cant leave my babies

ok, suposely im moving in a few weeks to hawaii and like, i can only take like two luggages with me....but i was wondering, i want to bring my pipes and bong with me over there...but is it okay if i jus pack em in my luggage? i mean, if i clean the resin out, will it be fine? it wud just be like a normal tobaacco 'device' right? because i REALLY dont want 2 give those things away, i want 2 keep them! so whats the dealio? thanks!

 

hey you're moving to hawaii?
that's crazy....

where do you live now?

i would clean them out more than once, use salt and the highest % isopropyl alcohol, or that 420 shit from headshops.


that's crazy......whats the deal how come youre moving there

 

dig it......

is ur bong or pipe glass?
if so than clean them REALLY good
and dont take bud with u......
u can probly find some there
peace

 

oh ya...i duno man, me and my family have been tryna move BACK there for so long. i think it really is suposed 2 happen tho in a few weeks. i liv ein california now like around the bay area(but in a REALLY lame town, its not exactly california'dreamin ill tell u that)

i think ill 'invest' in some of that 420 cleaner stuff if it isnt too expesnive.
what else is good to clean out resin and stuf? at least i have smoking the resin to look foward to, ay?

p.s wuts isopropyl alcohol? is that like rubbing alchoL? thanks again

 

i don't know how the airports are nowadays in the states, especially after 9/11..do most airports usually have drug sniffing dogs?

last time i flied within canada, getting through security was easy shit..i havent flown within the states in a while though

 

if you have no drugs, and totally clean pieces, and your going to hawaii, i think youll be fine. but dont be surprised if they hold you with suspicion

 

Instead of taking them with you, how about mailing them to your new adress on your way to the airport?

 

Last time I flew (this past summer) they ran my bags through the x ray thingy, but thats it, didn't look like any dogs were walking around or anything, butI only had carry on, not sure what procedure they use for stow away. But you can always just pack them with lots of bubble wrap and mail them if you're paranoid. Plus, then you get the package in Hawaii, rip it open, rip your bong, then play with bubble wrap! Its a win win situation!

 

Also, if you clean it real well, smoke some tobacco out of it, and "break it in."

 

if you're going to insist on trying to get them there with you, which is foolhardy to say the least, you should, as suggested already, wash them multiple times with isopropyl alcohol (put them in a glad container with alcohol, let them soak overnight and gently shake them for a bit periodically) you should do this several times over the course of a few days, and use fresh alcohol each time. this will cost a bit of money. they will LOOK perfectly clean after only one or two times with this, but i'd suggest doing it at LEAST three or four times just for good measure. resin smells stronger than pot, and dogs have very sensitive noses...an utterly insignificant amount of resin may likely be noticed by a dog but not a human. do NOT take a pipe on a plane if the pipe has EVER been used, no matter HOW clean it LOOKS. they are well within their rights to search you and to search your luggage, and it just isn't worth the hassle. if you insist on taking them, take the other advice and have them mailed to your new address. i believe fedex doesn't have dogs or anything, but its entirely possible that i'm mistaken, so still go to the effort of cleaning them very meticulously.

what i think would be a better idea is selling them to friends. hold on to the money you get and keep it seperate and use it to buy new peices when you get out there. i know, i get attached to my pipes, too, but remember its just a peice of glass. before you smoked out of it it was just another pipe. the only reason you care about them is because they are YOUR pipes. don't let petty materialism and nostalgia get you in trouble, i think that if you were arrested for it you'd regret ever trying to take them with you. trust me, you may miss your pipes, but if you picked out good ones before you can do it again in hawaii. besides, pipe shopping is fun, and this way just gives you an excuse to spend money on brand new glass!

if you do end up deciding to take them, definitely DO NOT try to take the bong on the plane. they are far harder to clean, and alcohol can only get them so clean....the upper portion will be hard to get perfect, even if it looks ok to you, as well as the inside of the downpipe.

 

well, uh i want 2 take my two pipes wit me cuz i got them from mexico and its just a big memory thing! i dont reely kare bout my bong..its just a cheap,plastic 10 bucker (even tho i love it so)

so where the hell do u find that uh, isopropyl alcohol
what is that shit anyways???????

 

uhhh.......any pharmacy, grocery, or possibly department store........its just rubbing alcohol man, use a search engine if you don't know what it is

get as pure as possible, usually it's 90% or 99% as the highest you can get.

 

If you mail it, you can send it for general pick up, if you don't know your address. The people at the post office will be able to help you out with the details...I've never done it (though I have picked stuff up that way).

 

Formula 420. I have some of that, and it works great. It's under $10 for a bottle.

 

Lol, your more likley to find meth there than most of anything...

But yeah, clean your shit out SPOTLESS if you really wanna take them bad enough... if you love them like you say you do... then you'll take all the steps to ensure a safe pass-thru =)

Deja, didnt you just get a car? How are you hawling that over?

 

Don't put them in your bag, they X-ray that shit dej. Clean them out to get rid of the smell, then tape it to the inside of your upper thigh. During the plane ride, if they get to uncomfortable, just go to the bathroom and put the pipes in your pocket, or something.

Edit//: Oh shit, I see the problem now. the first pipe doesnt look too hard to tape, but the twisty one...

Your best bet is to just stick em in your pocket (if you cant find a way to tape it to a part of you), don't risk them noticing the pipes in the X-ray.

 

hm, my sister just when up to san francisco you should give them to her
and then she will bring them to me and i will blaze thousands of nuggets outta them and take pictures of me with them naked for your viewing pleasure.

seriously though thats kinda sketch. and you can find bongs and stuff inhawaiia no problem.jus leave em to me.

 

Uhh, if you check your bad instead of carry on, I believe they don't x-ray them...they just check them for odd noises and things of the sort...I don't believe they open them.

But in all honesty, I don't think even if they found anything and they were clean, I don't think they'd be too worried about a few 'tobacco' pipes...smoke some tobacco out of them, and don't bring a lighter...and you should be fine...my friend Gordie brought a 3 footer bong back from Canada in a bong bag...granted he hadn't smoked from it yet...but he still brought it.

 

all very very good ideas..im especaily in favor of the bubble wrap idea.
and oooh a pipe taped around my upper thigh? sounds dangerous lol id feel like ....stoner tomb raider or something.

wel u can ship cars overseas, you know. i guess until they build a bridge from california to hawaii, with tons of rest stops and hotels.

but i can just clean it and throw it in my luggage, yah? that sounds like what im gonna do. i mean not the CaRRY ON, but in my luggage. is that okay?

 

They X-ray all luggage now, so that's not a good idea.
Look, trying to get the pipes past security is going to be hard, do what someone above said and mail them.
Or just give them to a good home. When i moved from PA to VA, i couldn't bring anything to my new location, so i just gave my hash pipe to a buddy.
But, taking a pipe on a plane can get you appointment with mister Ben Dover, and even if they can't arrest you, it will still suck.
