Okay well I got this double chambered pipe and I've tried everything to get it unclogged. I don't have any iso alcohol or anything like that, but I tried soaking it in hot water which got rid of most of the resin, but the problem is there's something stuck in between the chamber and the stem. I can't use a paperclip or anything because there's nothing flexible enough to go through the two seperate airways where it twists around. I'm thinking its a piece of weed because when I cleaned it there was a piece of green in it. Any other ways I can get it out, I really don't want to boil it as I don't have the time (on tight lock down grounded) and I don't want to accidentally break it.
 
Nope I don't have anything like that, anybody know anything else I really want to use my bowl in the morning, I've been using my waterfall lately but it fucks me up so fast, I want to just chill hitting the bowl.

visit your local headshop for glass cleaning supplies.
 
try blowing through your pipe as hard as you can.

maybe you can knock it out with lung-power?
 
A canister of gas for lighter's and the adaptor that fits into the chamber should flush any crap out.
 
water will not work, not even boiling. you may be able to unclog it temporarily but it will just reclog again. You can use any of those fancy cleaning products from a head shop but the cheapest and most cost effective way to deal with it is isopropyl alcohol. Just go to walmart or your local drug store and get 91% alcohol (better than 70% ) for $1.25 and use some salt which you may have at your house or you can get a huge thing of it for $0.33 at the grocery store. Get a zip lock bag big enough to put your piece in and pour in enough alcohol to cover or if its big fill the chamber about twice and put what you would consider a lot of salt, like a cup or so and then seal and shake. Then repeat

just do it...

it will take you as long as it does to respond to this post and be on the way to the store and save you a lot of frustration. and money.
 
Did anyone read the part about being locked down grounded lol? I've tried blowing in it as hard as I can both through the stem and through the carb with the bowl covered, only a little bit of air goes through but I can kind of feel/hear something moving but its in there pretty good.
 
hydrogen peroxide could potentially work too... look around your house for iso/HO2/glass cleaning supplies, if you really can't make it to the closest walgreens/cvs/whatever.
 
how big is it- sry i cant picture it -and its a pipe or bong. mabey a pipe cleaner? is there some air passage or none at all? and depending on how long/much u smoked out of it may be gunked up with that almost liquid risen in that case u gotta boil it.
 
Its a pipe, and right after the bowl section it has double chambers coming from the stem where they swirl around, thinking the clog is somewhere in between there towards the bowl.

just do what dantheman says. hes the man and seems to have his head on straight.
 
I wouldnt even attempt to clean a pipe without rubbing alcohol, without that stuff its like trying to flush a toilet fulla shit without any water, its just gonna stay fucked.
