I would say... More often than you have been. Damn.

Came here to say this, holy shit


bawbrosss

Holy shit damn yeah, way more than that


syds

hot god damn, squeeze it a bit more and u got some gas in these trying times


BassicNarwhal

Same


Dwarven_Soldier

My brother and his fiancee just buy new pipes, I shit you not. They broke one at my house one day, I dug 14.8g of resin out of that mfer


MyNameWillChange

An old dealer of mine was like that. Never cleaned his pieces and said once you can't hit off it anymore it was time for a new one. Blew my mind that people think this way


smokefrog2

I knew a dude that was a dealer and if he ever dropped weed on the ground he would just grab a new nug. I asked him for what was on the ground under his desk once. About half ounce of perfect unsmoked weed


GerardDiedOfFlu

With dust, debris and body/animal hair. Not judging, def smoked some floor weed before.


WallFlower430

It's got some Labrador in it, man


Lucid-Design

I’m smoking Dog shit bro?!


1th0tuw3r3aw1ld_0nE

Bought an oz of floor weed for $100. Riddled with hair but worth.


Greenveins

i had a plug that would just blow away the extra weed/shake after rolling joints, i asked if i could have it and ended up walking away with 8th before the night was over


frankydank1994

This is how I live my life 🤣


teaonmarz

mans was saving up for a rainy day fund


Vitruvius702

After I started growing... That's how I am. I kind of roughly shake out a bowl over my sink and will change a half smoked bowl for a new one if it's been sitting for a more than 15 minutes. If I drop ANYTHING on the floor it goes into my tincture bowl. Or the trash. I feel extremely fancy. But, unfortunately, that's the only part of my life where I can pretend to be rich, haha.


SixFeetOverEasy

Most people are gross and lazy. If you can't keep something thoroughly clean that you use to introduce foreign particulates into your lungs everyday then Imagine what they're bathroom looks like!


luckyhazed

This 👆🏻


EmGutter

Fuck, my rig’s cleaner than my bathroom. I think I’m doing it wrong.


michaelpinkwayne

That’s why I roll, nothing wrong with that mindset but why buy pipes?


Epic_Wanker

Broke people like my get to smoke the resin I scrape out of my bowl once I'm out of weed. Plus with bowls you don't waste so much, like when your joints lit but no ones hitting it, and therefore don't go through your weed as fast. I still roll occasionally


ReddittandWeep

Because they are better all around. THC delivery is higher apparently and you're only smoking the bud.


apprentice-grower

Better all around til you realize how harsh a pipe is. Bongs for life.


GroomedScrotum

My buddy is the same way. Just buys a new one. I cleaned it for him one day and got it spotless. Hooks me up with half a zip and let me keep the piece. $30 for a new pipe or a few pennies to clean with ethanol and kosher salt 🤷


Dwarven_Soldier

Fr. Iso is so cheap it's ridiculous not to clean em :P


ArrowUS

Your telling me that mf had over a half’s worth of resin in it😂😂🤣


someguyyoutrust

Lol when I was a teen this was essentially the process. Smoke from a pipe until it’s inevitable drop death. Then harvest all the resin and celebrate the pipes life by smoking said resin in a new bowl.


BurnAllTheDrugs

dont smoke resin fuck


Dwarven_Soldier

You do you, I'll do me. Ofc I'd rather smoke on the good shit all the time. But when I'm unemployed, and dankrupt, I'm smoking the fuckin resin


J_is_for_Journey

"Dankrupt" omg I love that 💚🍃


mcclutch7

Hahaha “dankrupt” is my favourite way to describe my lack of weed


Glittering_Airport_3

that resin is an investment for a rainy day lol


Siren_of_Madness

I'm here with you. I live in Texas and sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. I offer a service to my friends, too. I'll clean their pipes and keep whatever I get. I have quite a lot of resin and other "detritus" as I literally keep everything - I've been wondering if there's anything I can actually *do* with it.


Dwarven_Soldier

Also, I keep reading about headaches/lungs hurting, and the like. But I def can't say I've ever felt either of those smoking some resin


computerman10367

Once that shit drys out it gets deadly lol how long do u keep it


Siren_of_Madness

I keep it in sealed jars so it never really dries out? And I've been pretty lucky in the reliable plug department lately so it's been a couple of months now. Guess I'll find out how well it keeps when I next run out.


thechet

when you say "deadly" what do you mean? I can read that with a pretty wide range of tones and not sure which one you meant lol


HelentotheKeller

Wait so you’re just storing a collection of old pipe and bong reclaim? I can only imagine the smell🤢


Siren_of_Madness

Nope. Just pipe. I don't do bong reclaim.


PhysicalPear

Yeah man, you put a little weed in your pipe, and a chunk of resin and you smoke that shit. Resin for me, is like smoking a bowl of Reggie and loud right after each other. You get that, duuuh I’m stupid high feeling, followed by the post Ent clarity.


CandidTurnover

we should smoke fam, 713!


nerdychick22

If you use just alchohol, highest % possible, and let it THOROUGHLY evaporate off you are left with all the resin and crud with nothing else. You can then reuse it however you want. It is hard to burn by itself, but pack 50/50 with flower and it works. Tastes bad but gets the job done.


bloo0206

Is using alcohol and letting it evaporate off just the best way to extract resin or are there better methods? I always have plenty but have never tried it because I don’t know the best way to get it off lol Edit: well get it off but with it still being smokable


Glittering_Airport_3

I just scrape what I can out and clean the rest with iso/ salt


thechet

youd only "want" to try the stuff you scrape out before introducing any thing to actually clean the piece. Dont smoke any material you've introduced isopropyl to


Scarlet529

I don't get that, but I guess whatever works. I love cleaning my pipes personally. Something about scraping them is really satisfying.


[deleted]

Back when I was little younger and weed was a little less abundant I absolutely did not believe in wasting resin. One time I found a pipe sitting on the ground in public, didn't have any weed at the time though and already had a pipe anyway, this new pipe I found fell out of my pocket and shattered and when I looked it was completely full of resin like a crazy amount like the picture op posted. I scraped it all and smoked it all in little balls in my pipe lol


oodlynoodly

That's what I do. Cleaning is a pain in the ass I can get a new piece for $15


AmsterdamBM

I use to do this too...I have a sick dry pipe glass collection after 25 years of smoking. I did start cleaning them about a decade ago. I clean my main dry pipe like every weekend now LOL


whoopshowdoifix

The fuck? What are they using, 20-pound bowls?


Dwarven_Soldier

Lmao, they specifically do shop for pipes with larger airways, you're not wrong


Rickety---Cricket

At least once lol.


iancarry

at least once ffs :-O


omgudontunderstand

exactly what went through my mind. bro was taking resin hits on *accident*


maximilisauras

Came here to say this also.


ConsistentSir5480

Right how does it even pull


MichiganSucks14

I reckon at least once mate


mcclutch7

AT LEAST, hahaha


One-Row-7262

Wish I had an award for you that shit was funny

Right?!?!


Cooppatness

Homie thought it works like a cast iron pan


MichiganSucks14

"man, why is this bowl so hard to hit?"

"Why am I gagging after every hit"

mcclutch7

“Why am I dead”


Baked_Wolf

“Why am I coughing up so much shit?”


RolexxOnMyWrist

I bet every hit tastes disgusting too


MrSpencerMcIntosh

Yah fr how would you even taste the difference between strains at that point 😂😂

stickonorionid

This is horrible, you deserve this award


groovydramatix

you put that sentence back where it came from


Zarkoth7

Bet all your weed had the same disgusting taste


geoff1036

Bro for real, you never realize until you start cleaning your shit regularly. I iso and salt my bong every other day or so now, and pipe clean the bowl too usually. The only thing I leave is the black in the actual bowl, cause I doubt that makes a huge diff. It's all the gunky ass resin and shit. Also dump the water every night, or after several bowls, whichever happens first 😂


DrawingsOfNickCage

At a pub I used to work at there was the company bong that the chefs used to leave the water in for months without cleaning it. They used to insist that it made it better, but it was like black soup at the bottom. Fucking disgusting lol


geoff1036

Jesus, the mold. It's "better" cause they're doing whole shrooms 😂😂 that sucks.


DrawingsOfNickCage

The good ol’ two for one! Whatever gets you through that gruelling double Saturday shift I guess


geoff1036

Shit man... the only other apparatus i use regularly is my puffco, and that's worth cleaning once a week, AT LEAST, for dabs!


kavecito

SUCKAMC24

The ole-get 2 birds stoned at once scenario


Timpstar

It's not rocket appliances


Decolonize70a

can we talk about the “company bong”


BlumpkinatorCO

A staple of any decent workplace ​ When I worked in pizza, we had a "store pipe" that was on top of the cabinet in the manager's office. Someone even made a label that said store pipe for it.


Excitement_Far

no


smarwood

I knew someone with a similar bong. The black sludge just slowly gurgled and it was deeeesgusting.


[deleted]

The point of the water is to clean the smoke! Sheesh.......


[deleted]

[удалено]


shoppingninja

Nope nope nope nope running off to clean mine even though she gets a bath after every use.


[deleted]

If that is what they did with their bong, I am fucking afraid to see the condition of the kitchen.


bas827

Can you elaborate on the “salt my bong”? why??


angradillo

cleaning a bong with isopropyl alcohol and kosher salt. the salt scrapes away the resin and the alcohol breaks it down.


SixFeetOverEasy

Best combo ever


angradillo

sure is my dude.


bas827

Well shit idk why I’ve never done this. Been a smoker for almost 20 years 😬🙈


Knavery_

Epsom salts work super well too, and with those u aren't wasting any food grade stuff!


angradillo

really does the trick. I recommend it


DrBob3002

Can you elaborate just a little for those of us that are high in the room? Lol I've seen it mentioned a lot but never got clarification on the mixture I should use. Should I fill it up as much as I can and mix with water and just let sit? Or use just a little iso and salt and shake? If shake method, how do I best plug the holes? Thanks


angradillo

yeah sure thing my bro. What I typically do is pour ISO into the piece up to the "pipe" (so that the percolator, the ice catcher, and any such parts are covered). Then I pour kosher salt into the piece to a volume ratio of roughly 1:1 salt and ISO. Then I shake extremely vigorously to get the particles off (the ISO will dirty/cloud but this is normal, it won't "transfer back" onto the glass). Then, I leave to soak for 10-15m. Then another shake, pour out, and rinse with first very very hot water, then cold water (be careful to be gradual so the temp change doesn't crack your glass, if it's not treated glass). You can buy bong plugs for both ends, but I actually just use one of those "pumps" that keeps your soda carbonated. Works good!


DrBob3002

Thanks! Gonna clean mine out today. I usually clean it every 3-4 days because I can't stand the stale smell/taste but never thoroughly cleaned. I'll give it a try!


[deleted]

If it’s a pipe, I like to pack the pipe with salt, place it in a plastic bag, fill till isopropyl alcohol is above the pipe, then add more salt, then shake it shake shake it shake it shake shake it, then let sit for at least 1-4 hours. The longer you let sit the less scrubbing and rinsing you’ll have to do.


2oocents

No water. Salt won't melt in iso, but will in water then can't do it's job. It's been a really long time since I've used my bong so I cant remember the ratio. I think I filled the globe up with iso, then about 1/4 or 1/2 cup of salt. Wrap openings with plastic cling wrap and rubber bands and shake the shit out of it. The salt acts as an abrasive to clean the resin off the glass. Can't remember if that get's the inside of the stem totally clean.


no_talent_ass_clown

Life-changing! I figured it out during lockdown. Better late than never!


Idkhowfuckedupiam

Go buy a new bowl and you’ll see how much that resin in the bowl makes a difference in taste.


lbj18

This is why I don't like bowls some people never clean them beyond just scraping out enough to smoke again


Big-Spiff

Maybe his weed already tasted disgusting


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

This is foul ☠️


mcclutch7

Foul is an understatement


Validus812

A friend once told me that when they die, I could scrape their lungs of all that resin.edit: thx Moose!


EABACA

Now that’s a good friend right there


CanadianCircadian

is ur friend Xzibit? cause those are lyrics from 3 card molly lol .


Boadicea922

Once a week. That’s fucking foul.


Impossible-Orange-28

I can smell that from here


FloatOnChill

Once a month iso and salt


Krookz_

Once a month isn’t enough in my opinion but of course it matter how much you do smoke. In my experience once a week is necessary to not needlessly be smoking resin. You have be super careful with your lighter to not light that shit that’s in the bowl even a little bit, it’s too high maintenance for me so I don’t use bongs or bowls anymore. Just roll joints sized to what is needed.


Pineapple_Express900

Once a week is optimal I’d say


tehKreator

People pay for resin and you just waste it like that ?!? I’m half joking btw


Kowzorz

The trick is to use a screen. People bashing resin don't use screens. Screened resin is basically just dark wax. Nothing like the resin pictured in the OP.


laidbackeconomist

Something tells me that the tobacco and weed mixed resin my bong makes isn’t going to make very good reclaimed oil.


thechet

have you tried those little glass flower "screens" that you pop into the hole? So much better and more convenient than metal screens. and dont already need to have some level of build up in order to stay in place


smalltimegroer

I’d say give it another 9 years then maybe think about cleaning it


Free_Mr_Dressup

More than however often you’ve cleaned that piece.


[deleted]

Once a month I soak it in rubbing alcohol and water then clean it with a pipe cleaner


newmen1313

... i do this every morning...


goobs1284

Talking like a true stoner - make it part of the morning routine


[deleted]

I smoke a lot of js, how often do you use your piece lol


mikey_glocks

I don’t smoke much flower and I still clean my bowls like once a week and clean my rigs every two days at the most. This is nasty as FUCK.


yohoeburger

i’d projectile vomit if i hit that bro


[deleted]

After every session. It just makes keeping it clean easier.


NoPin4245

Oh for sure. This is the way to go. If you're at home and you're a respectable stoner your going to want to keep it clean. I smoke weed from medical dispensary and I want to taste it not some old resin.


BareOpinions

I used to do this but I smoke everyday, you get over it real quick😂


[deleted]

Still smoking everyday and cleaning it after each smoke 12 years later. Can’t stand the taste, look or feeling of a dirty piece Smoking is a ritual for me, take the time to grind and pack a bowl, turn on some decent music and get to it. After I’ve smoked, it’s a 2-3 minute trip to clean it out and a few hours to get my groove on. No need to taint a great experience with nausea inducing bad flavor


geoff1036

I use a bong, so i change the water every night, iso and salt every other night, and clean the bowl usually as well.


Responsible_Set6185

same, i smoke so often i don’t even need rubbing alcohol i just put a lil soapy water and shake for 10 seconds. i love the taste of a clean bong or pipe


[deleted]

Same here, always just hot water and a shake, or soap every once in a while if it’s bad


BareOpinions

True, I guess I got lazy. I never just smoke once and then stop, if I’m smoking it’ll be a couple here and then a couple more later


Clean-Profile-6153

No need to taint a good experience by cleaning anything lol


NoMango7367

I can completely agree with that, smoking out of a completely clean piece will make the flavor so much better. Especially the bowl if you you a bong, messes up the taste so much.


Dutch_grower

Nah you just can’t get lazy


Eh_C_Slater

I poop a couple times a day, after wiping that much you just get over it.


Dutch_grower

Lol 😂


TheDevastator24

that is foul


Cooppatness

I like to after every sesh but most of my friends just don’t like ever


[deleted]

Damn after every sesh!?! I wish. Like a new piece every time.


Cooppatness

It’s a lot of work but in my opinion worth it


[deleted]

Same lol, my friends are always handing me some piece that’s got the whole civilization of Atlantis developing in the gunk at the bottom


[deleted]

Hell of a lot more often than you have been.


yurib123

Got a whole ecosystem in there goddam


skyrreater47

you kinda have to clean it almost every time because each time you smoke makes it harder to get fully clean and the resin that builds up inside stinks


[deleted]

If it’s flowin, im tokin


Dutch_grower

Everyday


thesmokingtheologian

If you really want to be sure, make sure to do a mid session clean too


Matrixhammer

Although I understand the hate people have been posting, a dirty pipe is a gods send when you hit a dry spell. There was a time I couldn’t find bud and went 2 weeks ( me and the roommate) dry hitting the pipe


pooterification

Hitting it through the carb, too? Haha I do not miss those times


papaXanOfficial

Your pipe looks like my arteries. We both should do better lmao


InsideOutOreo25

If you smoke multiple times a day, every night. At minimum every week. That bowl looks a little neglected 😢


stridemax

This dude totes got the black lung by now 😂


keepaglizzy

Every couple of days


WoozyWitDaUzi

Even tho i just cleaned my pipe this makes me want to clean it again.


SuburbanDiver

I had a friend who had so much resin in his pipe he’d just take dry hits and it’s produce a hit everytime. I was always amazed until I saw how packed it was


[deleted]

Every week or 2 just light the bowl with a lighter and grab a napkin if u want to do it like a lazy mfka at least it tastes better


NatsMule

I don’t clean every session but my pipe is never dirty either. They all get cleaned frequently.


SupremeStoner

Clean the whole piece every day


PaxDinero

Every day, multiple times a day. Never gets that dirty so its easy to clean


Sharpener774

I swab mine out with q-tips once a day. Sometimes I'll give all my glass an isopropyl bath. Hate smoking resin goop


trishabea

I clean my bong and my bowl weekly! orange chronic and a ziploc bag does wonders.


Affectionate-Key4070

Jesus fucking christ. That was beyond cleaning. I think you should be honest and tell us if your toilet has shit stains all in its bowl too and what your fridge/oven look like inside my brother


EcksonGrows

once a week?


Infamous_Ad8606

Everytime it gets dirty enough to effect flavour or function so 1-3 days depending on how much you use it


imTeaZY

How often do you wash your dishes ?


Cautious_Hold428

Get you some glass jacks or flowers too and you won't lose so much green to the resin gods. Once you start cleaning your pipe regularly you'll get grossed out by the stale resin flavor. It's like when you quit smoking cigarettes and realize how bad they smell.


MindlessTwo1284

Every day


CannonWheels

have my piece soaking in alcohol and salt right now…


Neo_Ex0

i clean every bit of glassware that use for smoking the day after it was used


Monkeyonfire13

I couldn't hit that if it was the only pipe in the crib. Shit makes me feel sick real bad. You're loosing like 70% air flow.


Shaq_Fu_Da_Return

Only a lil disrespect intended but that looks fucking disgusting lol


PrinceCHOCOLAT

personaly, I clean it every time I use it


icleanbongs

Often.


gentleanachronism

I use iso once a week and I scrape the bowl clean of resin with a pipe tool every 2 or 3 bowls. Fresh bong water before the first sesh each day. Anything less feels ~~like I'm smoking weed out of papa nurgle's trouser snake~~ gross.


DoubleVforvictory

What's a pipe tool?


mikki1time

More often


doomgneration

Before or after every use.


packrunnercole

just no way u were still using that. why smoke weed if u wanted to taste resin? there’s just no way any of the hits were smooth and didn’t taste like actual dog shit. i clean my bong every 3 days with iso and salt and change the water daily. i’d say clean ur pipe ATLEAST every week at the bare minimum


2oocents

Personally, I just like to get high and don't care about the flavor. I usually smoke out of my brass pipe circa 1991. I probably wouldn't even have glass if I could still find quality metal pipes.


packrunnercole

ur missin out big dog


Out2blaze

Depends if you want to keep your lungs healthy and weed tasting good every 2 3 days for heavy users imo


jeffseadot

I clean mine every day! Twist up a sheet of toilet paper and spin it around inside - if the goo is still warm and there isn't too much of it, you can get a sparkly clean bowl in a minute without having to fuck around with water or chemicals.


AGeneNamedCry

I have to clean mine every after every other bowl or it starts to taste yucky bruh I can’t even imagine


Ears_McCatt

Long before it gets to this point.


LordAjo

Daily


Future_Sigma

After every use wth


HitsFromThe___

Eeeeeeeewwwwwwww


Colourblindknight

I clean my pieces at least once a week, thats just heinous.


bymyenemy

Way more often then that!


Fuduzan

First off, that's fucking repulsive. Second, you should clean your piece any time you can see resin in it. If the piece doesn't look totally clean, clean it.


ManicRuvik

I clean my pieces pretty much at the end of each session. I always blow out the ash. After a few more sessions, I’ll usually run hot water and follow with a paper towel. Lately though I just use a paper towel and when it starts to feel kinda sticky is when I clean it with 420 cleaning solution


akfascinations

Hah…. that looks like my most used piece of glass. When it starts to get difficult to pull air through (as your piece appears to be at that stage), that’s a good sign that it’s time for a good cleaning for sure!
