I use alcohol, paper towels and a long thin brass rod to clean out my waterpipes. I do this about once a month when the inside gets nasty looking. I do it for sanitary reasons if nothing else.Quote:

I have a little jar of alcohol I soak my slides in between uses so they stay unobstructed and hit better.
IMO, it's a great idea to have good bong hygiene!
Wow, that seems rather a high standard of cleanliness. :) I saw your name in High Times btw.

Regardless if it's bad for you or not. I clean my bowl out at least once a month, usually the end of the month after smoking out of it constantly. There's nothing I like more than a resin ball bowl to start the month off
I use fresh water every time I use my bong, I never leave it in there. I usually use iso on my smaller stuff. My bong is new so I've yet to have to clean it. Also, I've used paint thinner in the past, which will get your glass suuuper clean, but you gotta make sure you rinse it out with water after, you don't wanna inhale any of that shizz.
Paint thinner is not a good thing to use....it leaves a film behind and is *NOT* water soluable. For a buck or 3 you can get a quart of 80% alcohol at wally-world. that works a lot better, and is water soluable so it will rinse out with water.Quote:

I use to have a never ending resin ball at the bottom of a pipe that would just roll around and gather resin,, I could hit it like a hundred times without it burning out.. Lol. Yes resinated are harsher.
after cleaning my bowl that first time, it all the hits tasted harsh after it was cleaned, so i guess i do realize the bad taste, i think that it was just that i had forgotten what the weed orginally tasted like since it was really my only piece for a while, and when i was first smoking out of it i was just smoking schwag, but now, i know better, and am probably going to clean my pieces tomorrow when i get paid and am able to get some cleaning accessories. I really wish i could put my slider into a bowl and just shake it around with some alcohol and salt and not worry about it breaking, but i know that wont do, what do you guys suggest for cleaning the slider out really well, it is a color changing one, so i have a chamber around the bowl that needs cleaning as well, and really the salt and alcohol only work so well.
real easy.... alcohol, cotton swabs, paper towels, and maybe a toothpick or 2 is all you need. just make sure you rinse it out really well when your finished.Quote:
