Introduction
In a pinch and need a makeshift pipe? Look no further than the common pen. This versatile writing tool can easily be converted into a functional pipe with minimal effort. So, gather your supplies, and let’s explore three innovative techniques for making a pipe out of a pen.
1. The Basic Pen Pipe
Supplies Needed:
– Pen with a removable cap and metal tip
– Lighter or heat source
Instructions:
1. Begin by disassembling the pen, removing the ink cartridge and cap.
2. Ensure that the pen tube is free of any remaining ink.
3. Hold one end of the pen tube in the flame of a lighter or another heat source, being sure not to burn yourself or melt the plastic. Once it is warm, carefully push the metal tip into the heated end of the tube, creating a bowl with an opening large enough for your tobacco or herbs.
4. Fit the cap securely onto the other end of the tube, creating an airtight seal to draw smoke through.
5. Your pen pipe is now ready to use! Simply place your smoking material in the bowl and light it while inhaling through the open end.
2. The Add-On Chamber Pen Pipe
Supplies Needed:
– Two pens with removable caps and metal tips
– Lighter or heat source
– Scissors or utility knife
– Tape (duct tape or electrical tape preferred)
Instructions:
1. Follow Steps 1 through 3 from “The Basic Pen Pipe.”
2. Take the second pen, remove its ink cartridge and cap, and cut off one end at an angle using scissors or a utility knife.
3. Place the angled end of this second tube into your newly created bowl on Tube 1`.
4. Seal both tubes’ meeting point using tape to create an additional chamber for added filtration.
5. Attach a cap to the other end of Tube 2 and use the resulting add-on chamber pen pipe as described in “The Basic Pen Pipe.”
3. The Water Filtration Pen Pipe
Supplies Needed:
– Pen with a removable cap and metal tip
– Lighter or heat source
– Small water bottle with cap (empty, cleaned, and label removed)
– Needle or pin
– Tape (duct tape or electrical tape preferred)
Instructions:
1. Follow Steps 1 through 3 from “The Basic Pen Pipe.”
2. Carefully puncture the water bottle cap with a needle or pin, creating an opening large enough to accommodate the pen tube containing the bowl.
3. Insert the bowl-end of your pen tube through the hole in the water bottle cap.
4. Fill the water bottle with water—enough to submerge a small portion of the pen tube—and tightly screw on the cap with the attached pen tube.
5. Tape any gaps around where the pen tube meets the bottle cap to assure an airtight seal.
6. To use your water filtration pen pipe, remove the non-bowl end cap, place your smoking material in the bowl, light it, and inhale through the open end while holding your finger on holes opened in step 2.
Conclusion
With these three simple and effective methods for creating pipes from everyday pens, you will never be left without a viable smoking option when you need it most. Just be sure to use caution when handling fire or sharp objects and always enjoy your new pen pipe responsibly!
