        Only cleaner if it lowers your use, but yeah. Dabs are meh compared to quality flower imo so I tend to run bud vs concentrate.

        Oh believe me I know how to clean the stuff and have about a million tricks to get it done quick and easy.

        When your use is extremely high it doesn’t matter that you clean your pieces daily or multiple times a day.

          I also find it depends on the piece too. I have some that gunk up super quick after a few uses, and others that take a ton of abuse and rinse out easy. My beefeater gin bottle is like that right now and its great

      I prefer to have several pieces in rotation, so I don’t have to clean as often but when I do clean I clean several pieces at once. I’m sure some people prefer the exact opposite but that’s what I have found works for me.

        Imagine thinking a casual descriptive noun has deeper meaning when in a neutral context.

        If they had said something derogatory it’d be different but talk about a leap.

          The question is: why would you add this description if it’s completely unrelated?

          By specifying this attribute, the commenter wanted to draw attention to that fact, that this was a lesbian. So, why exactly would that fact need attention? Best case it’s completely irrelevant, more likely it’s supposed to be some sort of weird bragging or simply an underhanded insult.

            I just read it as storytelling. Many people add details that don’t matter in the end. It just adds to the story so it is easier for the reader to imagine it.

            Like how George RR Martin spends PAGES on the food in Westeros and how it was cooked and prepared. The food description has nothing to do with the story, but it added to the story.

              Sorry but this is a terrible comparison imo. Sexuality is not a useful descriptor and adds no “flavour” to the text. Even describing their skin colour is better because that’s a physical attribute that you can at least imagine. You might as well tell me their blood type they have, it’s a completely useless descriptor in the context of OPs “story”.

              I’m not even on a high horse here, I don’t really care that OP brought up their sexuality, it’s a weird thing to do but not particularly offensive. All these comments spinning narratives about how it’s a useful descriptor are completely baffling. Y’all are performing some mental gymnastics for absolutely no reason.

                i almost got punched by an aquarius when i suggested they clean their bong.

                Is that preferable? I didn’t ask them their birthday and I don’t actually know what an aquarius is.

                  Dude I don’t really care, if you thought it was funny that’s fine by me. Aquarius is just as useless as a descriptor as lesbian.

            Or or or. It’s a descriptive noun thrown in for no reason because sometimes humans just do that.

            I don’t know a single person who hasn’t given unnecessary details when talking about literally anything.

    Not sure if it’s different now, but 15-20 years ago that’s how mine and all my friends’ looked. You could start with a clean one and it would be dirty as fuck like 3 hr later. We would just change the water a lot but only clean them every week or two.

            I came up with it years ago, its the only way to have buckets.

            So you cut your bottle like normal, then you grab some hose, melt a hole in the lid and poke the hose out with enough room to fit a piece in, then screw that into the bucket, you want to cut the hose so its about an inch above the bottom or when you get a nice smooth bubbling.

            You get the big hit of a bucket, but its way colder and smoother.

            A highly detailed blueprint:

              This is a gravity bong. We made them with 2-L soda bottles in a 5-gal bucket (what can I say about our fucked up measurement system, I’m American).

                A gravity bong here is like a 600ml bottle with a hole burnt on the bottom big enough to let water through but still be covered by a finger or thumb, slow stead y stream pulls, kinda like a travel bucket.

      Or just squirt some rubbing alcohol into it and give it a shake every once in a while. Cleaning your bong isn’t hard, and if it has gotten to this point it makes me question how clean you keep everything else around you.

    I can only suggest to use isopropanol (not sure whats the english word but i think you guys will know). The good industrial stuff with high purity. You literally only need to fill you bong with like 100 ml, shake it around a little, rinse with it water afterwards and it will clean as fuck. I just cleaned my bong for the first time after many years and it took like 5 minutes to have it look new again.

      I’m American and we also call it isopropyl alcohol but another common name for it here is rubbing alcohol (which is essentially a mixture of iso and water)

      I’ve never needed anything more than that either. Tried plenty of gimmicky products back when I smoked but it never really made a difference. At best an additional abrasive but you can do that yourself as well if it’s truly necessary.

        Honestly just throw an abrasive in there along with the iso and that will bring those tricky spots to the finish line
