How to clean the pipe?

Lately, I've been experimenting with a glass oil pipe and I've noticed that I can clean it to apear less foggy after use but never quite clean like a new pipe.

I vape a lot of different stuff from this thing and while it may be fine to vape some hash from it after crack, I don't know how it would interfere if I wanted to vape some spice after meth for example.

The last time I attempted to clean it, I put some water with detergent and vinegar to boil and let it to de-fat a bit. Upon tossing the dirty water away and attempting to polish it further with a sponge it cracked in my hand and gave me a nasty cut.

I figured if this stuff can handle a torch, what's a minute or two of boiling water or microwave?

I know it isn't expensive, but I don't really feel like buying a new pipe every time it gets so dirty it's time to clean it. Also, having a few different dirty pipes just for a few different kind of drugs seems absurd to me.

Prior to this I used to mix up the drugs with tobacco and smoke it like a joint, but this turned to be quite wasteful, although effective. I switched to the pipe to avoid inhailing smoke, as I noticed quite a bit of lung iritation from all the tobacco.

Anyone know an idiot proof way to clean the pipe to the point it looks like a new one? As a regular user I need something that works every time for anything.
 
Alright guys, I see where you're comming from and I apreciate your concern but my question was not about the lifestyle choice which I already know is bad.

As for my addiction(s), this is something I've been batling for years now in private, but on forums I'm open about it because I'm anonymous.

The problem with users who try to quit like me is that it's so damn hard to pass up the opurtunity. One day I say I'm going to get clean, next thing you know I'm hitting the pipe to slowly taper off my doses and do them less frequently because if I go cold turkey I will have troubles with functionality and for someone that keeps it a secret letting others know something is off is a big no no.

If you could, please ignore that part and answer how to clean the damn thing. I've drank aya plenty of times, but do not anymore because of the awfull body load which I also experience with changa, only shorter.

Doing acid or shrooms proved to keep me straight for a bit, but not in the long run. I'm resorting to spice because it shouldn't cause a body load that feels worse than being burned alive (overacting to prove a point), and its short duration allows me to do it frequently. All in hope to get better.

As far as I know, and oil pipe is the smoking gear of choice when it comes to FB spice and that's why I opemed this thread.
 
Check out this post I made about N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC)


You can buy the 1,000mg tablets.

Take 4,000mg per day for 8 weeks.

It helps modulate dopamine flow and operates on the NMDA system in the addiction center of the brain, helps with every kind of addiction.

It is also used to flush major toxins out of the liver, and the body. Heavy metals, environmental toxins... This was the original use for it, then they found out that higher doses have these awesome psychiatric properties that treat addiction, bi-polar, schizophrenia, and treatment resistant depression.

Limonene works well. Some of the orange scented "grunge off" type cleaners sold at head stores or pipe stores are just overpriced Limonene or orange oil concentrate. Iso alcohol works as well, just flush after with lots of water.
 
Edit: Like Mitakuye Oyasin already wrote: Isopropanol cleans up nasty deposits as well.

:want: :love: CosmicLion, I guess, we have a similar diet. Remember to mix in the mushies for the grounding and sprinkle some brightly shining 5-MeO on top. Full power :twisted: :love: :lol:

Love, tseuq

Afaik grunge off is not limonene but non ionic tenside based.
I tried a non ionic tenside cleaner for my bong WITH lemonene but it didnt seem to work as well.

It removed most of the junk but nothing compared to the iso and salt. But way better because it doesnt stink and give you a headache.
 
Man, Did you really want advice on cleaning your drug pipe or is this a cry for help?

You have a lot of excuses for continuing to hide what you readily say are destructive habits, but I warn you that it will be very hard to hide if you continue "experimenting" with addiction.

I don't feel like it would be going too far out on a limb in saying that if your habits are this uncontrollable, then it is very possible that you are damaging the relationships or the people in those relationships that you share your life with. That makes it not victimless.

Navigating your way into resources for help can be difficult, maybe you should look into M.A.T. if you are scared of withdrawal. I believe naltrexone is being used as a MAT for stimulants like meth and crack. There are pilot studies perhaps you can get on one for free.

Havent seen you around here in some time, be good to you.
 
I use a couple of drops of water and heat the pipe and swish it around then pour it into a glass dish to dry out, then you can smoke it again. Only question I have is there a better way to recover the meth from the water
