Q: While any glass bottle can be turned into a water bong, some bottles are better than others. Bottles with a long neck and a wide base work best. Getting a clean, perfectly sized hole for the stem is easiest with a bottle that has little curve on the upper slope where the base connects into the stem.

You might have to order the bit online so make sure you don't leave this step for last. You'll want a 14mm glass bowl and downstem. Choosing the proper length for your downstem is important. Measure the distance from the upper curve of the body of your bottle to the opposite side of the base. Acquire a downstem approximately the same length, and definitely no longer.  Glass downstems and bowls can be found at local head shops or ordered online.

These can be found at supply stores like Home Depot, or can be found online.
A: Pick your bottle. Get the proper drill bit. Acquire a downstem, bowl, and grommet.

Q: Look in the book that you received when you purchased your unit or pull up your unit’s manual online. There should be a section discussing enclosures or possible obstructions. It should state the recommended distance between any structures and the unit. Not following these guidelines when installing an enclosure or other structure could negate your warranty. If the air can’t circulate around your machine, then it will be less efficient and more costly to operate. Keep the foot of space around the unit open and free of any obstructions. Keep any plants that you’ve placed around the unit trimmed back. No matter which concealment method you choose, make sure to keep your unit accessible for any service professionals. Look for access panels on the sides or top of the machine and leave enough room for them to be opened, if necessary.
A:
Check the manufacturer’s recommendation for enclosures. Leave plenty of room for airflow. Maintain accessibility for maintenance.
