Cleaning Freebase (DMT) Pipe?

What's the best way to clean these buggers?
My poor pipe has been through hell while I've introduced the masses to playing the Dead Man's Trumpet. There is quite a bit of residue built up in the glass bulb and some recrystallization on the walls of the tube. I was able to heat the bulb and pour our a good portion of the brown gunk, but it's still quite dirty.
I'm not looking salvage what's stuck in there. I'd just like to blast off tonight or tomorrow with a fresh, clean hit! Been there a handful of times but still have not been able to fully 'let go'.
Would hot water do the trick? ISO? I'd rather not use Naptha as I hate the fumes.

One of the nice things about freebase pipes is that they're really cheap, buy a new one

Aye, I don't like cleaning thangs with q-tips when I'm going to smoke them later. Often, cotton gets stuck behind and won't come out.

Aha!
Many thanks, again, Nature Boy! ..just so happens that I have all of those supplies on hand already.

I don't really feel like putting in the work to get the small amount of leftovers out. I just want it clean.

This is true, but the headshops here don't sell 'em anymore. I managed to get this one many months back before the one shop stopped carrying them. I don't mind ordering one online, but something keeps poking me and telling me it's a good time to give 'em another visit.

Excellent. Do me a favor if you will. Follow the instructions, and report back on how you like the results. Bet your pipe will sparkle, literally like new. Flush with plenty of water and you are done. When dry, it's ready for use.

I'm not sure if I'll get to it this evening or tomorrow. Would you like me to reply to that thread or just inform you personally of the results?

Yessir!
I read this description of the experience not long ago.. a transcription from Terence McKenna, I believe:
Quote:
They are - the word that comes to mind is: they are Zany. It's like a Bugs Bunny cartoon, uh, gone mad. And all of this energy - they are elves. This is what elves are. It's this weird thing, where they love you - or they like you a lot, but you can tell that their sense of humor is Weird. And that you must be very careful of the deals you cut with these things, [...] in fact I've spent so much time trying to understand what this is. It has different kinds of feelings about it. One is (and this really threw me for a loop when I figured this out) after many many of these trips, and analyzing this place I kept going to, I finally realized: "this place is... somebody very weird... it's their idea of a reassuring environment for a human being! It's like a playpen. It's this warm. well lit, secure, womblike environment, and when I break into it they these things, the elves and the toys, are toys! These are things to amuse me. The way you would hang, uh, cubes and blocks above a cradle... a playpen, you know? Because children are supposed to coordinate shapes and bright colors. That's what these things are: they are toys to try and get me to coordinate my perception in this place. It's a holding area of some sort - someone's created this and is watching me.
It really clicked with me. It's hard to describe, but this is the most accurate description I've run across.

warm acetone and a bit of epsom salts, salts are somewhat soluble so add after the solvent or youll have a chunk of salt.

An update to Nature Boy's tek (I don't have the same pipe as shown above):
It worked just fine and my pipe is squeaky clean.
I boiled it in hot water, first, rather than just running it under hot sink water as the tek seemed to suggest. I'm unsure if this was habit from boiling my marijuana pipes in the past.. but it's simply how I went about it. It worked well.
There was still a bit of gunk, so I poured in the vinegar and shook it around. I had to do this a few times to get all of it. The pipe cleaner worked well for the "tube" part of my pipe, but did not reach well into the bowl portion (rose bud, or whatever you may call it). Adding vinegar, shaking, and pouring it out multiple times eventually got rid of the all the gunk.
Afterward, I just rinsed it out very well under the sink in hopes to rid the vinegar... and voila!! A sparkly clean pipe.
I'm a happy camper. 
I blasted off after it dried and had an excellent time. 
Thanks for the help, Nature!

Sometimes getting into all those nooks and crannies can be difficult. Clever bending of the pipe-cleaner into a spiral or hook shape often can get every last speck, if you are obsessive-compulsive! 
Glad it worked out for you, my friend!
