Are you tired of smoking a bowl that has three inches of black smelly resin covering it?

Tired of looking at your beautiful bong with weird brown stains from the bong water?

Have a vapor whip (tube) that is yellow and dirty?

There is a SIMPLE CHEAP way to solve these problems.

Purchase a bottle of rubbing alcohol 70% works fine but the 90 or 99% ones work best.

Get your bowl, pipe, bong, vapor tube, whatever, and first get the bulk of the shit out by putting it under a stream of  hot water from the faucet, or you can put your piece into a pot and boil it for a few minutes to help loosen up the resin.

After you have exhausted the hot water trick this is where the alcohol kicks ass.

Just pour some into your bong or bowl or tube.  Cover whatever holes are open and shake the shit out of it.  Adding salt helps a great deal as well because it works as an abrasive and helps rub off the gross resin.

The alcohol should quickly turn yellow or even brown depending on how dirty you piece is.

This process may need to be repeated up to five times, depending on how clean you want your piece and how dirty it is.

Cleaning your pieces regularly is a very good idea, because a bowl covered in black resin is going to ruin the taste of the pot you are smoking and also you are going to end up smoking some of that resin which is GROSS  Tongue

I hope this is new information for some of you, and i hope it helps!!

whoa now, smoking ressie kicks ass... when im in a rut and don't got any herb, i boil my glass pieces and the slider from my bong, run a pipe cleaner through it a few times to pull all that gooey ressie out, let it dry for a day (the fridge helps in this task) and toke up straight ressie...  Shit gets me wicked stoned and its a nice treat, change of pace.. obviously the mean green is better but desperate times call for desperate measures!!!

im gonna try the alchohol on my bong tho

I use the hot water trick all the time with some q-tips to clean the slider, looks like new every time.  Havent really got around to thoroughly cleaning the bong, aside from putting hot water in it and shaking it up.  I usually keep it pretty clean but when I took out the female piece and looked inside, it was all black and spotchy.  Ive used the alcohol with pipes before but never a bong before, curious how it will turn out.

I can deal with some res on a pipe, but usually after like 5 bong loads or whenever were done smoking for a bit, I usually clean the slider as I cant stand that being dirty.  But does the bong still smell like ass after you clean it?

Fuck them god damn lights.  Ive got twelve candles, Ive been waitin to burn them bitches.

^ yes usually unless you use strong smelling soap when you clean it, but even then it still has that lingering smell...at least in my experiences

yeah thats the worst part of using the boiling water method, your house/apartment smells like warm bong water... rubbing alc/salt/cold water is your best bet.

Goo be gone also works very well but is toxic. I would go with the alcohol and rock salt method.

I am a newbie and just became a medical marijuana member a few day ago. I hear what you are saying about cleaning and will do that when needed, but my question right now is being that I have only used my pipe/bowl 4 times and I can already see the resin building up should I clean it now or what? Should I smoke it or should I clean it? In other words
is resin good to smoke or not?

Smoking res is disgusting if you ask me.  If you re desperate you can smoke it if you want but I never do.  If your pipe looks relatively clean, you dont have to clean it but its all up to you.  I personally clean my slider almost every time I dont using it if I have the opportunity.  Thus, it doesnt smell like shit, res doesnt build up, you get nice hits every time, and its impresses people that it looks new every time.  But its all preferance.
