How to Build a Snow Bong
How to Make a Snow Bong
Switch up that Snowman for a Bong made of snow!
Here in the Prairies we’re no strangers to snow days. That joy you felt as a kid when seeing that fluffy powder fall from the sky may be replaced nowadays with a feeling of resentment. (Like clearing your car off of inches of snow at 8 am in the morning…)
Maybe that feeling of joy will be brought back after taking a rip off your snowman-turned-accessory, even if you are smoking in -20 degree weather! The results of making a Snow Bong are nothing short of awesome.
Materials Needed to Make a Snow Bong:
-
Snow.
This is by far the most important thing, all other materials are negotiable…
-
A bowl (the kind you eat cereal out of – not the kind you use to smoke weed.)
This is going to give you something to build on. Alternatively, you could just build it directly into a pile of snow.
-
Dowel
This will let you make the smoke chamber. You can use all sorts of other stuff if you don’t have a dowel, as long as it’s long and narrow. Curtain rods, broom sticks or whatever else you find!
-
A skewer
This is to form the bowl. You can also use a small screwdriver, clothing hanger, small stick, etc.
Step 1: Pile some Snow into the Bowl
Or start building your base onto that 12 inch pile in your front yard 😉
Step 2: Inset the dowel into the snow, and pack it in.
Make sure you don’t push it all the way to the bottom! Leave about 2 inches of snow between the dowel and the bottom of the bowl.
Step 3: Grab more snow and build it to your desired height.
This is also your chance to show off your sculpting skills 😉
Step 4: Remove the dowel
Step 5: Use a skewer to poke a thin ‘Downstem” into the chamber
Step 6: Use the skewer to carve out a smaller bowl
Step 7: Pack in your favourite strain and enjoy!
Now does it work?
Hell yeah it works!
To be fair, you’ll get a good couple pulls off of it before it is melted beyond use. Sure it might be a lot of effort for a few hits, but it sure is fun. If you replace the “snow bowl” with a real glass bowl, you could get a bit more time out of it. Put on those ski pants and parkas and build your own snow bong! Feel free to share with us your snow bongs on Instagram and Facebook, as we would love to see what you create!
