Asparagus pot as bong cleaner

[Jhhnn]

We were cleaning bongs & pipes with corks, acetone & rock salt or plain salt in the double wall bowls. It's a messy & stinky PITA, but it worked.

I got part of this idea from Eighths-n-Aces who uses purple degreaser to soak his implements. I like Zep citrus cleaner, so I tried 1 part cleaner to 2-3 part water, soak the bits & pieces overnight. I put the pot in the sink, pull out the basket, pour what's in the bong back into the pot & rinse everything under running water from the tap. Works great, & the solution remains potent after many uses. When I figure there's a fair amount of sediment in the bottom, I strain the solution thru a coffee filter into another container, pour it back into the asparagus pot. Easy-Peasy.

For reasons I don't understand, the citrus cleaner works much better with water than without.

Is that citrus degreaser limonene? Limonene is useful in lots of ways other than cleaning.

I guess that would work but 99% isopropyl alcohol and kosher salt is best

I like it because there's almost no work & no mess, no flammables, either. Remove the bowl & stem, pour out the bong water, Put it all in the basket, lower the basket into the solution & go to bed. Just rinse it off in the morning & anything below the water line is spotless. Anything that hasn't been cleaned in so long you can't remember will take a few days, I suspect, but time is on your side. The basket just makes it easy.

We have one double walled bowl that was always a chore to clean. I just make sure there's no trapped air when it goes into the solution. Next morning it rinses clean in a few seconds.

No gummy residue in the sink, either.

I use glass bongs/pipes and to clean i soak them in acetone, scrub and then rinse off with water, its quick and works very well. Not sure if using acetone on brass/plastics/ceramics is ok but def safe on glass.

I use isopropanol alcohol to clean glassware.. It's best to throw the pipe out out and get another bong tho IMHO... it's easy to clean borosilicate with rocksalt and any high prove alcohol but pipes are cheap these days they are mostly made from scientific glassware and the expensive stuff is blown to order.. I use £40 pipe and it's better than most the more expensive ones...

 

[shithawk420]

Well if you guys are using no brand bongs(nothing wrong with that) that's fine.but you will remove the logo if you use acetone.up to you guys

I've had alcohol fade half the label on my zob. But I prefer the salt and alcohol too.

Bongs are cheap Mate D? Good tubes are so expensive I look and drool over them wishing I could buy it.

Who needs an Illadelph.... Your better with a well made cheap bong and good herbs plenty of money in the bank..

I have one bong ,one pipe ,, and pieces and parts...yeehaw... cleaning is easy.. iso..magic glass bong from aeromed setup that walked way. I like asparagus

 

[Mate Dave]

Nice Chalice Stoned-Trout. Proper smoking utensil that bro.. Not a straight stem in sight.. I'd rather hit the bamboo or coconut than glass..

 

[stoned-trout]

and for a second I thought there was an asparagus strain of pot you used to clean bong somehow...I steam or gas/charcoal grill my asparagus,or my baby foreman grill and I smoke pot while doing so...yeehaw... that bong is a survivor and a reminder.and I like all glass that's strong and small. my old lady let my aeromed walk out door and her friend then unfriended her and kept my stuff...luckily for him he moved before I could get his ass.. I done with vapin and old lady..bamboo and coconut was my florida keys days...I would mix drink right in coconut with small funnel and then have straw...punch out them little eyes...insert straw into one ..sit back an enjoy... I miss the flats fishing and my coconuts

 

[Mate Dave]

Yeah I tie asparagus with string and blanch it for 2 mins inn boiling water. Pull the fucker out and serve it with some hollandaise.

Anyhow back to the bongs.. If you can't load up the main tube and flush out the percolator by blowing down the pipe and using the same iso from that adding salt to clean the main chamber as weal as the down stem then the bong is crap in my eyes... You can do it with that Chalice St..

I like a simple bubbler, a desk model if you will. This was a retirement present from my wife-

From Iluzion Glass. That's a replacement bowl. If it were custom, I'd have told them to leave out the ice dimples.

Sweet glass.. Yeah I have breaking parts hence the like of bamboo and coconuts. Glass really doesn't make it taste better....
