Do me solid, I'll give ya rep

Should be fine. Just make sure you dry it off thoroughly.

 

its probably made of stainless steel

 

can you unscrew it apart, if you can do that and clean every piece good and sparkly

 

First, boil it in hot water, this will make the resin sticky. If I were you, I'd collect that resin and smoke it.

Take it out of the water, unscrew it, then scrape the resin out of all the metal pieces with a paper clip if you're going to collect it. After you've collected the resin, dip the end of a q-tip in rubbing alcohol and then just clean the metal pieces till their spotless. Repeat this process with the q-tips until the piece is clean. Then discard the q-tips. After the pieces have been cleaned spotless with the alcohol, run them under some warm water just so the alcohol is gone, then you won't have to wait for the alcohol to evaporate. Now you should be left with some resin and a clean piece.

Yeah, it can be taken apart but the question is how do i get the iso off afterwards without using water so it doesn't rust. I'm not sure if it's stainless steel or not.[/quote]

Just let the iso evaporate man, doesn't take long

 

Get a bottle (water bottle, Gatorade, etc etc), put your piece in, fill it with half alc and a little bit of water and vinegar, then put some sea salt in it. Once you've put your ingredients in: SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE, then pour it in a pan and boil it for maybe 10 minutes-30 mins.

Come back, rinse it, then fill it up with only water and shake it.

Clean piece

 

The iso evaporates off..if its still sticky I would think it was residual resin still on it

 

I find boiling a piece is a bad idea just because of how messy it is...and it doesnt really do much to help the resin IMO...

if you want to something I do is warm up my ISO for a few seconds in a hot water bath...put the ISO in a zip lock back and let it float on top of almost boiling water for a minute or two....then you can use the hot ISO with salt...it works wonders if the ISO is hot!!

 

this shit is simple, you gonna need a candle, some water, and find something that can hold the pipe over the candle. put some water in your pipe. light the candle and let your pipe boil

 

Wouldn't putting it in a bag be just as "messy" as putting it in a pot of boiling water for a minute or two?

I had a metal piece similar to the OP's, and I cleaned it by putting it in boiling water. It never really made a mess at all, it was only in for a minute or two. Just enough time to let the resin get sticky, a little would come out, but it wasn't really a mess at all.

Cleaning your pipe one time by putting it in the boiling water shouldn't make it rust. If it does a little bit, then you know it isn't stainless steel and then you can clean it by skipping the boiling part but following everything else in my directions. If you don't want to boil it, you can still just dip the q-tip in the alcohol and start cleaning the metal parts. It will clean it great, but if you boil it then the resin will be a little bit more warm and will come off easier. Nevertheless, not boiling it and just cleaning the metal parts with q-tips dipped in alcohol will still make the piece spotless.

 

Yea a q-tip and alcohol always works. Just take the piece apart, and clean away with the q-tips dipped in alcohol. I personally rinse them off with water after, I just don't like the idea that I'm smoking something that had alcohol on it, even when its evaporated.

 

All i do to clean my pieces is run HOT water through them. Just set it up in your kitchen sink with the water shooting into the bowl and let it run out of the mouth piece. After about 5-10 minutes whatever is left scrape out somehow. Don't worry about rust your piece is stainless steel. Plus you can buy a metal pipe at just about any gas station in America now for 5 bucks.

 

It's small as fuck dry it with a towel when yur done
