What is a good way to clean out a glass pipe?

Put the pipe in a ziplock plastic bag with some rubbing alcohol/isopropyl with a bit of salt and leave it to soak a min then shake and lastly rinse off when you're happy with it.

 

here;s a video guide, there are many on youtube this is just the first one that caught my eye

 

ISO & Salt is grand

 

Yeah Iso and salt in a bag is the classic method that's the cheapest and just as effective as any of the fancy cleaners out there. Using q tips or pipe cleaners for those hard to reach spots of resin that won't come off as easy is also a good idea.

 

I really like this bag idea. Does anyone else have any interesting/clever ways of cleaning a pipe?

I usually just put rubbing alcohol in a pipe, hold al the holes and then just shake it around and then do the same thing with water. Then keep alternating between the two till it gets clean. That tends to work but not all the time. So if anyone has any other ideas I'm all ears to hear about it!

 

Alcohol 90% better - let it soak - use course salt with alcohol and shake hard if it wont come clean

 

I find course sea salt to be the best use for this sort of thing.

 

I just like to get new ones when they start tasting like poot poot

 

Nope.
I place a pipe in a zip-loc bag, cover it with 92% iso and let it soak for, perhaps, three hours.
I hang it from the dish rack side, using a potato chip bag sealing clamp.
Drain and rinse with tap water.
Pipe clean.

 

Cleaning your glass pipe doesn't have to be so hard. Just scrape off the bulk of the resin and then drop it into a Ziploc baggie with 90-100% isopropyl alcohol for a good three-hour soak. You can also use a bit of non-iodized salt as an agitator for faster cleaning.

 

Prob over a million post on this topic what’s wrong with just one more

 

Must be nice to have that kind of money to throw around.
