Health Risks of a Dirty Bong

Inhaling smoke directly from dirty water may increase your risk of lung infections.

Taste the Difference

A clean bong allows you to fully appreciate the aroma and freshness of your herbs. If you've invested in a top-quality modular bong, why compromise your experience by letting it get dirty?

Before we dive into the cleaning process, let's gather the necessary supplies. For a thorough clean, you'll need:

• Your modular bong

• Hot water

• Dish soap

• Tap water (for rinsing)

• Isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher is recommended)

• Epsom salt or table salt

• Cleaning caps and plugs for your bong

Optional, but helpful:

• Cleaning brushes

• Q-tips

We recommend cleaning each piece of your modular bong individually. This makes cleaning easier and reduces the risk of breaking any pieces.

1. Carefully unscrew each piece of your bong from the connector rings. Start from the top and work your way down.

2. Pour out any old water and give each piece a quick rinse.

3. Lay your glass pieces flat on a soft surface, like a towel or bath rug.

If your custom bong is particularly dirty, you might need a heavy cleaning before the general cleaning process. Here's how:

1. Mix dish soap into a bucket of hot water.

2. Remove the caps from your bong pieces, then submerge the pieces in the soapy water.

3. Let everything sit for 15 minutes to break down larger particles and layers of oil.

4. Remove each piece one at a time and rinse with tap water before moving on to the general cleaning process.

Now that you've prepped your modular bong pieces, it's time for the main event! Here's how to do a general cleaning:

1. Mix equal parts isopropyl alcohol and salt to create your cleaning solution.

2. Attach the bottom cleaning caps to any pieces with bottom threads, such as mouthpieces and percolators.

3. Fill each glass piece about 30-50% of the way with your cleaning solution, then seal the openings.

4. Shake each piece in every direction for 1-2 minutes, or until all the dirt is gone.

5. Rinse out the dirty water. Refill the piece with a new solution and shake it again if necessary. Repeat until each piece is clean.

6. For stubborn dirt, use a cleaning brush to scrub the glass clean.

7. Rinse with hot water, then cold water to prevent fogging. Dry each piece thoroughly.

To clean your bowls and downstems:

1. Soak the pieces in a small container or bag filled with isopropyl alcohol.

2. Add salt, then shake the container or bag until the dirt comes off.

3. Clean any remaining areas with a cleaning brush, then rinse and dry.

To clean these pieces:

1. Wipe the inside of the thread with a Q-tip dipped in isopropyl alcohol, then rinse with water.

2. Dry each piece immediately to avoid damaging the outer surface.

Note: Never soak these pieces in water, as it can damage the external surface.

Once you've cleaned your bong and allowed it to dry, it's time to reward yourself with a fresh, clean hit. You've earned it!

Regular maintenance is key to keeping your modular bong clean and enjoyable. Happy smoking!
