However, reserve scraping only for glass pipes and bongs. You can use paper clips or bobby pins because they are thin enough and can bend into a shape to help you reach some of those tough spots. Use a lighter to help you soften the gunk, but be careful not to overheat the device as you might burn yourself. Using a non-stick parchment paper to gather the resin is the best choice. Another word of caution — do not use rubbing alcohol to remove resin if you intend to smoke it later.
Isopropyl alcohol is not made for human consumption and may not be safe. You may be surprised to hear that there are actually many ways you can smoke resin. Take a lighter and apply heat on the outer surface of the pipe or bong or bubbler to vaporize the resin. Simple, right? Not so fast, though. You should be very careful with the heat. The mouthpiece can also get hot, so check on its temperature before you bring it to your lips. To smoke weed resin with a bong, you will need to scrape the resin off first.
Using your tool of choice, scrape it off and collect it all in one place. The alcohol will dissolve the resin off the pipe or bowl, then let the alcohol evaporate and collect the resin that remains.
This is a rudimentary form of extraction—the isopropyl alcohol acts as a solvent. After collecting the resin, smoke it directly in a pipe or sprinkle it on top of some flower in a bowl. Most people smoke it by itself because of its harsh flavor, so as not to ruin the flavor of anything else. Additionally, the smoke is thick and harsh so it can quickly irritate your throat and lungs, and since it takes more heat to smoke resin you can end up burning your hand as well as your mouth and throat.
Smoking resin is bad for your long-term health. A major component of resin is tar — the same stuff that makes cigarettes so bad for you.
It can give you a bad headache, too. Resin smoke smells and tastes nasty. Johnny Baldwin posts 0 comments. You might also like More from author.

But it's probably worth waiting until you get some more flower or concentrate, rather than smoking something with minimal THC content that's also worse for your lungs. Place your pipe or bowl in a sealable plastic bag and fill it with rubbing alcohol until the entire piece is submerged. Add a teaspoon of table salt sodium chloride or Epsom salt magnesium sulfate , either of which will act as a scrubber or sponge for the resin.
Leave the pipe or bowl to soak in the bag for about 12 hours, giving the alcohol enough time to dissolve the resin. Rubbing alcohol is also a fast and effective method for removing resin from your hands. Rubbing your fingers with vegetable or olive oil may also safely remove resin and be more gentle on your skin.
Leftover resin does not contain very much THC. Instead, the sticky resin that builds up in your pipes, bowls, vaporizers, and bongs is mostly tar, ash, and carbon — all by-products of the combustion process. Ultimately, leftover resin does contain some THC, and you might even feel a little bit high after smoking it, but compared to flower and concentrates, the leftover resin is very low in THC and the health risks outweigh the benefits.
Yes, it's possible to consume pipe resin using a vaporizer. However, similar to smoking resin, you're unlikely to get a sufficient amount of cannabinoids and terpenes. Putting resin in your vaporizer may also gunk it up and negatively impact the smell and taste of your vape hits.
