back to basics-macgyvers thread

what up....been smokin for a good while. also had many nice glass pipes and bongs. between everything thats been lost, stolen, broken or left behind i cant even keep track. even lost my mini bong a couple days ago...who knows?

man i had some fun as a kid rigging some crazy 420 shit together. trying to turn anything into a bong. smoking apples, carrots, turrnips and all kinds.

so today i made a bong out of a fiji bottle, glass bowl, and an O ring. let me say this thing hits like a champ! coughed for days and my mouth just stopped watering. i think my particular blaze of the moment is one of a kind, bc of the custom piece. airflow, timing, volume, all kinds of crazy physics at work.

for the longest time i would only use glass and shook my head at anybody who liked anything else. im on a macgyver quest to turn the industrial free world into my personal bong. i gotta be free. glass will break and shit will get lost. in todays world it makes sense to be a 420 mechanic.

i cant let a piece own me, cant always have the same high. this time the herb hit me toward the jaw-but it usually gets me in the back of the neck! from now on it will be a different blaze everyday.

any of you guys got favorite equipment? time for me to brush up on some science. today im gonna go from apples to water bottles straight to milk-jug gravities in a 5 gal bucket:D ..::~peace~::..

absolutely. Making bongs is so much fun, especially when youre done and you get to try it out. I once made a hookah out of a jar, a waterbottle, a metal stem from a broken bong and some aquarium tubing. It hit so fucking great, used it for like 2 straight weeks

Nice to see another "bong mechanic" around
I love to make bongs/pipes out of anything. Im always looking for interesting bottles, vases,
jars, whatever to make into a bong. I can't find a very good bowl other than a socket which is what i usually use

edit: i never use store bought bowls
i have one for my only store bought bong but i prefer to smoke out of something completely home made

I'm the same way. I make shit all the time. I'm always looking for little parts and tubes etc that could be used. :p

I dont make bongs but my mate does all the time its amazing what he comes up with.

get this...

He made one out of a polished wooden digeridoo piece cut down to size and a coffee jar.

I dont usually smoke bongs but i had a hit out of that and it was awesome cough my ring up but i was stoned as afterwards. :D

When I was yonuger I made a different bong or smoking contraption almost eveyr weekend. One day my mom will find my mad stash of soda bottles and paintball containers with holes in them and be very confused, well probably not she knows I'm a stoner and I like to create.

hell everytim i look at something i think of ways to turn it into a bong, i love doing it because when they work i feel a real sense of accomplishment

Making, and then hitting, your own bong/pipe is awesome. I still love your fine store-bought glass piece, but it's definitely not as rewarding. Right now, I have this bowl/stem that I made from a pen and some old socket or something, and I just plug it into whatever bottle's available.

My friend made a homemade triple chamber bong out of three gatorade bottles and some aquarium tubing. The coolest part of it was that the stem connected to an apple as a bowl which could be replaced every time. Unfortunately it didn't work that well for some reason but it was still sweet.
