The ten best (and also worst) homemade bongs

7. Acid Waste
Ah, the salvage job. Notice the blown-glass tube of this bong that has been recycled using a lot of PVC and some ring clamps. Although it looks multi-chamber, that's actually just one long reservoir of water at the bottom. Best of all, if you hide this near the hot water heater pipes of your house, people won't notice it and laugh at you.

6. Super Smoker
Melting toy plastic aside, I'd be more concerned that if you pump the handle it would cause the bowl to whale spout with water. Party foul, dude.

5. Mother of the Year
No telling whether the person who made this is dealing with inner-child issues or simply has a nipple fetish.

4. Ice Chamber
This seems like a good idea, and it earns an A+ for creativity. But what these folks didn't realize is that after the first hit the entire tube turns into stinky, frozen bongwater.

Why is Westword fixated on the marijuana subject? It is becoming apparent that the folks over there don't really have anything interesting to say.

#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.
