Hey guys. So I have a pretty big bong, like close to 2 feet tall. It's great (hits absurdly hard) but is constantly clogged. Just today, I wanted to smoke but I couldn't bubble the water because it feels like something's clogged. I suck in and nothing happens. Something's down there clogging it, only I can't get to it. Anyone have any advice on specific things I should do to keep my blog unclogged, and how to unclog it when it gets called? This is becoming a huge nuisance in my life, and I'm sick and tired of it.
Plug all the holes and fill it with alcohol and just let it soak for a long time. Might be a good idea to get a second bong.
Get a glass screen for your bowl. Less ash and shit gets sucked down into your downstem. I'd just use a wire coat hanger and roto rooter that bitch till she hits nice again. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
too much poopoo build up cuzzin look through the joint end of your bowl, see if you can see through the other side. if not you need to get something thin and take the poopoo out. if the bowl is fine look down the downtube and see if thats clogged through. if its full of poopoo, you know what to do.
Resin will cake on the inner walls of anything in your bong, especially the bowl/downstem. Take out all the removable pieces, soak them in hot water (from the faucet, gradually heating the glass as to not shock/break the glass). Then you can manually agitate the blockage & then do the alcohol + salt cleaning. Hitting it will feel soooo much better when it's clean.
Take out the slide and turn it upside down. Look inside and if it's full of resin, then it's the slide. With the slide out, look inside the downstem. If it's full of resin it's the downstem. Unclog with a paper clip or chopstick. Get some ISO and salt to clean the piece regularly and this problem won't arise again... Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Take bong apart, run pieces under hot tap water, consider boiling if it is as bad as you say. Then throw some iso in (higher % equals less work for you) and dump some coarse salt in. Table salt will work to. Shake bong, rinse repeat. Down stem you just need something to fit through it, I use bamboo skewers(kabob sticks), coat hangers are good idea as well. Alcohol swabs are great for downstems as they are soaked in iso and will remove resin with a single wipe. Also you should get into a habit of cleaning your pieces more regularly, your hits will taste amazing.
