    So I got my little sovereignty rig brand new it has a three hole downstem and after smoking tons of oil through it and it was caked in reclaim the holes barely clogged, you could pull it right through. But after I cleaned it for the first time, the holes clog up with barely any use and nowhere near as much reclaim as before. I've always gotten different oil types so I don't think it's a change there, and I've tried drop downs Ti Quartz every combination. At least two of the three holes clog way too quick and are hard to pull through. Any ideas why it's like this now? Also I've cleaned it thoroughly like three or four times and it just keeps clogging quick. Idk what it is.

    Maybe the colder weather?

    Thats strange, it didnt do that originally? Id maybe just change the water after every use make sure its super clean even the nail and try some different water levels and see if any of those make a difference. Sov is pretty nice im suprised the function is like that

    Im going to say that your not getting the nail hot enough (low temp dabs are awesome) and the nail isn't "vaping" the concentrate all the way. That's my only guess.

    It's probably because it's not 100% clean. Chances are some claim is still in the joints. And you can't see it. Clean your rig with warm alc, then repeat and see if it still happens

    This was my first though. I haven't tried heating the alc but I've been doing a reclaim with 99% ISO and then a 70% ISO wash, rinse, wash again, rinse with distilled water. So I feel pretty confident about its cleanliness. Maybe tho.

    What kind of diffuser is it? Inline with slits?

    If it's got the slits I've noticed some pipemaker don't make them as open as they should be and so after it gets clogged it's harder to clean.

    Try it and then try to let the second wash sit over night

    It's a three hole downstem and the holes are pretty tiny. Just weird that it never did it before. Oh well.
