Water pipes filter this stuff out. The commenter is claiming that a dirty pipe (caked with resin from previous sessions) catches some of those particles, which is... a take... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] TheOneAndOnly@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago (3 children) I thought as much... Thank you. Yeah, for the record, I emphatically disagree with that take. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 6 points 5 months ago (2 children) Yeah, too much resin caked up can make it nauseating to smoke out of, aside from being disgusting and smelling bad. And eventually it can start clogging if it isn't cleaned. Get yourself a jar, fill it with everclear (or isopropyl 91%), soak the thing in it for a few hours, then run some water through it. Repeat if necessary, and scrub it with a pipe brush as needed. Probably only needed once every few months or so, depending on how much you use it. In between deep cleanings, use paper towels or cotton pads with some alcohol to clean the bowl and mouthpiece before or after each session. No big deal. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 child) A little bit of resin is ok. When I was a daily smoker, I'd put the kettle on then pour the hot water through the pipe.

I lost the desire to after years of knowing it was harming me but continuing to do it anyway. But yeah, a little resin is fine, that's why I said cleaning it every few months or so is enough permalink fedilink source parent
