<\/div>\n

A traditional glass bong<\/a> is arguably one of the most satisfying ways to smoke cannabis, perhaps only rivaled by the classic joint<\/a>. Today, bongs come in a variety of materials, shapes, and sizes and range in design from purely functional to artistic, smokeable sculptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beloved and ubiquitous in cannabis culture, there are countless reasons why the bong is so prevalent and why many people opt to engineer homemade bongs for themselves. Convenience and novelty play a role in the popularity of homemade bongs, and you can utilize everyday items easily found or bought at your local corner store or gas station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if there's one thing cannabis lovers are known for, it's their ability to find ingenious and inventive ways to smoke out of almost anything. Homemade bongs encourage ingenuity and present a fun challenge and experience that allows you to be creative and make something functional that won't blow your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: although homemade bongs are handy and relatively easy to build, they often need to be disposed of or recycled after a few uses. They're a great option best suited for when there's no other or better way to smoke \u2014 or if you just want to switch things up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water bottle bong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first and most beloved example of a homemade bong is the water bottle bong. These are pretty simple to make and are essentially what they sound like: a bong made out of a water bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has the same basic construction as a regular bong and tends to work just as well. Realistically, any sized plastic bottle can be turned into a bong, but the traditional 17-ounce size works best. While convenient in a pinch, it's best to dispose of it after a couple of uses and recycle the appropriate components as water bottle bongs tend to have a short life and aren't sturdy enough or recommended for daily use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
