Well, first off I don't wanna use alcohol or w/e to clean stuff, I just wanna boil it, it seems easier? Or how much better does alcohol work? What kind do I get? How much is it? ____ But anyways assuming I'm just boiling stuff. I've got a bubbler this shape: http://cdn3.ioffer.com/img/item/597/943/91/bXFh4DQiqH8ojEy.jpg I've got a regular bowl and a oneie. I don't think I can do the oneie because its wood cased around the metal, so I think the wood would expand and I wouldn't be able to fit it back in my dugout. How could I clean out the dugout without the same problem? _____ I'm thinking for the bubbler if I just put it in a pot over the stove it will boil and because of the shape, all of the resin and such should just come right out through the bowl part. But what is the best way for the bowl? I'd think it would work to put it vertical so everything flows out the mouthpiece, but idk how to position it. Suggestions?
there is a product called grunge off you simply pour it in a dish, lay the pipe in the liquid, let it sit, and its cleaned completely other than that, rubbing alcohol, also known as isopropyl alcohol, denatured alcohol, etc and salt is the best way. almost any supermarket or corner store will sell it, usually it costs $1 - $2 a bottle. the higher the % the better. try to get 99% but any will work just fine just pour some in your bubbler, shake it for a minute, pour it out and rinse it clean. i dont see why anyone would boil a pipe. its dangerous to you and your pipe, and it does not work anywhere as good as alcohol or grunge off
you forgot to add that you will need salt. Straight alcohol may get rid of some of the gunk, but the abrasiveness of the salt is what will make it as clean as new.
Stick your piece in the freezer and then get a metal wire super hot and poke around in it till it's clean
Thanks for the advice guys. So the alcohol & salt mixture just takes it right off? heh I never would have thought that. I wouldve still thought you would need heat or something. And to RangeLife... I don't know what to say really. That idea is... creative.
it will...just gotta slosh it around a bit within your piece. If it's a small piece like a pipe or a bong slide put it in a ziploc with the iso+salt mixture and shake it around in there.
i think it did say salt in my post if you got some saran wrap sitting around your house, you can stretch it over the bowl, carb, and mouthpiece after you put the salt and iso in there, then just shake it like your jacking off and it will be clean in a minute or two hope your pipe is sparkly clean by the end of the day
Pretty much just get rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, both for a decent sized bottle is less than $4. Add some table salt and just rinse and repeat. My double bubbler was clogged to hell and this shit cleaned it. Took about 7 or 8 rinse cycles though cause I hadn't cleaned it in 18 months.
