Alcohol Cleaning for a Bubbler

                
Cleaning your bubblers is necessary. It takes away the great experience when smoking if it’s dirty. You need to be very detailed oriented when cleaning your bubblers. It is an obsession for some but for others they don’t take it seriously. What they fail to recognize is that when you really need to clean your set especially the cheap bubblers because dirty bongs will affect the taste and quality of the smoke. While others do a monthly cleaning with their bubblers, some really are taking cleaning to a step further. They use alcohol or products like everclear and some even use whisky and salt when cleaning the stem or the whole set.
               
              Most of the bubbler enthusiast runs their bubblers on a dry cleaner once a month. Some might even run a dry clean after they finish a bowl. They try to swab around the inside of the bowl with a dry cleaner to remove any ash and grunge, carbon and clean the entire stem. That way the pipe is always fresh, cool and ready to go. While other meticulously clean there bubblers after a bowl, others do cleans it when they feel like it or when it really does need some cleaning. Others will do it without even disassembling their whole set, which I find lazy because it really won’t remove all the dirt. Not to mention the ash inside and the stinky smell.
           Dry cleaning your bubbler is a good thing, however using grain alcohol or everclear is great. Products like grain alcohol or everclear is perfect for cleaning your bubblers. It is great for removing ash, grunge and the stinky after smell when you’re done smoking.  You could buy these items at your local smoke shop or online. People use grain alcohol or everclear occasionally or when they need to, however I prefer to use it every time I clean my whole set. There is nothing wrong for being meticulous when cleaning your bubblers.

If you want you bubblers to be super clean you should add some alcohol when cleaning your set. You could moisten the tip of a cleaner with grain alcohol, and run it through the entire pipe. To make if super clean, you need to disassemble the whole set wiping every part of it with a cleaner with grain alcohol. There are some people who also use salt and whiskey to clean their sets. It cleans the pipes removing the dirty smell and unclogs the airway. Take note that cleaning your bubbler is an art. It takes a lot of time and practice in really perfecting the cleaning your bubblers.

There are some people who use the alcohol or everclear treatment when cleaning their bubblers is when they smoke a different kind of tobacco. You need to thoroughly clean your whole set so that the taste will be perfect. If you fail to clean it when smoking a different kind of tobacco, it will taste different and sour. It is hard to clean off the taste or your previous tobacaco, so you really need to clean it with everclear or grain alcohol. It means you need to ream out the bowl, thoroughly clean the shank and the steam with either grain alcohol or everclear. Then to be sure you could use salt when cleaning it. Take your time and carefully clean each and every part of your bubbler.

Obsessive cleaning is somewhat a new phenomenon. An old school piper rarely cleans their sets, much less use alcohol when cleaning. However a lot of people now clean their bubblers after a bowl or changing tobaccos. I don’t really know the whole idea behind leaving your bubblers dirty but if you can’t clean it sometimes the ash clogs the stem making it difficult to enjoy the whole experience of smoking. Besides that it tastes sour if the whole set is dirty. Cleaning is very important because not only that it improves your smoking experience it is also helps to avoid any health issues. Even cheap bubbler deserves to be clean thoroughly.

So take your time and show love to your bubblers and clean it perfectly. You really need to be hygienic especially if you use it every day. You can’t afford to ruin your smoking experience just because you’re too lazy to clean your whole set. Besides can you stand the thought of a day old of saliva on your stem? Smoking unclean bubblers with saliva in it is just disgusting. Learn to love cleaning your whole set.
