the bigger the hit you’ll get. Next, cut the bottom off your larger bottle or use a bucket, and fill it with water, leaving about two inches at the top.
Step 2: Create the Bowl
Unscrew the cap from the smaller bottle and make a hole in the center. Wrap the cap with aluminum foil, shaping it into a small bowl to hold your cannabis. Use a poking tool to create 3-5 small holes in the foil for ventilation. If you’re looking for a healthier option, consider using a metal bowl piece instead of foil.
Step 3: Assemble the Gravity Bong
Fill the large bottle or bucket with water and submerge the smaller bottle, leaving just the cap above the waterline. Load the foil-covered cap with cannabis from The Novel Tree, but don’t screw it on just yet.
Step 4: Light Up
As you slowly pull the smaller bottle out of the water, light the cannabis. The rising bottle will fill with smoke as it’s drawn out of the water. Once the bottle is full of smoke, carefully unscrew the cap, place your mouth over the opening, and gently push the bottle back into the water. The smoke will be forced into your lungs, delivering a potent hit.
A Final Word of Caution
While making a gravity bong is simple, it's important to be mindful of your health. Using plastic bottles can release harmful chemicals when heated, so proceed with caution. For frequent use, consider investing in a glass or silicone bong.
