Damn fine two dollar bong
Forums:
Come across some lab glassware. Paid a dollar for the rubber stopper, $.39 for the hose. Had the stem and bowl. Bored the carb hole with a diamond Dremell bit.
Damn fine little bong. KILLER!
Works for me.

That bong looks like it could be bad for your long-term health, Jaz.
Maybe just roll a joint and focus your engineering prowess elsewhere. I say that with love.

Why thank you very much for
Why thank you very much for the concern. A bong is the first thing I thought of when I aquired the assorted labware. I took about ten minutes to make and a minute to crush the ice.
What are your thoughts on homemade Bamboo bongs, Mark.

You know Jaz, I'm honestly more of a bubbler guy.
I will say that I constructed a very similar contraption to the one in your pictures using a special edition Skippy peanut butter jar shaped like a chipmunk back in the day. That thing kicked like a mule.

I probably should've checked out that movie after you threw that pic at me and Brian, but no, I haven't seen it, Slax.
Are we missing out? It looks ridiculous. I'm reading it as a put-down.

Gravy is a good example of somebody who very likely did some permanent damage smoking weed off of plastic and metal.

I always thought these(his) images were some sort of personal reminiscences of individual youth,Gravytrain.
Some of mine are. Making that bong reminded me of around 1971/72ish discoverys.
That is ,I guess, why I started the thread.

I think you're doing good work here, Jaz. Your pics definitely took me back to my early bong engineering triumphs.
As a friend, I just don't want you inadvertently getting a blast of a carcinogen with your bong load.

I have seven screws, two rods and two cages implanted on my spine made of titanium. They have made my life easier.
My thoughts on titanium nails would be along the same lines as metric angles.
Your thoughts?

The first time I smoked through water was about that time. My buddy had made a bong out of a tennis ball can with a stem made out of the waxed cardboard tube sometimes found on the bottom of a wire coat hanger and a piece of aluminum foil for a screen. The weed, of course, needed its seeds and stems removed before we smoked it.

This is the lab glass I acquired. This is a third of what was left after I gave a friend of mine who owns two of those Halloween stores. Lot's o' all Pyrex. He is going to set up Mad Scientist displays next year. He looks the part.
Pondering on what to do with the glass.
Glass weld a Glass Tin Man together might look cool.
The large syringes make a good squirt gun or turkey baster.

Hoover, I want to say carb because the stem was secured to the can with some duct tape, as I recall, but I'm not convinced we were that sophisticated.

I find no fault with that
I find no fault with that budget Hookah, other than the metal bowl/stem device. Of course you know for certain none of that stuff ever had any funky toxic reagents in it.
You could easily locate a replacement stem in borosilicate glass for just a few bucks. (Boro = Pyrex / Kimax etc.)
The machined brass or aluminium combustion bits are really outdated, as it can't be too healthy to heat that stuff and potentially inhale traces of metals and their oxides. Of course someone will explain that the Titanium "nails" are safe due to sooper-high combustion temps or such.

Brings back fond memories of jr high, along with corncob pipes, bamboo bongs, those screw together metal pipes that resin-ated the stash in the stem, and eventually the US Bongs and round glassToker I and II. And album covers and the big rolling paper in Cheech and Chong record.
And didn't you read in that other thread that there is only a 33.3% chance that that shit will fuck you up, cancer-wise? Knock out the hereditary factor, and you're probably ok to go...if you like those odds.

We used to line the inside with wax then when dirty melt the wax with hot water,pour it out and put fresh wax in.

In 7th & 8th grade I would make pipes/bowls out of Apples & Pears that were in my brown lunch bag.
I was reminded about this at my High School reunion a few years back.

Btw, everyone should be using
Btw, everyone should be using hot water in their bong instead of ice. Hot air holds more moisture, so the hit will be moister, and less of the smoke will cling to the inside of the bong.
Try it!
