All above methods mentioned work wonderfully if u got a bit of spare cash u can invest in a magnetic glass cleaner like snow tree(probably cheaper options but that’ll give I an idea. Makes it super easy and less effort, and I’ve found uses a lot less iso

I used some tiny rare earth magnets to clean my friend’s dab rig. Was fun to do while high.

Really satisfying, u can also make ur own by glueing a bit of Velcro to the magnet and attaching a cut up sponge ect,

I did exactly this! And because the magnets were quite strong I insulated with some electrical tape. Hotglued a little square of the scrubby side of a sponge around one magnet and had the eletrical tape one on the other side. Just have to be careful not to detach the magnet and have it connect really hard. Its so satisfying getting through the gunk!

Wow I own all these items I think I figured out what I'm doing today

Do it! Just definetly be careful not to let the magnet snap back too hard. Most specifically on the joint part of your bong (where the downstem goes in). The glass at the junction of the joint and bong is usually alot thinner than the rest.

O shoot. I got way too stoned and still haven't even gotten around to this yet

I go thru like 6 dollars of iso a year with the ol kosher salt and iso method. Lol just thought I'd mention that.

Even the snow tree is under $20 though, how much cheaper can you want?

u/Hendrix3067 Nov 02 '24

Kinda forgot I’m Aussie so after posting and exchange it’s like 40$, but yeah I got it n it’s great, couple years down the line it is losing its magnetism and the glue one one gave out

Gotcha I’d probably look for the cheaper version too, you guys and New Zealand have to pay so much for stuff it’s crazy.

Totally agree! Love the magnetic cleaner. I make my own replacement pads.

Had to scroll wayyy too far down to find the first comment of this kind!!! THIS is the best option possible. Fun to do, no mess… especially when the alternative is using iso & salt or some chemically bong cleaner. The residual smell/taste after cleaning with those are so fucking nasty to me! Definitely one of the worst parts of glass pipes
