its a sad day

you being serious?

damn, open a preamp after 2 years of using it in a smokers environment....you can peel the grime off perts with your hands it's so thick.
you don't really wanna do that to your gear.

though I guess you were being sarcastic, so ignore what I just said ;)

im suprised joey sturgis's studio is even still running....
 
Well the slider piece is metal at least, so there's no plastic that's really in direct contact with any extreme heat - that said, I personally figured it was worth splurging a tad for a glass one just to be safe

Biggest issue with plastic, is the cleaning.

Best way to clean one of those fuckers is to fill it with isopropyl (spelling) alcohol, and something like salt or rice (a fine grain), and shake the shit out of the thing for a few minutes. ANother good way is running boiling water though it, since it will losen the tar right up. Both of these you can't do with a plastic one. In fact, they are near impossible to properly clean, which can lead to mold and other nastiness, which isn't desired when talking about Inhaling. If you are going to tear your lungs apart, keep the damage to a minimum.

Its best to just get a nice solid double-blown piece of glassware. Very expensive, but if taken care of properly will last longer, and be MUCH more sanitary than some plastic hunk of shit. No one over 16 years old should be buying plastic smoking devices....
 
Pretty much what I do. Except I leave the alcohol in there for a couple of days and then just rinse it out. My glass pipe (toker) I don't clean that way because I like to smoke the resin. I usually only smoke weed in the 15-23% THC range so it's well worth saving that shit to smoke later.
 
I only had that bong for about 8 months. I find that it is impossible to completely clean a bong. and if you use chemicals, it just gets chemicals in your bong. Glass bongs and pipes are so affordable nowadays (I can get 3 nice glass pipes here for 6.99 or 2 for 3.99) I just use them till they are too gross to use anymore, and then I throw them out and get a new one.

but I have one bong that is double thick, that I have had since I was like 17, so like 7 years old. I want to figure out a way to clean that one day.

Makes no sense. The alcohol will evaporate at room temperature, thus there is no point in leaving it at all.

Like I just said, the rubbing alcohol evaporates at room temperature, so just a quick rinse of hot water will completely clear the thing out. The glass pipes/bongs that are cheap are cheap for a reason. I've had light bulbs with thicker glass, but they are cleanable, and will get the job done...they are just oh so fragile.

If you truly don't trust double blown, do the boiled water, like I said. It wont be nearly as good as the alcohol, but it will losen the shit up enough that some salt or rice (or some small gravel even) can scratch the crap out. Wont look great, but its at least decently sanitary.

Kush rez vs chank rez...its still just gross ass rez. But I'll still hit it in a bind : /
 
purple power....its a miracle on bongs. let it sit in there for about 12 hours and everything just falls out.
