yeaah boiling would work it would just release all the particles.

and to clean it without boiling it you dont need alcohol. i sometimes bathe it in listerine or nail polish remover add salt maybe some soap or whatever if you have no alcohol that would do a decent job.

Acetone works really well too, better than iso anyway. Just make sure that it is clean before you smoke out of it.

Acetone will ruin some plastics, so if it's plastic, don't do it.

You know what the tube is made out of?

like SN said some solvents will ruin certain plastics.... like cleaning an acrylic bong with iso... you just dont do it..

you could go to the headshop, i hear formula 420 works well, but im not sure whats in it...

but if its vaped plant matter, consider using alcohol and just evaporate it.... should get you high as fuck... budder is fractionally distilled THC, you have evaporated the actives out of weed and now they have collected on your vape... don't throw that shit out...

i'm pretty sure its just a professional mixture of fragrance, isopropyl alcohol, and salt

I was under the impression he was just cleaning the screen... presumably metal screen. If the screen is stuck on the hose, then I guess there will a problem using the 'tone.

Do you even know what "fractional distillation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_distillation)" is?

I was wondering why the fuck nobody said to just fucking remove the screen and clean it. Granted they are kinda bit of a bitch putting them back in, but you can't let that stop you.

Question answered, thread over.
