Can anyone explain this?

  1. I bought this rig, it was rather cheap considering it came with titanium nail and a tree difusser...but anyway, I use the rig daily but get this substance buildup in the water, the male piece gets normal wax/oil buildup but once it get to water I am left with this big buildup after say 15 20 hits...which resembles the exact wax I have been using to get dabbed up with...the water doesn't really get dirty and none of the downsteams or diffuser holes have buildup, their spotless actually...I just don't get it, I've used diff grade shatter and wax, all seem to leave something very similar to the orginal products in the water...

    Oh and their is absolutely no way it could just fall or something like that into the water the way my rig was made...

  2. Use different water often, after each session. Could be a weird resin build up or even mould since it'll be wet there...
     
  3. Most people call that reclaim. The errl condensates back to a solid when it cooled down in the water. It is the same wax you've been dabbing on.

  4. I know a handful of people using the same wax with their rigs and Noone has this same buildup, could it be from the multiple tubes allowing the smoke into the water
     
  5. Yeah the more diffusion you have the more your vapor will cool down. With a rig you really want to keep them small and minimally diffused.

    It's better for tasting the errl as well as avoiding so much buildup in your rig.

  6. Prob claim or shit from fake ti if that can even happen.
     
  7. Looks like normal reclaim. Try to collect it, let it dry out, and use it to season new nails or dab ppl out with it that always hit you up for dabs.

    That's your oil. It's getting cooled too much and condensing as globs. It's basically just wasted.
     
    Try another rig.
     
    Or use less water. Thats the best option. Fill it to just above the slits on the trees.
     
    Nothing else gets dirty because oil just won't disolve in water. It won't get stuck anywhere below the water line either. 
     
  9. I have this same problem. I have a nice oil pipe but there is absolutely no way to reclaim. It's hand blown and just the way it's shaped.
     
    I always wonder how the oil gets in the water. I make the tiniest dabs and I seem to take it all in. I can't tell  how it would drip down into the water that way.
     
    I tried to dump it out and it just collected all around the glass and stuck to it.
     
  10. Use ISO to clean the rig, it will dissolve the reclaim and you can purge the ISO out of it

  11. From my experience it's the Nail for instance the way the smoke goes through yer nail as a posed to a domes rook ceramic are totally different when I had the Ceramic my rig didn't get clogged for a few days..after I put my HE Flux in she gets dirty every day (which is a bitch) switched my quartz banger on her and now back to normal..
     
  12. Neat.
    My flux keeps my rigs cleaner...
    You'd hate the infinity then.
     
  13. my flux tends to leave more claim then my infinity, maybe I'm remembering wrong tho I haven't used anything but my domeless in a long time.
     
  14. How do you purge the ISO out of it. Are we talking that 91% alcohol?
     
  15. vacuum or in oven. And 91% or higher
     
  16. Use ever clear grain alcohol...no need to purge jus evaporate
     
  17. yup^ ethanol is the best for food grade stuff
     
  18. My oil pipe has so much stuck inside it, I can't imagine it would even dissolve.  I was looking at the stem that goes down into the water, and it's really thick.
     
  19. it will dissolve, just let it sit a little and give it a good shake, warm up the Iso a little bit first
