now i know there are tons of threads aobut this but i havnt found what i needed so here goes,

my bro has a curved acrylic bong its like a side ways V and it is so F'ing dirty inside that i think it needs a big cleaning. i would scrap it but you cant cause of the shape, i was wondering if putting boiling water in it would get alot of the gunk out but im afraind that that might warp or melt the bong

any advice is appreciated
thanks

Go to a head shop and get one of those Regular pipe cleaners, they have a bendable wire with pointy bristles. you can get a 50 pack for around 3 bucks

Rubbing alcohol eats rezin like a mofo... omg.... it ate all the resin from my bong real good.. just don't go using it immediatly afterwards.. i don't wanna be the cause of someone exploding heh...

No really though rubbing alcohol works really good but it smells really bad.... afterwards i'd wash it out with warm soapy good smelling soapy water....

Voila

Yea, when i cleaned my bong i used some 98% alcohol stuff from savon for like 3$ (a pretty big bottle) just used like a forth a cup full. And like as soon as the stuff hit the resin i could see it like melting off the glass. I just swished around for a while then rinsed well (heard u can get way sick if u dont get all the alcohol out) then let dry then used. Hmmm hit nice and smooth now, just the taste of the good bud instead of built up resin.

Orange Chronic works well if you feel like wasting money, but all you need is:

+ Sea Salt
+ Rubbing Alcohol

Pour good amounts of each into bong, hold bong tightly and move it around in circles and up and down, the salts will gently scrape away the resin.

Cheapest cleaning way ever.

You know what works better than rubbing alcohol? Use Kosher salt, or any big rock type salt, and put that, along with some Everclear in your bong...works 100x better than rubbing alcohol. Also, 420 Cleaner works well.

i sould suggest rinseing it out very very well because i hard that smokeing rubbing alchol ( inhaling the fumes ) can cause yu to go blind

I find that rubbing alcohol works really well but what I do also is use those really long Q-tips to scrape the resin off from inside. I actually once taped some small q-tips to my finger so i could direct them better. It took me the longest time, but when I finish the bong looked (and smelled) like it had never been used.

Oh, and the sea salt is a great idea. I have a enormous bottle I bought when I got a piercing and thought I would never use it again. It was kind of hard to find, but I eventually went to a really nice grocery store/deli that had some for like 3 bucks that had like 300 teaspoons in it.

And yes, make sure to wash it out, and that it's completly dry.

It would be hard to inhale the fumes, considering the only thing being "burned" is the weed inside the bowl. Anything else would be residue on the glass, and you most likely wouldn't notice it. As for smoking rubbing alcohol, if you light any alcohol-based substance on fire the fumes are going to trace off first before the bud smoke will.

i use bacardi 151. i put some in and shake it, then let it soak in warm water for about 30mins.
