The ten best (and also worst) homemade bongs

MacGyver.
Instead of the product review we usually run in this spot, we're getting back to our roots and taking a look at the creative ways that people make bongs out of household objects. These are the true Stoner MacGyvers of the world. Below are our ten favorite homemade bongs on the internet that we would (probably) never smoke out of.

10. The Box Bong
It looks like someone duct-taped together a few plexiglass pieces and put a Big Gulp straw on the other end. But it utilized duct tape, so it had to be included. No doubt the amount of water this thing takes makes it feel like chugging a bong hit out of a bathtub.

9. The "Matrix"
This is basically three water bottles interconnected and duct-taped to a blue plastic main chamber. Though the complexity is there, this thing looks more like a biological weapon than a water pipe.

8. OJ Bottle with Ash Catcher
What makes this stand out is the nice blown-glass bowl its owner drilled into the lid of the small glass jar that makes up the ash catcher. That contraption is connected to the clear jug with a custom-bent metal tube sealed with plumber tape and a few gromets.

#2 is designed to not waste any smoking material. It has an air-tight smoking bowl on the top, with a flat-pack lithium-polymer battery electric flame igniter on the upper-left. (There's a small white plug on the battery pack to recharge it.)

When you stop smoking, the oxygen around the upper bowl runs out, the flame automatically goes out and your smoking material doesn't just burn up on you. Also the smoke continues to collect in the top before the flame goes out.

Blow in, re-ignite, fill the balloon with water-filtered smoke (collected and fresh smoke). Inhale, smoke continues to collect in top for the next round, flame goes out.

I wouldn't suck on any of these phallic tubes
