You dont really need boiling water, what i do in my dorm is just get a cup that has a lid, plastic,stryofoam, whatever as long as its not transparent. Fill it up with the hottest water you can find, break down your pipe into the 4 or 5 peice into unscrews into and drop the peices in the cup. Put the lid on it and let it sit for about 20 minutes. Then just dump the water out retrieve the pipe and let dry.
Note:the water will smell like a 2 month old bong, thats why you need the lid! and some air freshener if possible

Fill a cup with rubbing alcohol and leave it over night (probably less time would do, but just to get all the resin soaked) then rinse with hot tap water then you should be good. Also cover the cup so your room or wherever your cleaning wont reek of alcohol.

thanks man, cause this thing is nasty. lol. Havent cleaned it in about 2-3 weeks. and that was a half ass job cause my mom came home.

never clean your pipes. its bad.

SCRAPE that bitch and smoke the resin. get high for free and have a fairly clean pipe. a long as the air passes easily through there is no real reason to clean it.

actually i heard that alot of bacteria can form inside of pieces. Also im a logical guy,so less res means more space for weed in the bowl, less res/gunk in the stem means more space for smoke in the pipe and bigger hits with less effort.

am I the only person in the world that dosent get high offa a Res ball? I get a desent buzz, but I would rather smoke a bowl 1st ::shrug::

I only smoke resin when i have no money for bud. But i usually get 2g balls of resin and smoke them. I get pretty stoned.

Yeah but resine is really harsh, not in the strict sens of the term, but more like my throat is feeling like shit after smoking resin, coughting and all. Remember that resine is actually tar that didn't make it into your lung in the first place during all your smoking session with that particular pipe. So I usually smoke resine when i'm low budget, really low.

I would throw that pipe away in favor of a 10$ glass pipe, but that's me.


I hope you are joking, and I hope you realize that there is moisture in the resin in your pipe, and moisture when left in a confined space will mold and give you health problems when inhaled. Happened to my buddy, and he had to use some inhaler to combat the nasty infection.

get a ziplock bag, put in some 99% iso alcohol and salt, shake, rinse thuroughly, smoke.

Those pipes typically you can take them apart into like 3 pieces at least, at first just scrape the hell out of it. Then you can do the above technique as posted by Zonyc
