Hello to anyone who has an idea on how to help me i cleaned my glass pipe with gas i cant get the taste or smell out of it

[gregmastin2]

I watched a video on Google the best and easiest way to clean a glass pipe. It said to use course salt and rubbing alcohol. I couldn't find any rubbing alcohol. I compromised and used gasoline. That was a huge mistake. What can I do to get the taste and smell of gas out of my pipe?

I know I should have. I had no alcohol and I really wanted to smoke

Clean it with Diesel.

I was gonna go with JP-4 but we don’t all live near a suitable airfield. This is me caring for the underdog.

Throw it in oven set to 275 for 20mins

But not a gas oven

Boil the bitch in water. Use an old pot.

Soak it in cider!

No.
Alcohol was a good answer. The other no-joke winner (so long as there are no zinc or aluminum parts) is the good oven cleaner.

Soak it in WD-40

Joking. Hot water and salt if you dont have rubbing alcohol. Maybe try soaking it in dishsoap overnight in the sink?

Solvents or alkali or both are necessary.
Today’s gasoline contains less volatile components that can stink for months. Typical household cleaning methods don’t quite cut it.

I get you really wanted to smoke but even using a banana while waiting to get alcohol would have been better.

Using a banana can be painful to the unpracticed.

I was going to suggest an apple

what is this recess at an elementary school?

But not a gas oven

it wouldn't matter. the flash point of those v.o.c vapors is so low it would combust way before that temp even with an open flame around.
V.O.C. composition of motor vehicle fuels and vapors,
and also there wouldn't be enough vapors to ignite since the guy tried to wash it, remove it, reduce it, scrub it all away...so we're dealing with residual at best.
but i get it, you wanted to sound safety oriented....from the looks of this thread and the giddy elementary school recess level of knowledge...im happy to see my post to actually help someone was buried

Sometimes humor helps ease anxious people...you need to laugh a little more.
Op was given more than enough real info..

One I never thought of last night...perhaps 35% food grade h202 soak?
I don't know, but it's a very heavy oxidizer.

I now have visions of you trying to light you glass pipe, after soaking it in petrol ..and *BOOM* instant Cheech and Chong comedy sketch
I'd recommend Isopropyl (factor 1), you can get it from the chemist. Just say you use it to clean tape machine heads nd need the highest purity

All these other recommendations got me thinking. I bet a 3% solution of H2So4 (hydrogen peroxide), again from the chemist, might work wonders too. That 'bubbling' effect H2So4 has, might loosen stubborn pipe gunk

Peace.
