dont boil your pipe, thats the dumbest thing you can do especially if its a glass piece, it weakens the temper of the glass. which means they break easier. use rubbing alcohol, its cheap and wont hurt the piece in anyway. Be smart people you spend money on the stuff take care of it.


How to properly clean a glass piece or any piece for that matter:

1. Get a ziploc bag

2. put your piece in there with enough iso alcohol to cover it

3. let it sit in there for a while(really depends how bad the pipe is)

4. after a while shake the bag up

5. take pipe out and rinse it out with the hottest water your hands can stand

6. any leftover residue can be easily removed with pipe cleaner sticks or Q-tips

7. after its dry load it up and toke

8. dont listen to bad advice!!
Ub3rB0ng Reviewed by Ub3rB0ng on . Boiling a good way to sanitize? Well, a friend of mine recently gave me a pipe (looks similar to this one**) but I noticed it had been used before. Just to be safe I wanted to clean and sanitize it. I've looked all over the internet for a good way, and I eventually came across the boiling technique. I just boiled it for 20 minutes and am now wondering if it's safe to use? Also, what would be a good way to be rid of the resin the collected around the end of the stem? Rating: 5
