Create the Chamber
1. Prepare the bottle: Cut the bottom off the bottle, leaving a hole about 2-3 inches in diameter. This will be the chamber.
2. Make the socket hole: On the side of the bottle, about 2/3 of the way up from the bottom, use a drill or sharp object to make a hole that is slightly larger than the diameter of the socket.
3. Connect the socket: Insert the socket into the hole and seal it firmly with duct tape or hot glue. Make sure the seal is airtight to ensure a proper vacuum.

| 2-liter plastic bottle | 1 |
| 1/2-inch socket | 1 |
| Duct tape or hot glue | As needed |
| Drill or sharp object | 1 |
Seal the Bowl
Properly sealing the bowl is crucial to creating an effective gravity bong. Follow these steps to ensure a leak-proof seal:
Gather Necessary Materials
- Fine-grained grinding herb
- Small bowl piece
- Plastic socket
- Gaffer’s tape
Prepare the Socket
- Create small holes in the bottom of the socket using a needle or sharp object.
- Insert the bowl piece into the socket, ensuring it fits snugly.
- Wrap gaffer’s tape around the base of the bowl and socket several times to create an airtight seal.
Load the Herb
- Grind the herb finely using a grinder or scissors.
- Pack the ground herb into the bowl piece, pressing it down firmly.
Secure the Seal
- Place the socket-bowl assembly over the end of the bottle or bucket.
- Press down firmly to create a tight seal between the socket and the bottle.
- Check for any leaks by slightly lifting the socket. If there are leaks, tighten the seal with more gaffer’s tape.
Additional Tips
- Use a clean socket to prevent any odors or chemicals from contaminating the smoke.
- Experiment with different bowl shapes and sizes to find what works best for you.
- Replace the gaffer’s tape regularly to ensure a proper seal.

Assemble the Lid
Now let’s assemble the lid. This will form the “head” of your gravity bong and will hold the bowl in place.
- Cut a hole in the lid. Use a sharp knife to cut a hole in the lid that is slightly larger than the bowl. The hole should be centered on the lid.
- Place the bowl in the hole. The bowl should fit snugly into the hole, so that there is no air leaks. If the hole is too big, you can use some tape or putty to seal it around the bowl.
- Insert the stem into the lid. The stem is the part of the gravity bong that connects the lid to the bottle. It should be long enough to reach from the hole in the lid to just below the surface of the water in the bottle.
- Seal the lid onto the bottle. Use a few pieces of tape or some putty to seal the lid onto the bottle. Make sure that the seal is airtight, so that no air can leak out of the bottle.
Tips for Assembling the Lid
Here are a few tips for assembling the lid of your gravity bong:
| Tip | Description |
|---|---|
| Use a sharp knife to cut the hole in the lid. | A dull knife will make a jagged hole that could cause air leaks. |
| Make sure the bowl fits snugly into the hole. | If the bowl is too loose, air will leak out and the gravity bong will not work properly. |
| Insert the stem into the lid before sealing it onto the bottle. | This will help to ensure that the stem is aligned properly and that there are no air leaks. |
| Seal the lid onto the bottle tightly. | Air leaks will prevent the gravity bong from working properly. |
Inhale the Smoke
Now that your gravity bong is assembled, it’s time to inhale the smoke. Here’s how:
- Inhale through the mouthpiece, pulling the bottle up slowly.
- As the bottle rises, the smoke will fill the chamber.
- Continue inhaling until the bottle is completely upside down.
- Hold the bottle upside down for a moment, allowing the smoke to cool slightly.
- Slowly exhale the smoke.
- Repeat steps 1-5 to take another hit.
Tips for Inhaling the Smoke:
Here are a few tips to help you inhale the smoke from a gravity bong smoothly and effectively:
- Inhale slowly and steadily.
- Don’t try to inhale too much smoke at once.
- Hold the smoke in your lungs for a few seconds before exhaling.
- If you start to feel lightheaded, stop inhaling and take a break.
- Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
| Tip | Description |
|---|---|
| Inhale slowly and steadily | This will help you avoid coughing and choking. |
| Don’t try to inhale too much smoke at once | This can lead to coughing, choking, and dizziness. |
| Hold the smoke in your lungs for a few seconds before exhaling | This will allow your body to absorb more of the THC. |
| If you start to feel lightheaded, stop inhaling and take a break | This is a sign that you have inhaled too much smoke. |
| Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated | This will help to prevent dry mouth and throat. |
