I am a COMPLETE spelling and grammer nazi. I hear you out, and agree with you, as well. I would never pay for these, but I do find the info in them interesting.

I do not speak the the English language well. I need to re-learn the basics.
But please re-read what I quoted from you. I did not even read on from that because you instantly lost any credibility to criticize Matt.

Re: How To Keep Your Bong Clean

I don't know why all these people keep talking shit on Matt to begin with. Mind you I have no clue to who he is. Are you all just jealous that he has his own section on the forum? Things like this make me wonder why I spend so much time browsing this site. I love the site, but I'm pretty sure most middle schoolers are more mature than half you fools that think smoking weed makes you cool.

Re: How To Keep Your Bong Clean

Shit sorry for triple posting I forgot what I even came back here in the first place for.
I decided to give my bong a nice little swirl with some salt last night. Well I'd like to give out a warning to any fellow dumb asses. When swirling your bong make sure to hold it by the base, not the stem. My bong now has a pressure crack going around the entire stem where it meets the base. It still holds water and was only $45 so no biggie just a warning! And yes I called myself a dumb ass.

to answer this i believe that lemon juice acts the same as chlorine in a pool. it breaks down and incinerates some, but not all particles before reaching the glass. thus, causing less buildup;therefore, less times in between cleaning.

You need to calm down and learn the difference between criticism and "talking shit." I just don't see any particular reason to applaud him for his writing, as it's pretty unremarkable. Sorry if you get offended by that

Chlorine is an oxidant, and there is no "incineration" involved. Rather, I think the lemon juice just acts as a solvent, same as ISO would. The difference is, you can inhale a little bit of the lemon juice fumes, while inhaling ISO would be a really stupid idea The solvent keeps the resinous gunk suspended in the water, basically doing half of the cleaning job while it sits there.

i can ryte lyk dis an it stil donnt mayk hes rytn n e betur, duz it? Also, this isn't my "Special Reporter" section.

You know, it's just as hypocritical of you to complain about imaginary points on an internet forum and telling me that "it's just the internet." You're also making a bigger deal about all of this than is necessary, and guiding this thread way off track. Grow up, kid.

On topic, I squeezed some lemon juice into my bong and it seemed to work as it should, but I'm going to wait until I have one of those bottles of lemon juice because just squeezing a lemon into it left all kinds of pulp. It looked nasty and probably would have smelled bad had I left it there lol

Re: How To Keep Your Bong Clean

Yeah you do have a point.. for the record im 24 not a kid and It's not like im telling the mods on you for being a fool...just letting you know how silly your original statement was. and for the record. When I first quoted you I had no idea that that post you were quoting me from. (If that made sense)

But for real man It aint no big deal. Its kinda funny how easy it seems to get in arguments on here when In real life im sure the talk would be a lot more mature. On both ends

On topic, I clean my bong pretty much daily. The smell of stale bong water absolutely disgusts me, and I just can't take a hit in good conscience. I use 420 cleaner (or "Bling," essentially the same thing as 420, and they're both just ISO and salt), I'll have to find some lemons now I've been wondering if adding something to the bong water would act to maybe precipitate the crap out of the smoke and leave it in the water. Maybe the lemon juice just acts as a solvent to keep the gunk dissolved and in the water, rather than depositing on the glass? I'm sure someone will figure out why and how it really works. Then it's off to the races for whoever can patent a flashy bottle of "420 Super Lemon Power," just lemon juice with some color in it
I sort of have to agree. I find that Matt's articles have alot of unnecessary writing to them, almost if they were more rant than actual articles. Not trying to discourage, but just try to get to the point faster, and ask yourself "Why does this sentence, or paragraph matter?". And of course, GRAMMAR!!!! Proofread plzzz

Re: How To Keep Your Bong Clean

grunge off is the way to go, keep like 2-3 bottles around, submerge the female and the bowl in it for about 20 minutes and fill the bong up with some more and plug up the hole. after 20 minutes or so pour the grunge off back into the bottles (its re-usable) and then rinse the bong and pieces with hot water and theyll come looking brand new, no shaking involved.
