Just Boiled My Pipe

And I was wondering how the fuck I get this resin out of my pot. Is the pot going to be permanently stained with a ring of resin? Its about right where the boiling line was.

lol that happened to me too. I just kinda scrubbed it and than was like fuck it, and left it. Try and get as much off as you can, maybe boil water in it again and swish it around and try to scrub it off.

Boil more water in the pot, but raise the line of water above the resin line..
Should work! If not, then get some abrasive ceramic cleaner (formula 420 works great) and some steel wool and have at it with the resin ring.

lol. I have one small pot I keep around just for boiling my pieces. The first time I boiled a pipe I stepped outside and the water boiled out too fast so ALL the resin burnt and stuck to all sides of the pot so... I figured it's 'seasoned' now. lol... good luck with cleaning that god awful stickiness.
I don't know if this is a well known fact or whatever. I've never read up on boiling pipes for resin, just learned on my own, but... I always spoon the resin out as the pipe boils. That way it sticks together a lot better (for a resin ball) and the water doesn't get as dirty. If you wait until the end, the shit would stick all over your pipe and just burn in the pot so... I also always boil my pieces twice, just so the second time around I can take it out of some relativly clean water and clean the outside so it doesnt have a layer of stickiness on it. This way I don't have to use anything else on it, but water... Hope at least some of this was helpful or something... Peace.

why the hell do people boil their pipes ?
do people no longer use isoalcohol and salt ? It works perfectly and is the fastest and cheapest way to get large ammounts of gunk outta ur pieces.

It doesn't get much cheaper than boiling water.

Is noone reading? Alcohol will break down the resin on the pot and it will wash right away. just put some on a paper towel or even a scrubby pad and wipe it, it should loosen right up and come off with the greatest of ease.

If you ACTUALLY smoked weed, you'd know that alcohol DOESN'T WORK.
Just joking. Maybe I'm just too lazy to do it properly, but it doesn't work for me.

hehe, this happened the first time i tried cleaning my piece by boiling water....Made the house smell and fucked up the pot.
As several people have said already, rubbing alcohol and salt. You can get both for less than 3$, or just come up on some. Get the strongest % they have. If it's a pipe stick it in a ziplock pour in alcohol and salt, let it soak, shake here and there.. same with a bong. I swear by it, makes your piece all shiny and new, and legal. I clean my pieces all the time, hate the nasty taste of resin.

I decided to use the salt and alcohol method for the second pipe. This one turned out way nice and it made it look almost brand new. Too bad for the super caked on resin chunks but no big deal, it still looks good as new.
I recommend the alcohol + salt method over boiling, its WAY faster and easier.

I once let the steam from a teapot run through my pipe; worked great, all of the tar came out and my pipe was clean in no time. then i noticed a huge crack running down the center of the bowl. try alcohol and salt man, works great. The run a pipe cleaner through it to get the gunk out
