If you’re into smoking cannabis with a glass pipe, then maybe you’ve thought about how to make a glass bubble pipe for yourself. Glass pipes are known to be a lot simpler to clean after you’ve smoked out of them. Glass pipes are also useful for tobacco smokers that want to enjoy the flavor to its max potential. Sometimes, a wooden pipe can add in new flavors that a glass pipe wouldn’t. If you want to get started on making your own glass pipe in the comfort of your own home, there are a few things you’ll need to get started.
6mm glass poking piece
50mm base wall glass piece
Torch
Metal punching piece
Tongs
Oven for the curing process
The first step is to hold up the 50mm base wall glass piece near the torch. Do this slowly to prevent the glass from breaking. The glass should be spun continually for a nice, even burn and to ensure the temperatures will be the same throughout the process. You’ll want to keep spinning and heating the glass until you start to see it getting red hot. To make sure the glass is heating evenly throughout the process, you should try to be as steady and still as possible. When you start to notice the glass getting to a consistency that looks like soup on the parts that you’re warming it up on, give it a pull, while ensuring you still remain still and steady throughout.
After that, flip over the glass piece and let gravity do its work by stretching out the lower portion of the glass piece from the top.
At this point, you’ll want to use a cutting tip on your torch.
At the point where you see the glass strand attaching to the base wall glass piece, this is where you’ll want to cut it.
With the second piece of glass handy, cut out a hole at the end of it with the end tip of the torch flame. Doing this should give you a nice glass tube for you to blow your glass pipe.
You’ll now want to round out the end of the glass tube. The way to approach this is by twisting it towards the torch flame on the edge where it has just been cut.
Once you’ve noticed that the glass piece starts to bubble, hang up the glass piece. Gravity will do its job and straighten out the glass tube. Give the end of the tube a blow to ensure that the tube will maintain a nice and round shape. After that, you can now slide the glass piece up to the torch at an angle.
Give the pipe a few moments to cool off, while giving a few brisk blows through it.
At this point, the bubble will still be forming at the end of the glass piece. Blow a couple more breaths through it to round out the pipe a bit.
Now, you’ll want to heat up the 6mm glass piece with the torch. Put the 6mm glass piece in the base glass piece on its rounded side. Push it through.
Ensure that you’re lining the glass piece up to the torch flame right in the spot where you want your mouthpiece to be on the pipe. Give it a turn.
You’ll notice that as the glass is turning, it begins to thicken into a soup-like consistency. After you’re done heating it, hang it up and flip it over to allow gravity to shape the stem. You don’t want any ripples to occur here, so let the pipe cool off as you’re pulling it from the torch.
You can now bust off the 6mm glass piece from the base glass piece.
At the point that you busted off the 6mm glass piece, you’ll want to round out the edges. You can do this by twisting it around in the flame of the torch.
On the even part of the glass piece, you can now make a bowl. Put this part up to the torch flame and start turning it around in a circular motion. Adjust the torch to cut settings.
Insert your punching piece right in the glass piece and give it around two seconds to sink in. Take the punching piece away and slide the glass piece in the flame of the torch again.
The flat side should be sitting on the other end of the bowl so that the glass piece will be sturdy on a flat surface. With the flat side that you’re wanting to heat up, place the glass piece in the torch flame.
Remove the pipe from the torch flame and push it onto something flat and metallic so that the flat side will adjust into a pipe.
Now comes the carburetor. To do this, you’ll need to heat up the side of the glass that’s near the bowl. With your punching tool handy, pop a tiny hole in the side. The punching tool should be popped right through the bowl so that it’s strong enough to prevent the bowl from warping throughout the melting process.
Grab your tongs, clamp them around the pipe, flip it over, then place them in the torch flame. The glass should be heated exactly where you want your stem to start in the pipe. Rotate the glass consistently to soften the glass. The heat from the torch should be right at the end of the stem. Use the punching tool to create a hole in the stem to allow smoke to pull through it. The glass should still be rotated in the torch flame to make sure it’s being heated up evenly throughout. After that, put the glass piece in the curing after everything has been cut.
