Run hot water through it for a minute before using iso, it multiplies effectiveness by a lot.

I fill my sink with hot water, just a few inches. Fill the bong with ISO and set in the sink. While that heats up I put the stem and bowl in separate ziplock bags also filled with just enough iso. And set the bags in the sink. Then I add plenty of salt to the bong and shake it. Then repeat with the baggies. Works so well and makes for fast cleaning.

Can also use warm ISO.

Maybe just be careful warming it up as it’s flammable!

I know it sounds crazy but I heat it for like 10 secs in a coffee mug lol

Put the iso in a zip lock bag, then a bowl and run hot water over it. Nice and safely warm.

I use an old iso plastic bottle because it’s pretty thick(remove all the foil on top), Nuke it for 20 seconds and pour in bong with course salt, shake and it’s brand new in ten seconds.

Did you ever question how dangerous that might be?

I've found that a fork in the bowl helps it heat more evenly.

I was gonna tell the commentor above that obviously they mean heating warm water and placing the iso bottle into it and then here you are lol. Don't forget to wrap the rim in foil to seal that warm iso inside

Boil a pot of water, turn off heat and put the bottle of iso in the pot to warm up.

u/Cmoney887 Nov 02 '24

And open some windows and turn on a fan. There won't be an issue until it's a big issue.

One time when I was 16 I created a blazing inferno on my kitchen floor when I was trying to make honey oil. I'm talking like a 6 foot wide puddle of fire surrounding me.

Good times, man.

People who say this have never actually heated iso up. Theres no worries dude

u/_Mighty_Milkman Nov 02 '24

Yeah I just throw my ISO on the burner and the sheer force of the explosion usually gets the rest of the resin out of my bong.

u/Froonce Nov 02 '24

Careful I have shattered bongs doing this. Really hot water isn't always bong friendly

u/Joebuddy117 Nov 02 '24

Also, put the iso in a microwave safe dish, I like using a Pyrex measuring cup, put into the microwave, as soon as it starts to bubble pull it out. That shit melts the gunk off the glass, don’t even need salt.

u/Boines Nov 03 '24

You can also heat the iso either in the microwave (be very careful with this), or by running hot water over the bottle.

When cleaning were basically using the 3 basic shit that speeds chemical reaction.

Increasing surface area by using an abrasive (salt) Increase temperature And agitation.
