I have I done that I put oil in it I’ve tired water pressure and sucking it with a shark vacuum and boiling it in water
well is it causing problems with you being able smoke? cus other wise it's a glass bead you could just leave it in there. i assume it's stuck in a perc or somthing.
I’d say just leave them in the bong , if anything they will add diffusion . Any pics of this clusterfuck? I’ve never purchased beads for my bongs
