Question So I'm building a side project and I need help

Hey guys

So I'm making a smoking apparatus with some clear tubing a few grommets, a bowl sourced from an exacto knife (or something like it) and lastly, the container, which is a battleships playing board thingy. I got inspiration from this when I went to a party on Saturday and a guy made had a pipe/vaporizer in a first aid kit complete with freaking medical oxygen mask to smoke from. Where you put the white pins on the side, I've drilled and placed my bowl which has tubing running up the right side, which is SUPPOSED to go into a custom water resevoir made to resemble the clear part where you place pins in (on the vertical flap). Therein lies the problem, I went to home depot and tried to use the clear plastic board to build one from scratch but it's too mega impossible and I'd have to deal with sealing it with something like silicone II which I'm not too sure I should be indirectly inhaling. Anyways, I need suggestions as to what I should do in terms of my water resevoir. Idealy, I'd like to have it on the vertical flap as a part of the clear thing, but understandably it's hard. Suggestions are welcome. Admin, this is just a project, for pure fun, I'm not advocating smoking in any way or form.

well for those of us who don't have the physical capabilities of holding a huge hunk of metal in one hand while struggling with a ratty fake zippo in the other or those of us who don't have spare turbos lying around, it's hard. If I can find a darth vader lunchbox, I might use my darth vader mask as the inhaler. Pretty f-ing tight.

i made a gasmask bong with one of those gas masks that covers your whole face and has 1 intake (i dont know what else to call it) and 2 little eye peek holes. tube to top of bong and you can breathe in and out freely without murfing the bowl. i wear swimming goggles inside of it tho hahaha smoke in the eyes hurts like a yatch

sealing it with silicone, or Goop, or shoe goo, any of that stuff will make the smoke smell nasty.

the best glue would be a clear acrylic bonding agent, not some goopy stuff like silicone. This kind of adhesive dries inert and odorless. Can be sourced at TAP plastic.

lol, about the turbo waterpipe, I remember reading an article on Cypress Hill, and they were interviewing them while they smoked out of "turbo bongs", the bongs had electric motors inside of the tubes with fan blades pushing the smoke up!

Fizay,

Make a dimentional drawing of what you need, ya know with all the specs, sizes, holes, etc....and take it to TAP PLASTICS....give them the drawing, and they will custom make anything you want....and it will be glued and sealed, just tell them it has to be water tight.

TAP plastics is the sh*t! I sourced all sorts of plastics there for various pieces . They've got a great glue similar to the one Dahveed's talking about that you use a syringe to apply. It's got the consistency of water, but bonds those acrylic plastics like a motha!

I'm calling the police... unfortunately it'll be a long distance call since no officer within 200 or 300 miles would give a rat's ***
