plumber's putty works great for holding a stem or bowl in place, its reusable, its never melted whenever I've used it, and its kinda fun to play with whenever you're fucked up as all hell. Make little putty people, and laugh at their flaccidity cause there isn't a putty drug store!
Juicy apples are hard, a nice potato it easy enough to use. You can smoke out of an aluminum foil pipe, however it does attribute a bit to the Alzheimer's. Just take some aluminum foil and roll it around a pen or something, and bend up one end to make it a bowl. be sure that its pinched or flattish under the bowl so the weed doesn't fall through.
If I'm gonna make a bottle bong, I always have a stem handy, maybe sure not to suck too hard <ehehehehe> on flimsy bottles, whenever the suction pressure is released, it will pop back into normal shape and send weed flying. Flying weed is only cool if you can catch all of it. Gatorade, cough syrup, powerade, you can make a bong out of all of these, hell even a pill bottle if you really want.
Pill bottle bong:
You need a pill bottle...with a lid, some fish tank air hose, a bowl, a lighter, and a knife/paper clip.
Heat up the knife with the lighter so it slides through the cap easily and doesn't make a useless gash <which is why I use a paper clip>. Make a hole slightly smaller than the bowl, heat the bottom of the stem and screw it in. put the slide the stem close to the bottom of the bottle. You could probably get away with using a bowl instead of a stem, but make sure your bowl doesn't melt the cap, and its not a bong then, its a pipe.
The paper clip would be more useful than the knife here. Make another small hole with the hot paper clip, and slide it around in there till you've melted out a nice hole smaller than the tubing and force the tubing in. If you fuck up or thing it might be easier, make a larger hole and use plumber's putty around the tube. Slight the tube down a small amount into the pill bottle, we don't wanna sip bong water. <practice till you find an ok level, or use less water...like enough for an ice cube maybe lol

Screen is easy enough to get a hold of, it can be found on maybe screen doors. Make sure its not the plastic kind. If there's some poking out, snip it off and burn it to see if its usable, and to make it slightly safer to smoke off of. You might need to do a little trim work, but it works.
If you have cigs, empty them of tobacco and pack them with weed, if you leave the filter on it can help you with packing, you can tear it off later. Just twist the cig paper to fit, and twist the ends shut. voila, insta joint, no rolling required.
