Prefered piping for homemade bong

[flyinonice4]

metal or plastic?

[llamaman666]

metal would be preffered but MUCH harder unless you are good with welding or have a bunch of shit you can screw together to make a good one. Most (home made bongs) are plastic with some other material for the bowl. It must NOT be plastic. I think most have plastic basins, plastic or metal downstem and a metal bowl. A socket from a socket rench works well for a bowl. And a metal tube for downpipe and soda bottle for basin. It will be heavy so don't let it tip. ANd make sure you are using safe metals

yea i was gonna use a socket. So would u suggest a plastic or metal tube with the socket? Im gonna use a milk carton (you know the gallon plastic ones). So yea.

Metal tube, def.

For the chamber, see if you can't get some acrylic tube from a hardware store; if you can, it's worth it. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE PVC!!!

I have always used bamboo, 2"-6" O.D., short 1/8" brass pipe nipple, and a 1/8"-1/2" reducer brass.

The only thing i cant find oldhippie is the bamboo. Ive got the nipple and reducer but the bamboo i cant get. Ill just buy brass pipe, hopefully that will do.

O.D. is outside diameter. You should be able to find bamboo at craft stores, I would say go to your nearest swamp, but I noticed were you are from the desert. I have used old bamboo furniture too.

make sure u get a sealer for the bamboo or it will ROT and thats not good.

haha the best way to make homemade bongs is to just get really high with a friend and go to home depot and just spend hours walking around in there... you will find so much shit that you can smoke out of, and it is really fun lol
