How to Clean and Maintain Your Smoking Accessories DIY: Pipes, Bongs, and More

Smoking accessories such as pipes, bongs, and dab rigs require regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure they function properly and last a long time. Dirty smoking accessories can affect the taste of your smoke and cause build-up that can be difficult to clean later on. Here are some tips on how to clean and maintain your smoking accessories.

Cleaning Pipes:

1. Disassemble your pipe and remove any loose debris or ash.
2. Soak your pipe in a solution of isopropyl alcohol and salt. Use enough solution to cover the entire pipe.
3. Let the pipe soak for several hours, or overnight. The salt and alcohol will break down any resin and help to loosen any build-up inside the pipe.
4. Rinse the pipe with warm water, making sure to remove all the alcohol and salt.
5. Use a pipe cleaner to clean out any remaining residue or debris.
6. Rinse the pipe again with warm water and let it dry completely before use.

Cleaning Bongs:

2. Disassemble your bong and rinse it with warm water.
3. Add a cleaning solution to your bong, such as a specialized bong cleaning formula or a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and salt.
4. Use a cleaning brush or pipe cleaner to scrub the inside of the bong. Make sure to clean all the nooks and crannies.
5. Rinse the bong thoroughly with warm water, making sure to remove all the cleaning solution.
6. Let the bong dry completely before reassembling and using it again.

Cleaning Dab Rigs:

1. Empty any remaining oil or wax from your dab rig.
2. Rinse the rig with warm water to remove any loose debris or ash.
3. Heat up your dab rig with a torch until it is warm but not too hot to handle.
4. Use a dabber to remove any remaining wax or oil inside the rig.
5. Mix isopropyl alcohol and salt in a container and soak your dab rig in the solution.
6. Use a cleaning brush or pipe cleaner to scrub the inside of the rig, making sure to clean all the small parts.
