Introduction to Gravity Bongs
A gravity bong, also known as a water bong, is a simple yet effective homemade device for smoking cannabis. It uses water and air pressure to draw smoke into a container, providing a unique and potent smoking experience. Here's how you can make your own gravity bong using everyday items.
The Mechanics of a Gravity Bong
Gravity bongs force heavily concentrated smoke into your lungs, filling them to capacity. It's an efficient method of smoking, often requiring less cannabis to achieve the desired effect.
Materials Needed for a Gravity Bong
- A Large Container: A bucket, sink, or large pot filled with water.
- A Smaller Container: A plastic bottle (2-liter or smaller) with the bottom cut off.
- A Bowl: This can be a metal socket or a bowl from a traditional bong that fits the bottle's mouth.
- Aluminum Foil (if you don't have a metal socket): To make a makeshift bowl.
- A Pin or Needle: To poke holes in the aluminum foil.
- Cannabis: Ground cannabis for smoking.
Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Gravity Bong
Step 1: Prepare the Bottles
- Cut the Bottom off the Smaller Bottle: Use scissors or a knife to carefully cut off the bottom of the plastic bottle.
- Fill the Larger Container with Water: Fill your bucket, sink, or pot with water.
Step 2: Prepare the Bowl
- Metal Socket Method: If you have a metal socket, fit it into the bottle's mouthpiece.
- Aluminum Foil Method: Otherwise, mold aluminum foil over the mouthpiece to form a bowl shape and poke small holes in it with a pin.
Step 3: Assemble the Gravity Bong
- Place the Smaller Bottle in Water: Submerge the cut end of the bottle in the water, leaving the top above the waterline.
Step 4: Load the Cannabis
- Add Cannabis to the Bowl: Place your ground cannabis on the aluminum foil socket or bowl.
Step 5: Light and Lift
- Light the Cannabis: While lighting the cannabis, slowly lift the bottle. The bottle will fill with smoke as it is lifted.
- Do Not Remove From Water: Keep the bottom of the bottle submerged to trap the smoke.
Step 6: Inhale the Smoke
- Remove the Bowl: Once the bottle is filled with smoke, carefully unscrew the cap with the bowl.
- Inhale While Pushing Down: Place your mouth over the bottle's mouthpiece and gently push the bottle back into the water. This action forces the smoke up into your lungs.
Tips for a Better Gravity Bong Experience
- Use a Clean Bottle: Ensure the bottle is clean for the best taste.
- Airtight Seal: If using aluminum foil, ensure it's tightly sealed around the mouthpiece.
- Safety First: Be cautious with the plastic and aluminum foil, especially when they're heated.
