固执的堆积：

• 专用管道清洗液

方法一：异丙醇+盐（最佳方法）

这是清洁玻璃管的黄金标准。 醇溶解树脂，而盐作为磨料洗涤器。

第一步：准备好你的管道

• 清除任何松散的碎屑或灰烬
• 如果严重堵塞，先将热水通过
• 检查裂缝（不要用酒精清洗破裂的玻璃）

第二步：放入袋中

• 将管道放入拉链袋中
• 添加足够的异丙醇浸没管道
• 加入2-3汤匙粗盐

第三步：大力摇晃

• 密封袋紧紧
• 摇晃2-3分钟
• 确保盐在管道的所有部分中移动
• 专注于通过碗和腔室移动液体

第四步：浸泡（如果需要）

光聚集: 15-30 分钟

中度集结: 1-2 小时

重型集结：过夜（长达12小时）

第五步：彻底冲洗

• 从袋子中取出管道
• 用热水冲洗2-3分钟
• 确保没有酒精味
• 将水流过所有开口

第六步：细节清洁

• 使用管道清洁剂进行难以到达的点
• 碗和碳水化合物的Q-小贴士
• 外墙小刷子

第7步：完全干燥

• 把多余的水甩掉
• 风干30+分钟
• 使用前确保完全干燥
• 切勿与残留酒精一起使用！

方法二：沸水（温和的方法）

适合定期维护或不愿饮酒。

How To:

1. 慢慢加热水 with pipe already in pot (prevents thermal shock)

2. 轻轻煮沸 - not rolling boil

3. 煮20-30分钟

4. 让水中冷却 - don't remove while hot!

5. 冲洗和擦洗 with brush

6. 彻底干燥

Caution：热冲击会破碎玻璃。 总是逐渐加热/冷却。

方法三：假牙片（易替代）

出人意料的有效且非常容易。

How To:

1. 装满容器 with hot water and pipe

2. 放入2-3个假牙片

3. 让汽水浸泡 for 30 minutes to 2 hours

4. 彻底冲洗

5. 擦洗剩余的斑点

6. 干涸

非常适合轻度至中等的堆积。 比酒精更不刺耳。

方法四：商用管道清洁器

420、Grunge Off 或 Randy's 等产品使清洁变得容易。

Pros:

• 专为管道设计
• 经常可重复使用
• 可以工作得更快
• 比酒精更不刺鼻的气味

Cons:

• 更贵
• 另一种产品购买
• 酒精+盐也有效

遵循产品说明 - each brand differs slightly.

清洗不同的管道部件

The Bowl

最重要的区域 - where combustion happens.

• Focus scrubbing here
• Use Q-tips around edges
• Remove all dark resin
• Should be glass-clear when done

The Carb

Small hole, big impact on airflow.

• Run pipe cleaner through
• Q-tip from outside
• Make sure air flows freely

The Chamber

Where smoke travels - affects taste most.

• Shake salt solution through vigorously
• Soak longer if needed
• Inspect by holding to light

The Mouthpiece

Where your lips go - hygiene matters!

• Clean inside and outside
• Remove any lip residue
• Should be completely clear

Dealing with Stubborn Buildup

For Really Caked-On Resin:

1. Hot water soak first (30 minutes)

2. Then alcohol + salt treatment

3. Extended soak (overnight)

4. Multiple cleaning cycles if needed

5. Pipe cleaner scrubbing between soaks

For Stained Glass:

Some permanent staining occurs over time. To minimize:

• Clean more frequently
• Use 99% isopropyl
• Try specialized cleaners
• Accept some patina develops

---

Cleaning Frequency Guide

Heavy daily use: Clean weekly

Regular use (few times/week): Clean every 2 weeks

Occasional use: Clean monthly

Party use only: Clean after each session

Quick maintenance between deep cleans:

• Rinse with hot water after use
• Knock out ash immediately
• Wipe mouthpiece with alcohol swab

Common Cleaning Mistakes

Mistake: Using Hot Alcohol

Problem: Fire hazard! Alcohol fumes are flammable.

Solution: Only use alcohol at room temperature.

Mistake: Not Rinsing Enough

Problem: Residual alcohol tastes bad and isn't safe to inhale.

Solution: Rinse until zero alcohol smell. Then rinse more.

Mistake: Thermal Shock

Problem: Putting cold glass in hot water (or vice versa) cracks it.

Solution: Always gradual temperature changes.

Mistake: Table Salt Instead of Coarse Salt

Problem: Fine salt dissolves too fast, no scrubbing action.

Solution: Use kosher salt, sea salt, or epsom salt.

Mistake: Skipping the Dry Time

Problem: Water in pipe = mold. Alcohol residue = bad hits.

Solution: Dry completely before storing or using.

Saving Your Resin

Some people collect and smoke pipe resin. If you want to:

1. Scrape before cleaning with a bobby pin or paperclip

2. Don't mix with salt (salt in resin = bad)

3. Store separately in parchment paper

4. Note: Resin has lower quality than fresh cannabis

Most people discard resin - it's harsh and not very potent.

---

Safety Notes

• Ventilate well when using alcohol
• No open flames near alcohol
• Wear gloves if you have sensitive skin
• Dispose of solution properly - don't pour down drain (check local regulations)
• Inspect for cracks before and after cleaning

---

Maintaining a Clean Pipe

Prevention > Deep cleaning

• Knock out ash after each use
• Quick hot water rinse weekly
• Don't let resin build up
• Store in clean, dry place
• Use screens to reduce ash in chamber

A quick 2-minute maintenance clean is easier than an hour-long deep clean session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use rubbing alcohol to clean my pipe?

Yes, 91% or 99% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol works perfectly. 70% works too but is slower. Always rinse thoroughly afterward - never smoke with alcohol residue remaining.

How often should I clean my glass pipe?

For daily users, clean weekly. For regular users (few times per week), clean every 2 weeks. Occasional users should clean monthly or after heavy sessions. Clean more often if you notice restricted airflow or bad taste.

Will boiling water crack my glass pipe?

It can if you create thermal shock. Never put a cold pipe in boiling water or a hot pipe in cold water. Always heat and cool gradually. Start with room temperature water and heat together.
