Glass tips are a preferred option for many cannabis enthusiasts. They offer cannabis enthusiasts a great and easy way to enjoy their weed. However, glass joint tips work well when cleaned properly, but they add better flavour if they are not cleaned for a long time. Residue builds up in glass joints that are used regularly and not cleaned often, depending on who you are you may love the taste of a joint tip that hasn’t been cleaned joints and makes them difficult to use.

Below are vital guidelines for cleaning glass tips:

  • Place the glass connection tips in a sealable plastic bag. Then fill the bag with alcohol until the glass connector is completely immersed. This step can be done in a small container that can be sealed.
  • Add a teaspoon of salt. The salt must be allowed to enter the glass tip. The purpose of the salt in this process is to clean the resin in places that cannot be reached with a standard brush or sponge. Table salt or Epsom salt will suffice, but coarse salt is ideal for glass pipes with a lot of hardened resin.
  • Soak the connection in alcohol for 12 hours. With soaking, the alcohol dissolves the resin.
  • After a long soaking time, shake the bag to loosen the remaining resin. If a container is used, this step should be skipped. Shaking the glass tips in a container may cause it to break.
  • After the glass joint has been soaked and shaken for 12 hours, the next step is to remove it from the bag. Soak it in hot water and wash it with dishwashing detergent.
  • If stubborn resin remains on the end of the glass joint after washing with hot water and dishwashing detergent, a clip or pipe cleaner should be used. If a clip is not available, a pipe cleaner or a cotton swab can be used. It is recommended to perform this procedure only after making sure that the glass tip end will not be damaged. When finished, rinse the glass/joint/end with hot water.
  • Allow the tube to dry completely. If the glass connection chips are not very clean, this process should be repeated. Remember to add new salt as the salt used in the first cleaning will dissolve.
