  2. Yes. Unless you would like a mouth full of tar when you smoke from it.

  6. EWWWWWW i can taste it just by looking at the picture, disgusting....
    Smoking that shit is like smoking a joint dipped into a pool of tar
     
  7. Damn dude a piece like that is so easy to clean I'd never let it get that dirty, rinse with hot water a little then throw it in a bag with iso and a bit of salt and shake, boom done, in literally a couple minutes.

  8. All combustion will produce tar, a bong doesn't actually do much to filter those carcinogens. A vape is what you want.

    Yeap, definitely time to clean up. Run your piece through some hot water and scrub it with isopropyl alcohol, and then let it sit in acetone and H20 of a ratio 1:1 for at least half-hour then rinse/dry thoroughly if you really want it to be spotless.

  10. Yes, it should not be like that
     
  11. Normally I clean my pipes and chillums when I start noticing the air ways are getting restricted .
    So when you smoke using your chillum and you have to suck so hard the top of your head goes flat and your face turns red just to get a hit, that's a pretty good sign it needs cleaned

  12. So your saying there is zero tar in the smoke when using a bong ?
     
  13. Combustion is combustion. Produce something at the front, shoot it out the back. Input and output. We don't get oil changes for no reason.

    Bong water is somewhat cooled (depending on temp of the liquid) and is less harsher than traditional pipes or joints. Tar is produced as a by-product simply by heating plant matter. The tar will build up inside the bong, regardless of the material, esp if yah don't clean regularly.

  14. I'm not sure the water really removes tar. It either sticks to the walls of a pipe, or a little gets in the water. Not sure what other poster could deduce

  15. Yes I don't think the person who said this really thought out his words ..
    And the world turns
     
  16. People take things out of context on the internet. Plus everyone is an 'expert".
     
  17. That's not off of 4 bowls
     
  18. You wouldn't let your ass get to the point that you have to soak it in 95% isopropyl..
    Why let your chillum? :roflmao:

    Give it a quick rinse with hot water every couple bowls and it's easy to keep pretty clean

    Better questions is have you cleaned it before ?? That’s so dirty ewww, smaller the pipe more often is clean it .. but I’d prefer a bong always clean now .
