How to Make a Homemade Gravity Bong in 5 Simple Steps
One of the most beloved methods of smoking, a gravity bong never gets old. It is fun to use, fascinating to watch, and gets the job done perfectly every time. In our experience with gravity bongs at Greener Ganja Cannabis, it has always been a great high. With this being said, they are very expensive.
The price tag can turn away customers quickly, which is why we decided to make a step-by-step tutorial on how to make a gravity bong at home in 5 easy steps. This is something that can be done in 5 minutes, and provide hours of cannabis use.
Supplies Needed
- Water bottle
- 1/4 Inch Socket
- Lighter
- Tall Container
Once you have the supplies, follow these steps in order;
- Fill the container with water
- Create airflow in the water bottle
- Burn a hole in the bottle cap
- Insert socket
- Put the system together
Below will be more in-depth instructions to these steps.
1. Fill the Container With Water
For the first step, fill the container of your gravity bong with water. Don’t fill too much as it will affect the final product, but don’t do too little as it won’t work in the end. The ideal amount of water is around three quarters of the length of your water bottle.
2. Create Airflow in the Water Bottle
For this step, you want to use your lighter and burn the empty water bottle at the bottom creases. Make sure the holes are small, and make around 2-3 of them.
For less airflow and a stronger toking experience, make one medium sized hole. For a smoother toking experience, make 3 small holes around the bottom of the bottle.
3. Burn a Hole in the Bottle Cap
After using the lighter for the airflow on the bottle, you want to keep it handy as you must use it to make a 1/4 inch sized hole in your bottle cap. It is important to not make the hole too large as the airflow will be affected by this.
You can usually make a small hole or large area of melted plastic, and then place the socket inside, pushing through the melted plastic and allowing for a firm insertion.
4. Insert Socket
Speaking of the socket, you want to make sure to wedge it into the bottle cap so that there aren’t any open areas around the edges that could spill out airflow. This is the most important step.
This is where you will be packing your cannabis, so make sure you’re getting large pinches that can be bunched up, so they don’t fall through the socket itself.
5. Put the System Together
Finally, put the water bottle (bucket) in the container (base), and when it is touching the bottom of the container, screw the bottle cap with the socket (topper) back onto the water bottle.
You have now made a gravity bong at home in 5 easy steps! Make sure to be using large pinches of weed, and happy smoking!
