Have you ever heard of a gravity bong? If not, then let me tell you it is a DIY method to satisfy your smoking pinch or consume cannabis. You can take your smoking to the next level by using a gravity bong. This gives you not only a better high, but less THC is wasted. A gravity bong is also famous with other names such as bucket bong, geeb, geebie, hookah, jib, and various local names. You can easily make gravity bongs at home and require a few items. Gravity bong constructive items are usually available at home. However, smoking plastic fumes is harmful and it's recommended to use an all glass gravity bong.
What Is a Gravity Bong? What Is a Geeb?
The basic idea behind a gravity bong is that it uses the power of gravity to collect, hold and concentrate your smoke until you’re ready to take a hit. It still uses water, but not in the same way as the classic variety of bongs. Your original-recipe bong uses water to cool the smoke before you inhale it, whereas the geeb uses water to create a vacuum to keep all the smoke in the same place.
The basic construction of a geeb consists of a smaller bottle or container inside a larger one filled with water. A lot of cannabis afficionados swear by them because the higher concentration of smoke means each hit packs a wallop. That’s because you’re getting pretty much the entire bowl’s worth of herb in a single pull. Experienced smokers who know what they’re doing can really get the most out of this equipment.
How Does a Gravity Bong Work?
Now that you know what a geeb is, here’s how to use a gravity bong: The smaller bottle should have your fully packed bowl at the top. You place the small bottle inside the larger one and fill the larger container with water so that the smaller one is covered up to its neck. As you light the bowl, pull upward on the smaller bottle slowly and gently. This creates a vacuum between the water and the neck, which fills with the smoke.
Once there’s enough smoke in the chamber, you pull out the bowl and push down on the smaller bottle while inhaling. This pushes out all of the smoke right into your lungs.
Why Use a Gravity Bong?
There are a number of reasons it may be a good idea to learn how to make a simple gravity bong. For one, they make sure you get the most bang for your buck from your weed. The higher concentration of smoke means you’re wasting very little THC compared to other methods of smoking. This can save you money on your bud while also giving you the most powerful high.
Although knowing how to put together a geeb can be a good skill to have, it’s not exactly something you want to take with you on the road, due to how fragile they can be. That is why you might want to consider buying one of Gleeb’s glass gravity bong kits. These come with everything you need, and they’re made from solid materials so you can take them anywhere you want to go. Their discreet design also makes them ideal to use in places where you may not want to let the world know you’re having a nice time. Because it’s made from glass, you also avoid the possibility of inhaling toxic chemicals from plastic along with your smoke.
