Resin and alcohol

[gottalovebud]

When you clean a pipe or something with alcohol can you still smoke all the resin that was in the pipe or will the alcohol desolve it or something

alcohol evaps at room temp... let it evaporate.

I am what they call an expert resin smoker.

But I've never used alcohol lol to get the resin out... i just use a paperclip.

I can't imagine wanting to smoke the resin I clean out of my water pipe. Most of it is tar and other nasties, which mixes with the water, and ends up on the side of the bong. Trust your nose, the stuff smells awful for a reason.

Apparently alcohol works great for THC extraction though.. do a search for ISO hash.

edit: Dizoelio, try hairpins, I find they don't scratch the glass as much as paperclips. Someday you'll have to try cleaning with alcohol though, it just doesn't compare, your pipe comes out like new.
