    I was showering with my bong earlier this week....

    I used the formula 420 cleaning solution on both my bong and bowl... I used toothpicks to help wipe the resin from my bowls stem and idk...somehow some of the fluid got in there and it's not even coming out whatsoever. It doesn't even slosh around!

    Also, it whistles like a motherfucker when I hit an empty bowl.
    I'm not sure if it's because it doesn't fit snuggly, the hole of the bowl itself or what.

    Does anyone else have these issues and am I stuck with my bowl like this forever? :(

    It's really pretty actually. It's orange with green markings coming up that looks like leaves are holding it...

    can you place your mouth over the push of the bowl and blow thru it?

    Get some guitar wire and get it curled up inside the bowl and start going all snake-rape on your bowl.

    Drop it in boiled water?

    How did you manage to get liquid inside it if it won't come out?
    pics?

    Get it wet again and use Q-tips to do the cleaning instead of the toothpicks. It might absorb some of the fluid etc. I clean mine in the shower as well and just use Q-tips. It does a great job.

    I can't upload any pics... It's hard to see anyway cause I can mostly tell by how it felt heavier after I cleaned it :p

    I had some pipe cleaners....WHY oh why did I not think of them!?

    NEVER DO THIS

    If your going to boil glass, you need to do it slowly. Put the glass in the water, then proceed to let the water to its job.



    OP; As far as getting liquid of of bowls, use some pipe cleaners, or a twisted up piece of paper towel. You might just have to wait and let it air dry.

    I don't know man I always dry my bowl by aiming the crème brûlée lighter on it for a good 20 seconds.. I doubt a bowl can't handle some boiling water but if you have any bad experiences with it yeah then better don't :p ..

    It creates unnecessary stress on the glass, that will compromise its strength. Heating it will a torch is different then submersing it in boiling water while to glass is still cold.
