HomeMade Made Easy: Easy Bubbler Technique

HandyCriminal · #1 (**permalink**) 10-03-2008, 09:45 PM

Hey all,

As requested, here's the instructional How To for making your own bubbler/hybrid chamber bong. I know that sounds really complex, but it's easy as pie and you can impress all your friends with your stoner creativity.

Materials:
One (at least) Chamber with a tapered neck [Choose your favorite glass bottle!]
3/8" clear vinyl tubing suitable for water applications [Hardware store, plumbing dept.]
3/4" to 3/8" air/water tube converter [See images for comparison, again Hardware store]
1/4" tubing [Optionally used for mouth tube]
Poster Tac re-usable adhesive tac, I like the white stuff. Make sure it's non-toxic! [Office Supply]

Here's all the materials I'll be using laid out.

This is the bowl piece I use. The thin side fits a 3/8" tube.

Here it is fit into a tube I just cut

Ready to being the tube layout.

It's VERY important to get the layout just how you want it for holding it. If you're right handed, I suggest that the carb is on the right side of the bowl, but find whatever arrangement suits you the best.

Here's my tubes as I have them laid out.

Start to wrap the tubes together, careful not to let them slip out of arrangement, with the poster tac, wrap it up until it's held firmly and then jam the whole thing into the tapered neck of the chamber, the adhesive tac forms a solid seal.

Here you can see my new bubbler from the top down, as it's already inserted

Toke on!

Comments are much appreciated!

Is that "adhesive tac" epoxy? If so, I wouldnt want to inhale that.

No, it's a non-toxic adhesive, you could eat the stuff and I think you'd just poop it out. Not an epoxy, this stuff stays somewhat stiff and pliable forever, even when exposed to heat, water, air, etc

you can use whatever you want, I can do another set of instructions on how to make the same thing using any glass bottle with a flat bottom and a plastic bottle cap instead of the adhesive tac, it's very convenient in a pinch

looks like the same parts i used on my stuff, 3/8 vinyl tubing and a brass barb to threaded end.

and actually you could use a lightbulb for the bottom piece if you didnt have anything laying around...

A lightbulb, I suppose so, although I would worry about cleaing the inside thoroughly before smoking, plus the glass is very, very thin and could break easily if mishandled.

Do you ever see those little Orangina bottles? Those are perfect.

Dude, can anyone tell me what the hell I can use for a glass container? I'm clueless. Everything else I can buy at a local hardware store but the glass container stumps me...

Wine Bottle, Beer Bottle, IBC Rootbeer Bottle, Jones Soda Bottle, Old Fuze Bottles, flower vases, yankle candle jars(need tons of stick tac lol). Really, anything works as long as u can seal it up with sticky tack.
