Never dabbled with steamrollers but am interested in making a homemade one. After looking up stuff on youtube (how to make one/how to hit one) it seems to be very similar to a bong with just a larger carb and no water. Is it because of the larger carb that the smoke gets 'shotgunned' into your lungs at a faster rate? I was watching a vid on a Roor steamroller and it looked dirty as balls (in a good way, it was...phat lol) but almost identical to a bong with no rounded base. Currently i only have one piece and i always like using multiple devices during a session. Should I go ahead and make a steamroller? heres that roor video (the music in the video is turrible, you are forewarned lol) if i were to make one it would be with a large carb, not a slide piece https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA7U3yCS6tg
you usually hold a finger or hand at the end of the steamroller, a bong you usually pull the glass slide. screw dry pieces though, unless your out and about
Over a year ago when I only had one piece to smoke from I broke the downstem to my bottle bong. I was forced to smoke it without any water. Pretty much was like hitting a steam roller.
Am making one now, screwed up the first 2 bottles, now am trying it with a container that has a removeable lid, will post a vid to show how it went
not good advice, pvc pipe is a bad thing to be inhaling hot smoke through. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Steamroller has an insanely huge hole at the end vs the hole of a small slider. The effect this causes is the smoke is 'shotgunned' into you at a large speed. Steamrollers are amazing. Bongs on the other hand are Meant to have water, to cool the smoke.
use a cardboard toilet paper role tube or a towel role tube. you can fold the end so its kinda flat then carefully carve a hole that will allow your socket to fit snuggly into it. can also flatten out the bottom a little bit so its more stable. if you have a glass bowl use that in place of the socket. this will be easier, cheaper and safer than using a pvc pipe. if you like the feel of the steamroller you can buy a nicer glass one, hipe this helps Sent from my SCH-I535 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
good ole 90s longest steamroller i smoked out of was around 6 ft..someone made one from a glass cow milking tube and you needed another person and a book to cover the end..was pretty brutal when someone else controls your hit size
basically the same thing. its a bong that wasnt meant to have water in it Sent from my iPod touch using Grasscity Forum
So after having three failed attempts at making a steamroller, I have settled on a decent size pill bottle steamroller. Was easy as dirt to make, I thought the thicker plastic of a pill bottle would be difficult to manipulate, but once I put the flame to the bottle and wedged the socket/bowl in, it created an airtight suction (i am extremely anal about airleaks in homemade pieces). First time hitting it was like slighlty difficult but after the 2nd session with it, I milked it up and got a phat hit, hot smoke wasnt as irritating as my Gandalf-like pipe back up in Pensacola (only other dry piece). Will upload a vid of a phat hit later
Bro make one the cool way with bamboo! Just do the same thing you did except with bamboo and it's way better and that's how pandas would smoke if they could. Wouldn't you wanna smoke like a panda? I Smoke weed 4/20-7 😎
Lol bowls at the wrong end of the piece. It's supposed to be closer to the carb then your mouth Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
yeah you screwed that one up. And if that bowl gets hot enough, you will be inhaling melted plastic fumes.
