so when should i clean out my pipe? i got my 1st one this summer.. and havent cleaned it.? wondering how much more i can still smoke in it lol
until you think its going to be clogging up. or your bowl shrinks. how much and often do you smoke out of it? Don't let that resin go to waste tho. Boil up some water and dip your bowl into it for 5 seconds. take a knife and scrape the bowl part, take out all the resin, and unless you want to take the resin out of the inside too. just just dip the rest of the bowl in the water and remove, and wash it out.
i just clean out the bowl.. torch it with a lighter then wipe it clean with some TP.. other than that.. i let the resin build up...
^what if your never out though? I would clean it when you can clearly see that the hole of the bowl has shrinken.
^^^ im never out lol.... i just keep the bowl part clean because then the cherry dont burn up the resin and make the bud taste like poo
and im convinced that the resin works as a insulation and helps keep the smoke cooled down.. whether or not it does.. i dont care.. seems to keep the smoke smoother when a pipe is dirty
^ yeah i have a couple of pipes that look sick as hell when there dirty. but then i have some that look better clean.
