Materials to make an apple pipe

The best part about making an apple pipe is that you don’t need much. You’ll likely have all the supplies you need lying around the house.

• Apple
• Pen or chopstick
• Toothpick or nail
• Lighter

How to make a pipe out of an apple step-by-step

Making an apple bong is just about as easy as it gets. Just follow these simple steps and you’ll be toking in no time!

1. Remove the stem – Pull out the stem which will form the bowl.
2. Remove the ink casing from the pen – Remove the ink from the pen so you’re just left with the outer tube. You can use a chopstick instead if you have one on you.
3. Make the bowl – Carve out the bowl with the pen (with the ink and tip removed), the chopstick or using a knife.
4. Create the mouthpiece and carb – Poke the pen right through the middle of the apple, through the core all the way through so there’s a hole on both sides. It should be directly underneath where the bowl will be. 
5. Connect the bowl and mouthpiece – Take a toothpick or nail and poke a small hole to connect the two passages.
6. Test the airflow – Breathe in from the mouthpiece as a test to make sure that the airflow is good.
7. Pack a bowl – Pack the bowl into the top of the apple. 
8. Smoke it – Hold your finger over the back hole which is the carb, and inhale through the front hole. When you’re done taking the hit, release the carb.
