    Get a large bottle of 91% isopropyl alcohol, block the holes, and fill it. Let it soak overnight. Rinse well and enjoy.

      Rinse with HOT water, it helps. You can add salt to the Iso as well, helps to abraid the gunk but youll need to shake it which may be too much for this piece specifically, it has some fragile looking stems.

        Plus one of the salt recommendation. That thing will be good as new. If you have another piece you should probably use that for a bit while this one is soaking

          For sure, this one’s more of a friends and special occasion piece since you can burn through a bowl quick with it. My daily drivers are regular pipes.

      I use that method for cleaning my coils on my concentrate pen. Works perfectly. I kinda hate to use that much alcohol though if I can avoid it - it’s a big piece.

    What I use on mine though not as complex as yours are the tablets they use for cleaning false teeth. Break one up so slips down the neck then plug bowl hole, fill slowly to half full with hot but not boiling water. Leave it for a minute then slowly fill till the water starts to come out. Leave it for a couple of minutes to do it’s stuff then empty it to about half full and give a few shakes ,empty it then a couple of rinses with clean water and voilà done and shiny clean.

    Don’t use it until you get an ash catcher. Literally just got one last night and seeing it work and keeping the inside pipes clean is amazing 10./10!

    91% isopropyl alcohol and a course salt. Block the holes and give it a shake (check surroundings before shaking). You can also save that alcohol and use it again next time.
    Pro tip, you can also add a couple of drops of lemon juice to your water to make things less likely to stick to the glass.
