Default Potheads/Smarties - Why Doesnt My Pipe Design WORK!!!

Figured someone on here might know a little bit about bong/pipe construction or why work more than others, or maybe someone could just tell me whats happenning

On a regular water bong, water sits at the bottom, burn the green at the side and it comes through the water and up to you

I got bored at homedepot and made a pipe today. Shaped just like this in 1/2" ID

Works perfect as a regular pipe. But I gave it that circle at the bottom so I could fill the bottom loop with water for some smoother pulls.

PROBLEM- As soon as you start inhaling, water comes right up with it. Doesnt sit at the bottom and bubble like I thought it would

Notice I dont have a shotgun hole, if that matters or not

Anyone have a suggestion on how to make it water friendly?

Holy ----, if this confuses you, you better quit smoking.

Are you seriously not understanding why this isn't working for you?

because thats a pipe and not a bong

a bong has to pull outside air/smoke through the water into a chamber that you pull the air out of the top of, you have no chamber, it like trying to suck air through your garden hose when theres water in it

Its the same as a bong but just in a different shape I thought.... the way I made it anyways

I figured the water would stay at the bottom anyways

lol, WTF would make the water stay at the "bottom" when you're sucking through it? :1 When you turn on a water hose does the water in the middle of the hose stay where it's at and the rest of the water move around it? :1

Drugs are bad, mkay? :1

Not quite. You still need a chamber at the bottom. And the inhaled smoke must be above the water level and the smoke coming in has to pass through the water. Damn, if that's what I was like when I used to blaze up, then I'm glad I quit. :1
