如何清潔管道屏風和碗

Screens and bowl pieces get dirty fastest because they're closest to combustion. Clogged screens restrict airflow, and dirty bowls affect flavor. Whether you're maintaining bowls for your 定制玻璃管 or 來自 Munchmakers 的鋁管，本指南涵蓋金屬屏風、玻璃屏風、碗片和下柱的清潔技術。

快速回答

清潔螢幕和碗：浸泡在 91% 的異丙醇中 15-30 分鐘，如果需要，請用牙刷輕輕擦洗，用熱水沖洗，完全風乾。 金屬屏風也可以清潔（但這會削弱它們）。 清潔後仍保持堵塞時更換螢幕。

螢幕類型和何時清潔

金屬屏風（黃銅、鋼、鈦）

最常見的類型。 Usually brass (gold colored) or steel (silver).

清潔時間：

• 氣流感覺受限
• 可見的黑色堆積
• 每 3-5 次使用 (理想)

Lifespan: 1-4 weeks depending on use and cleaning

玻璃屏風（雛菊/花幕）

小玻璃碎片 that sit in bowls. More durable than metal.

清潔時間：

• 玻璃上可見的殘留物
• 氣流受限
• 味道似乎不舒服

Lifespan: Months to years with proper care

玻璃碗

裝有大麻的碗。 Part of bongs, bubblers, or standalone.

清潔時間：

• 可見的黑色殘留物
• 很難清除
• 普通用戶每週

Downstems

將碗連接到水的管子。 Critical for airflow.

清潔時間：

• 水不正常冒泡
• 內部可見的堆積
• 普通用戶每週

清潔金屬屏風

方法1：酒精浸泡（推薦）

Supplies:

• 小容器（小玻璃廠）
• 91% 異丙醇
• 老牙
• 紙巾

Steps:

1. 從碗中取出螢幕

2. 放入容器中，並與酒精

3. 浸泡 15-30 分鐘

4. 用牙刷輕輕擦洗

5. 用熱水沖洗

6. 重新安裝前完全乾燥

對於多個螢幕： Soak all at once, they won't damage each other.

方法 2：手電筒清潔（快速但刺眼）

更快，但會隨著時間的推移而降解金屬。

Steps:

1. 用鉗子或鑷子按住螢幕

2. 將較輕的火焰塗抹在螢幕上

3. 樹脂會燃燒掉（注意爆炸）

4. 旋轉清潔所有區域

5. 完全冷卻

Caution: Screen will be very hot. Don't drop into flammable materials.

方法3：沸水

更溫和的選擇：

1. 把水煮沸

2. 放入螢幕

3. 煮5-10分鐘

4. 用湯匙取出

5. Let dry

Works okay but not as effective as alcohol.

清潔玻璃屏風

玻璃屏風很精緻——小心處理。

酒精浸泡法

1. 放入小容器中

2. 用異丙醇覆蓋

3. 浸泡 20-30 分鐘

4. 輕輕攪拌容器（不要用力搖晃）

5. 用溫水沖洗

6. Air dry

從不用火炬玻璃屏風——他們可以粉碎。

防止破損

• 一次處理一個
• 不要從高度掉進碗裡
• 不使用時小心存放
• 清潔前清潔（需要較少處理）

清潔玻璃碗

標準法

Supplies:

• 拉鍊袋
• 91% 異丙醇
• 粗鹽
• 管道清潔器

Steps:

1. 將碗放入自封袋

2 . 添加足夠的酒精覆蓋

3. 加入 1 湯匙鹽

4. 密封袋並輕輕搖晃

5. 浸泡 15-30 分鐘

6. 再次搖晃

7 . 使用管道清潔器進行內部處理

8. 徹底沖洗

9. Air dry

頑固的碗殘渣

對於重型堆積的碗：

• 延長浸泡（過夜）
• 使用沾有酒精的棉花棒
• 輕輕擦洗燒傷區域
• May need multiple cleaning cycles

Bowl Joint Cleaning

The ground glass joint that connects to bong:

• Very important to keep clean
• Buildup prevents proper seal
• Wipe with alcohol-soaked cloth
• Keep dry when not in use

Cleaning Downstems

Inside Cleaning

Downstems are tubes—need interior cleaning.

Method:

1. Soak in alcohol + salt solution (in bag or container)

2. Use pipe cleaners to scrub interior

3. Run pipe cleaner through multiple times

4. Rinse with hot water

5. Hold up to light—should be clear

Diffuser Slits

Downstems with slits need extra attention:

• Salt may lodge in slits during cleaning
• Rinse very thoroughly
• Use thin pipe cleaner or toothpick for slits
• Ensure all slots are clear

Stem-to-Bowl Connection

Where bowl meets downstem:

• Critical for airflow
• Wipe clean regularly
• Check for cracks
• Keep dry to prevent sticking

---

When to Replace vs. Clean

Replace Metal Screens When:

• Holes are visibly enlarged
• Screen is warped or bent
• Cleaning no longer restores airflow
• Screen has burned through spots
• More than 4 weeks old (with regular use)

Screens are cheap—when in doubt, replace.

Replace Glass Screens When:

• Cracked or chipped
• No longer sits flat
• Holes are clogged despite cleaning

Replace Bowls/Downstems When:

• Cracks or chips present
• Joint no longer seals properly
• Cleaning can't restore clarity
• Airflow permanently restricted

Maintenance Tips

After Each Session

Quick maintenance prevents heavy buildup:

• Tap out ash from bowl
• Remove large chunks
• Store screen-side up (prevents moisture)

Weekly

• Full alcohol clean of screens
• Bowl piece cleaning
• Downstem check

Monthly

• Inspect all parts for damage
• Replace worn screens
• Deep clean if needed

---

Screen Alternatives

No Screen Method

Some prefer no screens:

• Break up cannabis coarsely
• Place larger piece at bottom as "plug"
• Works but more debris pulls through

Glass Bowl with Built-in Screen

Some bowls have glass holes instead of removable screens:

• Easier to clean
• Nothing to replace
• Can still clog—need cleaning

Titanium Screens

Premium option:

• Last longer than brass/steel
• Handle heat better
• Worth investment for daily users
• Clean same way as metal

Common Problems and Solutions

Screen Falls Through

Cause: Screen too small for bowl

Fix: Use larger screen or bend edges up slightly to grip

Screen Pops Out

Cause: Not seated properly or wrong size

Fix: Press screen down firmly, ensure it curves to fit bowl shape

Restricted Airflow After Cleaning

Cause: Water trapped in downstem or debris remaining

Fix: Shake out water, run pipe cleaner through again, ensure all salt rinsed out

Taste Still Bad After Cleaning

Cause: Residue in areas you missed

Fix: Soak longer, scrub more thoroughly, check joint connections
