Well, my friend's brother decided after a few years of smoking, that he would pass down his bubbler to my friend. Mind you, he is not much of a stoner, and barely ever smokes unless it's with me lol. Well, he lent me the pipe for a while because his parents were on his ass and searching his room (They're not cool with herb), and finally I just told him: I'll give you $10 for it. Win for him, he never used it anyways. And also a win for me because I'm guessing it's worth a lot more than $10? Well here's the beauty, quite dirty because I've been using it the past month, and last night we smoked and 1/8th through it . Oh, and she's called "The Yellow Dragon". (Friend named her, don't like the name, should I rename?) But, Question 1: Is it glass, ceramic, or acrylic? I have no clue. Question 2: How much do you think it's worth? More than $10? Used for 2-3 years I'm guessing. Question 3: I want to clean the pipe with Iso Alcohol but how do I scrape the resin out of it before I clean it? I'd like to get the most resin as possible and smoke it. Thanks in advanced, GrassCity.
yeah, that looks like glass. and you don't need to clean the resin out before rinsing w/ iso. just soak the whole bubbler in iso for a few hours, shaking occasionally - should get most of the resin out. save the alcohol, and you'll be on step 5 of QWISO: http://taimapedia.420chan.org/images/c/cb/Hash2.jpg good luck!
dont waste drinkable alcohol on it dude, its not going to be effective at cleaning it entirely. just go to walgreens or whatever and pick up a 2 dollar bottle of 91% iso
If names of pieces are anything like the names of boats, its very bad luck to rename it. lol. Worth 10 bucks all day though.
I'd say this would be sold for anywhere from 30-50 bucks at a head shop. 10 bucks is a deal and a half
Definitely worth 10. It doesn't look real big in size but definitely legit. lol how can you not tell that it's glass? But for real, keep it clean. Bubblers get nastyyyyy and a clean one makes all the difference in the taste of your hits.
Thanks guys, I'll be sure to clean it soon. And yeah hits do taste like shit. I'm sure it's due to the amount of stuff inside of the pipe. EDIT: If you were wondering it's 4.5in by 5.5in in size. And I wasn't sure what acrylic and ceramic look like lol. I'm not very smart with pipes and bongs.
That's a really good deal, nice looking piece too. People are right though, it needs to be cleaned, yesterday
listen theese people dont no what there talking about. i here people sayin soak it in alcohol i got a bubbler with 4 chambers i smoke several times a day and clean it once a week after i clean it it looks perfectly new again. what u do is get ur bubbler/bowl and a ziplock or plactic bag pour salt into the bowl and the bag and then regular rubbing alcohol in the bag too then shake the bag hard for about a minute and youll see the alcohol turned black from all the resin. take out the peice and rinse with water. let me no how it goes. btw this takes less then 5 minutes and works perfectly.
420 cleaner or Purple Power (both will run you about 6 bucks) unless ur broke just use kosher salt, not iodized, and something at least 70 percent isopropl alcohol. May need several washings...and dont go from hot water to extreme cold, my buddies blew up. And if you are gonna rename it you must clean it imo...
