Glass Head's Guide to Cleaning Your Dab Rig and Accessories - Step-by-Step Instructions:
Glass Heads Top Tip: Salt and shake: For extra cleaning power, add a handful of coarse salt to the rig and shake it vigorously. The salt will act as an abrasive, helping to remove stubborn residue.
- Gather your cleaning supplies: You'll need rubbing alcohol, a small cup or container for soaking, cotton swabs, and pipe cleaners.
- Take apart the Dab Rig: Carefully disassemble your dab rig by removing the nail or banger, downstem, and any other removable parts.
- Soak the pieces: Place the disassembled parts into a cup or container filled with rubbing alcohol. Let them soak for about 30 minutes to break down any residue.
- Clean the Rig: Pour rubbing alcohol to your rig and cover the opening and shake it until any stubborn build has loosened. For thicker residue, you may need to let it soak overnight. Then rinse with fresh water and allow it to dry.
- Scrub the pieces: Remove the parts from the alcohol soak and use cotton swabs or pipe cleaners soaked in rubbing alcohol to scrub away any remaining residue. Rinse the pieces with warm water and let them dry thoroughly.
- Reassemble the Dab Rig: Once all the pieces are clean and dry, reassemble your dab rig
- Final check and maintenance: Check that all the parts are securely attached. If necessary, tighten the connections. Adopt good maintenance practices, such as rinsing your Rig after each session and using smaller loads to prevent excessive residue buildup.
