pezzie Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 How do you guys go about cleaning the mouthpiece? And what about the stuff that builds up in it, is it just tars or is there some stoney stuff worth bothering about? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Dick Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Pretty sure I read somewhere that the sticky stuff is worth keeping as it's THC-rich. Not sure how healthy or otherwise that is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grooving Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I use a small ultrasonic tank with water and cleaning solution. Use this for all my vaping bits and bobs. Before I had this I used rubbing alcohol then rinsed with boiling water. I've also heard of people gently heating all the parts in milk or olive oil and ingesting the remains that way!

pezzie Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Thanks for the replies, I think as this is the 1st time that I might try cooking it off in milk. I'm sure I heard someone doing this and making hot chocolate with it. Let's see how it tastes and if the high is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dropout Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 You can either boil in milk or oil and eat or rinse in iso then leave it to evaporate over night and you will be left with some oil which you can scrape up with a razor blade and smoke. I know some people cleaning volcanos have been knocked sideways off some hot choc from the resin. Weeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Dick Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Be sure to use full fat milk to give the THC something to bind too, skimmed won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roney Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I clean mine using alcohol (from a chemist) and it does a great job in seconds. I carefully collect the sticky resin and it can be smoked or put into a cookie mix.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezzie Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 I ended up trying to cook it off in milk. Only had some semi skimmed and was wondering about the fat content being enough I thought about ading a bit of butter but thought that might make it rank, so added a bit of double cream instead. I needed to coax some of the more stubborn residue out with a toothpick and stirred it into the milk. The smell and taste of the stuff was very like squidgy black hash. The hot cocoa was very tasty and I was very, very stoned from it. I still ended up giving the mouthpiece a final clean in iso too.

Thanks again for the replies yeah! that type of kinda hot chocolate is what Ah'm talking about! A very nice high and the double cream was your friend in this situation...It's a classic mix that goes very well together...Brrrr cold out today. A hot chocolate might be needed :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarwoods Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I know some people cleaning volcanos have been knocked sideways off some hot choc from the resin. That was me! best way to clean ever! I used full fat mik - simmered for 10 mins or so, but I still had to clean parts with ISO afterwards. In a vaporiser (including iolite) that 'sticky gunk' is simply condensed vapour / hash oil . It is not tar, you are not burning anything with a vape.

pezzie Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 yup that "sticky gunk" is good stuff too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I'm looking forward to , ahem, cleaning my parts :wink: when required... Always made me laugh over the years, specially when I was younger, the number of people who would scrape all the tars and residues out of their pipes and bongs to resmoke, foul, inactive poison, possibly some placebo value to it..... The gunk gathering on me vapouriser even LOOKS good, nice golden and sticky, really looking forward to it... Monk...x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
