1. The Classic Apple Bong 🍏
Ah, the apple bong – it’s like the Swiss Army knife of fruit-based smoking devices. Simple, effective, and you get a healthy snack afterward (if you’re into that sort of thing).
What You’ll Need:
- A medium-sized apple
- A pen or a small knife
- Aluminum foil (optional)
Steps:
- Core the Apple: Start by removing the stem. Then, using your pen or knife, carefully bore a hole from the top (where the stem was) about halfway through the apple.
- Create the Bowl: Now, make another hole on the side of the apple that intersects with the first hole. This will be your bowl.
- Optional Foil Bowl: If you want a more defined bowl, mold a small piece of aluminum foil into a bowl shape and place it over the side hole.
- Mouthpiece and Carb: Make a third hole on the other side for your mouthpiece. If you like, add a carb on the opposite side of the bowl.
- Enjoy: Pack your bowl, light it up, and inhale from the mouthpiece. Voilà!
2. Candy Pipe Dream: The Starburst Bong 🍬
For those with a sweet tooth, this one’s a treat! Plus, it’s as colorful as it is fun to make.
What You’ll Need:
- A pack of Starburst candies (choose your favorite flavors)
- A small knife or skewer
Steps:
- Unwrap and Stack: Unwrap those Starbursts. Stack them into a tower, sticking them together firmly.
- Form the Tunnel: Use your knife or skewer to create a vertical tunnel through the center of your Starburst tower.
- Create the Bowl: Halfway down the tower, make a horizontal hole that connects to the vertical tunnel. This will be your bowl.
- Assemble and Smoke: Once your structure is stable, pack the bowl, light it, and puff away through the top of the tower.
