A device often fashioned from readily available materials, typically plastic bottles and a bucket or larger container of water, functions by utilizing air pressure and water displacement to generate and deliver concentrated smoke. The process involves submerging a bottle with its bottom cut off into water, igniting a substance placed in the bottle’s neck, and gradually raising the bottle out of the water. This action creates a vacuum that draws smoke into the bottle. Once the bottle is filled, the user removes the bottle’s cap, places their mouth over the opening, and pushes the bottle back down into the water, forcing the accumulated smoke into their lungs.
The device’s appeal stems from its simplicity and ability to produce a potent effect, delivering a large volume of smoke quickly. Its historical context is less formally documented but likely evolved from other improvised smoking devices. The impact on the user is generally more intense compared to other smoking methods due to the concentrated nature of the smoke and the forced inhalation.
