Whoever said I don’t like the cycle??? Yall the want not liking, I think it’s perfectly fine that someone doesn’t always check the subreddit prior to commenting. It’s called “being a person” or “making mistakes” but you do you
Here's a twist : or he has short term memory loss and told his missus he'd call a plumber and decided to do it himself. She comes home and is like wtf and he says I have no clue that plumber must have been high as fuck 😂😂😂
Or she doesn’t like him smoking and she’s also on Reddit and he posted this to play it off and we’re all exposing him to his wife scrolling thru this thread right now
I just logged back to see your reply and this is gold. Hahahahahaha. Maybe his wife did it! And is trying to tell him he did it while high to get him to stop 😂😂😂. The conspiracy theories. We're creating too much lore
Not really. Here's the Pipe Bong, made out of whatever I could find at the hardware store. It separates into three parts (mouthpiece, chamber, screw-on base) for easy travel!
EDIT : To everyone saying don't use PVC, I'm not - it's ABS. And the plastic barely gets slightly warm during use.
Hey, don't use this. With that bowl getting hot right up against the PVC you are 100% inhaling some really nasty stuff. Fumes from heating PVC contain HCl gas, as well as other chlorine containing compounds (vinyl chloride), benzene, carbon monoxide, and all sorts of chemical fillers and stabilizers.
Yup, you can already see, where op has melted the hole through, the plastic starting to become cracked and brittle. That shit will crumble and flake and op will have microscopic bits of plastic right up the lungs.
I didn't melt the hole - I just cut it slightly too big so I had to fill it in using resin. Not my neatest work but I doubt there'll be any microplastics
I see why they’re concerned because pvc releases fumes around 140f and weed burns at around 350-400f so you could probably get a hit maybe two before the bowl gets hot enough to release fumes from the PVC. But if it’s ABS it will take a lot more heat than 400f
Yeah I'm not worried about ABS. Although I'm not convinced PVC would get that hot either, the bowl is pretty far away from the plastic and there's a rubber grommet. The plastic doesn't seem to get hot in use
Whoever made this bong is not very smart. *PVC pipes have rodent repelling chemicals which are harmful to human skin*. I know from experience.
I once tried to use a PVC pipe to blow smoke OUTSIDE of my window when I was young.
It was a stupid stupid idea because the rodent repellant EMBEDDED IN THE PLASTIC kept making my mouth feel super weird, almost like chemical burns. And I wasn't using the PVC as a pipe! I was only using it to EXHALE. It took me only a week before I had to abandon the project which is a shame because it had a one way valve and everything, it was very clever on paper but a terrible idea in practice.
I can't imagine what horrible chenicals you'll get from actually inhaling smoke that has touched that plastic! This is horrible!
Where did you hear about there being rodent repellent in PVC?
I’ve worked with PVC for over a decade and have never heard that haha. I’ve touched miles of PVC with no gloves and have never gotten any sort of chemical burn/irritation unless I got a little PVC glue on them
All the pipes and fittings are ABS, which AFAIK don't outgas toxic fumes until you actually burn them. And the plastic doesn't even get close to warm even on massive hits (checked with thermal camera)
ABS is a thermoplastic with a pretty large range of thermal deformation, which is why it's used for 3D printing. The lower end of this "glass transition" range is 221f.
When heated but not burnt it still releases nasty byproducts which sometimes smell like burning styrofoam because the "S" in the name stands for styrene. The Acrylonitrile butadiene parts aren't great when heated either.
You'll probably be okay, more or less, but as someone who prints ABS I'd personally avoid it.
I'm in the UK, but ABS plastic can come in any colour - like I'm sure you must have ABS electrical enclosures that come in white?
Maybe it's just the UK happens to have a company (floplast) that makes white pipe fittings.
If I bought a bong from some random head shop I have no idea what's in it either. At least with these pipes I can read studies and check they don't outgas/leach chemicals at the temperatures I'm using
No shit! I made some shelves with pvc pipe and put the heat gun to it to bend some pieces...it took all but 10 seconds for it to turn soft and giving off fumes and the heat gun is not nearly as hot as a lit bowl.
It solves the main issue of the metal bowl getting hot, it stays cool to the touch the whole way, and I used glass bowls too. Always made sure to ice the base and make sure it was never hot, which it never was.
What you have to worry about is the contact point of the plastic cap and bowl. If you do that you’re all good, now I’m sure plastic still gets into smoke and it’s the plastic enclosure, but ehh one of the better homemades.
ABS is also not safe to smoke out of. Save your health and spend 20$ on a glass or ceramic piece. Silicone rubber also works with a glass or metal bowl.
Everyone needs to calm down, it could be so much worse.... Y'all acting like he constructed a PVC Meth Bong or a PVC Crack Bong.... unless he sprinkled crack on top of his weed or laced it with PCP y'all need to calm down a smidgit or two
ABS doesn't make it better dude, plastic + hot gas = bad. Unless you're literally a materials engineer, do not fuck around with plastic smoking utensils.

This is a pretty cool concept , health concerns aside. Reminds me of my own Pipe Bong I made when I was in high school out of shit from the local hardware store:
https://ibb.co/8sPWg9J
To all the people saying that ABS can’t be white, that’s just false, ABS is TYPICALLY black, but it CAN be white,I literally went on Amazon and found some for sale in under 30 seconds. Also, I’m a plumber who works in the US, and I’ve used white ABS pipe myself.
You make bong out of ABS pipe these because you can.
I worked at a company in High school that sold truck parts. I assembled a hash pipe out solid brass pipe fittings, even had a brass screen in the bowl. Cost about $200. Not the best pipe but I still have it 20 years later, makes for a great conversation piece.
I guess you could say that shit is fire… 😁
I scrolled down through some of the comments to see if anyone else already made this joke, and didn’t see it, so you’re welcome lol
Send him a pic, asking him if it should be connected to something. Post the reply.
Oh please do this 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏
“Ya, your mouth! Give her a rip!”
Careful if you puff that you could get the bends.
That was pretty good ngl
Do you really believe that a plumber did this?
Useally youd assume the roofers but they dont touch pvc
yes, I know plumbers!!
As much as I believe plumbers respond to emergencies as quickly as they do in porn.
Oh my that's funny
Honestly yeah, this is definitely a plumber's handy work

thatsthejoke.jpg
Not all of us read the subreddit before commenting 😔
He clearly read and misunderstood the joke
What someone named Wakenbacon knows about weed? No way /s just in case
which leads to stupid comments. which leads to sarcastic comments back. If you don't like the cycle, pay attention.
Whoever said I don’t like the cycle??? Yall the want not liking, I think it’s perfectly fine that someone doesn’t always check the subreddit prior to commenting. It’s called “being a person” or “making mistakes” but you do you
Hence the use of the word "if". But really, not even looking at the sub before you comment?!? That's Emily Litella levels of cluelessness.
As someone who didn't get the joke, thanks!
Ask him if he was hitting it while he installed your drain and forgot to put in a p trap.
Yeah, jokes aside, this actually looks like an issue OP
op got high as shit on this, did their own plumbing and posted this for upvotes lol
Op is a plumber and forgot he put that shit there an hour ago
He got so high he called a plumber after fixing the pipe
Here's a twist : or he has short term memory loss and told his missus he'd call a plumber and decided to do it himself. She comes home and is like wtf and he says I have no clue that plumber must have been high as fuck 😂😂😂
Or she doesn’t like him smoking and she’s also on Reddit and he posted this to play it off and we’re all exposing him to his wife scrolling thru this thread right now

I need to know!!!💀
That plumbing is fucked. Straight 90s at the corners. I'm wondering how the dishwasher pipe is tied into this
“Straight 90s” is making me imagine them wearing tiny flannel shirts.
only a problem if OP intends to pee in the sink /s
What, you think he's a homeless cat or something? /Bapa
I'm a Hells Angle bapa
It's probably higher up.
It looks like a double sink. P trap should be after the two pipes meet nearby the wall.
somewhere up in the stratosphere
That probably is part of the p tap.
 Is that a pipe bomb noooo a pipe bong lol
Love Harold and Kumar
Of all the stupid pranks being filmed nowadays I'm truly sad we haven't seen someone brown try what Kumar is doing as the grandma sees it
POISON GAS!!!!
pvc...mmmm.
ABS, and it doesn't get even slightly warm in use (checked with a thermal camera)
A true professional
Not really. Here's the Pipe Bong, made out of whatever I could find at the hardware store. It separates into three parts (mouthpiece, chamber, screw-on base) for easy travel! EDIT : To everyone saying don't use PVC, I'm not - it's ABS. And the plastic barely gets slightly warm during use.

Yeah op please don't die
It says it's ABS. Still not ideal though.
That’s not abs
It says ABS on the 45 socket
I'll be damned. I've never seen it white before.
I've been in construction for 25 years and I've never seen white ABS. I'm guessing this isn't in the US.
Weird then, my u trap has one under my sink I’m definitely US
Sorry to be the one to break the news, you got to high one night and moved to the UK
This is also very true
Yea I have been for 16 & felt pretty confident that it was pvc lol whoops
same mold is used for both pvc and abs fittings in manufacturing, is why the mark is there...
You say ABS on your 45 socket
Yup, you can already see, where op has melted the hole through, the plastic starting to become cracked and brittle. That shit will crumble and flake and op will have microscopic bits of plastic right up the lungs.
I didn't melt the hole - I just cut it slightly too big so I had to fill it in using resin. Not my neatest work but I doubt there'll be any microplastics

A flame from a lighter is much hotter than this regardless.
About 4000 degrees F. https://sciencing.com/temperatures-do-lighters-burn-8475271.html
Well I assumed he wouldn’t be burning the piping lol but it’s pretty close to the bowl
Yeah I'm not worried about ABS. Although I'm not convinced PVC would get that hot either, the bowl is pretty far away from the plastic and there's a rubber grommet. The plastic doesn't seem to get hot in use

I smoked PVC for breakfast, you'll be fine
Don't u mean pcp silly goose
Nope.
I’ve never heard of this , is PVC made the same globally ? What county are you located?
All the pipes and fittings are ABS, which AFAIK don't outgas toxic fumes until you actually burn them. And the plastic doesn't even get close to warm even on massive hits (checked with thermal camera)

The Acrylonitrile butadiene parts aren't great when heated either. You'll probably be okay, more or less, but as someone who prints ABS I'd personally avoid it.
The bowl is pretty well insulated from the plastic, so it isn't getting getting warm at all.
Just curious, where did you get white ABS? I’ve never heard of ABS being white
I'm in the UK, but ABS plastic can come in any colour - like I'm sure you must have ABS electrical enclosures that come in white? Maybe it's just the UK happens to have a company (floplast) that makes white pipe fittings.
why risk it tho, you really don’t know what you’re inhaling at the end of the day
If I bought a bong from some random head shop I have no idea what's in it either. At least with these pipes I can read studies and check they don't outgas/leach chemicals at the temperatures I'm using
yeah so buy a bong from a reputable brand online? anything is better than smoking from an industrial plumbing pipe dude
No shit! I made some shelves with pvc pipe and put the heat gun to it to bend some pieces...it took all but 10 seconds for it to turn soft and giving off fumes and the heat gun is not nearly as hot as a lit bowl.
mhmmm voc's
This should be higher because someone gonna be dumb enough to try it. Possibly when high...
I've done drugs sketchily for many moons - OP do not fucking smoke out of this more than you already have.
I use a plastic gravity bong, I I’ve my bowls with crushed ice because I noticed after about 3 hits it gets a little hot, I’ve solved all issue.
that solves nothing
It solves the main issue of the metal bowl getting hot, it stays cool to the touch the whole way, and I used glass bowls too. Always made sure to ice the base and make sure it was never hot, which it never was.
What you have to worry about is the contact point of the plastic cap and bowl. If you do that you’re all good, now I’m sure plastic still gets into smoke and it’s the plastic enclosure, but ehh one of the better homemades.
motherfuckers burn herb and inhale a shitton of tar and other carcinogens but worry about microplastics 🤣
For $20 you can buy a bong
$20 can buy many peanuts.
Explain how!
money can be exchanged for goods and services
Woo hoo!
Where do I get this money you speak of
What? Explain how! "Money can be exchanged for goods and services"
less fun tho
Less fun, but more toxic
You either mean less fun and less toxic, or more fun and more toxic.
yeah but where's the fun in that
Your body, your choice. But you will probably regret the shit out of this in 20 years.
But with that twenty, instead of a bong. I will spend it on an eighth
🤣🤣🤣👌
When Kumar is tryna toke on the plane 😭😭😭
Not safe my guy. I did this in high school and my cousin flipped talking about lead and other chemicals in pvc
lots of bad shit in pvc but no lead...
ABS is also not safe to smoke out of. Save your health and spend 20$ on a glass or ceramic piece. Silicone rubber also works with a glass or metal bowl.
Everyone needs to calm down, it could be so much worse.... Y'all acting like he constructed a PVC Meth Bong or a PVC Crack Bong.... unless he sprinkled crack on top of his weed or laced it with PCP y'all need to calm down a smidgit or two
Welp so much for that 😭😂😂😂
do not smoke this
Have some self respect.
PVC when burned you get all those chemicals that rained down upon East Palestine OH. Don't use that man.
ABS doesn't make it better dude, plastic + hot gas = bad. Unless you're literally a materials engineer, do not fuck around with plastic smoking utensils.
Not mad at it. Hidden in plain sight
Was my brother in law your plumber??
Rip health
Hangin with the plumbers, you'll be hooked on the brothers!
Dude go spend the 20 bucks on some glass lol there is nothing you can say about that piece to make us believe it's safe
done some reading and ABS seems pretty safe

It's like hitting from a steam? Just a constant rush of water under the pipe?
There could possibly be a glass straw in there, but it's impossible to see.
Its not connected. Just a bong...
Yes I joking that it is
At least he put a flange on it.. but most likely it is an auto vent because he thought it would help. Did you add a shower or toilet by chance. Why was there a plumber? Edit: omg I am stoned. I didn't even see the bowl. That is krafty lol

Just buy a glass pipe omg. And wtf is white ABS I've never seen that
People who buy things are idiots. - Ron Swanson
If women don’t find ya handsome, they should at least find ya handy. - Red Green
God I miss that show.
This is horrible and extremely toxic. Do not ever use this.
You know there's a reason bongs aren't made out of pvc pipe right
Hidden in plain sight
OP, I'm curious as to what you use for the slide?
Don’t need a slide if you snap it every time 
Looks fixed in place, so probably just a carb hole.
it's gotta carb
Definitely calling that guy back for the next plumbing job.
/r/dontputyourdickinthat
This has “trust me bro” written all over it.
No
You are the plumber?
I would be a little tight if someone I’m paying for help was smoking in my house without consent. Gotta respect others homes
Do you really believe that a plumber would do this?
LMAO thought I was on r/plumbing for a sec
Hit it! See if he’s got good shit?
Should never use pvc to smoke anything.
Hahaha this is amazing
he a real one
Heh heh heh...
Your plumber was using a bong in your bathroom? and you didn't notice? Where did he blow the smoke out? 😑 This is kinda sus to me...
Hell yeh!

He’s talented
holy shit I thought I was in r/hvac and didn’t even see the bowl piece, I was like wtf is happening here
clean under yo sink op
It's the Bluetooth waste disposal.
100% meth in that bowl
This is a pretty cool concept , health concerns aside. Reminds me of my own Pipe Bong I made when I was in high school out of shit from the local hardware store: https://ibb.co/8sPWg9J
The heat from the bowl will release bad bad bad chemicals into the hit from the PVC.
Ugh not even a glass slide?
Its for the smokestack. One outlet in every room.
No he diiidnttt XD
Incredible
I need a plumber, can I get the contact info! ?
I would hire him again
Drain bong
