Is the borosilicate glass durable enough for regular use?

How to Clean Your Chili Pepper Hand Pipe
Keeping your Chili Pepper Pipe clean is easy and ensures the best-tasting sessions. A quick cleaning routine prevents resin buildup and keeps the colors looking bright. Follow these simple steps to maintain your pipe.
What supplies are needed for a quick clean?
You only need a few household items: a sealable plastic bag or container, isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher is best), and coarse salt. These items work together to dissolve and scrub away resin without damaging the glass.
- Empty Debris: Gently tap out any loose ash or debris from the bowl.
- Bag It: Place your pipe inside the sealable plastic bag.
- Add Solution: Pour in enough isopropyl alcohol to submerge the pipe, then add a tablespoon of coarse salt.
- Shake Gently: Seal the bag and shake it for 1-2 minutes. The salt acts as a gentle abrasive to scrub the inside.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Remove the pipe and rinse it well under warm water until all alcohol and salt are gone.
- Dry Completely: Let the pipe air dry completely before its next use.
What to Do Before and After Each Use
A little care before and after your sessions goes a long way in maintaining your pipe's performance and appearance.
Before You Use It (Buyer's Checklist):
- Check Material: Confirm it's borosilicate for durability.
- Inspect for Cracks: Ensure it arrived safely without any damage.
- Verify Carb Placement: Note if the carb is on the left or right side for comfort.
- Assess Bowl Size: Check if the bowl depth meets your needs.
- Rinse and Dry: It's always a good practice to give a new pipe a quick rinse with water.
After Each Use:
- Clear the Bowl: Tap out any remaining ash to prevent buildup.
- Wipe the Mouthpiece: Use a cloth or alcohol wipe for hygiene.
- Store Safely: Place it in a padded pouch or on a stable surface to prevent it from rolling.
