Another one of those "hey, thats so simple its genius!" Not to honk my own horn 
. Just kidding ladies and gentleman. This is a water pipe I have been using since day one and hands down runs with the best of portable water pipes. It was actually my first one. When kids were using aluminum foil and other miscellaneous toxic products, I was out looking for the cheap, healthy, and portable. Most of the time that ended up in me doing a DIY from resources available.
Lets cut to the chase..
==============================================================
What you will need:
1x Plastic Bottle (like a soda or water bottle)
1x Glass slide bowl (available online or in head shops for as low as $3)
1x Lighter
*OPTIONAL* 1x metal rod or key roughly a little smaller in diameter than the slide bowls stem.
==============================================================
Instructions:
1# Remove label from bottle and mark a spot on the bottle where you want to put your bowl. It is best to do it as low as possible so you can use small amounts of water.
2# Using your lighter, heat your glass stem or hot metal until hot enough to melt through the plastic. Make sure to leave the lid on for this if possible to create back pressure on the plastic when melting. Also try to make the hole as straight as possible as to not have any air leaks.
3# Remove cap and rinse the bottle. Insert bowl stem into bottle and fill to the appropriate water line.
==============================================================
Its that easy. So cheap and very effective. Great for camping, concerts, gatherings, and personal situations. No need for seals, if done correctly you will have a snug hole for your stem. If not the o-ring that came with the bowl should be sufficient.
+ rep if I helped, thanks!
