Is it glass?

If you're willing to fuck up a drill tip you could stick that in there and drill it at like half speed so as not to crack the glass, it might shred off some glass

use sandpaper or diamond bits.  don't risk jamming something in there and cracking the glass.  A good method would be to roll some sandpaper around a wooden dowel (metal if you have to, just make sure it's way smaller than the hole) then insert this into a drill then start reaming the hole out.
 
-the most important thing to remember when modifying glass is that patience is #1, utmost important thing to stress.  take at least twice as long as you anticipate.

 

Agreed yeah that's probably your best bet man^

Number one rule. Don't just buy a piece because it looks cool. Whenever I go looking for a new piece, I look for a few things. Most importantly, the holes: the carb, the hole in the bottom of the bowl, and the mouthpiece. Too small, and it'll be a pain to hit, too big and the hits will be a bit rough, and you might get Scoobies. Also, check the size of the bowl. The bigger the better. Even if you won't fill it up all the way, it's nice when smoking with friends.

Next most important factor is the thickness of the glass. Obviously too thin and it will shatter.

Next comes design. Some glass bowls are just gutted and the whole thing fills with smoke-which I prefer. Some bowls have awesome designs, but are like solid pieces of glass with a small tunnel for the smoke to go through, which just fuckin sucks.

Another thing I look at, is the way it feels in the hand. Sometimes the glass blower likes to put these small glass pieces on a bowl. (Like a small sized marble glued on) and sometimes they get in the way.


AND LASTLY, I look at the design. But functionality and practicality are way more important than looks.

 

Haha, a roll stopper
Those pesky marbles!

 

yea, for sure! Good luck and post a picture of your piece when you get it!

 

thats what those are?! That makes sense haha but sometimes they put them near the carb, or just really bad spots that make it awkward to handle. Random question and I don't want to create a new thread. By any chance, what screen do you think would be best for bong? When I don't use a screen, the weed just gets sucked through the downstem. And I've used brass screens before and they're okay, but I've heard glass are better. Any thoughts? If thats not an area of your expertise then just ignore that question haha

 

yea that's what I'm doing haha. They're mad cheap too

 

Well, the last bong I owned was a 2 foot multi perc prescribed bong and i used a grav bowl. At least i think thats what they're called, that bowl had a very nice built in screen, i could actually pack snappers, very efficient

 

what does a built in screen look like? I've never heard of it

 

nice! I like that mini chamber?

 

At the bottom of the bowl, the pieces went in a cross hatch pattern #, if that makes any sense. Lik
