Hi all, I put this in the 'Seasoned Tokers area' because I think I need a Pro on this problem. I have read many, post on how to clean glass pipes with pipe cleaners, boiling, q tips, special 'bong' cleaning solutions and even towelettes.
All of these methods just remove resin, and I really want to smoke the resin. Anyways, I have also heard that you can use isopropyl rubbing alchohol to clean glass pipes. So my question are as follows: 1)What supplies are needed to clean my glass pipe?(remeber I want to keep the resin) 2) What are the EXACT steps to do to sucessfully, clean to a fairly overheated glass pipe?(some baked on stuff) 3) How do I go about taking the isopropyl resin solution and making it smoke-able?
Please a step by step guide or good URL would be apreciated. Just a personal question: Smoking the resin after it is recycled from the pipe be more unhealthy, or do you know? P.S.- Currently at home I have isopropyl rubbing alchohol 70%, I heard 99% or 91% is better.why? And can I use 70%?(please say yes!) Thanks in advance. Ok i understand that you can do it these ways but with all that are mentioned it seems you still would be wasting a fair amount. Boiling in water then straining in coffee filter = wasted resin in water and wasted resin that you can't collect out of the filter.
Boiling water then scraping = wasted resin in water, and scraping is not an option. So does anyone know how to use rubbing alchohal to do this? If so, how do I go about it and could I use 70% rubbing alchohol?(I know 99 might be better but COULD i use 70% if so how?). Wow okay you do not want to put your glass pipe in a pot and heat it over a flame, it will break!
To answer your question. Take a ziplock baggie, one with a good seal, a slide lock works great.
Fill it with the alcohol. Drop your pipe in, leave it for a few hours. Layarkaca21 tamiya lets and go the movie. Shake the shit outta it. Leave it Shake Leave shake.
You get the idea, then simply pour the alcohol in a cup or glass and allow it to evaporate. The resin will be left in the bottom of the glass. It might take a bit to get the resin all off. But just shake the shit outta it periodically.

OK here's the thing. You use isopropyl alc 91% or 99% (if you can get yoru hands on it), b/c the other 9% or 1% is made of water.
Since thc is a non-polar and water is polar, and the alcohol is non-polar, it is allowing the THC to be soluble in the Alc. That's why a higher% is used, to yield better results and faster evaporation.
Listen to the last 2 posts. Do not add salt btw, b/c when the water and alc evaporate there wil be salt crystals in the resin. You don't want that.
The salt with alc method is used only b/c the salt acts as an abrasive and gets the really hard to gunked on spots. That's when your cleaning it and tossing it away. Not cleaning the piece and saving the resin. Just use the ziplock bag, shake and wait method as mentioned. I'd say wait 15 minutes or 20 minutes between shakes. Do it 3 times. If can't wait that long, wait 5 minutes in between.
Same result, just shake more. I personally shake the crap out of it at first, just to help loosen stuff up for later, and ot get rid of some resin as well. Than when done. Pour out into a big enough glass dish pr pan or soemthing, to have it evaporate. The bigger the better, (depending on amount of alc use). B/c it makes more surface area out of the alc + resin mixture, making it faster for it to be evaporated. Thus, that much sooner to use.
When it dries and is done, use a razor blade, a spoon, soemthing to scrape it off. That leftover your now holding will be your pure from the pipe resin in your hands. Smoke and enjoy. Also, never put boiling water or near boiling water in, around, or the piece submerged within water of this temperature.
Your glass will go into whats called thermal shock. ANd will crack, shatter, or possibly explode. Don't do it, if you treasure your piece. Use warm water if you prefer that method.
Maybe a little hotter, but not by much. Alc or alc+salt, are the best methods for cleaning pieces.

Here's is the best way to smoke resin. And you can believe me when I tell you that it's the best way to get the most from resin. Ok, first take a sneak-a-toke (a very small metal pipe that you can find at head shops) and roll a small piece of paper around the mouth peice. That way it doesn't get hot and burn you. Then, take your resin ball and roll it in your fingers and make it into a tiny donut and put it into the bowl. A ball melts and then clogs the pipe and you lose resin which is why making it into a donut is much better.
I'm faded from resin right now!

I have to be really desperate. I always save any joints (if Im somewhere where I can put them in something) if I don't smoke them all the way down. That away if I hit a bad dry spell I can usually pull that out and smoke it. I've tried something new actually that I don't know quite sure if it was just in my head or if it worked as well as I thought, but I only had a little bit of weed reg weed, not enough to vape and get anything worthwhile, and didn't wanna smoke it in my pipe, so I just rolled a joint with the little bit of weed I had at the tip and then filled the rest with vaped weed and then a filter at the end i put in. It seemed like as I smoked the regular weed it added resin to the vaped weed and gave them a little more of a kick and made it worth the time lol.
