Taking Your Vitae Glass Bong Apart
The first step to cleaning your Vitae Glass bong involves a thorough disassembly. Carefully detach all removable parts, including the mouthpiece, downstem, bowl, and any attachment rings. Empty out any leftover water and rinse each piece with clean water to remove loose debris.
Gathering Your Cleaning Supplies
Now that your Vitae Glass bong is disassembled, it's time to gather your cleaning supplies:
Isopropyl Alcohol (90% or higher): Isopropyl alcohol is a popular choice for cleaning glass bongs due to its effectiveness in dissolving resin buildup. A concentration of 90% or higher is recommended for optimal cleaning power.
Coarse Salt: Coarse salt acts as an abrasive agent, helping to scrub away stubborn residue from the inside of your bong. Kosher salt or sea salt are popular choices.
Cleaning Tools (Optional): While not essential for a basic cleaning, some additional tools can be helpful:
Pipe cleaners: These can be used to clean narrow channels or hard-to-reach areas within your bong.
Bong brushes: Specifically designed brushes can be used to scrub away stubborn grime from the inside of your bong.
Steps For Cleaning Your Vitae Glass Bongs:
With your cleaning solution and tools at the ready, it's time to tackle the grime! Here's how:
Cleanest First: Begin by cleaning the mouthpiece, as it's typically the least dirty piece. Plug the bottom opening with the appropriate cap. Pour a small amount of your cleaning solution and some coarse salt into the mouthpiece. Seal the top opening with a cork or appropriate cap. Hold the mouthpiece securely and shake vigorously for 30-60 seconds, allowing the solution and salt to dislodge any buildup.
Conquering the Chamber: Repeat the shaking process for the bong chamber, using the remaining cleaning solution and salt. If your bong has a percolator (perc), pour the leftover solution from the mouthpiece cleaning into the top of the perc chamber, seal it, and shake. Then, flip the bong over, add fresh cleaning solution and salt to the base, and shake again. The video will demonstrate these techniques.
Stubborn Stains? No Problem!: For any particularly stubborn stains, use a pipe cleaner or bong brush dipped in your cleaning solution to gently scrub the affected area.
Rinse and Repeat: Once you're satisfied with the cleanliness of each piece, thoroughly rinse them all with warm water to remove any leftover cleaning solution and salt residue. Repeat the cleaning process if necessary, especially for heavily soiled bongs.
Rings of Joy (Clean Ones): Don't forget about the attachment rings! Use a clean brush dipped in isopropyl alcohol to wipe down the inside of the rings. Rinse them thoroughly with water and allow them to dry completely.
Important Note: Drying is Key!
Never store your Vitae Glass bong or any of its components while they are still wet. Moisture trapped inside the bong can lead to mold growth and unpleasant odors. Here's how to ensure proper drying:
Air Drying: The simplest method is to allow all the pieces to air dry completely. Place them on a clean dish towel or drying rack in a well-ventilated area with good air circulation.
Paper Towel Power: For a faster drying solution, you can use clean paper towels to absorb any remaining moisture from the inside of the attachment rings and its components.
The Reassembly Routine: Putting Your Vitae Glass Bong Back Together
Once everything is completely dry, it's time to reassemble your Vitae Glass bong. Carefully reattach all the components, ensuring a secure fit. Fill the base with fresh, clean water, and you're ready to enjoy another refreshing and flavorful smoking experience!
