Step 1: Complete Dissection
First, completely disassemble the piece. Keep the mouthpiece, Global - Hookah main body, downstem, and glass bowl apart.
Step 2: Clean
The silicone must be allowed to air dry after being cleaned twice with warm water and a high-quality dish soap (such as Dawn).
Extreme Caution: Never use coarse salt and isopropyl alcohol (ISO) to clean silicone! A piece of Eyce brand silicone was once submerged in 99% alcohol all nite. The following day, the silicone was completely white, had a sticky surface, and began to degrade. Warm water and a little soap are the only things that can save you!
After you've completed the basic setup, the silicone material is the best hidden perk of the freezer experience. After filling it to the ideal water level, take out the glass bowl and freeze the entire silicone piece for an hour or two, or until the water within is a frozen slush.
And you know what? When you take it out, the hit is incredibly cool and smooth. To be honest, it feels like you're breathing in pure mountain air. Have you ever attempted to freeze a glass bong in that manner? That crap would break right away!
How to Check the Water Level in a Non-Transparent Silicone Bong to Avoid Splashback
The silicone's opacity is the main drawback. Drinking tainted water is nearly usually the worst outcome of haphazardly determining the water line's location.
X-Ray Flashlight Method
Press the flashlight of your phone firmly to the side or back of the silicone body at its brightest setting to obtain an accurate water reading. The majority of food-grade silicone is somewhat translucent, particularly when it comes to light or brilliant colors. The water line's shadow is clearly visible due to the intense light that is streaming through. It's almost like an x-ray! "something small trick will completely alter how you perceive something.
When filling, you can take off the glass bowl and downstem and pour water straight down the main mouthpiece or downstem hole. The ideal distance for the water line to be above the percolator holes at the bottom of the downstem is between 0.5 and 1 inch (1 to 2 cm).
Your New Survival Bible: The Dry Test (5)
Don't ignite your bowl to test it once you have confirmed the rough water line. You should perform a "Dry Test" on a regular basis to assess your performance.
Someone went camping and, unable to see in the dark tent, inflated their silicone piece excessively. A mouthful of ice-cold, resin-soaked, old-pickle-tasting bong water shot down their throat on their first pull. In front of their friends, they came dangerously close to throwing up their food! The dry test has become a vital survival guide because of that awful lesson.
Put the bowl and downstem back in order to accomplish this (don't pack any herbs yet). Don't burn anything; just forcibly suck down using a regular breath or perhaps a little harder than you're used to. Listen and feel to determine your water level:
The air will sound dry and empty if there is little water. The hit will be extremely hot and unpleasant on your throat because the smoke won't filter completely.
Too Much Water: You will have a high drag resistance and a deluge if you pull too hard. You have undoubtedly added too much if you pull and the dirty water shoots up to give you a horrible "little kiss" on your lips. Now pour a little out!
It should be bubbling like a contented fish tank. It's the ideal state. When your lips are entirely dry after a forceful pull and the water at the bottom emits a fine, steady, continuous, low-profile rolling bubble sound, you know the water level is correct.
