one empty 500 ml plastic bottle.
one (or more if you like
) downpipe.remove the bowl, whether you leave the attaching ring on or not is up to you, depends whether you would prefer to use rolling tobacco or cigarettes.
heat the downpipe at the bottom end, you need to use two or three normal lighters to prevent the flints from flying everywhere.
stab into the side of the bottle, around a 1/3 of the way down. you want the water level to be fairly low too.
take out the downpipe again. this is the filling stage: grind up your hash/green and empty onto a fairly flat surface. we used dvd cases. store the weed on there. spread it out so its pretty flat.
if you want to use a cigarette, jam a bit under a centimetre of cigarette into the pipe, cut off as clean as possible with a knife. remove a small amount of tobacco, just a flake or two.
If you would prefer rolling baccy leave the attaching ring on, roll up a ball thats is around enough to make a tipped roll up. If doing this you can make excessively big shotties, so be careful. I use cigarettes so i cant really guide you as well there.
Invert the downpipe so that it faces downwards, stab into your pile of weed, fit into the hole you made earlier. ( if using rolling baccy just try using the standard amount you would use in a normal bong first)
smoking stage: hold the flame above the pipe, start inhaling very, very slowly. Then it hits the bite point and you inhale as fast as you can to shoot the smoke through and clean the bowl.
this shottie is cheaper, less smooth, harder hitting and more portable than the other method. These days i generally prefer being able to move within a minute of smoking a bong, and not being slammed and glued to the floor for ten minutes by the combined thc and nicotine rush.
