Clean as needed
How to Clean your pipe:
In order to keep your new smoking pipe working well, you will need to clean it every once in a while. This is the preferred method on how to clean a pipe. You will need table salt, isopropyl alcohol or acetone.
-
Remove bowel; scrape out as much tar and residue as you can from the bowl.
-
Poke out screen.
-
Soak cap and bowl and screen (unless replacing) in some form of alcohol or organic compound to break down the sticky residue.
-
Next, seal off mouth piece end with electrical tape.
-
On the other end of pipe fill your pipe halfway through with table salt.
-
Add either isopropyl alcohol or acetone into the pipe with the salt and seal off the one remaining opening with electrical tape.
-
Shake your pipe vigorously over the sink until you’re pissed off at how long you’ve been shaking it (about 2-3 minutes for me).
-
Remove your tape to let lose the torrent of salty black stink.
-
Rinse your pipe and your sink out with hot water.
-
Repeat entire process again if necessary.
Cleansing
Each piece will be cleansed with sage before shipping but I recommend a second cleansing on arrival since the package will be handled by other people.
