Ultrasonic bong cleaning?

Post by wutang »

So I get tired of cleaning my bubbler and bong with isoprop and salt.

How do you clean your bongs and glassware? Are those ultrasonic cleaners worth a punt or not? I guess I'd need a large one.

Cheers

That always struck me as a great idea. Cleaning glass in a pain in the butt.

I don't clean mine, I just knock it on the floor and blame the dog, then the wife tells me I can buy a new one!

Then I give the dog a clean down with 99% ISO and let it soak for an hour or so, then hot water rinse out after drinking the ISO.

I use one on a few smaller bongs and it works well. You will want to get a small plug for the downstem hole so you can fill above that level.

Anyone that has time for drama is not gardening enough.

If you're just wanting to clean it not store it, the cleaner need only be big enough for the base to fit and 3-4 cm deep. The liquid inside the bong vibrates through the whole thing if 3-4 cm of fluid is in the devise. That's why I suggested a plug for the slide hole, but anyway they work well and quickly.

A wine bottle cork or stopper works well in an 18mm gg joint.

You could probably use an elasticky band and some cling film to cover the hole too.
