I can only suggest to use isopropanol (not sure whats the english word but i think you guys will know). The good industrial stuff with high purity. You literally only need to fill you bong with like 100 ml, shake it around a little, rinse with it water afterwards and it will clean as fuck. I just cleaned my bong for the first time after many years and it took like 5 minutes to have it look new again.
I’m American and we also call it isopropyl alcohol but another common name for it here is rubbing alcohol (which is essentially a mixture of iso and water)
I’ve never needed anything more than that either. Tried plenty of gimmicky products back when I smoked but it never really made a difference. At best an additional abrasive but you can do that yourself as well if it’s truly necessary.
There is a limit to how much iso or ethanol can do in my experience. Even the good stuff needs help.
Honestly just throw an abrasive in there along with the iso and that will bring those tricky spots to the finish line
i almost got punched by a lesbian when i suggested they clean their bong.
It’s a bong. Weed has resins. It will do that while being used. Your majesty doesn’t have to use it if they think it’s not clean enough for them.
You know, food has salts, sugars and fats. They leave deposits too but I don’t see people eating from plates varnished with ancient food.
Or just squirt some rubbing alcohol into it and give it a shake every once in a while. Cleaning your bong isn’t hard, and if it has gotten to this point it makes me question how clean you keep everything else around you.
Not sure if it’s different now, but 15-20 years ago that’s how mine and all my friends’ looked. You could start with a clean one and it would be dirty as fuck like 3 hr later. We would just change the water a lot but only clean them every week or two.
We preferred buckets. All the stoned, for a portion of the effort. Force that in your lungs.
You ever have a bubble bucket?
I have not?
Not heard of one?
I came up with it years ago, its the only way to have buckets.
So you cut your bottle like normal, then you grab some hose, melt a hole in the lid and poke the hose out with enough room to fit a piece in, then screw that into the bucket, you want to cut the hose so its about an inch above the bottom or when you get a nice smooth bubbling.
You get the big hit of a bucket, but its way colder and smoother.
A highly detailed blueprint:
This is a gravity bong. We made them with 2-L soda bottles in a 5-gal bucket (what can I say about our fucked up measurement system, I’m American).
A gravity bong here is like a 600ml bottle with a hole burnt on the bottom big enough to let water through but still be covered by a finger or thumb, slow stead y stream pulls, kinda like a travel bucket.
I’m so tired of cleaning.
Squirt of iso, swish, drain. If you do it regularly instead of waiting, you don’t have to do much at all.
