    so i've heard you can clean your pipe with rubbing alchohol, but is that bad for you when you smoke it then? because it is a chemical. I heard vinegar can be used, but i'd like to be able to just soak it or something in whatever liquid cuz my pipe has tons of spots that are hard to scrape and stuff, so any help please would be awesome :)

    Alcohol evaporates, it's fine. You can use salt with the alcohol for some scrubbing action, then rinse it with water.

    i tried boiling it in water, i wasnt sure how long you're supposed to leave it in the boiling water, i had it in there maybe like 3 minutes, but it really didnt do anything

    i do it at the cafe i work at. . put the pipe in a cup, fill it with boiling water, let it sit, pour it out, rinse the gunk out with the tap. . repeat 3-4 times and presto.

    Ya, it's fine. It's extremely volatile meaning it evaporates really easily and you can always just do a quick water-wash to get any excess out if you wanna smoke right afterward. Don't use boiling water if you've got rubbing alcohol handy, it doesn't work as well and it'll make the area of your house your cleaning it in stink.

    and when buying your rubbing alcohol make sure to get the 91% stuff it works MUCH better and faster than the weaker stuff.

    one thing you need to be careful of is the rubber parts if your pipe has any.i bought this sweet lookin metal pipe that had like a piece of rubber hose with cool colors and stuff to go over the center piece of the pipe.i couldnt get it off so i just tossed it in the cup of alcohol.big mistake.it dried it out and made it crumble into pieces.

    I just scrape mine usually, but if I really want it clean clean, I boil it.
