your wrong about boiling. your pipe is exposed to a hell of alot hotter temps while your combusting outof the bowl then it will ever reach in the boiling water. secondly scraping your pipe actually causes little scratches to form inside your pipe, which (over time) can weaken it. get your facts straight before you post here.

i just put a little rubbing alc down the bowl hole, cover the carb and bowl with my fingers, and shake the hell out of it for a little bit, dump and repeat till its clean. i keep my pipes immaculately clean so this only takes a few mins for me. for the hard to reach places, i use a q-tip dipped in alc. or a small wooden stick (the stup left over after burning an incent is perfect for cleaning)
Frickr Reviewed by Frickr on . glass piece question I boil my glass piece very rarely (but need to soon) and am wondering, the resin chunks that come out in the water...can they be dried out and smoked or something or do I just rinse it all down the drain? Rating: 5
