I thought the bong buddy worked pretty good and that micro mag. that worked great to clean inside the slide, I was all out of pipe cleaners, so I had no choice. I just ran it around all the goo and then rinsed it out, then I swirlled around 1 cup of hot ISO all inside the tube with the stem plugged. and then rinsed it out with hot water. and it sparkled for about one hour.

but I like the bong buddy just for those hard to reach places and for $8 i thought it was a good deal
Theres nothing better than hitting a freshly cleaned pipe

peace
I ended up cleaning like 5 pipes yestersay
I pretty much made my entire house smell like a dirty bong
