When I was digging out my bong for a post a while ago I got to thinking. Did you guys have “power hitters”? If I remember right you could buy them in the head shop but we always made them, take a mustard squeeze bottle and put a brass fitting to hold the joint and burn a hole in the side for a carburetor.

I've made 6 or 8 of them over the years but it's been a while. I'd have to build a XXL version for the joints I blaze now. -
Oat Willie's Power Hitter loved those back in the day. Back in either 76 or 77 I made my first one of these for smoking Hash but that's a whole nother story.

I love the dew can. We always put a straight pin through a folded piece of foil and put it in a coke cap and sat a quart jar over it and you slide the jar barely off the table and sucked the smoke. Your method is so much better, our way my buddy bout killed him self by standing up to fast after bending over for a giant snort and standing up to fast. -
Man we were just talking about those we loved our power hitter LOL

I was 16 and living with relatives in 1979 in CA, Bay area. They grew pot in the backyard in a greenhouse. They had a red one of these things. First time I smoked was with a power hitter. Then we watched Midnight Express and it freaked me out.
My aunt and uncle were childless and there is probably a good reason why, lol.Comment

That sounds like a variation of what we know as a gravity bong. -
Over here we call it a gravity bong and I'm still the 3 Liter Champ! I can't get 3 Liter bottles anymore I don't think but I can get 2.5 and maybe the tall 2.75 liters. I've often thought about buying a Grav Labs Gravitron glass version but I don't think it's big enough. If they built a XXL version equivalent to 2.5-3L I would buy it.

Before I knew much much better, I built a homemade ice bong out of a plastic tennis ball canister. I used aquarium air tubing out the top for inhaling and for connecting a hash pipe to the body of the canister. I'd fill it with ice only. I'd pack a bowl, connect the pipe, then hold my finger over the carb hole at top and pull until the canister was full then let the ice do its job. I then let my finger off the carb hole in the lid and cleared the chamber. It worked great. Only trouble is all that off-gassing from the plastic couldn't have been good for me.
I also made a few homemade pinch hitters from old diesel injector lines. All I had to do was cut them to length then bore out one end with a drill press then bevel the edges a bit. If only I had the wood shop skills back then to make a dugout I could've had the whole kit!Coconut Grove
