Take a Breath: A Smoking Blog

You might have marveled at the crystal clear look of your Helix glass pipe when you first got it. However, you most likely found that it did not take much time before the glass started to look a little cloudy. Before you knew it, it probably started to get so dark that you could no longer see through the glass. This buildup inside of the glass not only impacts how the pipe appears but can actually decrease the quality of the medication you are inhaling. To help you get your Helix glass pipe clean, you will want to review the following tips and tricks.

Give It A Shake In A Bag

You will need rubbing alcohol, coarse or kosher salt, and a sandwich bag that can be tightly sealed. Put some salt in the bag and then add the rubbing alcohol. You can then place the glass pipe into the bag and seal it shut. Make sure that there is a tight seal. To prevent any rubbing alcohol from leaking and getting all over the place, you can place that sealed bag into another sealed bag for added protection. You will then want to gently shake, swirl, and twirl that bag around, as this will allow the coarse salt and rubbing alcohol to move through the pipe. The coarse salt helps to remove the debris that was stuck in the pipe and the rubbing alcohol is what really does the cleaning or sanitizing.

Use Alternative Cleansing Solutions

You can use cleaning solutions that are advertised for other things and use them to clean your glass pipe. For example, you can use denture cleaning tablets to clean your pipe. You will need hot water in a bowl or cup for the denture cleaning tablet to start to dissolve, at which time you can add your pipe to the water. There is also the option of purchasing some lemon juice, mixing that with water, and using a cotton swab dipped in that solution to try to clean out the inside of your glass pipe.

After having a little time to review the previously mentioned tips or tricks, you should find that you are ready to take that old dirty glass pipe and get it crystal clear once again. When you have accomplished that, you will find that not only does the pipe look really nice once again, but the taste of the smoke will be much cleaner as well. This is because what you are inhaling does not have to pass through all of that gunk that was lining your glass pipe anymore.
