The coolest looking homemade bong...

  1. Wish I had pics to go along with this. Something I invented back in the early 80's and cheap & easy to make if you have a gas stove. We called them the "Aliens"! lol...this whole process takes about 30-45 minutes.

    You take a 100 ft roll of clear plastic wrap , lay it on the floor and unroll about 10 ft or so of it. Then put drops of food coloring on it about 3-4 inches apart all over the rolled out part. Now roll it back up tight.

    Wear gloves for this next part and use a wooden spoon handle inside the roll to hold the roll over a lit gas burner on your stove a few inches above the heat. Turn the roll constantly so it gets hot but doesn't scorch the plastic. You're fusing the plastic together all down the length of the roll.

    Start on one end and heat it while turning till you see the plastic turns clear down to the cardboard. As you work your way down the tube you'll notice how the outer part with the coloring ridges up into vein looking strata and keeps the color with it.

    It bubbles and pops a little while fusing but just keep going and by the time you get close to your hand end you can flip it around for the finish. If you did a good job, all the plastic will be completely fused together solid.

    Now run cold faucet water all over and inside to cool it and soak the cardboard inside. When it's cool, you can get hold of the cardboard inside where it comes together and the whole thing will twist out with a pull. Now you have a cool looking colored plastic tube that looks like some Alien thing.

    You can use different colors in the first step in rows and the colors will run and fuse together giving a rainbow effect.

    Now cut a piece of plastic from a milk jug big enough to cover one end and lay it on the stove next to the burner so it gets warm. Hold and turn one end of your Alien tube over the heat till it gets clear...just the very end...and press it onto the milk jug piece. This will stick it fairly well but not permanent. Trim with blade or sharp scissors to fit. You want to use a propane torch or lighter along the seam just enough to fuse the pieces together permanently.

    Now get the feel of your new Alien Bong to see where to place the stem and carb holes. Heat your bowl stem a little so it will cut a perfect hole but not melt too much around the hole...stick it through and pull it out! Now hold the tube over the burner a bit just to heat the area of the hole, stick the stem straight in and adjust it so it goes at the desired angle. The heated plastic will move and conform to the angle, cool and become a permanent, airtight stem hole. Now cut a like carb hole on which ever side you prefer.

    A toilet bowl brush, cut one side and straightened out make a good cleaner with some 70% rubbing alcohol or whatever you prefer.

    You now have a unique, beautiful Alien Bong to impress your buds and will have hours of trippin enjoyment just sitting stoned and staring at it. They also make a cool flower vase for your mom without the holes, lol! Back then they sold for $20...who knows today? I might have to fire up the stove:D

    Disclaimer...I'm not responsible for you burning yourself. Try at your own risk and use common sense. Fire burns...melted plastic burns...wear gloves and pay attention all the time.
