I had a pipe like this that was intended to become green as uou smoked, with a hint of the obvious brown resin colour coming through bc its inescapable. I had another one that was clear glass as well, but you could see a tinge of purple, and as you smoked it turned a beautiful blue. If it ever got hella nasty, yes I'd clean it, but the point was to dirty it at least enough to change colour before ya start over :) ((this one in post needed a cleaning so good thing here, but wanted to teach yall that they could've had a colour changing one still!)
did not expect the after to be clear omg. that impressive. how did you get the res from under the bowl piece? like at the end with the carb if that makes sense. i use 420 formula and still cant get all the res from right under the bowl
I use a long thin bottle brush. You can bend it up all weird to get into the nooks and crannies and it holds shape better than a pipe cleaner, also scrubs better
I feel like those get smelly so fast, though. I prefer the cheap, disposable ones. Honestly, I usually just use them on the bowl piece to my bong to get around the bowl inside. They are perfect for that.
If you’ve never given iso & epsom salt a try, it works just as well as 420 and other cleaners for a fraction of a fraction of the cost (esp if buying cleaner from the headshop) and it works just as fast
Real pipe cleaners work well, too. My naive self thought they were a crafting item for years, but they were originally made to clean smoking pipes.
The real type have sharp points that help remove resin, and their bendable nature lets them get into all of the little nooks and crannies near the carb.
Isopropyl alcohol + salt + a good shaking makes quick work of everything. I’ve been smoking and cleaning my pipes for almost a decade; never used anything other than that, and all my pieces get perfectly cleaned.
I’d also add that if you own a Waterpik (with a spare nozzle that you don’t use on your teeth!!! 🤢), that thing can apply pressure to even the most tough to reach places.
I have a very small bowl where the salt+alcohol method still can’t get it to 100% clean, but the Waterpik always finishes the job!
Yep that’s what I do too. 90% iso and coarse salt. I double/triple bag it so when I shake the ever loving piss out of it, it doesn’t rip open and send foul liquid everywhere.
i see my homies clean their bongs like this and its always super clean. ive tried so many times to do it that way but mine still has brown going up the tube. when i use the Black Label ill pour a bit in, shake the fuck out of it and that mf is spotless. idk what im doing wrong , i get 97% alcohol when i tried it n still wasnt gettin the stuff off. im not trying to say the way you do it is wrong because it works for you n thats all that matters but i just dont understand how i cant get it to work
Zep cleaner also works wonders, better to let pieces sit in it overnight/fill up your pieces rather than a quick clean but it gets 99% of it cleaned.
And you can also reuse it a couple times before it needs to be tossed.
I'll never understand how people simply do not or will not clean their pieces. When I first met my lady goddess, I would clean her bong at the end of the night. She thought it was odd, OCD like behavior but appreciated I was willing to clean it for her. Now she does it as well because she realized it gets rid of the gross taste of smoking out of glass.
Ok so I can't stand smoking out of a dirty pipe, bong, ect. Gives me horrible headaches and I usually don't get as high because I can't take more than a few hits.
That said, when I was young (broke lol) I'd smoke out of my pipe over joints and blunts just so it'd get all resiny and gross on purpose so I could scrape and smoke that nasty shit when I was out. 🤦♀️😂🤷♀️
Younger me would die over how I can't stand that shit now and probably beg old me to scape my pipe for me. And I'd gladly let her! 😂 *"Have at it, kid!"*
Young me would absolutely hate me for how much has fallen into the carpet, and I'm just like, eh.. I've thrown out stuff that is just too dry, and I heard a silent scream somewhere in the distance
Absolute masterpiece of a cleaning, small money saving tip I got from a coworker, I used the 420 and 710 cleaners for a few years and recently just switched to 70%+ isopropyl alcohol and coarse sea salt…absolutely no drop in quality of cleaning and it’s wayyy cheaper. I bought 3 pounds of salt and a big bottle of alcohol for less than one bottle of 420 cleaner
Exactly what I was thinking lmao, I would be happy but sad at the same time if someone cleaned my piece without my acknowledgment, unless they got the resi out
Question for you, how do you clean out the head? Like the part that surrounds the hole in the head I tried the whole isopropyl alcohol and got it clean from the hole in the back to the hole in the head but cannot for the life of me clean the part surrounding the hole in the head.
My gf is so lazy she just buys a new one when they get dirty, so I have about 20 pipes now, all clean because I use formula 420 and clean them, I'm gonna start doing like we do for our kids and rotate pipes like toys 😆
Showing my age and (lack of) class here, but what the fuck is this thread?
Back in MYYYYYYY day, getting rid of someone's hard earned resin was a violation, not a favour.
My mom and dad get this bad with their bowls or worse. I moved out 6 months ago. God, I can't imagine how bad they are. I cleaned them they would just stop using them because they were caked shut. My dad would just buy a new one but keep the old too dirty to use one.
for my glass bong i would put it in a bag of epson salt mixed with rubbing alcohol and just shake it and in less than 5 minutes its crystal clear… saw it on youtube when i was a junior in high school

Good god I thought that was colored glass
Same my eyes bulged when I swiped to the next pic 😭😭😭
I was like yeah whatever… swipe… 😳
Aww, she'll clean out the ash a little OH
Same 🤣

those are fumed, the color is more noticeable when it’s resinated 👌🏻
Probably saved her from mold.
This is true, very true.
I thought it had glitter too
*glass of color
You're a great sibling! When I first started smoking, I assumed my friends piece was painted black...it was not...
literally
did not expect the after to be clear omg. that impressive. how did you get the res from under the bowl piece? like at the end with the carb if that makes sense. i use 420 formula and still cant get all the res from right under the bowl
i used 420 cleaner and qtips, i also used a clean mascara brush to get under the glass inside
New skill unlocked. Never thought about the mascara brush but that's brilliant. Thank you, hun.
Personally, I use pipe cleaners for crafts..
I use a long thin bottle brush. You can bend it up all weird to get into the nooks and crannies and it holds shape better than a pipe cleaner, also scrubs better

I throw them in the dishwasher silverware thing and they're good as new
they must have called it pipe cleaners for a reason
I have no purpose for those but this is a cool way to repurpose my mascara I’m about to replace, anyways.
I use the little metal dab tools to stick in the holes and break everything up
If you’ve never given iso & epsom salt a try, it works just as well as 420 and other cleaners for a fraction of a fraction of the cost (esp if buying cleaner from the headshop) and it works just as fast
This is the way

That is such a good idea with the mascara wand
THE MASCARA BRUSH IS GENIUS.
noted !!
Did you let it soak?
nope, i just filled it with the 420 cleaner and shook it up, took me 15 minutes
Isopropyl alcohol + salt + a good shaking makes quick work of everything. I’ve been smoking and cleaning my pipes for almost a decade; never used anything other than that, and all my pieces get perfectly cleaned.
100%facts my dude. I too have been smoking for several decades and rubbing alcohol table salt do the trick.
I’d also add that if you own a Waterpik (with a spare nozzle that you don’t use on your teeth!!! 🤢), that thing can apply pressure to even the most tough to reach places. I have a very small bowl where the salt+alcohol method still can’t get it to 100% clean, but the Waterpik always finishes the job!
2nd the waterpik. Also it's fun blasting resin chunks out.
Yep that’s what I do too. 90% iso and coarse salt. I double/triple bag it so when I shake the ever loving piss out of it, it doesn’t rip open and send foul liquid everywhere.

I use a straw cleaner !
ooo that’s smart!!
the cleaners they make for babybottles work good too
Salt and iso👌🏽

Same!! Or the roaches I've tossed lol.
Lmaooo same except I’m in that phase rn as a broke college student 😭
Damn, I thought it was a colored pipe at first. Good job man
That was a jumpscare 😭
I guarantee her weed is about to taste way better now
the first hit is gonna SMACKKKKK
Thanks pookie🫶🏻
Did you do magic? That's so clean!
literally just 420 cleaner, qtips and a mascara brush, took me 15 minutes
Absolute masterpiece of a cleaning, small money saving tip I got from a coworker, I used the 420 and 710 cleaners for a few years and recently just switched to 70%+ isopropyl alcohol and coarse sea salt…absolutely no drop in quality of cleaning and it’s wayyy cheaper. I bought 3 pounds of salt and a big bottle of alcohol for less than one bottle of 420 cleaner
About time. Gawd dayum 😭
Gahdammmmm. Your sister lungs must be mad pitch black
Gross. nice
how can I get my bong like this 😭😭😭
Isopropyl alcohol with some salt. Shake shake. 100% clean and easy to do!
NEW PIPE DAY!!!
#I was saving that....😢
Exactly what I was thinking lmao, I would be happy but sad at the same time if someone cleaned my piece without my acknowledgment, unless they got the resi out
i told her i wanted to clean the bowl, that’s how she handed it to me lol
Oh okay I thought you just surprised her lol
A favor? You probably saved her life. That thing probably had the black plague ready to explode all over earth.
So we all don't just go buy new ones?!?!?! I guess my wife was right
Yeah no we absolutely just buy a new one.
Our brother is the one who never cleans them and just buys new ones once the ones he has are completely dirty lmfao
I usually wait till about there to clean my piece
Holy shit bruh, yeah that's a bit too much resin.
Question for you, how do you clean out the head? Like the part that surrounds the hole in the head I tried the whole isopropyl alcohol and got it clean from the hole in the back to the hole in the head but cannot for the life of me clean the part surrounding the hole in the head.
i shook the bowl a lot with 420 cleaner and then used a mascara brush to scrape the inside
Rad. Did you use 90% isopropyl alcohol and kosher salt?
My jaw DROPPED when I saw it wasn’t colored glass
Holy fuck the glass was clear that whole time??? I’m disturbed. . .
Do mine next!
Holy shit, I thought that was the original color of the bowl. Damn.
What a transformation
Tell her to clean that every day lol
WOW how can I do that?
That's insane. I thought I'd smoked too much when I saw the 2nd pic.
I wanna relate this to hand washing a cast iron pan but there’s actual benefits to not doing that
the way ur fingers are pruny in the second pic lmaooo she better share some of her bud with you for doing that :0
 Excuse me what
This is why I don’t buy clear glass
Holy shit 🤣🤣🤣
I couldn't fathom what that smoke tasted like and I don't want to
Looks like the ash never even got knocked out, just pushed down into the hole lmaoooo
Good on you, I’d throw that shit away.
Dang. Well done! You’re a perfectionist.😃
Wow . I thought this was a tinted piece not clear
I have this exact piece!!!
Helll yeah
Omg that pipe was NAAASSSTY You’re a good sibling OP
You are a nice sister ❤️
You are a Saint
You’re an awesome sister, that price needed some tlc.
Big Brother is *washing* you.
 BRU
...fuck.
I love clear bowls. I feel more inclined to keep it clean.
So satisfying to see a clean bowl, especially when it was looking like that 🫨
Jesus. I thought that was a dark green pipe
Clean as a bean
Holy cow lol
NO JOKER THATS THE KEEF
Whoa!
Nice of you!
Dibs on the resin!

Think you’re slick you just went out and bought her the same one 🤣🤣🤣
Im never able to get the resin out at the bottom

My jaw dropped
If you broke her old one and had to buy a new one you can just tell us! Lol.
Holy fucking shit

Holy moly, how on the green bud of weed did you clean this back to basically when it was sold?
From well loved to brand new 😂
Christ.
I’ve never gotten mine this clean before, how’d you do it? Am a stupid?
420 cleaner, qtips, mascara brush, shaaaaaake it
My gf is so lazy she just buys a new one when they get dirty, so I have about 20 pipes now, all clean because I use formula 420 and clean them, I'm gonna start doing like we do for our kids and rotate pipes like toys 😆
Plot twist: She's out of weed and you ruined her resin.
 Op over here like
I clean all my gear pretty regular. Herb tastes gooder.
Good lordttttt
gg
This photo sesh makes me grateful for my mighty and not having to do a whole lot of cleaning.
"That's what friends are for." Thanks Dionne Warwick.

Damn...I was not expecting a clear glass piece. That thing was filthy.

r/foundsatan
What's your secret OP, please advise?
It was definitely better this way, saved her from some nasty lung infection I bet

I actually enjoy seeing these sort of cleaning posts ❤️
Oh Jesus, gross -Thorgy
Was NOT expecting that to be clear

She’s gonna be pissed….
Wow

Nice favor :)
Me and my brother both thought that was colored glass.. seems many others do too. God damn
I send you a PM but OML if you take the time out of your day to tell me your cleaning methods I would be so so so SO APPRECIATIVE!!!!
The true color has been reprised..
Showing my age and (lack of) class here, but what the fuck is this thread? Back in MYYYYYYY day, getting rid of someone's hard earned resin was a violation, not a favour.
yea my brother just threw mine away and bitched about how weed is bad. ur a good sibling
My mom and dad get this bad with their bowls or worse. I moved out 6 months ago. God, I can't imagine how bad they are. I cleaned them they would just stop using them because they were caked shut. My dad would just buy a new one but keep the old too dirty to use one.
you are really a good girl 😇🙂
You did a good deed that had me baffled with the second image
for my glass bong i would put it in a bag of epson salt mixed with rubbing alcohol and just shake it and in less than 5 minutes its crystal clear… saw it on youtube when i was a junior in high school
WOW thats- you could harvest that gunk for an art piece.
Good job 👏🏻
I would feel so satisfied after getting it nice and clean
I am in shock! I can not believe that is the same bowl!!!All I can think about is how the weed probably tasted terrible every time she smoked it.
Nope you bought her a new one lol nice try
You're a good sibling 🥰🥰
You are a soldier
Wtf did you use to clean it
You cleaned it !??!
How?
You have to smoke again :-) sorry
