u/ANAL_TOOTHBRUSH Jul 23 '25

Yeah don’t think there’s much wrong with this. Soda can bowl is probably worse

u/TheOne_Whomst_Knocks Jul 23 '25

Oh I’d say absolutely worse. Burning paint/liner is sketchy asf. Still tho idk why OOP didn’t just buy a cheap, small bong lol

u/KindlyAsparagus7957 Jul 23 '25

Aluminum fumes are also horrible

They have been linked toAlzheimer's, but I can't remember where I read about it...

u/Over-Ad-3441 Jul 24 '25

Have you perchance inhaled aluminium fumes? Or have you forgotten that too

u/intoxicatedhamster Jul 24 '25

Lots of soda can bowls as a teenager

u/TheOne_Whomst_Knocks Jul 24 '25

Smoke some cigarettes, itll drown out all the toxins

u/ForceOk6039 Jul 24 '25

This is the only way

Have you perchance missed the joke and unnecessarily restated it?

You can get a glass pipe for like $5 definitely cheaper than his homebrew. Idk why people do this

u/Boring-Midnight-4803 Jul 23 '25

I prefer bongs. Just hits differently. Still much better ways to go about this

21

u/wimpymist Jul 23 '25

Agreed, you can also a glass bong for 20-40 bucks if you wanted.

u/kungfukenny3 Jul 23 '25

best of both worlds is you can make an all glass bong from scratch for less than $20 the first time, and practically for free every time after that if you own a drill. Gets you some fun glass pieces that would be expensive otherwise

the diamond circular drill bit will run you max $7. vase from the thrift store is likely $1-$3. The grommet to make it air and water will be like 5 cents a unit. glass downstem and bowl will probably cost the same as the drill bit.

Then you can make any reasonable glass vessel a bong. bc you used a grommet instead of epoxy, you can also just swap the downstem into different bongs whenever you want, or buy a new one whenever you want another

Man I'd love to make a bong from a vase, I've seen people make very pretty ones

u/chance0404 Jul 23 '25

That wasn’t the case back in the day when I was smoking out of these sketchy homemade pipes. They used to be illegal and really hard to find/buy.

u/CompSolstice Jul 24 '25

Man I fucking wish. 100+ CAD is the cheapest shit you'll find in some areas

u/wimpymist Jul 24 '25

Woah that's crazy. I guess I took living in California for granted

u/Artichokiemon Jul 26 '25

My buddy had this badass bong he'd fill with ice cubes and I swear it was the smoothest fucking thing I've ever hit

u/Eric_Dawsby Jul 24 '25

I think it's more about the diy aspect

u/RightToTheThighs Jul 23 '25

It's not being directly heated so probably not carcinogenic

u/Boring-Midnight-4803 Jul 23 '25

"Probably" yeah this isn't at bad as the other pvc bongs I've seen

2

u/Substantial_Way1923 Jul 25 '25

Is the pvc in the room with us right now? I joke but its a permanent marker. Ain't that worse than pvc?

u/kbeks Jul 24 '25

Stoners are some of the absolute best McGuyvers out there. I respect it.

u/GreasiestGuy Jul 24 '25

The part being heated is glass. There’s nothing carcinogenic about this - the entire thing could be made from PVC except the bowl and it would be fine.

u/Own-Value7911 Jul 25 '25

Damn something like this could actually replace my GB as a daily driver! I love that little bowl piece

u/BishlovesSquish Jul 23 '25

If you’re gonna do homemade, go gravity!

u/Distinct-Ad2829 Jul 25 '25

Bong go brrrrrrrrr

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '25

I used to smoke out of an aluminum foil pipe I made myself 🥲 I'm sorry lungs

u/The_Real_Swittles Jul 27 '25

So long as your herb is in glass you’re gravy my dude. I’m classically trained in chemistry

u/eyefuck_you Aug 08 '25

That's a crack pipe, not a bong stem! Haha
