A glass device you fill with water to filter marijuana smoke. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metisdead Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Bong A bong (also known as a water pipe) is a filtration device generally used for smoking cannabis, tobacco, or other herbal substances.[1] In the bong shown in the photo, the smoke flows from the lower port on the left to the upper port on the right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metisdead Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 1 minute ago, scottiejohn said: So if it is made of glass how do you roll your own unless you are a glass blower? In construction and function, a bong is similar to a hookah, except smaller and especially more portable. A bong may be constructed from any air- and water-tight vessel by adding a bowl and stem apparatus (or slide)[2] which guides air downward to below water level whence it bubbles upward ("bubbler") during use. To get fresh air into the bong and harvest the last remaining smoke, a hole known as the "carburetor", "carb", "choke", "bink", "rush", "shotty", "kick hole", or simply "hole", somewhere on the lower part of the bong above water level, is first kept covered during the smoking process, then opened to allow the smoke to be drawn into the respiratory system. On bongs without such a hole, the bowl and/or the stem are removed to allow air from the hole that holds the stem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bong#Legal_issues 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post amexpat Posted September 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2023 12 posts so far so let me be the first to address the question. Many of the many weed shops have them with prices ranging from sensible 200 to ridiculous 1000 baht plus. Pop into a few and don't spend too much. One issue I have is finding or making screens to fit into the bowl. G'luck. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the weed shops would be the first & only places to visit, see what they have, see their styles & prices and go from there. If the shop doesn't have what the OP's is looking for, try another. It's not rocket science. Edited September 4, 2023 by bbko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novacova Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Does it have to be made with glass? Why not make one with readily available bamboo. Isn’t that what Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong used when they did the Big Bamboo thing? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayWright Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 An icon of 80's Australia, The Orchy bottle bong. 6" Of Garden Hose. Old can of Coke ( Other Aluminium cans will do) 1 x Orchy bottle, contents consumed. Water Mull. Pen knife Lighter. Use pen knife to make insertion in bottle 3/4 up to then insert your garden hose, angle down to touch the bottom. Use pen knife on old coke can to cut a 1.5" triangle shape. Fold triangle to make a cone, insert cone into exposed mouth of garden hose. Fill bottle 1/2 up with water. Pack a generous pinch of mull into the cone. Light and inhale... The bottle below is a museum piece from the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences in Sydney. If you're going up market and buying a glass bong, Top-Tip, use Sterident tablets to clean it. Same for cleaning Port / Ship decanters. Make sure they're the unflavoured ones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you need a screen in a bong? After the burnt weed is vaporized, what remains is pulled down in the bong water. No way can that get into your lungs because of the water, DUH. People don't even use screens for glass pipes anymore. The pipes are designed not to need a screen. Someone obviously hasn't smoked weed since the 70s because a "screen" is totally unheard of in 2023. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone obviously hasn't smoked weed since the 70s because a "screen" is totally unheard of in 2023. Calm yourself… especially when you aren’t correct. Not every bong has the same design. Even glass bongs can have ‘ash catchers’ attached. The downstem posted above has a pipe screen fitted. Pipe screens are tiny screens that help to keep your pipes and bongs clear of resin buildup, pull-through, and clogging… Edited September 4, 2023 by NextG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A glass device you fill with water to filter marijuana smoke. No I have seen this before. Extremely hard to believe but I have come across folks who lived throughs the 60 -80's, seem to have led normal lives and yet have never tried weed nor know anybody personally who has. They did a Twilight Zone episode covering the yet to be explained phenomenom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flare Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) Shopee is way better than Lazada as far as selection goes- simpler is usually better as they're easier to clean. The usual words you'd use to search for them may not work, but you can enter 'แก้วน้ําเก็บความเย็น' (it translates to 'cold water glass') which will come up with things like insulated cups as well as what your looking for.
