i got this piece this past spring...have tried the alcohol soak but it doesn't really work...does anyone know how to get this cleaned and/or how to save the resin so i can smoke it?

You have a Major Job on your hands my Brother!

Coat hanger undone with a brillo pad tied to the end maybe . . . :confused: !

Once attached . . . pierce/slide down the piece and scrub like a Cunt!! ;)

Worth a Try! . . Fortunately my tap water is remarkably Boiling Hot and is capable of "de-resining the Bong!

Best o Luck Chief!

Peace

I wouldn't put in right in the boiling water, I usually put in, just under boiling water.

I use 99% alcohol first to clean it. I let it soak in the stuff, for a couple of hours, swishing it around every 20min or so. I set that aside for making oil later.

I then boil some water, let it stop boiling, not like bubbling hot, but just under that. It depends on how thick your piece is. If it's pretty thick, you can put right in the boiling water, but if it's thin, make sure the water isn't on a full boil, just under.

I let it soak in the water for a few minutes, I let it cool down, then I finish washing it out under the tap. Gets my pipes brand spanking new everytime I do this, plus I make some resin oil, put in a 5g vial, put it in the freezer for when dry times happen. Good luck!

thanks...mind sharing how you make the oil?

thanks...mind sharing how you make the oil?

Sure, I'd love to.

Now, I have to make this clear. You must do this outside, you must. If done inside, what happens is when you vap. the fumes away, it builds up in the house, and any spark, from a lightbulb, or the fridge turning on, will get you caught in the middle of a flashfire. A friend of mine decided to do a butane run, inside of his house. The invisable gas filled up his lower level home, a spark happened. Lets just say he got 3rd degree burns over 30% of his body, from something as stupid as making oil. So do it outside, please.

Moving on. As I said before, I let the Iso soak in the pipe for a couple of hours, swishing it around every 20min or so.I now vap. away the Iso so I have the oil left over.

I used a small electric burner to vap. away the Iso. NO open flames, NO smoking around it, as it is highly flammable. I went outside, and put the Iso oil in a small pot that can handle heat. I then start vaping it away. Making oil takes a bit of practice, just so you know :) You don't want the Iso to bubble or boil, once it starts bubbling a bit, slightly lift the pot off of the burner, just a little bit so not so much direct heat is on it. Too much heat and the Iso will combust into a flame. So, I keep rising and lowering the pot so it doesn't overboil, keep doing this until ALL of the the Iso is gone.

How do you know though? Thats what takes practice. You have to know when to stop boiling the Iso so you don't burn the oil. I take some cold water, like a hose or something, and lightly wet the bottom of the pot, so it cools. I then see how thick or runny the oil is. If it's runny after cooling, more Iso needs to be burned. If it is thick, not too runny, but a happy medium, then it is ready. Again, this takes some practice so don't be dissapointed if it doesn't work out great the first time :)

But please, do this outside. It can be done inside, but there is a huge risk involved, so best to do it outdoors. Anyways, hope this helped. Peace :cool:

What the fuck is iso?

[Nochowderforyou]

What the fuck is iso?

Iso=Isopropanol Alcohol

It comes in 70% or 99%. Use the 99% as the 70% won't get it clean. Peace

thanks! great instructions...can't wait to try it (outside, of course...thanks for the heads up on that!) will let you know how it turns out.

here is a post from a while ago that includes pics about making oil...its not with resin its with leaves and shit you generally dont smoke...but i figure its (almost) the same method...youll just have to miss out the grinding it up and that bit...
