These handy resin wipes clean more than just your bowl. Sure, they’re great for wiping down a bong after a smoke session, but they can actually clean up small (but sticky) messes anywhere.
When you’re traveling and you have your smoking supplies in the same bag as other things, sometimes the resin can transfer to other items. Res wipes will take that right off water bottles, shoes, and even clothing. This way, you can pack your smoking accessories right along with other gear and trust that you’ll be able to keep everything resin-free. Of course, Res wipes are also great for rolling trays, grinder threading and all your other smoking essentials.
If you’re lucky enough to have a major spill, drip or sticky mess, you’ll be glad you had Res wipes on hand. They’re quick to grab even in emergencies—the lid flips up for easy, one-handed access. Resin cools and hardens quickly, so the sooner you can address the mess, the better!
If you’re staying at a friend’s vacant place order or an Airbnb, you’ll want to rid the place of any evidence of marihuana. Wipe off all surfaces with the Res wipes, even if they don’t look dirty or sticky at first glance. If there’s invisible sticky resin on a tabletop and you don’t see it, a regular Clorox wipe will simply not suffice. In fact, that discreet sticky area will quickly collect dust, dirt and lint, making it obvious very quickly. Using a wipe designed specifically for resin removal before leaving the rental will give you complete peace of mind.
These are also great for taking camping with you. Although they won’t sanitize a surface (they’ll clean it, just not sanitize it!), they can certainly improve the situation and get rid of dirt, dust, dog hair, or anything else on your eating or rolling surfaces.
Res wipes come in 100 count packages, so you can rest assured you’ll be set for the entire trip. You’ll even have some left when you get home, which hopefully will help reinforce the habit of wiping down your piece regularly. Stoner hygiene rocks! Toss these babies in your bag in preparation for your next trip, keep a pack in the car, or stow some away with each tent or sleeping bag so you never forget to bring them along.

Res wipes are a simple solution to this age-old problem. It makes cleaning your piece daily super easy and quick. You’ll have built a new cleaning habit for your piece in no time! Here are some of the biggest benefits to using wipes instead of something like alcohol for daily cleaning.
Res wipes are tough on grime, yet gentle on skin and surfaces. The scrubber dots on the wipes do a lot of the heavy lifting, so they don’t have to rely on strong chemicals.
100ct packs are affordable, so you can be strapped with your cleaning supplies anywhere you take your piece. Keep a pack in your room, in your car, and even in your backpack so you can clean your piece immediately!
Alcohol usually requires salt to be effective enough to get your piece clean (hence why we added the scrubber dots to the Res wipes). But, salt actually scratches even glass, which creates little grooves for resin and bacteria to get stuck in. Once it’s in these microscopic scratches, don’t expect to be able to get a thorough clean ever again. Res Gel and wipes are will leave the glass smooth, meaning your piece will stay in great shape a lot longer.
Just like alcohol isn’t great for the health of your piece, it’s not healthy for us either. Alcohol is a volatile organic compound (VOC), which means that it’s so toxic that it should not be dumped down the drain. If that’s the case, we definitely don’t want to be inhaling any alcohol residue on our smoking devices. All our products are VOC-free, so you don’t need to worry about sacrificing your health for a clean bong. Not worth it!
Wipes are WAY less of a hassle than wetting a cotton pad with alcohol. Not only that, but spilled alcohol can quickly become a disaster. One wrong move and you’re screwed! It’s also very drying to your hands and can leave an unpleasant smell behind on your skin. With Res wipes, just pull one out of the pack and toss it in the garbage once you’ve scrubbed the piece down. These wipes are safe for your hands, but you can always use gloves it you have extra sensitive skin. They have a fresh citrus scent that won’t make your hands stinky!
One 10-second wipe down every day will keep your piece fresh for a long time and free of damage. Plus, it will save you those hour-long deep cleans that still don’t leave it sparkly clean. For a safe, effective, affordable way to keep your piece clean, stock up on your Res Wipes today!

Any time water is involved, bacteria grows much faster. You should always be dumping your bong water after each smoke session, but even moisture leftover will speed up the process of bacteria growth. If your bong is left un-cleaned for long enough, even fungus, mold and biofilm will start to take over the inside of your piece. Trust us, you don’t even want to touch your bong when it’s gotten to that point, let alone smoke out of it. It’s damaging to your lungs, your hit will taste gross, and your bong won’t be functioning at it’s best.
The best 420 party prep you can do is to give your pieces a nice soak with Res Gel and give them a deep clean. If your bong is super dirty, soak it overnight beforehand so you can give it a second cleanse in the morning before the festivities. Even if your pieces don't look too grungy, you can give all the mouthpieces, bowls, bangers, and dab tools a quick wipe down with a Res Wipe just to be safe!
Res Gel is the safest way to quickly clean your bong because it’s a clay-based formula, free of alcohol and other harmful chemicals. It’s gentle enough to use on all materials, but it’s strong enough to eliminate all stages of mold. Using Res Gel is simple, just:
Now you have a clean, sparkling piece to offer your friends. You should be practicing good smoking hygiene anyways, but especially when you’re sharing your pieces! Plus, if there’s ever a time to deep clean your piece to make it like new, it’s 420.

The percolator or “perc” refers to a part of your bong that dips down inside the water chamber and creates more bubbles when you take a hit. Percs come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes, but the concept is a small glass contraption that the water passes through to create a filter. This makes more not only smoother hits, but big hits that are easier to take.
On an inhale, the smoke is diffused through the holes of the percolator, and is turned into tons of tiny bubbles that make that classic bong rip sound (ahhh). The more bubbles there are, the more surface area the smoke has to travel over. A longer distance means the smoke lingers over the water for longer, resulting in a cooler, smoother, and less harsh or “smoky” hits. Impurities are also filtered out more thoroughly when passing over the percolator bubbles.
Because of this, beginners should always look for a bong with a built-in percolator. It greatly reduces coughing and makes getting used to a fresh piece a lot easier.
We’ve all gone a little crazy over percolators, so there are a ton of styles to choose from. The most common that you’ll find in most basic pieces is the downstem percolator, or diffused downstem percolator. This is your simple glass tube that extends down into the water with slits at the bottom. Most bongs will at least include a diffused downstem percolator (like all of Ooze’s silicone water pipes).
Another common one is the showerhead percolator, like the Glyco bong features. This one provides even more filtration as the smoke is passed down from one percolator to the next. With the showerhead perc, smoke passes through multiple stages of cooling and filtration for an extra smooth hit.
Honeycomb percolators are also a new fan favorite. The holes in the bottom of the rounded tube are in the design of a honeycomb, providing lots of airflow for lots of bubbles and a huge hit.
If you’re looking for a bit of a different design, invest in a bong with an inline percolator. These are horizontal glass tubes that go across the water chamber with slits all the way across. This design creates more bubbles and filtration by covering more surface area of the water with airflow.
Try a matrix percolator if you really want to take your filtration game to the next level. These have horizontal and vertical slits, which means there’s a lot of smoke diffusion happening in all directions. The matrix design also makes separation of impurities and THC smoke more effective.
How Do You Clean a Percolator?
Percolators are intricate pieces of glass that have tons of tiny nooks and crannies that resin can get trapped in if you go too long between cleaning sessions. Making a regular habit of changing the water in your percolator bong, and giving it a deep clean with Res Gel will help to keep all those tiny airflow holes free and open. A percolator can get notoriously clogged and will require a lot of lung power to hit if neglected!
Go take a look at your bong and see if you can figure out what kind of percolator it has! Knowing that can help you achieve the smoking experience you really want, and trust us, it’ll be a lot better with a percolator!
]]>We know that cleaning stubborn resin off your piece, hands, and surrounding surfaces is a buzz kill. With the brand-new Ooze Resolution Res Wipes, you can clean your hand pipe, dab tool, hands, and surfaces in record time. That sticky residue will instantly glide off glass, metal, and ceramic surfaces leaving it spotless! In this blog, we will discuss why and how to use Ooze Resolution Wipes.
Ooze Resolution Wipes will transform your smoking ritual, preserve your favorite piece, and protect your lungs. They make washing in between deep cleaning sessions with Ooze Resolution Gel Cleaner super easy. Plus, they are equipped with a unique scrubber side and each pack comes with 100 wipes! Here are some other key benefits to cleaning your smoking utensils with Ooze Resolution Wipes before you take your next rip:
1. Ritualize Your Sesh.
We believe a pre-smoking ritual is as important as a post-smoking ritual. You've already started your sesh routine if you have a snacks, a show, or even a puzzle you always like to do after you blaze. To create a healthy pre-smoking ritual, we suggest wiping down your piece with a Res Wipe before your sesh and soon enough it will be part of your routine!
2. Preserve Your Piece.
Every stoner has a favorite piece that they hope will last forever. If that sounds like you, we highly suggest treating your price possession with TLC. Preserving your favorite piece is super simple with Ooze Resolution Wipes. They make it easy to keep your piece in tip-top condition as the resin instantly glides off.
3. Protect Your Health.
Resin can wreak havoc on your lungs and can even make you sick. Plus, smoking out of a dirty piece diminishes the flavor of your bud. Here at Ooze Resolution, we are on a mission to make sure our customers live a healthy stoner lifestyle. Wiping your piece clean before or after each sesh is super important!
Ooze Resolution Wipes can be used on glass, metal, and ceramic surfaces. This means they can be used to clean dirty bangers, bowls, dabbers, ashtrays, tables battery connection points, and even your hands!
Just grab a wipe, the dirty pipe you want to clean, and rub away. You will be amazed at how easily the residue will glide right off!
Dab tools are bound to get covered in you guessed it...dabs! To clean your dabber off and get it ready the next sesh, just grab an Ooze Resolution Wipe and wash the old residue away.
We all know the smoke session can get out of hand, and that is okay. If you end up getting resin or oil on a non-smoking surface, just grab one of these wipes and the gunk will come right up!
If you have resin or oil stuck to your hands, you can easily use an Ooze Resolution Wipe to clean the resin off your hands instead of using something harsh like alcohol.

Just like a fresh pair of sneakers or a fancy watch, you have to maintain it to keep it functioning for as long as possible. Plus, you never have to face off with a super sticky and impossible-to-clean bong again if it’s kept decently resin-free. Implementing these few daily habits (or just one at a time!) will really help make a difference in your smoking experience, the frequency you have to deep clean your piece, and your overall health.
The first (and easiest) daily habit is to dump out your bong water immediately after each smoke session, and then fill it up with fresh water before the next session.
Bong water doesn’t just smell bad because of the smoke—it’s full of bacteria and after it’s been sitting for a while, and even mold grows fast inside a used bong. Simply dump it daily and see how much better your lungs feel.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your stoner hygiene, keep a pack of Res Wipes with your smoking accessories. When you’re ready to lay your bong down to rest at the end of the day, wipe around the mouthpiece and inside the bowl or banger. This should instantly get rid of any sticky residue before it hardens and gets glued onto the piece. Plus, your deep cleaning sessions will be so much quicker and easier with no scrubbing required. When you’re getting the stubborn resin off each day, there will be a lot less to scrub off after a few weeks of use.
Because they’re gentle and safe to use on any material, you can use Res Wipes on all your tools. Keep your dab tools, brushes, lighters, grinders, rolling trays, and even your tabletops clean and resin-free by wiping them down with a Res Wipe.
Pro tip: Res Wipes are even gentle enough to use on your hands! As we all know, resin and wax do not like to come off skin, even with soap. If your hands feel sticky or smell gross after wiping down your piece, give your hands a quick scrub and they’ll smell lemon-y fresh. Res Wipes cut through the grime quickly so there’s no need to scrub them raw or use harsh chemicals.
For THE MOST bong hygiene, deep clean your bong regularly. If you’re taking the extra minute to rinse and wipe down your piece after each use, giving your bong a thorough clean with Res Gel every 2 weeks should suffice. Of course, it comes down to personal preference, how often you use it, and how diligent you are with daily cleaning practices. Res Gel cuts through thick resin, but if used on a mostly-clean piece, it will be sparkling like the day you brought it home in half the time.
It takes time to build a habit, so keep cleaning supplies with your accessories and pieces as a reminder. Your future self will thank you!

If you’re a dabbing connoisseur and you don’t know what a reclaim catcher is, you can probably guess what it’s sole purpose is. The saddest part (actually, the only part that’s remotely sad) about having a big ‘ole oil rig is seeing all the wasted wax drop through the piece, unable to be salvaged. Luckily, that little glob of oil that misses the dab can actually be used again and get you high with the help of a reclaim catcher.
Reclaim catchers collect usable product that slips through the banger into your rig. These typically are silicone attachments that connect to the bottom of the banger, or glass bangers designed with a built-in reclaim catcher. Instead of dropping into the neck of the banger to seep around the inside of your rig, it’s collected in a nice little dish that’s even super easy to dab directly out of.
When the concentrates begin to melt against the glass, it vaporizes most of it, but not all of it. Some of it condenses in the process, cooling down before it’s vaporized. This can quickly clog up your rig. But, your reclaim catcher will gather all of that unvaporized oil (untapped treasures) directly down the nail to the collector.
Some bangers have a drop-down attachment that acts as a removable reclaim catcher. You can also purchase a reclaim catcher that’s separate from your piece altogether, similar to an ash catcher on a bong. Of course, there are a variety of sizes and lengths for reclaim catchers, but shorter ones will typically get you more reclaim, especially if you’re dabbing at lower temperatures. This is because with a longer way to travel to the reclaim catcher, the wax has more time to cool down and condensate, which could cause clogging before it even reaches the reclaim dish.
There are tons of benefits to having an oil rig with a reclaim catcher. The obvious advantage is that you’ll save wasted wax so your investments go further! The more unlikely benefit is that it actually keeps your rig cleaner for much longer. Excess concentrates are collected in a neat little package, and those little drops of wax that don’t get dabbed won’t clog your piece. You’ll notice that you can go much longer without having to deep clean your piece than you did without one of these babies. A simple swap of the water should work for plenty of sessions! Ultimately, reclaim catchers improve the everyday functionality and increases the longevity of your dab rig.
We all want to get the most out of our investments, hence why the reclaim catcher is one of the most innovative dabbing accessories we’ve seen recently. Make your wax go further by reusing your reclaim and keep your rig nice and neat for much longer. And, when you decide it’s finally time for a cleanup, pour some Ooze Resolution cleaning gel into your rig to make it squeaky clean (and it’s reusable, too)!

Knowing how to clean your herb grinder is important for the safety of your piece, the environment, and yourself. It sounds like a tricky task, what with all the curves and grooves of a grinder (ooh, la la), but we’re here to tell you that it only takes 60 seconds with Ooze Resolution Gel and is done in three simple steps.
Before we get into the nitty gritty, let’s quickly go over the reasons that keeping your grinder clean is so important to more than just your smoking experience.
Bacteria, mold, spores, and other allergens can form and grow from the plant matter left for too long. Mold in a grinder just like mold in a water pipe is no joke and can be extremely harmful to your long-term health. Remember, cannabis is a plant; it is alive. Imagine leaving spinach in your fridge for months... you wouldn't want to touch it, much less ingest it.
When an herb grinder is dirty, it will become difficult to turn large pieces of the herb into a small, fine grind. For the grinder to grind the marijuana down into the perfect consistency to smoke, it must be clean. Resin builds on the teeth of the grinder after the first use, so imagine how quickly kief will buildup after just a couple months. Nothing is more annoying than struggling to even turn your grinder before packing an after-work bowl!
A necessary tool for all who smoke dry herb, the grinder is one of the main factors in creating the perfect consistency of fresh flower to pack into any bowl, water pipe, or one hitter or to roll into any joint or blunt. Grinders produce a consistent grind, and a consistent grind is essential for the best smoke!
If your grinder has a kief collector, start by setting that piece aside. Use the scraper that comes with the grinder and run it around the outside edges and screens of the other chambers to get every last piece of kief. Once you feel like you’ve salvaged the majority of the magic weed dust, dissemble your grinder if you haven’t already. Then, prep your Resolution gel bag. Here’s how:
Simply shake the bag of Resolution gel vigorously for 5 seconds—really shake it like you mean it. This will activate the cleaning components in the bag so it effectively removes all the garbage from your grinder.
Place all the dissembled grinder pieces into the Resolution pouch and seal it back up. You can shake the bag a little if you like, but let the grinder soak for about 30 seconds. The gel will begin to break down the buildup on your grinder and make it good as new!
Open the Resolution bag, remove all the grinder pieces and rinse off with warm water. I like to turn the water stream on high so it blasts off any remaining particles. To dry, press a paper towel to it and let it air dry for a while. Don’t use it again until you’re sure it’s completely dry!
The best part about it Ooze Resolution is that you can get dozens of grinder cleans from just this one pouch because it is reusable! So if you add up how much alcohol, salt, zip lock bags, and time you would have used otherwise, Resolution gel really is the fastest, cheapest, and most efficient way to clean your grinder! Plus, you’re not using anything toxic that could be detrimental to your lung health. Get the most out of your bud and clean your grinder (and bong, for that matter!) with Ooze Resolution cleaning gel. Watch this video to see the Resolutioncolo Bong & Pipe cleaner in action!
]]>Bong caps are durable protective covers that fit onto the open ends of your bong. If you’ve been cleaning and carrying your bong without caps, it’s time to change your ways for the better! Resolution Caps are made of heat-resistant food-grade silicone, a perfect material for protecting your bong and locking in odors. Our bong end caps create a tight seal around the openings of your bong to protect your piece while preventing smells and water from leaking out. Plus, every box of Res Caps comes with three assorted sizes that can stretch to fit just about any piece out there!
Using bong end caps is a simple and effective way to keep your bong safe during the cleaning process. When your bong starts to look like something out of a horror movie, a vigorous deep clean is just what the doctor ordered. This could mean a huge mess without resolution bong caps, but with them, it will be a hassle-free cleaning job. Simply fill up your piece with Ooze Resolution Cleaning Gel, seal openings with your Resolution Caps, and shake it up!
Bongs are notorious for smelling a bit skunky after getting tons of love and use. If you’ve never brought your bong on the go just to avoid having dirty bong water become your signature scent, we have just the solution. All you must do is pack up & cap up before you embark on your adventure! Although we suggest cleaning your glass piece with Ooze Resolution before packing it in your bag, you will still trap in odors with Res Caps regardless!
Now you are ready to clean your bong with ease and pack it safely to take it with you on your next adventure. We highly suggest bong hits with a view!

]]>Isopropyl alcohol is a 100% Volatile Organic Compound. VOC's are an extremely toxic pollutant and illegal to put down a drain in many states. With less than 3% VOCs, you can safely use Ooze Resolution without having to worry! In addition, using salt can damage your glass piece because it is such an abrasive product. With Ooze Resolution, there is no need for salt. Plus, isopropyl alcohol and salt are not as fast-acting as Ooze Resolution which cleans glass in 60 seconds!
How to Clean a Glass Blunt
Glass blunts are simple weed smoking devices that enhance every smoking experience. Instead of rolling a blunt every time, just load up that glass blunt and get high! These are super easy to use and can be super easy to clean.

If you already have a glass blunt that’s seen better days, just follow these 4 simple steps to get it back in tip-top shape!

Instructions:
Step 1: Disassemble Glass Blunt
If you are cleaning the Ooze Glass Slider Blunt, take the two parts of your glass blunt apart. If you have a twist glass blunt, you'll want to remove the auger and mouthpiece before cleaning.
Step 2: Pour Gel into Glass Blunt
Unscrew the cap on your Ooze Resolution and carefully pour gel inside your glass blunt. Make sure you have enough gel to coat the inside of both pieces.
Step 3: Use a Pipe Cleaner to Scrub
Take your pipe cleaner and scrub inside the glass to loosen the resin.
Step 4: Rinse with Warm Water
Now, just rinse your glass blunt under warm water and lay both pieces flat on a paper towel to dry.
Now that you are a glass blunt cleaning expert, all you need to do now is maintain it. Repeat this process whenever resin starts to build up on any of your glass pieces. You can use Ooze Resolution to clean all your dab rigs, water pipes, grinders, hand pipes, one-hitters, and glass blunts!
]]>Quartz banger nails are a fan-favorite among dab connoisseurs, but many are lost when it comes to keeping them clean. A clean quartz banger heated to the perfect temperature gives off an amazing flavor. But when your nail is dirty, it won’t matter how great your wax is. That cloudy dark soot will instantly ruin your sesh and your banger over time. If your banger looks like the one pictured below, its more than overdue for a clean!
As wax is heated, small dab marks can stick to the banger’s surface and accumulate with each session This produces a gunky coating that will affect the flavors of the smoke. If you want a full-flavored dab, then you’ll need to keep your banger squeaky clean.
The traditional cleaning methods of isopropyl and salt aren’t effective at removing hard-caked gunk and resin. When you factor in the flammability of isopropyl, it is far from being the safest option. Isopropyl is also a VOC (volatile organic compound), which emits harmful gas.
With Ooze Resolution Gel Cleaner, you have a much easier, safer alternative.
If you are wondering how to clean a banger, here is our fool-proof step by step instructions to make it sparkle.
And that’s how you can clean your banger without any scrubbing or using dangerous VOCs. We also highly recommend cleaning your banger with a cotton swab after each session to reduce residue build up. This will also make it a lot easier to clean!
One of the main perks of using a banger is the purity in flavor you get when you inhale the vapor. When your banger is coasted in residue, that flavor is drastically altered. Not only is the flavor ruined, you’ll also be inhaling fumes of charred resin which will wreak havoc on your lungs.
Like any other glassware, quartz bangers will get dirty if they’re not maintained so they must be cleaned regularly. Also, it's crucial to make sure you don’t heat your nail to the point where it’s red hot. When you do this, the old residue can cook into the quartz which is a process called devitrification. This can degrade the quartz and shorten its longevity.
If you care about maintaining your banger and your health, Ooze Resolution is just what you need to keep your quartz clean! Watch this video to see how it works.

It’s an ongoing debate between smokers on whether it’s best to buy U.S. or China glass pieces. Many believe that glass made in the U.S. is higher quality and worth the extra cost. Most of this is due to quality assurance requirements in American manufacturers.
Glass from China is more affordable, so there also those who are satisfied with the quality of the mass-produced glass pieces—for the price, at least. But, common complaints relate to the way the product was made, including thin glass and glass that isn’t completely or correctly hardened, making it prone to breaking.
When it comes to U.S. versus China glass, it comes down to your budget and how important a super long-lasting, unique piece is to you. If you just need something to get the job done until it needs replacing, save your pennies and go with a China glass piece.
Scientific glass is made with thick glass and a process that focuses on function rather than style. It’s the type of glass required by scientific labs, but has also been used to make smoking products. These glass pieces are more heat-resistant, making them great for dab rigs. They also tend to include higher performance percolators. With thicker glass, these pieces will also last longer and be more resistant to scratches and cracks.
Artisan glass, also called “heady glass” focuses more on style and design. But, in order to achieve beautiful shapes and textures on these one-of-a-kind works, the glass has to be a bit thinner. The uniqueness of artisan glass pieces also warrants a higher price tag. If you’re going to invest in artisan glass, make sure it’s a piece you plan to keep in the house away from any chaos that could cause it to shatter.
Ooze Resolution gel is a powerful and reusable cleaning agent designed to clean all types of glass smoking pieces, no matter the variety. It is much gentler than using alcohol or coarse salt, so especially with your artisan pieces, cleaning with OozeRes will extend the life of your glass.
To use OozeRes gel, simply pour the liquid directly into your bong or dab rig after plugging all the holes with ResCaps. Give it a shake and a swirl, making sure to coat all the grimy resin inside the glass. Keep swirling for 20-30 seconds. Then, rinse out with warm water, and your glass will look brand new! Don’t forget to empty the gel from your piece back into the bag so you can use it again next time.
For smaller glass pieces, you can actually drop it right into the OozeRes bag. Close the bag up, shake it around a bit, and let it sit for 30 seconds.
No matter what type of glass is best for you, make it worth your investment by taking consistent care of it after each use. Maintaining a clean glass piece is easy with OozeRes and is ultimately much better for your health and the health of your piece.

]]>Picture this: It's been a long day at work and all you want to do is rip a fat one. You've been daydreaming about the wonderful moment when you get to smoke, relax, and vibe out on the couch all day. Finally, it's time to light up and your bong won’t hit. The bowl is so clogged and it's impossible to clear. The horror!!!!
You’ve invited your friend over to the crib for a smoke sesh and you can't wait to pack up some premium flower so you guys can giggle for hours. As you go to pull out your favorite bong, your friend screams in utter shock. Something is GROWING in your bong water. Your friend suddenly has other "plans" they forgot about and leaves you alone with the growth. Talk about a party foul.
Your bong is hitting just right but, suddenly you notice a fright. Residue has taken control of your bowl and now it's stuck in your downstem. You try with all your might to get it out but, it's simply not working. Finally, you pull it out and the force of the glass breaks the whole thing. You can’t tell which is more shattered, your bong or your heart.
The sesh is in full swing. You’ve been packing your bong religiously and have made it to outer space level cloud 9. It's time to pack another bong and you notice something horrific. A DEAD FLY is floating in your bong water and it's definitely been in there the whole session. The sesh just went from lit to ick real quick...
Heard enough horror for one day? All these disgusting nightmares could be avoided if they properly clean your glass with Ooze Resolution. Watch this video to see the Resolutioncolo Bong & Pipe cleaner in action!

Even if it’s just a small amount circulating in the air around you, mold can cause a chronic cough and other respiratory tract symptoms. These can even be lasting effects that eventually lead to asthma. Plus, you don’t want to be that guy that has the dirty bong no one ever wants to hit… ew. The good news is that you can turn this horror story into a happy ending by simply keeping your bong squeaky clean!
So how does mold form, and how often do you have to clean your bong? For mold to form in your water pipe, you need three components: a surface, moisture, and nutrients (plant matter). As you take a rip, it's inevitable that plant matter will fall through the bowl into your pipe water. Keep reading to learn about the stages of mold development inside your bong and how to clean it quickly and easily.
Just like any damp place, like a bathroom, water pipes are breeding grounds for many harmful kinds of fusarium, yeast, bacteria and other kinds of microbes. Fusarium is fungi that can cause you to feel ill if inhaled. Don't blow your high with fusarium, guys!
If you don't clean your water pipe daily, mold can begin to appear within 24-48 hours. The mold in your glass pipe will then progress into these three stages…
Moldy water pipes will display a pink film, which is essentially fungus. This is what you see when you look at the build up inside your water pipe when it's been left for too long without a good cleaning. Fungi and bacteria are produced from live plant matter such as cannabis residue. If you keep your water pipe clean, you will stop this growth in its tracks! If you don't it will progress to the next stage... *cue tense string music*
What begins as fungi that can simply be wiped away soon turns into mold that is nearly impossible to kill: white mold.
White mold is what comes as a result of keeping a moldy water pipe sitting for too long. White mold is extremely hard to kill with bleach, the toughest (most toxic) cleaner, which you don’t want to have to use in your water pipe. This is why it's so important to keep it consistently clean.
Plus, white mold will form in the most difficult places to reach and it grows back. Spooky! And speaking of spooky, if you've never heard of biofilm, you'll want to read about the third stage of mold growth in your bong.
Biofilm can grow anywhere there is a combination of a surface, moisture, and nutrients. Your water pipe is its perfect playground!
Microbes begin to release these tiny molecules that enable them to latch onto surfaces, like the walls of your water pipe and cannabis plant residue that lingers in pipe water. Biofilm is what protects these substances released by microbes. When infections and illnesses come about from this biofilm, it's all the more dangerous and difficult to treat.
Biofilm is the great protector of mold in water pipes and if you let it go long enough, it causes serious health risks.
So, what can you do to dominate mold before it dominates your water pipe, no matter what stage it’s in?
Resolution Gel is the quickest and safest way to clean a water pipe even with all 3 toxic stages of mold.
By using a natural, clay based solution, you no longer need to worry about the harmful effects of alcohol or the damage done to your favorite glass piece with coarse salt. Learn more on the dangers of isopropyl alcohol and salt and how to clean a water pipe without alcohol. To make cleaning as painless and easy as possible, the Res Gel Kit comes with everything you'll need to clean your water pipe fast!
Follow this method to clean a moldy water pipe in 60 seconds:
By shaking your Resolution Gel water pipe cleaning pouch, you are activating all of the natural clay based ingredients that can eliminate the mold inside of your glass pipe. Don't sweat this part too much—a good 3-5 second shake will suffice.
Pour the Res Gel solution into your water pipe and apply the res caps to mouth hole and down stem opening. Gently swish the liquid around for about 20-30 seconds. Use a pipe cleaner to get those tough to reach spots if needed. This method will kill any harmful bacteria and molds without the need of rubbing alcohol!
Since Res Gel is reusable (score!), you will want to pour the used solution back into resealable Res bag. You can use it again and again!
Always rinse your smoking glass in warm water, never hot! Any remaining resin build-up will be washed away by warm water, but if you use hot water, you will melt resin back down and it will stick back onto the glass. In 60 seconds, you've got a clean, sparkling water pipe! Watch this video to see the Resolutioncolo Bong & Pipe cleaner in action!
Pro Tip: After smoking from a water pipe, pour out the dirty pipe water immediately, leave it to dry, and refill with fresh water at the beginning of your next sesh! This gives bacteria, molds and biofilm less of a chance to grow.
See? It’s not such a spooky story after all! You don't have to use isopropyl alcohol or lemon juice to clean resin and molds from water pipes and glass pipes. Improve your cannabis experience in a much simpler way by keeping your pipe clean and free of harmful fungi and bacteria.

Luckily, we’ve got an easy way for you to clean your water pipe in just one minute—no shaking required! You can reuse this formula over and over again, saving you more than just time and effort.
First, let’s take a closer look at why we should avoid alcohol and salt for cleaning your glass pieces.
Rubbing alcohol, or Isopropyl alcohol, is extremely toxic to the environment. It is made up entirely of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), which emit toxic fumes into the environment. It’s even illegal to pour it down the sink in some states as it’s considered hazardous waste.
Besides that though, breathing in these fumes can be extremely harmful to your lungs as well. Alcohol is simply too harsh to be used on something you’ll put a flame to and inhale directly into your lungs.
Salt has been used in conjunction with a whole mess of household chemicals to clean pipes for years. The idea is that when shaken around inside the pipe, the salt will knock built-up resin off the sides. Very nice idea in theory, but it’s not really that easy. It comes down to a lot of shaking for very minimal cleaning.
Not only is it ineffective at cleaning your water pipe, but it can actually damage it. Abrasive salt has a sandpaper-like effect. Over time, it can degrade your water pipe and create scratches and grooves. Unwanted resin can seep into the scratched grooves, making your precious glass incredibly hard to clean the next round. Over time, bacteria and even mold can build in these tiny grooves. Yuck! Opt for a liquid cleaner instead that will be gentle with your piece, no matter the material.
So, how am I supposed to clean my glass pieces, you may be asking? For a deep clean that’s easy and requires zero shaking, we love the Resolution Gel water pipe cleaner. Resolution Gel has only 3% VOC, compared to Isopropyl Alcohol's 100% VOC (the toxic fumes we don’t like). This means it’s friendly to the environment and your health.
The best part about this cleaner is that it’s reusable—after letting it soak in your pipe, empty it right back into the container to use it next time. Not only will you save effort, you’ll save some pennies, too.
You will need:
Before you start, make sure to empty out and disassemble your water pipe by removing the bowl piece and downstem. If you find mold in water pipe it is important to clean your water pipe right away. Also keep in mind that you cannot clean a plastic water pipe with Resolution gel, so stick to glass!
Shake your Resolution Gel bag for about 5 seconds to activate the all-natural clay based formula. Open the top of the pouch and get ready for some good cleaning.
Pour between 2-4 ounces of Resolution Gel water pipe cleaning kit inside your dirty water pipe. You only need to use enough gel to coat any spots that are visibly covered by resin. Let the gel sit in the water pipe for about 20-30 seconds while you shake and swirl. Make sure the gel hits every part inside your dirty piece.
Place the downstem and bowl piece into the pouch directly and let sit for 30 seconds as well. You can swirl the pouch but not much is needed.
Pro Water Pipe Cleaner Tip: We recommend you use the res caps to cover both ends of the water pipe so you can shake without getting any solution or dirty water pipe grime on your fingers.
Remove the downstem and bowl attachment from the pouch. Then, pour the solution from your water pipe back into the pouch. Rinse your water pipe, downstem, and bowl piece off in running warm water.
And there you have it! A perfectly clean water pipe with no scratches from abrasive salts, and no harmful toxins. Watch this video to see the Resolutioncolo Bong & Pipe cleaner in action!

Are you one of those people who use your bong without cleaning it regularly? Do you share your bong with friends without cleaning it after? If this sounds like you, it’s probably time to learn the importance of cleaning your glass bong on a regular basis.
We know what you’re thinking: cleaning bongs can be a burden. You just want to get a quick session in without going through the cleaning process. Either way, cleaning your water pipe is an essential part of maintaining a healthy stoner lifestyle. Today, we’re here to expand on why you should clean your bong regularly.
Dirty bongs are unhealthy. Bongs collect unwanted debris that can degrade into bacteria and fungus. When bacteria gets into your bong water, mold can easily sprout inside the pipe’s water chamber which can wreak havoc on your lungs. Plus, the taste of moldy bong water is rancid and vomit-inducing. Not cleaning your bong can also lead to respiratory conditions like bronchitis, which can take months to get recover from. Using a dirty bong is all around an unhealthy way to live your life.
Clean bongs mean fresh smoke. When you spend good money on a quality glass piece, it's crucial to get the cleanest hit you can get. When your glass is clean, you’ll have no residue from the previous sessions to interfere with your hit. The clean smoke will taste so much better and allow you to enjoy the flavor of your bud.
Clean bongs hit smoothly. No one wants to rip a bong only to get into a coughing fit immediately after. If you clean your pipe before you hit it, the hit will be super smooth because the peculator isn't clouded with debris.
You won't waste any product. By now you surely get the point that hitting a dirty bong completely ruins the experience but, it also wastes product. When you use a dirty bong, a high amount of smoke will be leaking through the bowl. This occurs because the bong is clogged with nasty resin.
At this point, you are probably wondering “how often does the ‘clean bong lifestyle’ demand I clean my bong?” The answer depends. If you are the only one using your bong, you should clean your bong every couple of days and change the water after every use. If you share your bong with others, it's crucial to clean your bong out immediately after! Watch this video to see the Resolutioncolo Bong & Pipe cleaner in action.
We understand that cleaning your bong can typically be a chore. That's why we created Ooze Resolution. We knew we had to create solutions that make cleaning your bong a breeze. Our natural products are free of harsh chemicals like isopropyl, making Ooze Resolution perfectly safe to use. Simply pour the gel, cap the bong, shake, and rinse, and your bong will as good as new.
If you ask us, the clean bong lifestyle is the only option. Don’t make cleaning harder than it needs to be. Check out our bong cleaning products, and start living the clean bong lifestyle now!
You’ve been using Ooze Resolution Gel to clean your equipment for a while now and it's been doing a killer job. But now you’ve used almost all your glass cleaner, and your favorite glass piece is desperately in need of some TLC.
What if we told you there was a foolproof way to use every drop out of your Ooze Resolution Gel pouch— every time. A way that doesn’t require you to hopelessly squeeze the life out of your pouch, and one that will ensure you are efficiently cleaning your glass!
Let’s get into it.
Before we talk about getting the most of your Ooze Resolution Gel, let’s discuss how you should use your gel when you first open up the pouch. A little bit of Ooze Resolution glass cleaner and some hot water can go a long way. Never use more than necessary. We know water pipes can get ridiculously messy, but that doesn’t mean you need to use an excessive amount.
When the pouch is almost out of gel, people usually attempt to squeeze every last drop out. This method isn't very effective. Lucky for you, we have a better one. Even when the pouch seems like it’s practically empty, there is usually still some leftover gel hiding in the crevices of the pouch. Simply add hot water to the pouch. This hot water will pull all of the gel out of the pouches' crevices which will usually give you enough gel for 1-2 cleanings!
This is a foolproof way to get the most out of your Ooze Resolution gel. Just remember to use it conservatively and add some hot water to the pouch for a few extra cleanings.
I'm sure you have seen hundreds of articles by now about cleaning your water pipe with various house hold items with very intricate steps and over night soaking.
Come on guys, we are better than this. We are going to show you how to clean a water pipe in 60 seconds for the fastest and easiest way to clean a water pipe. Watch this video to see the Resolutioncolo Bong & Pipe cleaner in action or keep reading!
It's 2021 and it's about saving money, time, and protecting your health - more importantly your lung health.
Well there is a much better way and in fact we guarantee we have the easiest way to clean a water pipe because you only need three items and 60 seconds of your time!
Resolution Gel water pipe cleaner can clean your dirty glass not only in a minute, but it uses no harmful toxins for your lungs, and does not damage your water pipe like these other DYI methods.
Good friends don’t share dirty water pipes, so it’s important that you consistently clean and care for your glass pipes and water pipes.
Here’s the problem with traditional water pipe cleaning: it’s time consuming.
Because it’s inefficient, it makes most people put it off. This allows for harmful bacteria growth inside of your water pipes and you don't want to inhale all of that plus the resin and tar buildup.
Isopropyl alcohol is high in VOC (volatile organic compounds). So high in fact that it's 100% VOC. In states like Colorado and California it's illegal to pour isopropyl alcohol down the drain because it is hazardous to the environment.
Inhalation of isopropyl has been known to aggravate longstanding respiratory concerns like asthma. Go easy on your lungs and alcohol by avoiding this inefficient water pipe cleaning ingredient.
Resolution Gel Water Pipe Cleaning Kit is only 3% VOC so it's perfectly safe for you and the environment. Learn how to clean a water pipe without alcohol full steps.
We see a plethora of recommendations on the internet. We see not so wise advice to use baking soda, table salt, dish soap, cotton swabs, tablespoons of salt, lemon juice, rubbing alcohol, vinegar, and the list goes on and on.
DYI is cool and all but when it becomes very inefficient it's time to move on guys! While isopropyl alcohol and vinegar can help break down resin and oils to a degree, it's actually the coarse salt that does the cleaning. Not to mention the intense and vigorous shaking that must be done for minutes and minutes. #shakeweight
The problem is the salt scratches your water pipe and slowly begins to cut grooves on the inside of your water pipe. The next time you smoke, resin and tar begins to build up and is near impossible to get out again. Bacteria growth will begin to build in these grooves as well, and that is something you definitely want to avoid.
Traditionally, here’s how you would clean a water pipe: Empty the water pipe, disassemble it, soak the small parts (for hours), pour salt and isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) inside the pipes, scrub the water pipe, and let the solution soak until the water pipe is clean.
And I have no idea where you put that damn lemon.
Cleaning a water pipe with Resolution is easier and much faster. Like 60 seconds fast.

For recreational and medicinal marijuana users, knowing how to get that water pipe sparkling as bright as new, and with ease, has been a trial and error experience over the years. From the dangers of Isopropyl Alcohol, to vigorously shaking your water pipe for 30 minutes only to find resin still built up on the sides, nothing seemed to work.
A water pipe cleaner that isn't harmful to you or the environment that actually gets the job done seemed to be impossible... until now!
Resolution Gel has been said to be the best product to clean your water pipe, and we know why. So, take a fat rip and continue reading on with us to learn how to effectively and efficiently get your water pipe cleaner than ever! Watch this video to see the Resolutioncolo Bong & Pipe cleaner in action!
Isopropyl Alcohol has been the go-to household item used for cleaning a water pipe for quite some time. Along with some course sea salt, give your water pipe a shake, and there you have it... a "clean" (or so you think) water pipe and a filthy sink!
Alcohol is super abrasive, it actually hardens the resin and knocks it off. When the resin falls down your sink, it is hit with hot water, which loosens the resin back up so that it sticks better all up and down your pipes.
YUCK!
Furthermore, alcohol contains 100% VOCs which are pollutants. In some states it is illegal to dispose of Isopropyl Alcohol down the drain. THAT is how detrimental to our health and environment.
Since alcohol is used in the majority of methods for cleaning a glass pipe, it seems like it's the only option to a clean water pipe. It's either alcohol and salt solution or just alcohol. Common mistake. This is why there's too many dirty water pipes lying around... a lot of smokers agree, it doesn't make sense to clean toxins out of a water pipe with harmful chemicals. So, how do you clean a water pipe without alcohol?
Resolution Colo took matters into their own hands with this frustration daily weed smokers share. Resolution Gel was created after much R&D. This gel is safe for you and the environment containing less than 3% VOCs. This water pipe cleaner is effective and reusable. Any unused gel goes right back into the resealable bag and can be used as many as 5-10 times, depending on how dirty the piece is.
Resolution Gel is the best way to effectively and efficiently clean a water pipe. Additionally, res gel is the best way on how to clean a grinder and how to clean a glass pipe. The kit comes with everything you need and you don't have to worry about cleaning using harmful chemicals that alcohol contain!
Can you remember what your water pipe looked like the day you got it? Crystal clear, clean, tasty rip, no slimy, dark gunk...? That's the ideal state your water pipe wishes to be in. When you've gone too long without cleaning your water pipe funky stuff starts to grow.
That funky stuff isn't just nasty but it is actually toxic to your body. Think about this, cannabis is a plant. It is living. We sometimes forget this and therefore, neglect our smoking tools. When we don't treat our smoking accessories with care, our health could suffer.
It's important to clean your water pipe for your health, no doubt. Furthermore, a clean water pipe can provide the most pleasant and enjoyable experience, every smoke sesh. Below are additional key motivators to clean that dirty water pipe:
The slimy film that builds up in a used water pipe after use without cleaning is ideal for bacteria and fungi to grow.
As previously mentioned, the bacteria that grows is harmful to your lungs.
Mold or fungi, is detrimental to our immune system, to our lungs, and our respiration. Certain fungi can cause severe medical conditions and trigger allergies like crazy.
A clean water pipe is the only way to keep this from happening while enjoying your favorite herbs.
Pro tip: Fresh lemon juice contains enzymes that break down the slime that is resin that builds up on the inside of a water pipe. Adding two drops to the water you put in your water pipe while smoking, prevents the yucky mess from growing. The lemon juice also helps kill the putrid pipe water smell and keeps things fresh!
It only takes a few drops to achieve the desired effect. In this case, more is not merrier. Too much lemon juice will start to overpower the flavors of your favorite strain's terpenes. Two small drops will do the trick!
Luckily, Resolution Colo recognized the annoyance of gathering up all these different household items each time you need to clean a water pipe. It's evident that this is a deterrent for cleaning your water pipe. When something is too much of a hassle, it will get put off to a later date.
Luckily, Resolution Gel realized this and simplified the process by including everything you will need to efficiently clean your dirty water pipe. No need for course sea salt or rubbing alcohol. Here's what you'll need to get started:
Now that you have a better understanding for why it is important to keep a clean water pipe, lay out all your essentials, including that filthy water pipe.
Follow these steps to clean a water pipe:
Step 1. Dump out the old mucky pipe water.
Step 2. Take apart your water pipe.
Step 3. Grab Resolution Gel, pour enough to coat your water pipe (about 3 ounces). Remember, you can reuse this gel numerous times!
Step 4. Grab carb caps and place over mouthpiece and joint that connects to downstem. This will keep from any filthy resin water from splashing out everywhere.
Step 5. Slide any remaining small pieces of your water pipe, like the flower bowl, into the resealable shake bag. You can also include your grinder at this time and knock out two birds with one stone.
Step 6. Shake bag and shake the water pipe to activate the gel (no need for salt or alcohol). Make sure the whole water pipe is coated and not filled. It's not necessary to fill the water pipe entirely with gel. In fact, there needs to be air space to shake the water pipe so resin gets knocked off. Let it sit for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Step 7. Rinse with clean warm water. Leave upside down to dry in dishwasher so it is supported by the racks. Or you can hand dry if you're in a hurry for another rip. And just like that, clean as new water pipes!
The cotton swabs that the gel comes with is for fine detailing any nook and cranny. Use these when you have really harsh resin stuck in a crevice.
First, identify which type of smoker you consider yourself. This will help you determine how often you should clean your water pipe.
If you believe yourself to be a heavy smoker- one that smokes multiple times, every day, it is recommended to clean your water pipe every 48 hours.
Regular use exposes your water pipe to a lot of smoke and a lot of heat. Bacteria growth is slowed down by these two factors, but only for a limited time. After 48 hours bacteria growth begins to speed up and then there's nothing you can do but to clean your water pipe! (Or, in some annoyed smoker's case, just toss the whole thing out).
If you consider yourself a casual smoker- one that smokes a few times a week, it is suggested to clean your water pipe after each use.
This seems a little backwards that heavy smokers don't have to clean after every use but for the casual smoker, taking a rip and letting it sit for days before you light up again is fuel for fungi growth! This is because when you don’t subject the bacteria to smoke and heat every few hours, it has lots of time to grow and get stronger.
If you see one or more of the following giveaways, it's time for a water pipe cleaning:
Cleaning your water pipe can be very time consuming if the water pipe has been neglected for too long. And for those smokers that choose to use salt and alcohol to clean a water pipe, the job could take up to 3 hours. So this tip is for you!

If you love kief as much as we do and you want to be able to clean your smoking tool while saving as many crystals as possible, continue reading this article! We will teach you hacks for getting your grinder shiny and new in the most efficient way that is safe for you, your grinder, and the environment.
If you're familiar with the various methods to cleaning a grinder, or pollen screen, then it's safe to say that you've heard that the main ingredient used to clean is Isopropyl Alcohol.
Isopropyl Alcohol seems effective to deep clean water pipes, grinders, and other metal or glass smoking accessories but in actuality, alcohol hardens the resin and knocks it off, abrasively. This damages your grinder and leaves you with hardened resin in your sink.
Additionally, alcohol contains 100% Volatile Organic Compounds which are pollutants to our environment and us. In some states such as, California, it is illegal to dispose of Isopropyl Alcohol down your drain. That is how harmful alcohol is.
The best way to clean a grinder screen is Resolution Gel. Resolution Gel contains less than 3% VOCs and it thoroughly cleans a kief screen without damaging it. Safe, gentle, and powerful, Resolution Gel cleans and disinfects your grinder screen, making it as new as the day you got it! Watch this video to see the Resolutioncolo Bong & Pipe cleaner in action!
In order to clean your kief catcher screen with Resolution Gel, here are the things you will need to get the job done:
Resolution Colo simplified things and included everything you will need to make a grinder good as new but if by chance you don't have a kief key to scrape the pollen chamber, you can grab a guitar pick which is very efficient in saving plant matter.
A needle or safety pin can also be used to poke through the crystals through the grinder screen.
Once you've gotten all your tools and essentials laid out, it is time to follow these steps to clean a metal grinder screen:
Step 1. The most common grinders consist of multiple chambers and are known as multi-piece grinders. Whether you use a single chamber grinder or multi-piece, twist each chamber off and set out separately.
Step 2. The kief collector, the bottom chamber, is the part we want to be very diligent with. The metal net or screen will be at the top of this chamber. Set this chamber aside.
Step 3. Grab your nylon tube brush that came with your Resolution Gel. Start brushing each chamber of your grinder over your rolling tray. Any plant matter that falls onto the tray can be saved and enjoyed!
Step 4. Now that you have gotten as much pollen as you can out of each chamber, it's time to grab the kief chamber.
Step 5. The guitar pick will be helpful to scrape as much kief as possible. Scrape the entire chamber.
Step 6. Use needle or safety pin to poke through the holes of the grinder screen. Then, scrape the screen. Be careful not to warp it.
This chamber is now ready to follow the steps to How to Clean a Grinder with Resolution Gel.
There is nothing like having a functioning grinder that works with ease. When you've cleaned your sticky grinder that you're used to having issues with, you'll notice the difference. It's almost like we forget how a grinder works, we're so used to the struggle of twisting with force. You will know when it's time to clean your grinder!
The consistency of the ground marijuana depends on it. You'll notice your herb starts to look really chewed up when you've gone too long without cleaning it. Dealing with a clean grinder is beautiful, the product is a perfect and consistent slice into a fine grind of dry herbs.
More beloved kief to enjoy is left at the bottom when you clean your grinder. And cleaning the screen will be much easier, if you make cleaning your grinder a routine habit. A clean grinder screen plays a huge role in determining how much kief you are able to save with your grinder.
To save the kief from the pollen collector chamber, have your guitar pick or grinder key handy, you will use this little tool to scrape the kief into a smaller container.
Step 1: Using your guitar pick, carefully run around the sides and get all the plant matter into a pile.
Step 2: Once you have a nice pile, grab your smaller container and dump your greenery inside.
Step 3: You can scrape the entire grinder to get any plant matter out. All plant matter left behind in the grinder is smokeable!
Step 4: A needle can help you with the screen. Simply, but carefully, poke through the holes with a small needle or safety pin. You will be able to save even more pollen this way.
Step 5: Storing all plant matter in a small container will allow you to get the grinder clean.
Now that you know the benefits of a clean grinder screen and the harms of Isopropyl Alcohol, the decision should be simple, Resolution Gel is the best way to clean all your smoking utensils. Resolution Gel will clean your grinder screen, your grinder, your water pipe, etc. etc. like you've never seen before! All while, not harming the environment or damaging your health.

If you want to smoke properly, your water pipe needs to be thoroughly cleaned. The problem is that the traditional methods of cleaning can potentially do more harm than good. Isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) is highly flammable, so putting a flame to your water pipe right after you clean it can be pretty dangerous.
At Resolution, we've developed a better alternative. It doesn’t require isopropyl, nor does it require excessive scrubbing. You simply pour the solution in, let is soak for a few minutes, rinse, and you’re good to go.
Let’s explain it step-by-step.
Another option is to place the water pipe pieces inside the Resolution Gel pouch:
With either method, you can quickly and effectively clean your water pipe. The gel and pouch are made to be reused 5-10 times, which is perfect if you’re an active water pipe user.
Dirty water pipe are a lung hazard. Unclean water pipe collect debris, which is known to develop into bacteria and fungus. As you can imagine, inhaling from a water pipe that’s teeming with bacteria won’t be good for your lungs. You have a higher risk of respiratory irritation, and you’re more likely to catch some sort of infection. The last thing you want is to get sick from your water pipe.
Dirty water pipes ruin a smoking session. It’s likely that you’ve paid good money for your herb, so why not get the most of it by smoking from a freshly cleaned glass? Clean smoke has a much better taste, and will make for a superior session.
Dirty water pipes don’t hit smoothly. If you’ve hit your water pipe and you immediately fall into a convulsive coughing fit, it can be a sign that your water pipe isn’t fully clean. Debris in a water pipe can be disruptive, and will degrade the quality of your hit.
Pathogens and dirty water are a match made in hell. If you see a nasty biofilm within your glass, you’re looking at a breeding ground for bacteria, yeast, and other nasty microorganisms. This resin can affect your next smoking session and sabotage your lungs. By neglecting to properly clean your water pipe, you’re giving these microbes a free highway to your throat and lungs, opening yourself up to a myriad of terrible infections and discomfort.
Cleaning your water pipe has never been easier with Resolution’s water pipe cleaning products. Free of harmful chemicals and ridiculously simple to use, our gel pouches are made for you to safely and conveniently clean your water pipe.

Even experienced smokers don’t really know the difference between the two, but we assure you, there are some differences that you should note.
In today’s post, we’re going to describe those differences and how they can impact your smoking experience.
A glass water pipe is a smoking device that uses water as a filtration system. The average glass pipe will consist of a base (to fill in water), a tube (where smoke flows to your mouth), a downstem, a bowl (where your herb is packed), and a mouthpiece. You can also add a percolators to add additional filtration chambers to the glass pipe, which will purify the smoke and make it much smoother and flavorful. Some smokers also choose to have ice pinches, which prevents the ice from falling in the water (the ice acts as another filtration layer to purify the smoke).
Water pipes are awesome due to their simplicity. Assemble the pieces we listed in the paragraph above, add water to the base, add your herb of choice to the bowl, ignite it, and smoke away.
Water pipes are a classic device that both avid and casual smokers love. Its ease of use, in addition to the quality of smoke it produces, makes it a must-have item. Because they’re made of borosilicate glass, they’re pretty durable, but they’re not indestructible (so don’t get too careless). They’re pretty easy to clean (especially if you use our glass pipe cleaning kits).
Water Pipes tend to be a bit hefty on their price, so they’re definitely not the cheapest smoking option out there, especially when you add in additional filters and percolators. But you can also argue that the quality of the smoke it produces, along with the device’s longevity, makes the glass pipe an affordable option.
Technically speaking, the term “bubbler” is just another word for a water pipe. So glass water pipes can also be considered bubblers (which is another reason why people often mix the two up). However, the bubbler we’re referring to is a specific type of water pipe and it differs a bit from the glass pipes.
For one, it’s smaller than a water pipe, which is a quality many people love because they want to be able to palm their smoking device in public without raising too much attention. Bubblers require much less water to fill the chamber and can be discreetly carried.
The anatomy of the bubbler is pretty straightforward. A long tube connects a mouthpiece to a bulbous base. This simple design makes for a simplified diffusion process, as bubblers will have percolators with just two or three holes, while a water pipe will have more complex percolators that can have a honeycomb-like structure. Because they have smaller chambers, they have a simple, unique chug, which many people like.
Unlike the glass pipe, the bubbler has a one-piece design. Which makes it simpler to use in some ways, but also harder to clean.
Bubblers don’t have nearly the same amount of customization options as glass water pipes. With a glass pipe, you can customize almost every piece. Bubblers do have pretty cool shapes, as they have a variety of mouthpieces.
Both are fantastic smoking devices, but they serve different purposes. With bubblers, you can discreetly carry them with you as they don’t draw too much attention, while glass water pipes are definitely are more of an “in private” smoking device.
Water Pipes are a classic item, and their diffusion process is more complex. Bubblers are much simpler and offer unique chugs that some people like. That said, many people prefer using their water pipe for its crisp, clean smoke.
Whether you use a water pipe or bubbler, it’s important that you keep it clean to get the most out of it. You don’t want to smoke with nasty, grimy resin in your equipment, so definitely make sure you clean your glass pipes regularly.
To close, which device is superior? It depends on your personal preference! But if you want to understand the differences between these two devices, keep this blog post in mind. Watch this video to see how it works.
]]>The truth is that smoking without filtration may not be the optimal route to go. Many smokers are legitimately worried if lighting up their favorite herbs can cause discomfort to their throat and lungs, so they’ve looked at water pipes as a possible alternative to the more traditional smoking methods.
If you’re looking for a cleaner option, the water pipe can definitely be worth considering. Some studies are showing that glass pipes/water pipes are not as harsh as other methods. Let’s discuss why.
It comes down to this: People believe water pipes are better due to its filtration system. When the dry herb is ignited, it combusts and converts into smoke. This smokes moves through the water pipe's chambers, into the water, and the smoke that enters the user’s mouth is filtered.
The water “traps” carcinogens that come from ash and tar. The molecules in the water binds to these compounds, while the neutral compounds from the herb’s smoke flows up the tube and into the mouthpiece.
A few things happen during this process. The harmful toxins that are common with other smoking methods are basically blocked from entering your mouth. Ash, tar, and even butane emissions (from your lighter) are mostly filtered, providing cleaner, smoother hits.
As the smoke travels through the water, small bubbles are created, which is what cools down the smoke considerably. This is a big benefit for water pipe smoking. The cooler the smoke, the better it is (generally speaking) for your body.
Objectively speaking, cool smoke is safer than hotter, unfiltered smoke. This is clear, and it’s immediately evident as you observe that you’ll cough less when you use a water pipe vs. when you use a joint, for example. Cooler, cleaner smoke won’t irritate the lungs as much as hot, unfiltered smoke, and this provides a better smoking experience.
Now, many believe that all smoke, whether it’s filtered or not, is bad. As to the safety of the smoke, it’ll vary based on the herb you smoke. In some cases, water pipe smoke can have minimal impact on your quality of life, and depending on the herb you smoke, it may have some benefits. That said, we can’t make blanket statements about your body and personal needs, nor can we suggest that water pipe smoke will improve your lung capacity.
However, what we can do is look at what studies have to say about water pipe smoke vs. other smoking methods.
The Journal of the National Cancer Institute 31, 627-635 (1963) published a study that showed water filtration significantly reduces the amount of toxins in the smoke.
This isn’t to claim that smoking a water pipe is the safest thing in the world, nor does it suggest that all toxins are filtered out. But we can conclude that filtered smoke is superior to unfiltered smoke.
Not to mention, a water pipe can provide a better smoking experience. This is subjective, but many people prefer using a water pipe rather than other smoking methods.
It’s absolutely crucial that your water pipe is clean when you smoke from it. Dirty water is teeming with nasty bacteria and toxins that you don't want in your body. Plus, it’ll leave a nasty after taste in your mouth. This defeats the purpose of using the water pipe, so we suggest cleaning the water pipe often. This is painlessly simple if you use our cleaning kits. Watch this video to see the Resolutioncolo Bong & Pipe cleaner in action! If you have a water pipe, you'll want to take a look at our water pipe cleaning kit. If you use a dab rig, check out our dab rig cleaning kit.
Your water pipe can possibly be safer than other smoking methods, just make sure you use quality herb and maintain and care for your pipe.
]]>Your dirty water pipe holds 49% more bacteria than the average public toilet seat, in fact. To make matters worse, that’s not the only thing your water pipe is dirtier than.
The average pipe has 1304% more bacteria than an average dog food bowl, and 90% more bacteria than inside the average dumpster.
If these facts don’t make your stomach churn, we don’t know what will. But if you’re a normal human that now understands how revolting it is to use a dirty water pipe, you will now want to do something about it.
We got some tips for ya. These tips will help you avoid having a bacteria party in your mouth.
We recommend cleaning your water pipe after every time you use it. And when you clean it, do it thoroughly. We’ll toot our own horn here and say that our cleaning kits are the most convenient way for you to clean. Simply pour *just enough* gel inside the glass so it’s evenly coated. Give it a good shake to reach all of the surfaces inside. Finally, rinse the glass with warm water. And there you have it— your glass will be as clean as when you first bought it.
This is a superior way to clean your glass than the traditional method of using alcohol and salt. Not to mention what havoc VOC's can wreak on your health with repeated use.
We make it so easy to clean your water pipe these days that if your water pipe is dirtier than a toilet bowl, it’s totally your fault.
Sharing your water pipe among friends can be considered a social responsibility. It’s also a health hazard if your friends’ mouths are a bacteria breeding ground. Using a mouthpiece on your glass has been shown to lower bacteria up to 5,924%. If you’re using your friend’s water pipe, there’s no telling how well they maintain their glass, so it’s a necessity to bring your own mouthpiece. If others are using your water pipe, have some spare mouthpieces for them to use, too.
So don’t let them sit in your glass. Some people may see no problem with their water pipe being nastier than a Burger King toilet bowl at 2AM, but if you care about your health, let’s do something to avoid this hazard. To recap:
Your dirty pipe holds more bacteria than you can ever imagine. Follow these tips, keep your glass clean, and rip with total peace of mind. Watch this video to see the Resolutioncolo Bong & Pipe cleaner in action!
]]>One of the worst things you can have is a dirty water pipe. Not only is it visually disgusting, it totally ruins the festivities. Taking a hit from a dirty water pipe will likely make you and your guests feel… gross and terrible.
So, before you enjoy the fireworks, we wholeheartedly recommend that you clean your water pipe. In today’s post, we’re going to list a few reasons why you should clean your water pipe this 4th of July.
Bacteria and parasites love dirty water. Do you see a dark, nasty resin within your glass? That resin is teeming with ambitious bacteria and parasites, and they’re in your water pipe due to the collection of dirty water. Scientists have observed that bacteria becomes active merely 22-24 hours after sitting in stagnant water. These microbes multiply rapidly, and the biofilm within the water pipe hardens with each puff.
Yeast, bacteria, and pathogens use your water pipe as a playground. And when you inhale from your water pipe, those nasty microbes enter your respiratory tract— straight into your lungs. When this happens, you are at a high risk for infection and disease. It’s not uncommon to get pneumonia, strep throat, emphysema cholera, and even malaria. Does it really make sense to have a dirty water pipe and potentially contract a debilitating disease? Take the time to fully clean your water pipe.
A dirty water pipe gives off a horrific taste. Nasty, clogged bowls taste terrible, keeping you from fully enjoying your water pipe session. And during July 4th, you don’t want your friends choking on disgusting, stinky smoke. It’ll leave a bad impression, and it’ll guarantee you won’t enjoy the substances within your water pipe. Clean water pipes simply give off a better taste. You should want you and your friends to enjoy your water pipe hits, not cringe in horror due to the nauseating taste and smell of a dirty water pipe.
Clean water pipes offer smooth hits. A dirty water pipe will clog the airflow, which is something you obviously don’t want when you smoke. One of the main draws of using a water pipe (as opposed to a joint) is that the smoke is cooled and filtered before you take the hit. This reduces the irritation in your throat, creating what many people find to be a much more enjoyable smoking experience. Having a dirty water pipe defeats this whole purpose.
The flagship holiday of the summer season is meant for good vibes and fun times. Get-togethers with your friends require a good smoking session, and when your water pipe is clean, you’ll be able to rip smooth and clean.
A gross, unkempt water pipe is a huge no-no when you smoke. We’ve all have been lazy with our water pipe at some point, but with our water pipe cleaning kit, there is no excuse to have a dirty water pipe. Watch this video to see the Resolutioncolo Bong & Pipe cleaner in action.
Cleaning your water pipe with our products is as simple as pouring the gel, placing the cap over the openings, shaking the water pipe, and giving it a rinse.
Don’t be the lame friend with a dirty water pipe— keep it clean, and enjoy the 4th of July the way you’re supposed to.
