How To Make A Pumpkin Bong

Fall is right around the corner; here's one stoney way to carve a pumpkin.

As the leaves slowly change colors, summer comes to an end.

But the fun doesn’t have to stop when summer does. This is the time of year I start to look forward to the chilled weather, beautiful fall colors, and maybe even a pumpkin-spiced beverage or two.

When your local store or farm starts selling round and plump orange pumpkins, you don’t have to preserve them for Halloween. Instead, why not make a bong out of one?

We must note that you can’t keep your pumpkin bong around for long. Because it’s a vegetable, it molds very easily after time and interaction with moisture. It’s best to use your pumpkin bong for a day or two before you want to carve it into a jack-o-lantern for Halloween.

Also, change your pumpkin bong water after each sesh to ensure you’re not making a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.

Without further ado, here’s how to make your very own pumpkin bong.

The Fall Classic: DIY Pumpkin Bong

Just imagine it. You and all your friends, decked out in your Halloween costumes, or sitting in the living room watching scary movies, and you each have your very own jack-o’-lantern bong in your lap. There’s no better way to celebrate. And with the NOVA, you can easily customize the bong, using its mouthpiece and the button feature to pull smoothly through your seasonal masterpiece.

Pumpkin Bong Recipe

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 medium-sized pumpkin (a hollowed-out one works best!)
  • NOVA Pipe w/ bubbler attachment
  • Knife (for carving)
  • Spoon, ice cream scoop, or scooper (for removing seeds)

Step 1: Prepping Your Pumpkin

Start by grabbing your NOVA pipe and attaching the bubbler. You’ll save the original mouthpiece for later. Next, place your pumpkin on a flat surface and check out its shape—find where it leans naturally or seems most stable. If needed, shave a small slice off the base of the pumpkin to create a flat, steady surface to prevent any tipping.

Once stable, pick the best spots for the mouthpiece and downstem. Use the NOVA pipe’s mouthpiece to measure and mark where you’ll cut. This ensures the perfect placement for a snug fit.

Step 2: Carving Your Pumpkin

Next, hollow out the pumpkin. My favorite method is barehanded, but if you’re a classy smoker, you can use an ice cream scoop or a spoon.

Choose the side for your mouthpiece and cut out a small section wide enough for the NOVA mouthpiece. Cutting at an angle helps form a tight seal when reassembled.

Cut a diagonal hole for the downstem—just far enough from the bottom for the airflow to work smoothly. 

Once you have your downstem and mouthpiece carved, you can carve your jack-o’-lantern face! Here are 3 of the best methods:

  1. Carve just enough of the pumpkin so that the entire inside walls are intact, but when a light shines from within, you can see your design.
  2. Carve your pumpkin as usual, but cut the pieces using the angular method. When smoking, replace the pieces and enjoy your high. The angle will help secure the seal but not necessarily all the way. 
  3. Or, you can carve the pumpkin as usual and line the inside where the face is with parchment paper. Either use toothpicks to secure it or (if you really want to make sure it doesn’t move) try staples. This method won’t guarantee a seamless seal, but it will still look cool!

Step 3: Assembling Your Jack-O'-Lantern Bong

Insert the NOVA mouthpiece into its spot. The hole should be snug but not too tight. If it’s loose, you can wrap a small piece of foil in plastic wrap and use it to fill the gaps. The foil provides structural support while the plastic wrap provides the insulation. 

Now, fit the bubbler attachment into the downstem hole at an angle. Add water until the opening of the bubbler is submerged, but not the whole thing. If the connection isn’t airtight, use foil and plastic wrap here too. Once everything fits snugly, pack your herb into the NOVA’s smoking pod and attach to the bubbler.

With the pumpkin lid back on, your jack-o’-lantern bong is complete! Just press the button on the NOVA and enjoy your spooky, smooth hit of green.
