How to: clean your glass vape wand

Snook

Still Learning
I use a silver surfer (SSV) vaporizer and have 5 glass wands for it. they each get dirty/clogged after about 4-5 days of vaping (dirty by my standard). when each is replaced with one of the clean ones, i store the dirty ones, bowl down, in a glass of (2"-3") corn oil. The corn oil dissolves the gooey THC and debris that accumulates on the screen and glass of the wand, which restricts air flow. When 4 of them are dirty and have been soaking in the glass of oil (soaking longer is better), take them and put them in the dishwasher (bowl facing up) with the dirty dishes. they come out like new, screens too. do not know if it will work on glass pipes and that burnt shit.

Additionally, if one uses a wand type vaporizer :laughing:, the addition of a filter, like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-3-8-Chr...s_Accessories&hash=item23405bb59b&vxp=mtr ,in the hose, between the bowl and your mouth, will catch the great majority of dryed/vaped material that will and does get past the screen, lining your throat and lungs with plant debris and like ash from a pipe, isn't good for the human body in the long run

a friend brought his Vapor Bros box style unit & whip over to my place, he said he wasn't getting good hits anymore, packed behind the screen was a thick coating of very amber colored residue, slightly powdery but compacted.

we cleaned that out and his whip was back to normal, we then loaded a hit of that amber crust into my bong and were blown away by its potency.......

i used this method with glass pipes when I was 'burning' regular, I was always thinking about breaking the glass piece. what are you using to put the piece into with the alcohol and salt to shake vigorously with? and my salt would always dissolve. maybe I didn't put enough in. it didnt work 'great' but was good til one of the members here (thanks, brother) mentioned the corn oil.. if one doesn't have a dishwasher, this method

EDIT: OH! a water bottle.. don't retain too well.. sorry.

others i've know, have smoked the vaped waste, they all say it tastes like... well, not very good..
no comments on the high.. they didn't want anymore for nothing, that says something. .
:laughing:

but that residue in the bowl has to be at least half thc. I guess I throw that away.. maybe i should try making 'cookies' out of the oil I soak the wands in... never thought about the thc content.
