take a few resin tokes to heat it, then scrape it... Then if there's shit you can't reach (ie long stem) soak it in rubbing alcohol and run a pipe cleaner through it a few times... 'ats what I do when I get around to cleaning my piece....

I smoke alot of goo and oils so I just wrap foil around my glass pipe put it upside down in a glass cup I have with foil in it to catch the run off and place in a 250 degree oven for about 10 minutes. Than place that in the freezer for a minute or two and there ya go more stuff to smoke. I don't uauslly smoke resin but that oil and goo are pricey.

I scrape. Alcohol + salt makes the resin unsmokable, and I've never heard of microwaving it.

Just take a paper clip, straighten it out, heat up the part of the bowl you're gonna scrape with a lighter, scrape it out, repeat until bowl is mostly clean, roll into a nice fat resin ball and enjoy.

I would be worried about the glass cracking with a rapid cool-off like that :eek:

I scrape it until I can't scrape it any more. Then I scrape a bit more. Thennnn I smoke all that I scraped, and scrape it again, then smoke that again. Usually I'm royally fucked up when I decide to scrape my pipe for resin so I don't mind the tedious monotonousness of the task. I scrape my pipes damn good. Then, I set them in a microwavable bowl of water and boil em in the microwave for 3 minutes or so and some little black flecks rise to the top. Then, my pipes look brand new. Dont do this to bong bowls though, as it really weakens the already thin glass. Instead, I recommend just scraping those.

Yeah. I used to save resin for a rainy day. Then I realized I didn't much care for resin, and I'd rather just smoke it when my lungs have already been exposed to smoke for the day. ((meaning when I'm already high)) Resin just seems to boost the high to a better peak. I actually like the taste when It's not just a hard ball, but when it's sticky oil that basically boils when you smoke it. Mmm.

I like to let my spoon bathe overnight in a little jar of mouthwash. Then, when you scrape it the next morning it comes off SO easy! I think I heard about this actually on this forum, perhaps it was Mello.as.Hello, if my memory serves me... If so, thanks man!
