A milk bottle

My special skill is that I can McGyver a bong out of almost anything.

Basically, as long as you have tin foil you can do anything. Make pipes: a few wraps, tight around a pencil, seal with scotchtape lengthways. Fan out the end before doing so. Tear a circle of tinfoil, and a pin ("anyone wearing a badge?"), open the back page of an unloved book, place the foil on the paper, and tap the pin up and down repeatedly and you have a perfectly serviceable gauze that you can poke in the end of your fanned pipe.

I prefer not to smoke out of anything plastic. Just seems like we know not to burn plastic in the outdoors, so keep that shit away from your lungs, right?

Fruit has always been a friend for the thrown together party bong. Watermelon is obviously beautifully carvable. Always thought a papaya, with its natural internal chamber and a couple of pipes would probably be viable. Poke holes into the fruit with a screwdriver or, if you don't have one, a pencil or pen.

Finally, you can make an incredible ice bong, but it's a faff. Get two barbeque skewers. Place them in a pint glass, of water with the ends 10cm from the bottom of the glass. I made an inverted kind of A frame with some tinfoil to hold them. If you do the same, keep the crossbar out of the water. Freeze the glass.

Boil the kettle. Use a combination of twisting and pulling to extract the metal skewers. Then, tilt so that one side is facing down over a sink and slowly pour boiling water into the holes. Eventually, you'll have a bong. Make a tin foil gauze. Smoke like a muthafking champion.

Cut the bottom off a 2 litre bottle of pop, stick it in a bucket of water, use a milk bottle foil cap to to make a cap and fill with weed. Light it and pull up. Make sure you press down as you inhale.

The bottle and small pipe combo is the most quality and convenience I have ever had the high honor to imbibe.

You take a real simple weed pipe, metal or glass, and stick it in the mouth of the bottle.

If the bottle is plastic use any sharp object to stick a hole at the base.

Hold the bottle horizontally, put a straw in that hole and prepare for a monstrosity of a hit.

If it's a glass bottle you need something super sharp for the hole at the bottom, the tip of a strong knife or an ice pick does the job easily.

Water is optional, you don't need and its hard to balance. The best part of this is no cleanup, chuck the bottle when you are done, imagine a bong with a disposable chamber, that's what you got now bro.

I think what you have there is a DIY steam roller, I had one of these and loved it, yes water is totally optional its the expansion that does the magic and water is almost guaranteed to make a mess.

The Pen Pipe! Just turn the metal tip into a bowl brah

Holy shit! Did that in school 15+ years ago. Do kids even have pens at school anymore!?!?!

I bought a device on eBay that screws onto almost any bottle, turning it into a bong. When the bong water gets nasty just throw the bottle away and attach it to a new bottle. It's not completely DIY but it still has some merit nonetheless. Besides, nobody likes dealing with bong water and it's easier to hide when compared to a regular bong.

People we need to turn our bottles into bongs!

where were you . Back in the day I remember so many times we could have used this. why didnt we ever think of this. lol.. love it. thankyou

When we were little the wikihow salesman used to come door to door with books like this

Not a bong

Russian Bot

and this is not the Hacker News, chill.

At least he didn't downvote and turn it all grey

Consider the Apple Bong.

The Genius Bar would suddenly make sense.

It would be the most overpriced worthless bong. Haha

It would cost 500 bucks and be worth it

Toilet paper bong is the other end of the market

That they would sell newer versions of there Bong every few months. That cost more then the last one and has miner improvements. Auto makers found it didn't work for them but it has worked for Apple

Dude I thought this but you gotta see the new green one

Haha awesome

Try, a 500 ML soda bottle + a few inches of garden hose + cake icing socket... voila !! Homemade shotgun bong

Shit that works!

Similar to what we done back in the day!

If you mean best and don't mind finding some tubing and drilling you will have something that beats most expensive bongs

Star wars

I like both though lately they have both been crap film wise but i would say star wars is better just from their tv series The Mandalorian its a great show and they have some really talented producers cutting their teeth on it,if they can keep up the quality with the new shows they announced coming then the future looks bright for them,Star Trek tv show on the other hand is bollocks and needs to stop dicking around changing canon.

I think they have both been rubbish for a long time. Probably since the 80's. Just milking it.

That still doesn't answer the question, you must choose.

Ok, then. Had to think about it for a while. Going to go with Star Wars.. Final decision was made because someone rammed a Star Destroyer in Rogue One.

Star trek always has always will be.

piccard beats the new movies but the mandalorian beats piccard.

Star wars

Star Trek. Star Wars is now just like when Shatner was hanging on as an old man.

Its all about clean breathing equipment.

Have to agree, kirk is my favourite but his last few was hard to defend.

Both franchises are getting as old as mythology, this op ed piece from syfy (yes they have op-ed pieces :) ) hits it on the money for Trek.

This. Way too many senior moments in episode 7

Star Trek is a rehash, Star Wars is adding great new things to a large, living universe.

Do you mean Jar Jar Binks was a great new thing? No, that was an omen of things to come. As for the new trilogy, somebody must have been put in charge of supplying adult diapers to the original cast members. Probably changed them as well.

jar jar is a bigga, this is like a joint for him

jar jar binks would have been awesome in the muppets, this is exactly why you need the right agent folks

Can you believe 1 guy is directing both of them? This is my childhood dream.

Yeah but it's a lot easier when the creator is dead and the fans aren't so orthodox.

Not so sure about that son

I don't get why anyone loves either of these, they are like basically like bad TV shows.

If we can shut down the fucking world for a tiny population of vulnerable people can we just give up war for the rest of us?

Did you get it sorted? Im in the same boat

Hi nova everyone in this community felt exactly as you do on their first day /purchase. However many of the vendors offer excellent service, on par with say amazon or ebay. Escrow completely protects your money, the vendor gets 0 until you recieve your purchase. Cryptos bit weird to start with but easy enought to deal with. I have been here couple of months and have to say it feels like i found an extra family, supportive, informed and safe. There are many good vendors, you willl soon feel like a kid in a sweet shop

Thanks man, I'm still clueless at the moment, but hopefully I'll get there. Is this for the UK?

dont worry nova, this is everyone one of us day 1 - even borgs! paybis.com has live help and quick service for the bitcoins, give them a go and let us know what you think :)

Thankyou for the reply. My bank card is known as a debt card, not a credit card so I don't think the suggested site will work. There wasn't any form of help either so I'm no closer to understanding exactly what it is I need to do to get the ball rolling. Thank you for the reply though.

Thanks for the Info. I'm all sorted with a different exchange now so no worries. :)

You can easily buy Bitcoin on Bittylicious (EU/UK), just create a new account and wait 24-48h to have the account confirmed, after that just buy the amount of BTC you need, with your debit/credit card (but I recommend you to use the transfer bank because their commission is much lower).

A small tip:
When you buy BTC, first create the order on LB, when LB gives you the BTC address where you must send the BTC to initiate the order
, copy it and just buy BTC directly to that address (you will save on fees and waiting times!)

this is very helpful thank you so much, i have now figured a way around my problem

You're welcome :)

Thanks so much for the heads up and explanation, I’ve just completed my first order thanks to your helpful advice and I had literally no idea what to do beforehand!!

I'm glad that after more than a year that tip is still helping new people to get started with LB =)

Thanks for the info mate. Now I've just gotta try and understand it. I'm liking this site though. I'm clueless at the moment tho..

No problem, you'll see how easy it is.

Good luck and stay safe!

Thanks for the tip, I’m trying to get set up. I have initially registered with Paxful but not confirmed ID yet. Would you say I’m better off registering with Bittylicious for saving on fees? And if I do as you say and buy the bitcoin directly to the sellers address, whose email do I submit along with it, my own or the sellers? Thanks

If you register on Bittylicious you have to use your personal data

That’s fine, I’m just asking if Bittylicious is a better option than Paxful before I go all in with verification

I never used Paxful so I don't really know.

You can compare the fee and other features and then chose which one suits you better.

If you have a EU bank account, I also recommend PayNote.eu. They are really fast and no ID required.

there is no emailaddress component to payments here, each invoice has a unique bitcoin address to identify it

Right ok it’s just I saw on Bittylicious front page when you select “buy” it gives you a bitcoin address field and an email field in order to submit, but I’m guessing it’s different when you’re registered, I’ll get signed up.

great tip thanks

@xs8 Great tip!

Now there's some clearer instructions! Thank you for taking time out of your day to reply.

I've tried to make an account with bitpanda which I've seen reccomened a few times here but they keep refusing my verification. Is it standard practice that they ask for a photo of my passport and then a picture of my face? I don't know why I keep getting refused.

Personally I recommend Bittylicious, the fees with the bank transfer are ok, the verification process is easy, fast and clear and the overall service is really fast and customer oriented.

Give it a chance :)

P.S: Yes, is normally that they are asking for a valid ID document and photo of your face, this is named KYC (Know Your Customer)

if you buy bitcoins like this, ie. providing an id, is it then safe to send those coins to a seller? I am a noob and trying to understand how this works. My poor little brain says that if I buy bitcoins and have to be verified in that process, then those coins are traceable to me. Is that right? and does it matter? From what I can tell, most people just buy the bitcoins and send them for a transaction? thanks

So, using Bitcoin makes you more "invisible" but is not 100% safe and if someone really wants to trace you, he can do this. (but I doubt that someone will invest computational power to do this on a mid class person).

Short answer, don't worry too much, just use tor browser to navigate on LB (not on Bittylicious) and this will make even more harder to trace you down.

I've looked into Bittylicious and apparently there is no wallet function? Is that why you recommend to initiate an order first then copy the provided address to bittylicious to buy btc into that address directly? Or do I also need to set up a btc wallet and if so how do I do that? I'm very sorry if my questions are annoying but this is a bit of massive learning curve for me. I really appreciate your time and help.

Hi mate, I'm a complete noob myself & just made my first purchase today. I used Paxful to get the Bitcoins & a wallet...I felt exactly like you, but managed to go thru the process ok. There's step-by-step support & it wasn't too difficult. Good luck mate.
You can get weed from Weedzy on a normal browser too. I've had 4 lots from them now & the quality had been fairly decent.

You don't need a wallet to pay for an order. Just press pay on your order and you will get an address to send the coins to.

Really cool, I'm a new user too and I didn't know this. Bitcoin wallets etc. is all alien to me. Would be much easier to not have to deal with wallets. So I can create an account at one of these and just make one payment by card that goes straight to the seller? Just like making a normal card payment like any other shop? Any pros and cons of Bittylicious Vs PayBis? Thanks
