How to Make a Pumpkin Bong for Halloween

As we enter October and fall, Halloween is creeping up fast. If you want to have some fun and mix it with your love for cannabis, why not make a pumpkin bong? Many people who enjoy cannabis like to make smoking devices out of fruits and vegetables, like apple pipes and watermelon bongs. But for a Halloween twist, nothing beats a pumpkin bong that looks like a jack-o'-lantern.

If it's your first time making a homemade bong, then don't fret; we're here to share with you the easy steps to create your own homemade pumpkin bong from which to smoke your Halloween strains.

What You'll Need

• A small-to-medium pumpkin: Choose one that is tall enough to accommodate your downstems and bowl. Opt for a fresh pumpkin to avoid rot.
• Two glass downstems: These will serve as the main smoking apparatus.
• Bowl piece: This is where you'll pack your herb.
• Marker or Sharpie: For marking where to cut.
• Carving knife: A serrated knife works well for precise cuts.
• Spoon: To scoop out the insides.
• Water: Cool or iced water is best for smooth hits.
• Weed: Your chosen strain for the ultimate Halloween experience.
• Lighter: To ignite your herb.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pumpkin

Cut Off the Top
Use your carving knife and carefully cut around the stem of the pumpkin, creating a lid. You want to make a circular cut about 6 inches in diameter. This makes it easier to clean the inside of the pumpkin and fill it with water.

Step 2: Scoop Out the Seeds

Clean the Inside
Use your spoon to scoop out all of the seeds and stringy insides. Make sure to remove all the innards from the pumpkin, creating a clean cavity. This step is crucial for airflow and maintaining your bong's integrity.

Step 3: Mark and Cut Downstem Holes

Create the Downstem Holes
Using a sharpie, mark the two holes on opposite sides of the pumpkin. These holes are where the two downstems will go. Carefully cut out the holes at a 45-degree angle towards the bottom of the pumpkin. Ensure the holes are not too big and the downstems fit snugly in them.

Step 4: Insert the Downstems

Fit the Downstems
Insert the downstems into the holes you just cut. They should point downward at an angle to allow for proper water filtration and to prevent any splash-back when you take a hit.

Step 5: Add Water

Fill with Water
Pour enough water into the pumpkin to submerge the bottoms of the downstems. About 1-2 inches of water should suffice, ensuring smooth smoke filtration while avoiding overflow.

Step 6: Replace the Lid

Seal It Up
Put the top piece back on the pumpkin. This creates a sealed chamber for the smoke, allowing for a better hit. Ensure that the lid fits snugly to prevent smoke from escaping.

Step 7: Pack the Bowl

Load Up with Weed
Pack your chosen strain into the bowl piece and attach it to one of the downstems. Make sure it’s packed firmly but not too tight to allow airflow.

Step 8: Light Up and Enjoy

Take a Hit
Use the bowl-less downstem as your mouthpiece, light up your herb, and inhale. Enjoy the spooky vibes and the delicious flavor of your favorite strain.

Tips for Success

• Cool Your Smoke: Using cool or iced water can enhance your smoking experience by cooling down the smoke for a smoother hit.
• Freshness is Key: To avoid inhaling mold and to keep your bong fresh, be sure to empty the water after every session.
• Get Creative: Feel free to decorate the exterior of your pumpkin with Halloween-themed designs for an extra festive touch. Use a permanent marker or paint to add spooky faces or autumn motifs.
