Dude i think everyone knows these things. But thick toothpicks are the best for cleaning, cause i have gust a bowl when i used a metal piece. I can push hard with a toothpivk and dont even have to worry about it busting cause the toothpick will before the bowl.

And the thing about the stems , it would be more worth your time if you would turn All of those stems onto hash oil. But i can remember how to make the shit so....
