Gather Your Materials
Essential items:
- Soda can: A 12-ounce or 16-ounce aluminum can with a pull-tab. Clean and dry it thoroughly.
- Knife or scissors: Sharp enough to cut through the can without tearing or bending it.
- Pin or needle: A sharp object to puncture holes in the can.
- Tinfoil or aluminum foil: A small square or rectangle, approximately 4-6 inches in size.
- Bowl of water: To submerge the can during cutting to prevent sharp edges from forming.
Optional items for customization:
- Marker or pen: To decorate or personalize the geeb.
- Duct tape or electrical tape: To seal any leaks or strengthen the connections.
- Small hose or pipe: To extend the mouthpiece or create a different smoking experience.
- Socket or lid: To act as a removable bowl for holding the smoking material.
Insert the Bowl
To insert the bowl, you’ll need to:
-
Remove the downstem. Gently pull the downstem out of the water chamber. Be careful not to break the glass.
-
Insert the bowl. Take the bowl and insert it into the hole in the top of the water chamber. Push it in until it’s snug.
-
Replace the downstem. Take the downstem and insert it back into the water chamber. Push it in until it’s snug, but be careful not to overtighten it.
Here’s a table summarizing how to insert the bowl:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Remove the downstem. |
| 2 | Insert the bowl. |
| 3 | Replace the downstem. |
Tips:
-
If the bowl doesn’t fit snugly, you can wrap a small piece of tape around the base of the bowl to make it more secure.
-
If the downstem is difficult to remove, you can use a pair of pliers to gently pull it out.
-
Be careful not to overtighten the downstem, as this can crack the glass.
Fill the Bottle with Water
Fill approximately half of the bottle with water. The ideal level should be above the bend at the bottom and below the nozzle at the top, so the water is contained in the curved part of the bottle.
Tip:
- Avoid using too much water, as it will make it difficult to produce smoke.
- If the water level is too low, the ash will not be filtered properly, and you will end up inhaling more tar and ash.
The table below provides a rough guideline for the amount of water to use:
| Bottle Size | Water Level |
|---|---|
| 16-ounce bottle | 8 ounces |
| 20-ounce bottle | 10 ounces |
| 24-ounce bottle | 12 ounces |
Once the bottle is filled with water, tightly secure the cap to prevent any water from leaking out while you are smoking.
Light the Bowl
Light the bowl by placing a flame over it (such as a lighter or matches) and inhaling slowly. Be sure to hold the flame directly above the bowl and draw the smoke down into your lungs. Continue inhaling until the bowl is completely lit. If the bowl is not lit evenly, you may experience a harsh smoke taste. To ensure an even burn, rotate the bowl as you inhale.
Inhale
Once the bowl is lit, inhale the smoke into your lungs. Take slow, steady breaths, and hold the smoke in for a few seconds before exhaling. The longer you hold the smoke in, the more thc you will absorb. However, do not hold the smoke in for too long, as this can cause coughing and discomfort.
When you are ready to exhale, simply open your mouth and let the smoke out. Be sure to exhale slowly and evenly. If you exhale too quickly, you may cough or experience a burning sensation in your throat.
Tips for Inhaling
Here are a few tips to help you inhale properly:
Start with small breaths. If you are new to smoking, start with small breaths and gradually increase the size of your breaths as you become more comfortable.
Hold the smoke in for a few seconds. This will allow your lungs to absorb more THC.
Exhale slowly and evenly. This will help to prevent coughing and discomfort.
Take breaks as needed. If you feel lightheaded or dizzy, take a break from smoking. It is important to listen to your body and stop smoking if you are not feeling well.
Repeat Process as Needed
Continue repeating steps 5 to 7 until you have a sturdy, airtight seal around the bottle’s opening. The more layers you apply, the stronger and more durable your geeb will be.
| Number of Layers | Durability |
|---|---|
| 5 | Good |
| 7 | Very Good |
| 9 | Excellent |
Allow the geeb to dry completely before using it. This will ensure that the hot glue has solidified and that your geeb is stable and sturdy.
Once the geeb is dry, you can insert a small hole in the lid to act as the mouthpiece. Use a sharp object such as a thumbtack or a needle to pierce a hole slightly larger than the diameter of the straw.
Insert the straw into the hole you created in the lid, and seal it around the edges with hot glue. Make sure the seal is airtight to prevent air from escaping and to ensure a good smoking experience.
Clean the Geeb for Optimal Performance
Keeping your geeb clean is essential for optimal performance. A dirty geeb can lead to clogged airways, which can make it difficult to smoke. It can also cause the geeb to produce harsh smoke, which can be irritating to your throat and lungs.
To clean your geeb, you will need:
- Isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher)
- Salt
- A pipe cleaner or cotton swab
- A clean cloth or paper towels
Once you have gathered your supplies, follow these steps:
- Empty the geeb of any remaining cannabis.
- Remove the mouthpiece and downstem.
- Pour isopropyl alcohol into the geeb until it is about halfway full.
- Add salt to the geeb and shake it vigorously for 1-2 minutes.
- Use a pipe cleaner or cotton swab to scrub the inside of the geeb.
- Rinse the geeb thoroughly with water.
- Dry the geeb with a clean cloth or paper towels.
- Reassemble the geeb and enjoy!
| Tip | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Use warm water to rinse the geeb. This will help to dissolve any remaining residue. | If you don’t have isopropyl alcohol, you can use white vinegar instead. | Be sure to rinse the geeb thoroughly after cleaning to remove any residual vinegar. |
