The ten best (and also worst) homemade bongs

3. Weird Science
Admit it: This is exactly what you were thinking about in science class back in high school. That's a test tube drilled through a Pyrex flask with a sawed-off beaker jammed into the top for the tube. Add to that the carved wooden bowl, and this is truly a Stoner MacGyver masterpiece (and one we would actually consider hitting).

Even with the diagram, I can't figure this fucking thing out. It's like an overly technical, not as functional Volcano vape I think, but it could also be a strange musical instrument as best as I can tell.

1. Plastic Multi Perc
After you're done laughing your ass off take a second to admire the sheer magnitude of this undertaking. Blowing a pipe like this in glass would probably take less time than this person put into making sure the seals on every one of those straws making up the multiple perc showerheads. Part of me wanted to try it just to see how well the kid pulled it off, but then I looked over at my real multi-perc glass piece and forgot all about that plastic thing.

Support your local glass blowers, friends.

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.
