creative what else can I say. I've never tried to make a bong. But I did make a pipe out of ballpoint pen, a dime, and some electrical tape once. Yeah, it was funny looking but it did the job and served a purpose. I was living on a military base with my ex and I needed a bowl that I could throw away at any given moment. The day we moved, I bought a nice glass one and still have it today. You go man, see what weed does for you. They say it fries the brains cell. NOT, it makes you think more. LOL Have fun smoking and yeah, I would try and get something metal so you don't hurt yourself.
