Remember: Some people refer to "water pipes" as "bongs", these terms are interchangeable, but we do prefer to use "water pipes".
Step 1: Gather Your Bong Cleaner and Start Prep
First and foremost, you’ll need to make sure you have what you need for a thorough cleaning. We recommend using 91-99% isopropyl alcohol for the best results. You’ll also want to grab a plastic bag, your bong, and a pair of gloves, if you’d like.
Step 2: Do a Water Rinse
Start out by doing a simple rinse of your bong with some warm water. Add some to the inside of your bong and give it a few gentle shakes to distribute the water around.
Empty the water out before you move on, then set your bong inside of the plastic bag you grabbed earlier.
Step 3: Add Some Salt and Alcohol
Place your bagged bong in the sink, then pour in your isopropyl alcohol to a point that’s about half of the usual amount of water you’d add in to smoke.
Next, add some coarse salt through the mouthpiece (the part you place your lips on to inhale) and into the bong.
Step 4: Get Shakin’
Carefully shake the salt and alcohol mixture in your bong to ensure it gets into all the nooks and crannies.
Step 5: Let it Soak
After you’ve done some shaking, allow your bong to sit and soak for around 30 minutes or so.
Step 6: Empty, Rinse, and Repeat
Step 7: Dispose of Your Bong Bag

Step 1: Prep
Place clean water into the bottom of your water pipe, making sure that the downstem is halfway submerged.
Step 2: Grind & Pack
Place your flower in a grinder and grind it to the right consistency. Then, pack the ground flower into the water pipe’s bowl.
Step 3: Light It
Place your lips at the top of the water pipe’s tube and light the flower in the bowl. Inhale gently and slowly. You’ll hear the water start to bubble and you may be able to see vapor start to fill the water pipe’s tube.
Step 4: Remove the Bowl & Inhale
Carefully remove the bowl from the carb to allow air to flow into the water pipe’s base and up into the tube. Now, all you have to do is inhale.
You can use any type of dried flower you want! CBD or THC.

Step 1: Grind
Take a small amount of cannabis flower and break it up with your hands or a grinder.
Step 2: Pack
Pack the cannabis into the bowl of the pipe. The key is to not overpack the bowl. Packing the cannabis too tightly will restrict airflow, making it harder to smoke.
Step 3: Cover the Carb
Hold the pipe in the palm of your hand and place your finger or thumb over the carb, which depending on the type of pipe you're using, will either be on the side of the end of your pipe. If you're using a one-hitter, there's no carb to cover.
Step 4: Light It
Spark your lighter close to the surface of the bowl and inhale, keeping your finger on the carb. This will draw the flame to the bowl, ignite the flower, and create the smoke to inhale through the stem.
Step 5: Inhale
Once your flower starts to combust and cherry (the hot red part), lift the flame away from the bowl. You can keep the cherry burning by covering and uncovering the carb using a tapping motion while you inhale.
Step 6: Exhale and Repeat
Exhale and repeat until you've smoked all the cannabis in the bowl.
