Cleaning Out Your Chillum

No Comments

Of all the smoking pipes and accessories, the chillum is probably the hardest to clean, because you cannot separate the stem from the bowl. 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.

How to Clean a Glass Bong

1 Comment

Cleaning a glass bong is necessary. It can be cleaned using a bottle brush and water. In the cleaning process, the use of a more powerful solution is not necessary; therefore, there’s really no need for you to purchase a high-priced glass bong cleaning solution. If you wish to, you can consider this simple method in cleaning your glass bong, using a few household materials.

Things to prepare before cleaning include white rice, clean towel, and rubbing alcohol. The cleaning procedures follow, but make sure that you are familiar with the different parts of the glass bong, which include the mouthpiece, where smoker’s mouth is located; bong chamber, where smoke is collected; bong base, which holds water; and the stem, which holds the bowl/cone piece.

Cleaning your bong is easy and aids a smooth smoking experience. To clean your glass bong follow these simple instructions:
1.    Pour out all water from the bong’s chamber and remove the stem. Add hot water to the chamber, making sure the water is very hot or boiling. Cover all the holes and shake. To remove excess debris, rinse it with cool water.
2.    Pour half a cup of white rice into the chamber. Add half a cup of rubbing alcohol. Cover all holes using your fingers and shake for some minutes, until the stains are removed completely.
3.    Drain the rubbing alcohol from the glass bong; you may tub drain or sink it.
4.    Again pour hot water into the chamber and shake it to remove excess alcohol or rice. Repeat two or three times.
5.    Dry the bong completely using a clean towel. Once completely dry, reassemble the parts.

Bong and Pipe Accessories and Cleaners

2 Comments

Pipe accessories and smoking pipes are abundantly available. Pipe accessories such as ashtrays, lighters, pipe stands, pipe cleaners and pipe cabinets are manufactured for our smoking convenience.

One of the pipe accessories that a person needs to have and learn more about is the pipe cleaner. Pipe cleaners are brushes especially designed to clean smoking pipes. A narrow rod shaped device, the pipe cleaner is used to clean the stem and hard to reach parts of tobacco pipes and bongs.

Normally, pipe cleaners for smoking use absorbent materials to better scrub out dirt inside the pipe. Technical pipe cleaners sometimes use microfilament polyesters because they don’t just absorb, but remove liquids.

There is also a range of craft pipe cleaners on the market; these are often thicker and longer than standard pipe cleaners. Craft pipe cleaners can be purchased in many different sizes and colours, but may not be as useful when applied to cleaning smoking pipes and bongs, as some of them cannot absorb liquids.

Tips for Maintaining a Clean Bong

1 Comment

Bongs come in many different shapes and designs, which can make it difficult to clean, particularly the inside of the bong. But leaving it unclean may result in an unpleasant look and a bad smell that spoils the taste and smoking experience.

Here are some tips on cleaning your bong:

1. Remove the water from the bong directly into the toilet bowl; bong water contains a lot of resin and has an unpleasant odour.

2. Fill the bong with hot water and put your hand on top of the bong to seal the opening. Hold the bong at a horizontal level and then shake it briskly in a reverse action. Empty the water from the bong into the toilet bowl and flush at once.

3. Refill with a small amount of rubbing alcohol, directly into the base of the bong.

4. Add a few tablespoons of salt (sea salt) or rice; it will scrape the inner sides of the bong while the alcohol cleans down the residue of the resin.

5. Cover the top opening of the bong with your hand and start shaking it vigorously in a horizontal position, turning it over and around roughly. Be sure to reach all the interior surfaces of the bong and then flush it again into the toilet bowl.

6. Replenish the bong with clean hot water and shake it to and fro. You can now pour the water into the sink because all the residues are gone through the previous process conducted.

7. Spray the bong internally and externally with an all-purpose cleaner flavoured with lemon or lime. Rinse it with clean water and let it dry in an upside down position.
