good guide man, the only question i had was if you wanted to keep the res, ball it up, and smoke it, the alcohol thing isn't the best idea, no? i boiled a slide one time (shitty, like $10 tops) and then blew out one end and collected a huge ball. then i left it in the water so it would cool with the water and not change temps drastically, but i'm no scientist so i don't know if that would work on a small piece... any thoughts? or anyone who has ideas on how to keep the res for later use.

Just make sure you are gental while cleaning, just using a paper clip i have broken pipes before! Thanks for the guide, lots of good info

I dont know why you have to do all that crazy shit with the rubbing alchohol and salt and what not. I just wait until my piece is nasty with resin, then soak it for about ten minutes, and just clean it out with a pipe cleaner.

Bongs I just use Alchohol and rice, Pipes I just fill a glass with rubbing alchohol throw all the pipes in it (taken appart if there metal) let the glass set overnight next morning just run some cue tips through it and it shines like new.

very helpful guide. Thanks.

I swear by Formula420, I clean all my glass with it. Most head shops I've ever been to sell it for like $4-6 or something. No boiling, no scraping, none of that crap. It's quick and easy and non-toxic, unlike paint thinner or whatever. That's absolutely retarded.

Dude...you're a fucking idiot. You should never put something that will kill you if ingested into your piece. Ever.

PS: Resinate is definitely the best cleaner, I've found. It's made locally in South Florida...if you live here, go to the Piece Pipe (Commercial and N Dixie Hwy), like $4 a bottle or something, works great!

Isopropyl alcohol is toxic, but it's good because it evaporates easily, with the paint thinner, the most toxic shit evaporates just as easy, but I'm not sure what kinds of residues it leaves behind, but Iso and salt is the best method I've tried yet, but Iso and Cascade seems worth looking into
but what if you want to ball up the resin?

Tokerater · #29 (**permalink**) 06-25-2008, 07:35 PM

I always just take mine in the shower with me with a few pipe cleaners. works like a charm

tcruse11 · #30 (**permalink**) 06-25-2008, 08:07 PM

I use kosher salt with bongs. Its a really good abrasive.

Alcohol works okay, but Pure Acetone works better. It is more expensive than alcohol, but is a lot easier to use.

After every few cleanings I use lemon scented windex if there is any stale smell. Just spray some some and rinse.
