I like to think im a DIY expert i have perfected multiple good devices. In this thread i want you people to share ideas, blueprints, or even ask how to make a certain part or help with constructing a smoking device. DIY Expert
Well, grommets are great help for good seals. Oh and diamond drill bits are a must for homemade glass bongs. And hot glue is your best friend.
Yep, it's the only way to get a good cut into anything glass safely. Another tip, if you're using a paperclip to make holes in anything, just use a candle or your stove (if it's gas, like mine) to heat it. Saves your lighters for smoking.
i have a DIY bong ill post pics soon. but i want to make one out of a med gatorade bottle and a pill bottle and inside the gatorade bottle is a nother pill bottle that works as a diffuser? ever seen anything like that?
So basically you're running an inline to a perc of sorts. I have one similar, but I'm too lazy to put up pics. It works pretty well, just make sure there's enough airflow. Also: Don't make homemades too big, they tend to be pretty hard to clear in one smooth breath at that point.
i have yet to make that gatorade one but i have a huge water bong and it never gets milky... do you know why? are my bowls just too small
Well if it's huge then yeah, most likely. Are you getting a bunch of smoke though? Because if you just aren't getting much smoke you might just have an airflow issue. Sometimes homemade stems don't give the best airflow with a glass slide, I've found.
, The pinnacle of home made bongs this is what im going to do soon. its not an airflow problem i can hardly blow out and water will fly out the stem my bowls arent big at all and i hardly get hits... assuming bowl size is the problem
Mine is set up a bit like that, minus the precooler. Hit's soooo smooth for a damn homemade bong. Really is a great design. I need to get my hands on another small glass downstem...
ever blow weed out of the bowl with a gb well take that bottom part of the soda bottle you cut on and make a while in it and bam you got a tray catch dont use old scizzors to make it tho i just broke the blade doing that i dunna what type of plastic they use but the bottom of those bottles are strong as fuck just thought i would share this information before i forgot it
Haha i saw this the first time if you know what i mean. Subbed. Grommets are good for seals --anyone here watch Soundrone on yourtube? The first thing i made that got me high was a Zebra pen one hitter. The pens are 100% steel so pretty safe in comparison to a soda can pipe or any shit like that. Also good for downstems.
I have 3 questions: 1) what could i make the bowl and stem out of ( the more discreet and easy to clean the better) 2) what material for the bowl/downstem 3) would iso+salt clean my empty bottle and downstem/bowl?
1) A pen tube and a socket is your easiest way to make a bowl/downstem combo. 2) same as above. 3) Yes it would. I would recommend at least buying a glass slide to use though, it makes the taste a whole bunch better even if you're using a pen tube as a downstem. The best pens to use are the metal ones, I think they're called Zebra pens but I don't know. Diffusing the stem makes it hit a ton better as well. With a plastic pen tube, you can do this by heating up a paper clip (with a lighter, candle , gas stove, etc) until it's red hot, and then poking it through the stem to make holes.
Could I make a bowl out of sheet copper? I have left over pieces of copper sheets that I don't need and wanted to know if it would be safe to use the copper?
