Seeing some recent posts about pipes and bongs, and the odd events that can happen when using them, I thought it would be great to hear what kind of smoking pipes or bongs you’ve enjoyed...or hated. Swallow a cherry...check. Freeze lips to a glass bottle...check.
My dreaded bong was something we called an “aqua-lung”. It involved:
- a large pop/soda bottle (2 liter) with the bottom cut off
- large pail of water that is deep enough for the full height of the 2l bottle
- cap for bottle with a small hole in the middle to hold a joint
- fat joint
Hitting “the lung” steps:
- prepare the cap by inserting the lit joint into the hole in the cap. Joint to the outside.
- submerse the bottle (no cap yet) down into the pail of water so that only the neck of the bottle is still above the water.
- twist cap onto the bottle and start to slowly lift the bottle up. This creates suction in the bottle and draws smoke from the joint. Filling the bottle. The key part is to NOT lift the bottom of the bottle out of the water.
- remove the joint and cap
- exhale deeply then put mouth on bottle and quickly push the bottle down into the water. Be careful not to do it too fast or too quickly, you might rupture a lung. And never let anybody slam a persons head down while they are taking a hit...could be fatal.
The blast of nothing but pure smoke into the lungs is massively cough inducing, but the blast from it is enough to have made me “green-out”. And I was no lightweight at smoking.
Never touched that damn contraption again. 🤣
