ya. im surprised you didnt know that. even without salt it should work fine. i only use salt when im cleaning a bong cuz i swish it and it helps. use LOTS of salt tho. but for a pipe i'd just soak it in iso then use warm water when cleaning it. should work good. while using the warm water you can use a toothpick to scrape stuff out, comes off easy. i did my bowl on the weekend.

Scrubbing Bubbles works damn nice also, then putting salt with water and shaking it up.. gets rid of most everything.

Dont you have bong-cleaning stuff in your headshop? Just fill it with steaming water and put some of it in. Let it rest over night and : voila! Your free to hit again!

theres some stuff called 420 solution they sell at headshops. i put it in a plastic bag with my piece and shake that bitch up for awhile and it gets 90 percent of the resin out.

like 3 cups boilling water plus a loads worth of oxy clean does a 100% clean job on my glass the oxy clean that doesnt dissolve acts as an abrasive when im shaking the bowl around.

Lately I discovered that using Iso works really well (not so on plastic, but on metal parts of bongs and pipes). I don't know where to buy rubbing alcohol from, but I had some CD cleaner, which is actually Iso alcohol solution in a bottle, so I dipped a cotton wool bud in, then swabbed away on the cone piece and voila. The resin came off like it never existed in the first place. The only trouble is that using it on an acrilyic bong is that it leaves streaks on the plastic. Anybody have any tips on getting resin off acrylic?

Also, I wanna add that I really DON'T recommend boiling a pipe, especially all night long...
You might come down in the morning to a pan full of broken glass and evaporated black gunk.

I almost caught my apartment on fire when I left water boiling in a kettle to make some tea and forget about it. I open my bedroom door and the whole place is filled with smoke and the kettle was melted and on fire. My smoke alarm was taken down b/c the batteries were dead and it kept beeping.

thats all fine and dandy if you have a headshop in your town. what most people dont seem to realise, even on the marijuana sites, most people live out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere (like me, i live in southwest kansas, and the nearest head shop is about 200 miles north and south) but back to dudes question, i always clean mine out with very hot water in oxyclean, that stuffs amazing, and if you add some baking soda to the mix it will keep your pipes smelling fresh much longer, works great for smelly ass bongs.

My only problem with cleaning is not the mthods or getting the thing clean, its the fact that the colors aand patterns on many of our pieces look a lot better when blackened with resin, hell many are designed with this in mind. I have the most trouble finding that equilibrium between color change and smelling nasty. I suppose maybe I should just buy more things with the original color in mind than the idea that it would look cool after the resin builds...

i have a bowl that is clear, and it looks best when its clean, so i end up cleaning it almost every day, or sometimes after every session.
