I know I want to smell and taste the toasted flower exactly as the grower intended when they developed the strain. So why would I smoke that gorgeous bud through anything but a clean piece?
Look at it like drinking water: You want it as clean as humanly possible.
It doesn’t take much time or money to keep a piece clean, from bowl to downstem to bong.
All you need is some cleaner, a means of sealing off your piece, water to rinse, and a set of brushes. That’s it: you’ll soon be back to the best tasting, delectable rips of your life.
To start, Let your piece soak in warm water. You can leave the downstem and bowl in the piece. Just seal off the bowl and fill with hot water.
