How to make a bong out of a Hennessy bottle:

1/5th bottles seem to work best. Get a bottle, wash it out, and set aside.

Go to a smoke shop and ask for a downstem and bowl piece. Ideally the down stem will be about 6” long. You can go longer/shorter depending on the angle your hole is made at.

Once you have your downstem, take a tape measure and measure the OSD of the glass. (Outside diameter. In my case the OSD was a hair over 1/2”, so I used a 5/8” drill bit)

Once you know the OSD of the downstem, you’ll need to go to the hardware store and get a drill bit that is at least 1mm larger than the OSD of your downstem. You need a special carbide (or diamond in some cases, ymmv depending on where you go to get the bit) drill bit that is intended for going through glass. They look a bit like this.

Drill your hole. ALWAYS WET DRILL GLASS. Always. Do it in your sink with the water running, and drill at about half-speed. It will take some time to get through the glass. The angle you hold your drill at will determine where and how the downstem sits in the bottle. About a 45 degree angle on the glass where I put my downstem works well.

Once the hole is made, rise the bottle out very well, and dry the outside. Put your downstem in the hole, and use some putty to make the air seal.

Pack a bowl, and enjoy ��

I do a lot of pot drilling. Bosch makes the best ceramic/glass/tile bits I’ve used: BOSCH GT2000 4-Piece Carbide Tipped Glass, Ceramic and Tile Drill Bit Set , silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GNC8RI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_3FB6T2GFHWZEH2A6X8TD?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I only have a rotary hammer I bought during remodeling, so used it on the "just drilling" setting with a 6 mm bore/bit for concrete.

And with a regular drill, bits for tiles and glass should be your tool of choice. Like these.

To prevent overheating of the jar and the drill I poured some water in the jar, like 1/3 or its full volume.

P.S. English isn't my first language and I never discussed such themes in english before, so I explained the best I could :)

This is what I bought to make some holes in hard ceramic tiles: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GNC8RI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They worked very well. I tested them on a spare piece of tile first, and was surprised how easily they bore in. Good luck!

Those are actually some slightly more difficult materials to drill, but you can do it! Both tile and plexiglass are prone to cracking or shattering when you drill, so you'll want to make sure you're using the right bits. For tile, you'll likely want a carbide-tipped masonry bit like this one and they make specialty bits for plastic as well like this.

Take your time, don't press very hard, and let the drill do all the work for you. You may want to start with a smaller hole first, and then move up to a larger bit until you get to the size of your fastener, since taking out more material at once will make it more likely to chip or break.

As for fasteners, since you said you're attaching this to the wall, you'll want to know what the structure of the wall is made of. If the wall is tile, and you're in the US, it's likely drywall or plaster underneath. I don't know about construction in other areas. You'll know it's drywall if you get a white powder coming out of the hole once you're through the tile. Drywall and plaster aren't hugely strong, so you may want to look at wall anchors. There are lots of styles of wall anchors, and they're not very expensive. You'll want to estimate the weight of whatever you're hanging and then double or triple that number to choose your anchors and make sure it definitely won't fall.

Lastly, be careful drilling into a wall, since it's possible there's electrical wires or plumbing hidden behind the wall, and damaging those can be a real problem. Again, go slow, let the drill do the work, and wear gloves and eye protection. You can do this!

There are special drill bits designed to drill through ceramic. I bought these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GNC8RI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Ev8FybXJ3YC1D
