HOW TO KEEP YOUR BONG CLEAN:
1. Regular Cleaning: To keep your bong looking and performing its best, clean it regularly. After every few uses, rinse it with warm water to remove any residue. For a deeper clean, use isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher) and coarse salt. Shake the mixture inside the bong to break down any stubborn build-up.
2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stick to alcohol and salt for cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can damage the bong or leave behind unwanted residues.
3. Protect the Glass: The borosilicate glass is durable but still breakable. Handle your bong with care, especially when cleaning or moving it. Consider storing it in a padded case or a safe spot when not in use.
4. Clean the Percolator: The disc percolator can accumulate residue over time. To clean it thoroughly, fill the bong with the alcohol-salt mixture, cover the openings, and shake gently. A pipe cleaner can help reach any tight spots.
5. Chopstick Mouthpiece Maintenance: The chopstick-inspired mouthpiece can also collect residue. Soak it in the same alcohol-salt mixture and rinse thoroughly with warm water.
HOW TO USE:
1. Proper Water Level: Fill the bong with water so that the percolator is submerged, but not too much so that it splashes into your mouth. This will ensure smooth hits without water entering the mouthpiece.
2. Smooth Hits: Take slow, steady draws to allow the percolator to do its job, cooling and filtering the smoke for a smoother experience.
3. Use Fresh Herb: For the best flavor and experience, use fresh, properly cured herb. Pack the bowl lightly to ensure even burning.
4. Maintain Airflow: Make sure not to pack the bowl too tightly, as this can restrict airflow and make it harder to draw.
5. Chill for a Smoother Hit: For an extra cool hit, you can place the bong in the fridge for a few minutes before use. Just be careful not to make it too cold, as extreme temperatures can stress the glass.
STORAGE TIPS:
- Keep It Safe: Store the bong in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to preserve its color and integrity.
- Use a Bong Bag: Consider using a padded bong bag or case for extra protection, especially if you’re transporting it.
