I understand that it would be best for me to buy a whole new bowl/downstem but I'm on a very limited budget. Seeing as it's limited I'd rather spend it on MJ than tools to smoke it with. But! If I can make a new downstem/bowl for my bong then why not? I know that a socket can be used but I have no clue how to keep weed from going through it I don't really have screens available that wont get burnt/melted. If I do use a socket, how would I go about making a downstem? Any suggestions? My bong is glass. Here it is the day after I bought it.
Honestly I would just save up a little and get a decent replacement. If you don't have enough money to get some bud and a glass bowl maybe it would be a good idea to take a break anyway.
I ended up using a door stopper. Take a break? Never! Just because I can only allow a certain amount within my budget for bud doesn't mean I need to take a break. If anything it just means I'm good with my money. I'm on a college student budget, I just paid out a bunch to start a grow. So for now, it's time for a ghetto bowl.
Ever need a screen bro, take a pair of apple headphones and break one of the buds and take the wire screen. Cut to the size you want, works like a charm
Thanks for that had no clue, I'll give it a try. Strawbearee, I know what prices I'm looking at. When I say I'm on a strict budget. I mean it. $30 is out of the question for what I want to/can afford to spend on marijuana tools at this moment in time. But I thank you for the advice anyway. If I could magically find a bowl for the maximum price of $10 (lol) then I would buy it... But I do not know of any local head shops that sell em that cheap. Also, spending $30 on a bowl for a $30 bong is rather silly.
Go out an buy a stainless steel mesh tea ball. Cut a section out of it. Then cut it down to size to fit the bowl.
Oh wow I forgot about tea balls it's perfect because I have a few sitting around here! Heh I actually have these over apple ear plugs.
