DIY Guide: How to Make a Bong Out of a Pineapple

Take your DIY skills to a tropical level with this innovative guide. Yes, you read that right—we’re turning a pineapple into a fully functional bong.

Who said functionality couldn’t be fun? Transforming a pineapple into a bong isn’t just a creative twist—it’s also an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional materials. If you’re ready to blend tropical vibes with functionality, here’s the ultimate guide to crafting your own pineapple bong.

What You’ll Need

Before you get started, gather these materials:

  • A fresh pineapple (ripe, but not too soft)
  • A sharp knife
  • A metal or glass bowl piece (available at any head shop)
  • A large straw, hollow pen tube, or downstem
  • A drill or screwdriver (to make holes)
  • Water (optional, for cooling the smoke)

Step 1. Prep Your Pineapple

Start by cutting off the top of the pineapple, keeping the leafy crown intact. This will act as the lid for your makeshift bong. Don’t discard it—set it aside for later.

Next, use your knife (or a spoon) to hollow out the pineapple. Scoop out enough of the fruit’s flesh to create a hollow chamber, leaving the pineapple’s outer shell intact. Make sure to save the juice—it’s perfect for a tropical drink!

Step 2. Create the Downstem Hole

On the side of the pineapple, about 2 inches above the base, use your drill or screwdriver to create a hole. This hole should be angled slightly downward and sized to fit your straw, hollow pen tube, or downstem snugly. Insert the downstem or tube into the hole so it reaches the bottom of the hollowed-out chamber.

Step 3. Add the Bowl

Attach your bowl piece to the top end of the downstem or tube. Many bowl pieces are designed to fit seamlessly with common tube sizes. If you don’t have a bowl piece, aluminum foil can work as a temporary solution (but ensure it’s used safely).

Step 4. Make the Mouthpiece

On the opposite side of the pineapple, slightly higher than the downstem hole, drill or carve a second hole. This will act as the mouthpiece. Ensure it’s smooth and free of jagged edges for comfortable use.

Step 5. Add Water (Optional)

For smoother hits, pour a small amount of water into the pineapple chamber. The water acts as a natural filter, cooling the smoke as it travels.

Step 6. Secure the Lid

Take the pineapple’s leafy top and place it back on the pineapple to act as a lid. This helps maintain the aesthetics of your creation while keeping everything in place.

Step 7. Test It Out

Hold the pineapple bong upright and take a test pull. Ensure everything is airtight and that the smoke flows smoothly through the downstem and out the mouthpiece. Adjust as needed to ensure functionality.

Bonus Tip

To pack your tropical creation with even more flavor, mix pineapple juice with the water inside the chamber. It’ll add a fruity twist to every hit!

Final Thoughts

Crafting a pineapple bong is as functional as it is fun, combining aesthetics with a DIY challenge. It’s a great conversation piece for gatherings or just a creative way to enhance your session. Beyond its tropical charm, this eco-friendly hack lets you skip disposable options while adding a custom flair to your experience.
