VAPORELLA - GRAVITATIONAL PULL
Why gravity-bong hits suck so good.
Thu, Mar 16, 2006 4:44 pm
My love for good ol’ gravity starts with the MacGyver-like ingenuity with which these bongs are crafted from spare parts. I would give my left arm (and that’s my smoking arm!) to have witnessed the original conception of the gravity bong. I bet the creative genius’ friends bowed down to her—or him— like something out of Wayne’s World. Hell, we’re all not worthy of that accomplishment—an impromptu invention that unleashes a hell of a fucking high that lasts all day long. Pretty similar to eating pot (remember, I’m mostly a ganjatarian)—in fact, I’ve seen gravity bongs produce smoke so thick I thought I could chew it.
Unfortunately, I didn’t pop my gravity-bong cherry until my final year of college. A little late blooming from the Vaporella files that I’d rather not admit, but I think it was my teenage preference for smoking blunts that really had me ignoring other crucial methods of ingestion. Then came the day when a fellow stoner chick and I were sitting in her room, preparing to get high (as usual) and discussing the best way to maximize the minimal stash of grass we had between us. When my friend brought up the idea of building a gravity bong, I admitted my ignorance of said bong, then endured 10 minutes of “You’ve never smoked from a gravity bong?”–like disbelief before she finally went into her kitchen and returned with a pair of scissors, an empty two-liter Canada Dry bottle, a plastic pitcher, a measuring cup filled with water and a garden-hose nozzle—which I found a bit puzzling, since she didn’t have a hose, much less a garden.
The finished product included a screen fresh-cut from the window to fit inside the nozzle, and on which we placed our sorry lot of combined weed. Then my lesson began: “All right. The way this works is to start off by submerging the bottle into the water in the pitcher, while keeping the nozzle above water. Then, light the weed in the nozzle while simultaneously pulling the bottle ever so slowly up out of the water— but not out of the water—so the upper half fills with smoke. Once it’s filled with smoke, take the lighter away from the pot. Now I’m gonna take the nozzle off of the top for you, so cover the opening immediately with your hand so the smoke doesn’t all escape.” She removed the nozzle, and I almost let all the smoke escape before finally slapping my hand over the top. My guide rolled her eyes and continued: “Here’s the tricky part—to really get the best hit, get on your knees, put your lips around the opening, and push the bottle back down into the water slowly so it forces the smoke into your mouth. Basically, it’s just like giving a blow job.”
With a description like that, I knew exactly what I had to do (and how). So I dropped onto my haunches, and instantly that familiar feeling of having my knees hard upon the wood floor came back. I placed my mouth around the base of the bottleneck and proceeded to give Mr. Canada Dry the best head he’s seen this side of Montreal. The smoke came softly into my mouth. Inhaling it all, never losing a drop, I let the hit expand my lungs, then sat back and looked up to see my friend, eyes wide, motionless, staring at me with new respect. I blew the smoke back out into the world via one long, continuous, solid-white ring and wiped my mouth off with the back of my hand. Fully blazed and extremely horny—a daily combo for me—I passed back the bottle to my gal pal, said my thanks and took off in search of a cute stoner boy holding a bag of Doritos (who hopefully had a spare set of geology homework up for grabs).
As for my current love of gravity bongs, I must admit that I don’t indulge very often anymore. There’s just nothing quite like your first time.

- One 5 gallon paint bucket (cleaned) with around 3 gallons of water.
- One lighter.
- One bag o' weed.
- All stored in the back of a company van.
Oh, the memories of working on a house painting crew, cruising from one job site to another...

I use a plastic bag (usually from subway subs or like a newspaper something kinda of cylinder shaped) 2 liter bottle (3 liters work fine also, and haven't tried many other sizes that work best) and i melt a removable socket from socket wrench's into the cap of the 2 liter bottle. I carefully tape the bag to the bottle as not to rip it. then suck all the air out of the bottle making sure it's as air tight as possible. load up the socket bottle top bowl, screw it on the bottle light up, and pull slowly. if when the bag is pulled all the way out and there is still more buds to burn i carefully put my mouth around the socket bottle top bowl and shotgun the rest of the smoke into the bag... this usually produces about twice what you normally could get.
..now back to reading and breaking buds up =P

bucket hits are not even CLOSE------ to being a NEW method of toking up.All Ontarions,Canadians and (if it were up to me)the whole entire universe.I(along with everbody i know) have been happily hovering around the bucket ,uncovering the dank secret then followed only by hacking into oblivion,just as we have expected.i have been blasting bucket after bucket after bucket after bucket.... for years and it had never once occured to me that HIGH TIMES like shit man HIGH TIMES have been none the wiser. a HIGHLY effective smoking accessory with its ridiculously simple design i thought HIGH TIMES!(being the magazine of it's kind)HIGH TIMES!!!!AS i have been blown away i have been sadly disappointed ,,BUCKETS of all methods,,,,,buckets DONT TELL ME.....next you'll say WHAT IS A "WIZARd"?????
((((( if a bucket is news to you then a wizard will be unheard.HEED MY WORDS
please do investigate every and all ways that you can create those "HIGH TIMES" for the greater good and from where i can see it....IT'S ALL GOOD

This doesn't have anything to do with a gb, but, you can make a bong out of your mouth with an ordinary glass or brass type pipe. Put a small amount of water in your mouth, just enough to coat the bottom with a puddle. Put the pipe in your mouth, mouthpiece in the water, and breathe as you light it. Not a tasty way to go, though. I doubt anyone would really like it.

I've tried the vaporizers as well and i do like those.... again if im smoking the mexican brick weed. I pay good money for buds thick and tasty. Meaning i pay for the taste and i dotn want to do anything that takes away from the smooth flavors Bubble Gum bud or Mountain Dew or Grape Crush.
There's nothing like a 1 foot glass bong thats been sitting in the freezer for an hour when you just wake up. Amazing- The latest thing ive tried is the new xerosmoke device. If you dont want to get caught smoking herb thats the tool for you. I actually sit in my office (desk job) all day and smoke herb. I shit you not. There is no smoke or odor... you actually exhale back through the device. It's pretty cool! Check it out here. http://www.xerosmoke.com
Peace.

i used to keep a 3.5 foot long steamroller named smogmonsta. took two peole to operate and one big hit was MORE than enough! (if you can hang)
for the uneducated..
steamroller is a large tube style pipe, open on both ends. on end is used as the carb and you pull from the other end. you can buy small ones at headshops but the best thing is to make your own as big or as small as you like.

What the fuck are you talking about. Blunt are great if youre in the hood or hanging with the Harlem Globe Trotters. but blunts fucking RUIN the taste of quality herbs. If you got stems and seeds and the shit blows, then wrap it in a blunt. but if you actually want to taste the herbs you are smoking, you certainly dont wrap it in the thickest strongest and sometimes Flavored tobacco paper you can find. Thats just common Sense, B.

Blunt paper, lets be honest...fucks with the taste, and the roaches blow donkeys cause the resin get coated on them, and they are even a tough bowl pack for the roacho bonus round. big phat J-bars is the weay to go.
Unless, you are the engeneering madman and made a true TITS Gravity Bong. If youre strapped and only have a bit of pot, you can turn way wouls normally be one hit......to a one hit the size of Hiroshima. Classic, simple and effective.
and yo, Body Bag, I've done the inverted bago-rama binger you describe. It's fucking Heavy and, oh yeah, Fucking HARSH!!!!!!
The harshness cannot be overrated. The high is devastating but the high or the toke truly isnt enjoyable. For any true binger or HUGE rip of smoke should be filtered through water, or else your just tasting hot plastic. so my advice to you is, pony up the dough and buy a real Bong.
I'm out, keep smoking
