How to Keep a Bong Clean

When you become aware of the fact that cleaning a bong that hasn't been cared for actually takes some time, you might reconsider your habits and start cleaning it after every use.

This does not mean that you need to repeat the above process every time you use your bong. All you have to do is pour out the water , clean the bowl, and a thorough rinse with hot water will do the job.

Clean your bong! There's nothing worse than a brown bong.

This way you will save effort and time. Keeping your bong clean is important because you will notice the difference in taste once you try your new cleaned bong.

Cleaning a glass bong.

All glass products are easier to clean, they are the same material. It absorbs the least, so there shouldn’t be any special problems with it, especially if you don’t start it.

Simply fill the bong with warm water, add any detergent or baking soda, close all the holes and give it a good shake for a few minutes and then drain all that liquid. Thus, all surface resins will immediately disappear and the bong will look much better =) But this is not enough for us, we want to see our device almost like new! =) And to do this, refill with warm water, also add any detergent or soda, and with a brush, with force, wash the walls. If necessary, the procedure with replacing the water can be repeated.

And don’t be afraid to use detergents, for example the same “fairy”. Some articles write that a detergent aftertaste remains, but this is not true at all. All detergents are easily washed off and do not leave traces or odor; a simple example is your dishes, which you wash with the same “fairy” and after that you do not feel its taste while eating.

For those who do not want to use chemicals for washing, you can use, for example, alcohol.

But the first method with detergents is also very effective and affordable, because everyone has cleaning products, and after cleaning the bong can be rinsed repeatedly with warm water and not a trace of chemicals will remain!

A little about smoking

Today, according to WHO, there are about one and a half billion smokers on the planet. The most tobacco-dependent country is Cuba. But Russia is also “trying”, ranking seventh in the world in terms of the number of cigarettes smoked per capita. 58% of Russian men and 12% of women are smokers, and the number of tobacco fans increases every year in Russia by one and a half percent. The Russian tobacco market occupies an honorable third place on the world pedestal. 80% of tobacco consumers live in underdeveloped countries; in advanced countries, the number of smokers decreases every year by 10%.

Without touching on the saddest statistics, we have to admit that smoking has a number of unattractive consequences:

• darkened teeth and plaque on them;
• sourish heavy odor from the mouth and hair;
• a peculiar smell of sweat that is unpleasant for others;
• tobacco yellowed fingertips;
• damaging effect on blood vessels and heart muscle;
• lung and larynx cancer.

Much has been said about this. But in fairness, it is necessary to highlight the positive aspects recorded in the special medical literature:

1. nicotine has a positive effect on the intestinal mucosa, so ulcerative colitis is 2 times less likely to occur in smokers than in non-smokers;
2. Women who smoke are less likely to develop endometrial cancer;
3. smoking, albeit for a short time, improves memory and reaction speed;
4. Smoking reduces the risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases - however, this statement is still controversial.

Cleaning an acrylic bong.

Acrylic is more difficult; this material tends to absorb odors and resins, which are then difficult to wash off. And if you do not follow the recommendations , then this task becomes even more difficult!

To begin with, you should also fill it with warm water. All detergents will no longer work here! You need to use the most gentle ones, for example, gel soap or dish gel, which is often used to wash your hands. It is this particular gel that is best added to the warm water that has already been poured into the device, shake a little so that all the product dissolves, and let stand for about 30 minutes. Before draining the liquid, shake a little again, after all this you can add warm water for the final rinse . In this case, you can use a brush, but only a soft one, so as not to leave scratches on the walls.

We are sure that you will be satisfied with the result and these tips will help you in the future!

That's all! After performing such manipulations, your friend will look great! =)

Signs it's time to clean your bong

The first sign that you should clean your bong is if you don't remember the last time you cleaned it, although stoners often forget and don't remember many things.

Here are signs that it's time to clean your bong:

Cleaning smoking pipes.

All smokers have probably at some time encountered such a situation when the pipe became so clogged that there was practically no craving.

Let’s not let it get to this point and start cleaning it!

By the way, all the methods given above are also well suited for glass tubes, only they should first be soaked in some suitable container, after which the remaining deposits should be completely cleaned.

Metal tubes are best cleaned with special brushes; they do a good job of this; for a better effect, you can soak the brush in alcohol.

Having nothing on hand, you can try a toothpick wrapped in cloth or any other stick of the desired diameter.

Device

The design is not difficult.

The main tube is filled with water until the funnel is completely covered. A mesh is installed inside it, tobacco and mixture are poured onto it, and set on fire. Smoke is drawn from the main tube, but it passes through the water. It cools the smoke well and to some extent removes soot, making it softer and more pleasant - the bong is designed to facilitate the smoking process and reduce harm.

You can choose and buy a bong, for example, in this online store: mary-jane.ru/bong

Preparations for cleaning

Before you figure out how to clean the pipe, you should choose the necessary tool.

To clean the pipe you will need a brush and a pipe ashtray. If there is no special ashtray, you can make one yourself.

How to make a pipe ashtray:

1. Take a natural wine cork.
2. The top of the cork can be lightly sanded with fine-grit sandpaper.
3. Take a regular flat ashtray of large diameter.
4. Glue the prepared cork into the center of the ashtray.

This ashtray is convenient for knocking out accumulated ash from the pipe.

Little helpers

By the way, bong cleaners are also great helpers. If the bong is tall and has a long shaft, then choose a brush with a long handle. Natural bristles are better than artificial bristles, and the hard tip will help deal with dirt in recesses and grooves. Ordering pipe cleaners in the Duda online store, as well as finding a bong brush in it, will save time, nerves and money. Not to mention the fact that you can choose a smoking device for every taste and budget there.

So, to clean a glass tube, you need to

• Shake out any large pieces of burn residue and resin. It will be most convenient to do this if you put the tube in a large container or plastic bag so that the remains do not fly away and stain the table surface.

Place the tube in the container. Take a large capful of Oxyclean and pour it into a container. Fill everything with hot water, but not boiling water.

Let the solution sit and soak into the tube, stirring occasionally and turning the tube over.

Remove the tube from the container and rinse it thoroughly to ensure that any remaining product is completely removed. The glass will be completely clean and sparkling.

Materials for production

Initially, a bong for smoking tobacco was made of bamboo. Now acrylic has taken first place. Modern materials are also in use: glass, metal, ceramics - environmentally friendly, with no harm to health.

From glass

It has an important advantage over others - it is easy to clean and shines after using any detergent. The downside is that they break just as easily.

The glass bong has a multi-level percolation system, thanks to which it conveys taste without distortion. It is enough to buy it from glass, and you can clean the smoke as much as possible, cool it, and enjoy the purest taste. For this good reason, they are leading the market. In addition, this range offers a wide variety of models.

Made from acrylic

Acrylic tubing is for the most part cheaper and more readily available. This is their first advantage.

Thanks to the material, they do not break when dropped. This is the second advantage. There is a third thing - the simplicity of the device, which allows you to reduce product maintenance to a minimum.

Restoration of smoking properties

If you do not properly care for your smoking pipe, it will turn sour, and when you smoke tobacco, an unpleasant aftertaste will appear. In such cases, restoration is required.

Alcohol-salt method

Using a solution of alcohol and salt is a common method of restoring a smoking pipe. But if such restoration is done incorrectly, cracks may form in the product and it will become unusable.

You will definitely need large, regular, non-iodized salt, pure alcohol, and a stand to secure the tube.

1. Fill the bowl of the tube to the top with salt.
2. Fill the syringe with alcohol and carefully pour in the salt. Alcohol should not get on the outer surface.
3. Place the handset on the stand. Leave for a day until the alcohol has completely evaporated.
4. During this time, the salt will turn black and absorb soot and resins.
5. Clean the tube as usual.
6. Leave the tube for 2-3 days until it is completely dry.

When cleaning the pipe with a solution of salt and alcohol, remove the mouthpiece; there is no need to cover the pipe with a brush.

Important! After using an alcohol-saline solution, the first smokes will taste like alcohol. But gradually it will disappear.

Boiling

Boiling is a last resort measure for pipe restoration when other methods do not help. To do this you will need alcohol or high-quality vodka. Fill the tube completely with an alcohol-containing solution and boil for 4-5 hours.

After boiling, the smoking pipe needs to dry for at least 14 days.

Boiling allows you to restore the smoking properties. But the appearance of the tube will be hopelessly ruined. It will be necessary to completely restore the surface - paint, varnish, polish.
