However, it is necessary to clean your chillum regularly for it to be able to function properly.

With a toothpick, remove all large smoke resin debris and clumps that got stuck on the chillum bowl. Though this may be quite challenging, it’s better to use smaller objects like toothpicks than knives and paperclips that might scratch the chillum glass. Tap the chillum to dislodge the debris, and then repeat the process until the bowl is clean. Then, pass a pipe cleaner through the body of the chillum to loosen any smoke resin and tobacco pieces. Shake the chillum gently to let the crumbs fall out, and pass the cleaner through the body repeatedly until no more crumbs fall out when you tap the chillum.

Pour isopropyl alcohol into a plastic bowl and submerge your chillum in it for a minimum of two hours. Once two hours are up, remove the chillum and use a pipe cleaner on it once more. You can repeat these processes over and over again to make sure that the chillum is thoroughly cleaned. Once the chillum is spotless, rinse it under running water to get rid of the isopropyl alcohol. Leave the chillum out to dry, and when it is completely dry, you can now use it to smoke again.

Cleaning paraphernalia like pipes and chillums on a regular basis ensures a smoother smoking experience.
