My bat

I have this little bat that I love using. I use it most of the time when I smoke. Its great, but the tar and all that other black shit on the walls doesnt harden at all, in fact it stays very wet, and I dont know why. Sometimes when I try to blow out the bowl a bunch of nasty wet black shit comes flying out and just ends up clogging the bowl. I dont have this problem with any of my other glass pieces. Does anyone know why this might be? Anyone have anything like this happen to them?

It happens because that's the residue from all the smoke. Just get some isopropyl alcohol and wash that shit out.

I know what its from. What im saying is, even if I dont smoke out of it all day long, all that shit is still wet, not just sticky, its wet. So wet that if I try to blow out a bowl, that shit comes shooting out and clogs up the hole. This doesnt happen with any of my other bowls. The black shit hardens a bit and just gets real sticky. this shit stays wet. I dont really want to have to clean my bowl everytime I wanna use it.

well sounds like you have other options.. just scrap that pipe and use your others.
we cant help you with what you want.
sounds like a design flaw with the pipe that it doesn't get enough airflow or something.. gah man think this through.

seems to happen with small pipes and chillums. pipestone especially. could be wet herb too. i think it has more to do with the tiny stem hole. when we used to use the old metal pipes, we would install two bowls together in the stem to act as a chamber and that would solve the problem. you're using a one hitter, right? we did smoke alot of wet herb back then too though.

boil it, then you can run the water through a coffee filter and smoke it again.

This is common for one hitters. Keep a supply of pipe cleaners around and run one thru it from time to time.

you should never boil glass as it creates stress on the glass and can end up crack or breaking the piece. ISO alcohol + kosher salt is the best way to clean a pipe out.
