Glass blunts are basically guaranteed to provide the tastiest and most convenient blunt smoking experience — but, and this is a big but — only if you clean them regularly.

How to clean a glass blunt
Regularly cleaning glass smoking devices is necessary to keep them functioning properly and to ensure the experience is as enjoyable as possible. Resin is much harder to remove when it has built up inside the piece and can severely alter the flavor of the smoke as well.
Time needed: 54 minutes.
- Prepare the glass blunt parts.Depending on the style of glass blunt you own, remove the corkscrew or plunger from the chamber and place each piece in a separate plastic bag or sealable container so that they don’t break when agitated.
- Submerge the components in rubbing alcohol. Submerge the components in rubbing alcohol and add about a teaspoon of salt to act as an abrasive.
- Seal the bag and begin shaking. The resin should start to break up and be much easier to remove. Depending on the amount of build-up, soaking the glass for 20 minutes — or up to 12 hours — may be necessary.
- Rinse the blunt thoroughly.Once completely clean, wash the glass blunt with hot water and soap to remove any remaining residue. If there is any resin sticking behind, treating the problem area with rubbing alcohol and a pipe cleaner or Q-tip will be sure to have your glass blunt sparkling.
- Dry the glass blunt completely.Make sure your glass blunt has dried completely before re-assembling it
