Best way to clean a bowl?

Discussion in 'Smoking Accessories Q&A' started by dean12345, Jul 17, 2012.

  1. I just bought this little bowl a couple weeks ago and I have smoked quite a bit since. There is currently a bunch of resin and it just looks nasty. Anyone know a good and quick way to clean them?
     
  2. Soak it in rubbing alcohol
     
  3. ...what he said ^^^:smoke::wave:
     
  4. Isopropyl Alcohol 70% or above.

    If you want to buy a reusable product I would recommend Grunge Off.
     
  5. I'd say get a 1 gallon freezer bag. The one that actually zips such would be ideal.

    Place the piece in the bag.

    Fill with Isopropyl Alcohol 70% + until the piece is covered.

    Pour a great deal of salt into the bag. Honestly I eyeball it haha.

    Let it soak and shake it up every now and then. 30 min - 1 hr and she'll be spotless.
     

  6. i personally use this method except with 90% alcohol and the baggy from my last pick up, it works great, and you can let the resin dry and smoke it

    Why? How is iso hash made?
     
  9. Ya, you actually can smoke it. The alcohol all dries out as its 90% and If you leave it in a bowl the alcohol will evaporate and you can smoke what's in the bowl
     
  10. I used to work at a Starbucks

    We had this stuff called "Urnex" to clean the coffee urns.

    It makes any bong or pipe look like brand new again.

    Since I don't have the ability to steal it from Starbucks anymore, I just go out and buy "Coffee Machine Descaler"

    The best part is it's totally non-toxic and evaporates quickly.
     
  11. rubbing alcohol and epsom salt. You can use sea salt too but I think epsom is the best because it's more rough and crystal so it scratches the resin off better. I got the rubbing alcohol at cvs and the epsom salt was right next to it.
     
  12. You can use a freezer bag and 91% ISO just as posted above, just let it soak for a few hours then dump the remaining brown liquid or evaporate in a glass dish and smoke the tar left over. Once your piece is clean make sure to rinse in water unless you like inhaling isopropyl fumes.
     
  13. I put mine in a sandwich bag with 91% Iso and some salt( I use sea salt cause it's bigger and I have it at home) and just shake the bag trying get the salt in and out of piece
     
  14. I personally use vodka instead of rubbing alcohol cause vodka doesn't taste shitty like rubbing alcohol :D

    Taste? You shouldn't be tasting the solvent you're cleaning your piece with at any time. Lol. Gotta rinse that shit throughly afterwards.

    Ha it doesn't take long. And I wouldn't wanna be inhaling alcohol vapors. Terrible for your lungs. And your body in general.

    And glad you're a fan. Awesome show I agree. Obviously :p
