A gravity bong, also known as a geeb or bucket bong, is a homemade smoking device that can provide a strong and smooth hit using minimal materials. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make your own gravity bong.
1. Gather materials: You will need a plastic bottle (1 or 2 liters), a larger container (like a bucket or bathtub), aluminum foil, a lighter, and your choice of smoking material.
2. Cut the bottom off the bottle: Carefully cut off the bottom inch or two of the plastic bottle so it can easily fill with water.
3. Prepare the aluminum foil: Cut out a square piece of aluminum foil (about 5 x 5 inches) and shape it into a slightly concave bowl, fitting over the mouth of the bottle. This will serve as your makeshift bowl.
4. Poke holes in the foil: Using a needle or toothpick, poke several small holes evenly across the foil to allow airflow when smoking.
5. Attach the foil bowl: Place the prepared foil onto the mouth of the bottle, molding it tightly around so no smoke escapes during use.
6. Fill the larger container with water: Ensure there’s enough water to fully submerge your plastic bottle up to its neck.
7. Submerge the bottle: Slowly lower the cut bottom of your plastic bottle into the water-filled container until only the cap portion remains above water.
8. Load your smoking material: Carefully place your desired amount of smoking material into the created aluminum foil bowl. Ensure it’s secure and won’t fall out while submerged in water.
9. Hold your lighter above the bowl: Prepare to light up the smoking material by positioning a lighter just above it, ready for ignition.
10. Ignite and lift simultaneously: Light up your smoking material while slowly lifting the plastic bottle out of the water. As you lift, air pressure will fill the bottle with smoke. Be careful not to lift the bottle completely out of the water and lose your collected smoke.
11. Remove the foil bowl: Once the bottle chamber is filled with smoke, carefully remove the aluminum foil bowl while keeping your other hand over the bottle’s opening to avoid losing any smoke.
12. Inhale the smoke: Place your mouth over the opening of the bottle and take a deep breath while slowly pressing down on the submerged part of the bottle. This will cause a rush of accumulated smoke to be dispensed towards your lungs.
13. Exhale and enjoy: Exhale smoothly after drawing in all the smoke and enjoy the effects of your makeshift gravity bong.
In conclusion, gravity bongs provide an enjoyable and powerful smoking experience with little effort or investment required. Give it a try, and remember to always use responsibly and within your local laws.
