Its that time of year again when pumpkins invade our lives for a couple months. All the regular corporate chains flood us with all kinds of cheap "pumpkin" products! We wanted to add something that would be fun and free to the mix! If you are looking to make a Pumpkin Bong or Dab Rig then check out a guide below.
Step 1
Find a pumpkin, duh! Actually we found that this was the hardest part as most pumpkins are that typical a round shape which works great for making scary faces but not so much for a Pumpkin Bubbler. Examine your pumpkin and make sure it will have room for a downstem and mouthpiece. Pay attention to the angle this is more important if you are making a dab rig. It's important to hold it up to your face to make sure you will be able to see your bowl or nail.
Things to consider:
Where are you gonna smoke from your pumpkin pipe, on the go, only at home?
Do you already have a downstem you can use? If so pre-measure it before you go get your pumpkin so you make sure you downstem will work with your Pumpkin Bong creation.
Step 2
Clean out your pumpkin. It's important to make sure your pumpkin has all the stringy insides taken out as they could clog your downstem. We also recommend flushing the pumpin out with water on the inside, this helps clean out the small amount of debris. Dont forget to think about mouthpiece placement before you cut the whole on the top of the pumpkin.
Things to consider:
Using a marker plan out your cuts before hand is worth the extra step to make sure that placement of downstem and mouthpiece are in the right spot.
Step 3
Installing the downstem and mouthpiece. This can be done several different ways. We used mouthpeace brand silicone mouthpieces for ours and they worked great. You can also just put a simple hole toward the top of the pumpkin. When installing the downstem make sure to carve out the lower portion of the whole at a 45 deg angle to ensure you downstem points down and the grits or whole pokes are at the lowest point of the bottom of the pumpkin. This will also help with splashback.
Things to consider:
We found that when you make your mouthpiece from the stem it helps a lot with splash back.
Step 4
Add water and enjoy! Congrats you just make your own pumpkin bong or dab rig, now go enjoy the reward! For those asking how they function we were plenty surprised by both the taste and function. We made two separate styles for this article and they both gave earthly fresh taste when pulling on them before smoking. They did not seem to change the flavor of the smoking experience at all. If you need a downstem, slide or mouthpeace we have a few different sizes in stock and all orders ship the same day when placed by 10am PST.
