Why Do Hand Pipes Get Dirty?

Now you may be wondering, why is it that my hand pipe gets so dirty? Well there isn’t some evil Dirty Bubble orchestrating it, but instead the result of the natural cause and reaction of combustion smoking.

When you heat dry herbs in your hand pipe to the point of burning, the moisture and oils within them are released and become stuck to the side of your bowl. Over time without removal, this will collect more ashy build up and grow until your bowl is caked with dark build up.

Just like baking sheets, the very act of using your hand pipe will result in it becoming dirty. So don’t feel bad if you're noticing that over time your favorite piece starts to show its age a little bit, with a quick clean it’ll be back to new.

Thus the good news is that while dirty glass is a problem, it’s only ever the result of your own actions. Which means you have it in your control to keep things 100% clean at all times, all by following the tips laid out by Exxus Vape below!

How To Prevent A Hand Pipe From Getting Dirty?

The number #1 most preventable culprit of dirty glass lies with forgetfulness, when you refrain from ashing your bowl after a session and leave the contents to sit all day, night, or week until you realize you want to use your old trusty piece again.

The longer you let the ash sit in there, the more chance it will have to break down, stain your bowl, and settle inside the airway of your hand pipe. This results in clogged and reduced airflow, all caused by not taking the time to dump your bowl before putting things away.

That’s why if you want to prevent your hand pipe from getting dirty, make sure to knock out your burnt materials right after you’ve finished your session. This will be the easiest and most effective time to remove, though be careful as hot embers may remain at the bottom.

Whether you want to use a dedicated ashtray or a simple cup of water, making a habit of always clearing the bowl after use will go leaps and bounds in terms of preventing a dirty hand pipe from getting out of control in the first place.

Another helpful method is if you do notice any materials sticking around, take a quick damp paper towel to scrub it off. The sooner you take care of these, the less of a chance they’ll build up into an actual problem.

But… life comes at you fast and ultimately things do get dirty. As a results we’ve broken down in the next section just how you can deep clean your hand pipe and get it back into working order with ease!

How To Clean A Hand Pipe?

Now if there’s one thing we’ve learned over time, it’s that no two hand pipe cleanings are ever the same. Some may be so easy you’ll kick yourself for not doing it sooner, while others will have you regret ever mounting the cleaning attempt in the first place.

Exxus is here to help you stick to the former, by letting you in on the age-old tactic of pulling out an isopropyl alcohol bath to breakdown, eliminate, and destroy even the toughest most un-cleanable hand pipe stains.

As the so-called nuclear option of cleaning glassware, utilizing an isopropyl bath is a great fall back method that all but guarantees a fresh start even for the dirtiest, oldest, and most clogged of hand pipes.

To do so, simply purchase isopropyl cleaning alcohol from a local pharmacy or big box store and then locate a plastic container or sealable bag with enough room to fully submerge your hand pipe within.

Place your dirty hand pipe within the container and carefully fit it with isopropyl alcohol until it’s completely covered. From here you can wait as little as 30 minutes or as long as days, the choice is up to you and how dirty your glassware happens to be at the time.

While soaking the isopropyl alcohol will slowly work away and physically dissolve the stains off of your hand pipe. Eating away at the dry herb residue until all that’s left is your squeaky clean hand pipe.

When done, simply pour out the isopropyl alcohol and put your hand pipe under running water to see the stains magically melt away and your glass returned to 100% condition.

Always make sure to leave your hand pipe to air dry completely after cleaning this way, as you want all isopropyl alcohol to have evaporated before attempting to smoke it once more.

Keep these tips in mind the next time you need to break out the deep clean and you’ll have your glassware hitting like it just came out of the box in no time at all.

How To Unclog A Hand Pipe?

A common issue that can arise while both using and cleaning your hand pipe is encountering a clog. This is when something has directly blocked your airpathway, preventing you from using the hand pipe in any capacity.

Don’t worry, as this is an incredibly common issue that naturally arises due to the extreme suction that occurs when you're smoking the hand pipe. With all that draw strength, little pieces can get stuck together before forming a beaver dam-esque stoppage within the pipe itself.

The simplest method to unclogging a hand pipe is to hold it as normal, cover the carb like you're taking a hit, and then instead blow into the pipe. This will cause air to rush the opposite direction and act as a cannon to punch any stuck materials free in order to remove the clog.

Make sure you give it a couple of tries before giving up, as sometimes it just needs a bit of poking and prodding to get free. If you're still having trouble, try running water through the hand pipe in order to soften the clog, before attempting to blow it out once more.

If you notice the clog is directly in the bowl or mouthpiece, try using a small tool to poke at it and scrape away any small parts. Just be sure not to go so hard as to damage your hand pipe in the process.

Should none of these work, then please refer to the isopropyl bath steps above but leave your pipe soaking for several hours if not all day. This will allow as much of the clog to dissolve as possible, letting you blow through it to finally dislodge the issue.
