Precautions to Take When Making Smoking Devices

Before you proceed with the steps, it is important to note that making smoking devices involves, well, some risks. So you need to ensure your safety and that of all those involved. Therefore, when you start with your DIY smoking process, safety precautions need to be taken seriously. Here are some of the safety precautions you must take:

Do Not Use Plastics Where Not Specified: It's pretty obvious why using plastic is such a bad idea, it melts, and it's pretty toxic when the fumes are inhaled. You can use a plastic container to hold the smoke, but the bowl has to be metal or non-plastic. 

Use Sturdy and Safe Materials: When you are improvising, remember to always ensure your safety. Thus, the materials you are using must be safe to use and not capable of causing the slightest harm. You can choose to quickly screen your materials when selecting them because it helps you make the right choice.

Creating a Smoking Device with Household Items

Creating a smoking device with household items is very easy if the proper steps are followed. There are numerous settings, with a plethora of different devices in which to make your smoking device. However, you only need sturdy household items. The following sections will explain the steps required in creating your very own DIY smoke kit!

1. Gravity Bong

In our opinion, gravity bongs sound really cool! Aside from that, they are really effective too. If you're trying to toke up, a gravity bong will literally bring you down-to-earth.

To create a gravity bong, you'll need a 2-liter bottle and a giant plastic jug. Once you get this, fill it with water until it is a quarter of the way full. After this, get your water bottle and cut away the bottom of the bottle. When done, poke a hole through the bottle cap with aluminum foil. Now it's time for the fun part. Gather your weed and pack it into the foil while simultaneously pressing down the bottle into the water. Once you light up your weed, slowly lift the bottle and let gravity do the rest.

2. Apple Pipes

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Apple pipes are great alternatives to papers, and they are one of the most straightforward smoking devices you can make.

This method involves getting a ripe apple and making sure it is firm enough to take the smoke and heat. Next, poke with a pencil from the top, where the stem is, all through the middle. Make sure you don't take it all the way through. This hole is to be used for your bowl. With the same pencil, make a hole perpendicular to the first one, such that they meet in the middle. 

The holes will make an 'L' inside the apple. You then blow through one of the holes and ensure the other is well-connected. It also helps to clear the smoke path of any chunks and bits. 

Another hole will be made on the other side of the apple, following the same process of meeting in the middle. This particular hole will act as a rush, so make sure it's in a spot where your finger can reach while you hit it. Finally, take a knife or a blade to carve a bowl on the top of the apple, where we made our first hole. The concluding result will be a delightful smoking device made from fruits and vegan certified!

3. Water Bottle Bong

The water bottle bong is probably among the cheapest ways to smoke your weed. However, it is not the healthiest DIY smoking device because the heat can melt the plastic. 

First, grab a lighter and a relatively clean and empty plastic bottle. Then burn two holes into the surface, one on the bottom near the under-lip and the second at the top. It is similar to the apple pipe; just light up your weed with your finger over the carb, then you are good to go.

4. Toilet Paper Steamrollers

You will need an empty toilet roll or a kitchen towel roll for this one. Basically, anything cylindrical. First, make a hole with a pen or screwdriver about a quarter way from one end. 

This is where your bowl will be placed. To make a bowl, use aluminum foil and mold it into a conical shape. Once this is done, use a safety pin to poke very tiny holes in the bowl. Now place your aluminum bowl in the hole that you had carved. To seal the hole, use tape or blue-tack. Your smoking accomplice is ready.

5. Empty Cigarettes

Empty cigarettes are probably not the best way to light up a joint. But if you need to smoke a blunt, you can resort to this unlikely method. Emptying a cigarette of tobacco isn't that difficult. All you have to do is whirl it between your fingers, the motion is similar to when trying to get a feel of a piece of fabric that caught your eye.

It takes a bit of time but you'll eventually get all the tobacco out. Once you're done with this step, you will need to fill in the tobacco. This is the tricky part. One rule of thumb is that you shouldn't break or grind the bud with your hands. This will cause sticky fingers and large chunks which, in the end, won't enter your cig.

Grind your weed with a grinder and once it achieves a fine texture find a funnel. This will help you transfer your weed without wasting an ounce.
