How clean do you keep your glass?

  1. I usually clean my spoons, chillums and other fumed glass only as needed, when the hits start to taste funky or they get clogged up, for reasons of the colors and plain ol laziness or that it's a pain in the ass.

    On the other hand, I keep my clear, scientific glass OCD clean. I just love the look of it and there's nothing like the taste of a green hit from a clean piece (other than a nice vape). I compulsive clean my bong rig with iso and salt every few bowls I put through it.

    I put a before and after of what I consider filthy for this piece. Wish I had some pics of my fumed up dry pieced but, alas, I can't at the moment.

    Anyone like to just let their nice glass just go nasty? Put up some pics if you do.

  2. Glass I use will get cleaned regularly, every 3-5 days.  I generally put my pieces in rotation so if something is dirty I can grab a clean piece.  Although I tend to use my straight tube mostly so that receives the most attention.
     
    Sometimes people will offer me a hit from a dirty ass bong, It's like are you serious, I am not going near that thing, i'll just puff on my pax or a joint.  They always laugh at me, but I am the one laughing in the end.
     
    Don't think I have dirty pics but here are some clean ones.

  3. i have 3 or 4 pieces i use on the regular. but like you i like my clear glass to be clean clean clean. i have an old sherlock that i use dirty. it is kind of a go to, all in one, get it done quick and dirty kind of piece. i will use it until it clogs or breaks then replace it. i like to gift or get rid of old pieces from time to time. gives me a reason to buy more glass and the wife doesn't get on my case from having all kinds of crap laying around. a winning combination if there ever was one lol! [​IMG]
     
  4. I clean my daily driver every other day. It's pretty much for my use only and I like it clean.
    Although I don't feel the need to clean the bowl on it as often.

    I have some acquaintances that I don't let in my house, so for them I have my back porch bong that I'll clean occasionally.

    I can put up pics later
     
  5. everyday, I clean whatever I use on a daily basis and I don't leave water sitting in the piece.  Water can permanently etch a line into the glass, well, it's not the water but the salts.  It's different from a hard water stain.  My glass is expensive so any marks on it decreases the value if I want to sell it, plus it looks ugly when you have stains or bloom marks and shit on your glass.
     
  6.  All the glass and tubes get an ISO and water flush after every use. Unless, I am stoned when I am done,,,,,,never mind..
     
  7. Pipe gets a bath every week or so. Bong would get one every few sessions... if I owned a bong.
     
  8. When there is a dark film on my DD. since I don't often have the luxury of cleaning it cuase of smell.

    Now my other one I haven't used it that much but is starting to get cloudy for its first time. And don't know how my dad is going to take me cleaning it. althought......he's Rilly okay with the weed and bongs and other stuff
     
  9. After every bowl. I rotate my pieces too..
     
  10. Just like you OP. I like it to be clean as new after every 3 bowls or so. I clean the bowl itself every use though. I get 91% iso and use qtips for the bowl. Only use salt about once a week. OH And for anyone that likes clean glass, a carbon filter is amazing!
     
  11. Most of my bongs, I've probably clean once a month, or whenever it starts smelling like resin.

    My glass spoons, I'll smoke until nasty and throw away. They're all free pieces from dispensaries.

    I have a nice octopus chillum that needs cleaning, dreading it though.

    My mobius, like OP, I'm OCD with it and clean it almost nightly. My sink is always resinated :(
     
  12. Pour alcohol in your sink and wipe it down. You may want to soak some on a cloth for the tough stains.
     
  13. Much better than using a toothpick lol
     
  14. I clean my glass every day. I'm convinced THC gets lost to tar residue. The dirtier the glass gets, the less high I seem to get off a bowl of the same weed. Clean it and the taste and the high are first rate again. Using reverse osmosis or distilled water to rinse the glass after cleaning leaves it sparkling. You can also leave ISO water in a piece without etching it. :)

    My bongs I never clean since I really dont use them, only my friends do and they kinda rotate them too. They never get to the point where they are disgusting since the use is limited. Usually what sets me off to clean them is me getting a rig from the cabinet and then smelling that disgusting flower piece smell, then I just get into it and take all the bongs out (6) and do a major cleaning of every bowl every stem and every tube. What makes me do it is the smell it creates not really how they look!!!!
     
    My rigs however get a bath pretty often, like right now I am ALWAYS using my steve bates x worm diffusion pump tube and I clean it twice a week. 
     
  16. For my daily driver I clean my ash catcher at the end of every night before I go to bed and the bong usually every other day.
    My bowl usually like once a week or longer depending on how often I use them.
     
  17. Clean glass is happy glass, for me every other day. Cleaning supplies aren't expensive
