Ok, so like many other people, I have a bubbler that you can't scrub because of it's shape. So, I know there are specialty smoking accessory cleaners, but those can be pretty expensive.....
So, I tried tilex one night... let it soak over night..... and wow. Aside from 2 minute sized specs, the pipe looked new again. I flushed it with tons of water, and it tastes like nothing (not like tilex, either)

So, does anyone have any other good cheap -tested- cleaning solutions?

Try 91% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and a handful of table salt.

who purchases rubbing alchhol used?

There's a cleaner called citrisolve. I think that's how it's spelled. Anyway, it works better than rubbing alcohol alone, without funky smells (like tilex might have).

Does the salt not dissolve in alcohol? I may give that a try I have loads of both.

No.

You can use the salt as an abrasive to help "scrub" areas of caked-on resin.

As alcohol does a perfect job of removing accumulated residue, I don't see how anything could work better. Why spend a lot of money for cleaners that are basically scented rubbing alcohol when ordinary rubbing alcohol does the job?

Interesting I just figured it did I can see how that would work since 91%breaks down the resin so well.

not all liquids would desolve the same minerals, the salt is partialy disolved but remains an abrasive to grind the resin off the pipe and the alc just desovles most of the resin it touches so they work realy good, better than most comercial products

I don't smoke marijuana but do enjoy discussing and talking about legal herbs and the high from different legal smoking methods and all my post should be viewed in that light.
