Gravity Bong
This is how it works and why it is so popular
What is a gravity bong and why is it so special?
A gravity bong is not just another way to smoke - it's a little science in itself. The clever use of water and negative pressure makes the smoke particularly dense and intense, so if you're looking for a way to achieve a stronger effect with less material, this is the one for you.
The principle is very simple: a chamber filled with water and a bottle placed above it ensure that the smoke is produced slowly and evenly. When inhaled, the smoke is then literally "pressed" into the lungs, creating a particularly powerful hit. No wonder the Gravity Bong is so popular with many smokers!

The Stündenglass Gravity Bong
If you do a little research into gravity bongs, you will quickly come across the Stündenglass Gravity Bong. This high-end model no longer has much in common with the classic DIY bongs. Instead of an improvised plastic bottle, a high-quality, rotating design is used here, which is not only visually impressive, but also ensures a particularly pleasant smoking experience.
But is it worth the investment? Opinions differ. While some see the high price as a deterrent, others swear by the gentle yet intense smoke production. So if you like it classy and professional, this model could be worth considering.
Buying a gravity bong - These factors are important
Not everyone wants to make their own gravity bong. Fortunately, there are various models available to buy, but there are a few things you should consider before deciding on one:
- Material: Most gravity bongs are made of either glass, acrylic or metal. Glass looks stylish and is tasteless, but can break. Acrylic is more robust, but can lose quality over time.
- Size: A larger bong means more smoke and more intense hits, while those who prefer a softer hit should opt for a more compact version.
- Price: While there are inexpensive models for beginners, high-quality bongs such as the Stündenglass can quickly cost several hundred euros.
So if you want to buy a gravity bong, you should think carefully about what you want from the device.
Are gravity bongs also available at a favourable price?
Not everyone wants to dig deep into their pockets to enjoy the special smoking experience of a gravity bong. Fortunately, there are cheaper alternatives that still have a similar effect.
- Simple models: Many inexpensive gravity bongs are made of plastic or acrylic, and although they are less durable than glass versions, they are often perfectly adequate for occasional smokers.
- DIY: If you're a little creative, you can make your own gravity bong using simple household items - and spend almost nothing in the process.
So if you don't want to spend a fortune straight away, there are still plenty of ways to enjoy a gravity bong.
Make your own gravity bong - How to do it in just a few steps
If you don't want to buy a ready-made gravity bong, you can build one yourself in a few simple steps. All you need is a plastic bottle, a bowl or bucket of water and some aluminium foil or a bowl for the herb.
Instructions:
- Cut off the bottom of a plastic bottle.
- Drill a small hole in the lid or replace it with aluminium foil with tiny holes.
- Fill a bowl or bucket with water and place the bottle in it.
- Put the herb in the homemade bowl and light it.
- Slowly pull the bottle upwards - this will fill it with thick smoke.
- Place your mouth at the opening and push the bottle back into the water - the smoke will be forced directly into your lungs.
This simple method will give you a working gravity bong in minutes without having to spend a lot of money.
