[QUOTE=modern-hippy]yeah, works great. i got my glass pipe too hot by doing that and the paint started melting. i had to throw the pipe away because from then on whenever you smoked out of it you got paint fumes. so watch out for that.

I don't know what you mean by paint? Was the pipe totally glass or was it partually integrated with another part that had paint on it? Could you tell me I'm interested.

Anyway, if your street dealer is gone on vacation and you chose to do this you can also use a lighter and hold it there for an eternity, but beware if you hold the lighter on the pipe tooooo long it may explode from the lighter getting toooo hot !!! and I won't be there to rush you to the hospital. I choose a blow torch because 1st it won't explode & 2nd it get the pipe hot enough to vaporize ALL the residue.

Tips:
1. Don't burn yourself or cing any eyebrows. LOL...Oh man
2. To conserve the vaporized smoke, torch it until it starts to smoke, take it off then inhale, don't just hold it on there and huff and puff.
3. If you have anything to hold the pipe with this is recommended, not to burn you fingers.
4. Rotate the pipe so you don't crack it or weaken it AND Try not to get it cherry red. because you may weaken the glass!!!!

Peace.
