How To Clean A Mini Bong?
Welcome to the best mini bong cleaning guide you'll ever read! We're going to go through all the steps, from removing your pieces and pre-cleaning them with alcohol, salt, and hot water, right down to giving your bong a thorough shake. So whether you've just smoked some tasty herb or have been holding onto your trusty mini for years (and it's gotten rather dusty), this article will walk you through everything you need to know about cleaning your own piece of glassware.
Step 1: Take the bong apart - Remove the Downstem & Bowl.
-
Remove the ash catcher by pulling it out of the downstem and blowing through it to make sure it's clear of debris.
-
Take out your bowl, making sure there's no tobacco left inside of it. If there is, use a cotton swab or piece of paper towel to remove any leftover pieces before putting this part back into place in your mini bong.
Step 2: Empty your ash catcher and rinse it with hot water.
It's time to empty your ash catcher and rinse it with hot water. You will want to use a cotton swab or pipe cleaner soaked with rubbing alcohol to scrub out any remaining debris. If you have some stubborn resin or dirt, you may need to soak the ash catcher in hot water for an hour or two before scrubbing again with the cotton swab and rubbing alcohol.
Step 3: Clean the bowl.
Now, it's time to clean the bowl. The first step is to use a pipe cleaner to clean out any remnants of your last smoke session. Remove any debris from inside the bowl and use it to scrub down the outside of your glass piece as well.
Next, move on to cleaning the downstem and joint of your mini bong. You can use pipe cleaners again for this task—just be sure not to get too aggressive with your cleaning efforts!
Step 4: Clean the downstem and joint.
To clean the downstem and joint, use one of these methods:
-
Use a brush and hot water to clean it. Just put the downstem in a cup of hot water, swish it around with your hand, then pull it out and rinse off any residue.
-
Dip a cotton swab in isopropyl alcohol and scrub it on the inside of your mini bong's downstem. This will help dissolve any remaining resin from your bowl or load.
-
Dip another cotton swab into salt water (salt + warm water), wipe down this area with that mixture for about 10 seconds, then dry off with an unused paper towel before smoking again.
-
For an even more thorough cleaning experience, fill up a bowl full of baking soda and set it aside for about 15 minutes before giving them another good scrubbing session; afterward, just rinse under running tap water until everything's clean!
Step 5: Pre-cleaning soak in Iso alcohol/salt.
Before you even think about using any kind of cleaning solution, it’s important to first clean your bong with some iso alcohol and salt. To do this, place the bong in a large bowl or bucket filled with water. Then add approximately 1 cup of isopropyl alcohol and 1/2 cup table salt. Mix well until the solution looks clear and pour it into your pipe. Let it soak for at least 10 minutes then shake out as much liquid as possible before rinsing with fresh water twice more (this will get rid of any remaining residue). You can also use vinegar instead if you prefer that method but remember not to rinse with soap afterward because doing so could damage your pipe by removing any oils left behind on its surface by vinegar or other cleaners like acetone which can actually cause plastic parts like filters etc...
Step 6: Rinse with hot water - Shake for 2-3 minutes.
Shake the mini bong for 2 to 3 minutes. This is the most important step in cleaning your mini bong, so don’t skip it! It’s crucial that you shake the mini bong vigorously to make sure all of the residues is out before rinsing it with hot water.
Step 7: Insert new downstem and bowl pieces if necessary.
If you have a new downstem, then use it. If not, don't worry about it and go on to the next step.
