welp, a pic would be super-helpful, but oh well...

first off, there should be no way for air to enter the bong except through the bowl, or through the suck-hole (mouthpiece) so, seal the bowl with your thumb, palm, whatever and suck as hard as you can. you should not get any air in your lungs, since the hole is plugged (and if its a pop bottle, the sides will crumple inwards due to the vacuum). if air is leaking in, you have a hole to patch.

next, make sure that the tube (I mean from the bowl to the bit that goes under the water) is airtight, especially around the base of the bowl...somehow I think it might be the gum. try using some hotglue, or even duct tape if you think you're handy enough...

then, make sure that when you suck on the mouthpiece, you get bubbles in the water; you might need a longer tube/more water...


also, if its plastic tubing inside the bong, be sure to put a screen on the bowl! burning weed will melt the plastic, making the whole bong taste like a baboon's inflamed anus (if the baboon had been inserting melted plastic into its ass)
DrGonzo Reviewed by DrGonzo on . Bong help I woke up this morning and was tired of not being able to get a bong. I decides to make one and it came out real nice. I used a 2 liter bottle, some tubing, gum, and a 5/8 socket wrench head as the bowl. Since i wont have any weed to later on in the day i wanted to try my bong so i used tobacco. I put some water in the bong and backed the bowl with tabacco. when i was sucking on the top of the bottle trying to fill it with smoke all the smoke was going staright into my lungs.
