Gnar Bong. Please help :)

Ok so I have a nice 16'' odd size bong and I loved hitting it but also cleaned it out every morning. About a month ago my heat score hit the fan and lent it to a friend until everything cooled down. Just last night I got it back and it it up the problem was...

It
made
me
shit
my
pants

It was so gnar and gross he never cleaned it out and used it everyday all day. I boiled it myself and got most of all the resin and build up out today but it just tastes like shit still so my question is any tips or tricks so I can get this gross taste out of it and get my old smoky back? I was thinking dishsoap and a lot of rinsing but not sure if that will help

Thanks :) (sorry bout the annoying word per line)

How come every body doesn't know about alcohol and salt?!

Anyways, 71% or higher ISO alcohol, pour it in with a tablespoon of salt. Shake up your bong. Rinse with hot water.

Nail Polish Remover also has other chemicals and solvents... use ISO alcohol.

The main component in nail polish remover is acetone, and if you want to use that, that's okay, but go to home depot and buy acetone, don't buy the fragranced stuff for removing nail polish.


Also, if you want to turn your 71% Isopropyl Alchohol (with 29% water) into 99%, just take some epsom salts and put them in the oven at 200 for 30 minutes. Then add them to the alcohol, let sit for a bit, then separate off the liquid away from the crystal epsom salts. The isopropyl is now 99%. By adding epsom salts, they bond to the water in the ISO, and make the ISO anhydrous. I have yet to try this, but have read it in a couple chem journals.

Nailpolish remover is basicaly acetone, and it doe snot work nearly as well as alcohol to disolve resin.... I know this cause I tried useing acetone to clean my hands after handleing some resinous babes.. it wouldn't budge, the alcohol worked instantly though.

Seriously. 91% ISO and Salt. Jam paper towells in the downstem and tube so none gets out, then shake a SHIT load and watch the resin come off. Then you Rinse it out really good. THEN you can give it a run of Cascade powdered dish soap with dawn crystals(like 4 bucks a box,and a box will last you a lifetime) and you run that thru after the ISO and salt and rinse again. I guarantee that your bong will look brand new with the combination of the two. If not...Then idk what you're friend was smoking thru that thing cause it wasnt weed haha.

Try the Cascade with dawn crystals. My old bong was like that after i let it get real nasty and sit around, I used the dish soap powder and it took the smell/taste right out. I poured in a bunch of powder and added a little water to make it pastey, Then shook the shit out of it for a few minutes and just set it back down to let it set in. About 15 minutes later came back and shook again and then washed it out with a bunch of water.
