i have a little metal piece getting annoying clog problems. it hardly worked before and now after ive tried boiling it and shaking it around in some rubbing alcohol it wont pull at all because i jabbed it a bit trying to pick resin out of it. anyone have a better cleaning method? thanks
so this is going to sound dumb, but get some pipe cleaners. not the craft kind, those aren't going to do anything but leave fuzzies in your pipe. use the ones that are white and red, i forget the name. the red bristles are stiffer than the white, so it acts like a bottle brush.
I see that you've tried to rubbing alcohol, but try this before using the pipe cleaners. Before you run the pipe cleaner through it, soak it in rubbing alcohol and salt for a couple of hours and then run the pipe cleaner through it
yeah put it in a ziplock baggie with rubbing alcohol and salt and leave it for ages before using a pipe cleaner. Just repeat that till its clean
If you are looking to get out the tar then I use a paperclip. I just unbend it and shove it in. Make sure it's a heavy duty one not a namby pamby one. Then if you want it really clean use the soak and pipe cleaner method.
you can still get the tar using the rubbing alcohol method if you just leave it to evaporate on an old dish or something. You'll be left with all the resin on the dish when its all evaporated
For regular daily use I use a straight pin, just to keep it clear. I also keep a pin in the storage part of my dugout for when I am out and about.
I take a wire coat hanger, cut about 5 in. of striate wire . then i use a tiny piece of tissue wad it up so it will fit snug in said one hitter. I hold my one hitter by the mouth end,take the lighter and heat up the one hitter a little. put the wad in the mouth end use the wire to push the wad. in the end you will have a long pice of resin perfect ever time!!! d
fuck sake....what do people mean by one hitter? i obviously get the meaning of it but a pic would be nice it can be a pain in the ass sometimes...terms for a lot of things are different since most people on here speak yank english
