my bong is finished

i found a nice vase while out shopping and couldnt help but imagine the bong this could be, its super heavy duty glass 1/4inch thick and about 24" high all she needed was a hole drilled for a downstem.

well this was easy as i work in a machine shop and all tools i needed were there, all i used was a simple drill bit and a drill press and drilled my hole, then went to the headshop and got a simple downstem/bowl setup to get me going for now.

plan on upgrading the bowl later but man is this thing a freaking lung buster :thumbsup: it delievers twice the hit my other bong does with zero throat burn, simply put this bong will hurt you :dance:

cost of vase- $4.87

downstem/bowl- $15.00

so for 19.87 i made a bong probly worth $150.00 :dance:

You didn't make that.

It's a nice bong though.

Don't lie. ~

dude.......lol hold up i have a pic of the drilled hole......

nah you didn't make that.
I saw your thread a long time ago but didn't say anything.
That "vase" design is exactly like what you could buy in a head shop.

hmmmm sharp edges.......all jagged.......i would hope they would do a better job than that at the glass blowers.........i dont lie i have zero reason too.

if you want the price tag is still on the bottom....want a pic of that too just incase?

you know i was sharing how easy it was i didnt think id be crucified for it..............

Lol you don't have to try and prove to us that you made it, because you didn't.
I've seen that spiral-design on so many glass bongs just like that. Drop the charade.
Some vase, eh? ~

dude i drilled a fucking hole not blow the glass are you a fucking idiot?

i belive him :p lol nice job btw :D

honestly where can you buy a vase that looks like that, with the blue and white washed out look and the spiral handle up the side, besides a head shop

Is that a Pier1 vase? Looks like a style they'd have.

well thank you i hope atleast someone can take this info and use it, it took maybe an hour to drill it i started using a 1/8th inch drill and worked my way up every single size untill the downstems rubber gromet fit snug.

Pier1, Kohls and lots of places right now.
The 50's-60's retro look is in big time right now.

That was another thought I had.... Burlington or World Market.

I bet you could make some serious bucks on those. You don't need to mention your cost to buyers. Charge at least $50.00

i might go back for the taller one of the same color and give it away to a friend cause i know everyone is going to want it

I know you're not lying. It was darn nice of you to let cann members on to this wonderful creation.

hang on, my friend is on Letterman right now

u should make em and sell em....i would...u spent like $20 on that u could sell it to a firend for $60-$70

if it isnt fake, how about you post a picture of the vase before drillin any hole. i mean if you took a picture of it with the hole drilled into it without the piece to hold the slide surely you were took a picture before you drilled that. please show it, because that looks suspiciously like many many bongs i have seen and not like many vase i have seen. after all you can remove the piece to hold the slide on any bong but there arent holes in vases. please prove yourself. a lot of people dont have a reason to lie on here but do anyway, we have seen fake blunts, apparently every other kid smokes with their parents here, apparently every fifteen year old kid can get good bud for next to nothing, and apparently some of the best looking weed in the world is mids to them

job well done invision

That's a nice way to start up a bizz. Word of mouth and "the wants " will sell them.:thumbsup:

All he had to do was cut the hole. invision posted when he bought the vase. We've been waiting for the finished product. :)

It's a beautiful bong, Invision, and it makes perfect sense to me that a glass company could mass-market those as vases for the people who aren't as infatuated with smoking our beloved plant and drilled and equipped as bongs for headshop retailers. It wouldn't surprise me if there were some lamps someplace, too, that have that very same base.

I need someone who can drill a small hole into a thick glass bottle here in the Dallas area. . . . I have a full bottle of cologne that lost its spray top when it fell off the dresser. It's full of my favorite fragrance, but I cant get to it. What sort of machine shop would have tools that could do that?

cost of vase- $4.87

downstem/bowl- $15.00

Having a bunch of people question your credibility over a bong? Priceless

i hate faggots that doubt ppl...its annoying.. u may think theres no vases like that but ive seen some...actually in some simple places like ROSS and such..they had vases like that...

anyways...good work on the bong...looks awesome!

What you think you are seeing.............you're not really seeing.

when i see a picture of it without the hole, i will believe it. dont act like it isnt justified to not trust people on here half the members are lying little kids who are insecure and try to make up for it by looking cool online. im not accusing him of it, but i dont believe things on here unless it is from a long time member or there is concrete proof, and i think thats fair

Hi,how are you doing?
Almost any shop with tools can do that for you. Send it here and I'll do it.

lol....yup

LOL no it not shit.....damn i never did really notice that.......fucking camrea

i am going to go see if they have anymore and buy it because i didnt take a pic of the vase before hand but i will go back for the taller one if the have it.

and to everyone else thanks it really wasnt hard you just have to go really easy and slow on the glass.
Birdgirl- i work in a grinding shop there is nothing fancy about my drill press or the drills i used, if you cant trust someone with it and they are sure they can do it then have it done i cant imagine it would cost you much, i personally would charge no more than 20.00 but i can imagine someone who does it all the time and do it in 15min versus my hour.

Did I read that right? LOL, don't charge birdgirl. I wouldn't. Friends do for friends.:thumbsup:

BUT sell those bongs for a hefty price cuz that is way different. YKWIM?
