What Is A Geeb?

A "geeb" is a nickname for a gravity bong, which is a water pipe that uses falling water to pull large swaths of smoke into a container for stoners to take big tokes more easily.

If you like to smoke weed, a geeb is a fun and unique way to switch it up. Just make sure you prioritize smoking high-quality cannabis when you can.

Here are some other terms for "geeb:"

• Gravity Bong

• Grav Bong

• Waterfall Gravity Bong

• Bucket Bong

• Bucket Gravity Bong

• Gravitron

How To Use a Gravity Bong

Gravity bongs use water displacement and gravity to fill the container or bottle with smoke for large, potent hits.

Using a Regular Gravity Bong

Step One

A regular gravity bong features the top half of a water bottle and a bowl snugly fit to its cap. To begin, pack the bowl with flower, and remove the cap. You can discard the bottom of the bottle.

Step Two

Separate from that, you have a bucket or tub that you fill with water. You could also use the bottom half of a bigger bottle and the top half of a smaller bottle to create your gravity bong.

Step Three

Take the top half of the bottle with the cap removed and slowly push it into the water until it's submerged up to the bottleneck.

Step Four

At this point, you can screw the cap with the fully packed bowl back to the top of the water bottle.

Step Five

Once the bottle cap is screwed on and securely attached, light the flower and, at the same time, slowly lift the bottle out of the water. The once-empty bottle will release water and fill with more and more smoke. Go slow to avoid spilling.

Step Six

Before the bottom of the bottle (or half-bottle) comes out of the water, stop, lean in, and take your first big gravity bong rip. If you can't take it all in, don't force it. Take as much as you want.

Step Seven

The remaining smoke will mostly stay in the container for a few beats if you want to go back for another rip.

Using Waterfall Gravity Bong

This style of gravity bong utilizes a similar bottle-to-bowl combination but removes the need to remove the bottom of the bottle or use a tub or bucket of water, though you still need somewhere for the bong water to drain.

Step One

Simply cut some small holes in the bottom of the bottle, and then plug them with a piece of material or your fingers.

Step Two

Take the cap off the bottle. Pack the bowl. Fill the bottle with water. Put the cap back on, and release the water through the small holes at the bottom of the bottle.

Step Three

Smoke will fill the bottle, pulling from the cap-bowl combination as the water sucks the air out.

Step Four

Again, take the biggest hit you can, inhale, exhale, and then go back for the remaining smoke inside while it's still there if you're looking to get the most out of it.

How To Make a Gravity Bong

For generations, stoners have taught one another how to make a gravity bong with nothing more than an empty plastic bottle, aluminum foil, and a little intuition.

As the world of cannabis matures, products have developed that liberate users from having to poke small holes in aluminum foil.

Today, instead of recycling a large container or water bottle, you can buy a nice glass gravity bong.

Tools Some People Use

If you decide to make a gravity bong, it's important to exercise caution. Disclaimer: We are not a health or wellness resource, and you should direct any questions on harmful chemicals of the smoking material used for home-made geeb's to a doctor or qualified medical or wellness professional.

With that, those who make a bucket bong at home typically utilize the following components.

An Empty Plastic Bottle with a Bottle Cap

Preferably a large plastic bottle, this is going to serve as your smoke chamber.

You can either separate the top portion of the bottle and then take gravity bong hits out of a bucket of water. You can also poke small holes in the bottom, cover them with something that will sell the holes entirely, and then fill the entire bottle with water.

After you light the bowl, remove the cover to the holes, and empty the bottle slowly into a bucket or drain. The air pressure created by the falling water will pull all the smoke down and fill the bottle.

When you're ready, you can put your lips to the mouthpiece of the container and inhale a big, juicy gravity bong hit.

When you make a gravity bong with a plastic bottle, the cap that screws onto it is an important component. You're going to need to carefully cut a hole in the bottle cap, and this is where your bowl will come into play. You must make sure

You need to use the materials needed to cut that whole safely and at your own risk. Otherwise, you should just purchase a professionally made gravity bong, which we'll cover down below.

Whether it's a smaller plastic bottle or a large plastic bottle, you want to take care to use a clean container that's well suited to draw smoke and deliver fat, tasty rips.

Metal Bowl or Aluminum Foil

When it comes to making your own gravity bong, it's pretty common to use a piece of aluminum foil that you poke tiny holes into, and then push into the hole of the cap with your finger.

Foil can make an okay bowl, but the rips are harsh, and people avoid it because of potential hazards.

A metal bowl can make for a much more enjoyable smoking experience. You can buy stainless steel pipe bowls for $6 on Amazon, for example. In my opinion, this makes for a far better smoking experience than what results from making holes in the foil.

Bucket

Whether you poke holes in the foil or buy a steel pipe bowl, you'll need a bucket for the water to fall into, or some sort of drain. Some other essentials to get you to that first hit include a lighter and of course some amazing flower.
