The Importance of Regularly Cleaning Water Pipes and Bongs – And How Easy METTLE Makes Doing it:

Smoking flower is never going out of style, but the myriad benefits of using a water pipe are often overshadowed by the negatives associated with maintaining and cleaning your piece/bowl. 

METTLE disassembles easily for access to the underside of the bowl. This allows smokers to simply wipe with an alcohol swab, and you’re done. No salt, no alcohol shakes, no broken glass due to poking a prodding with a paper clip. You can also put your new bowl in the dishwasher, but nothing cuts through tar like alcohol. 

Why does that matter? 

Improved Functionality:
Over time, residue and buildup accumulates within your rig no matter what you’re smoking, affecting its functionality. The accumulation of tar, ash, and other debris can clog the pipes, hindering the smooth flow of air and reducing the effectiveness of filtration. Regular cleaning helps to prevent these issues, ensuring that the device functions optimally for a more enjoyable smoking experience. METTLE’s 4-hole design acts as a built in screen, preserving the quality of your water for longer. Each of the 2mm holes allows for excellent airflow without worrying about wasted flower falling into your water chamber.

Enhanced Taste and Aroma:
Residues left behind after smoking can negatively impact the taste and aroma of your flower. Tar and old residue can bring unpleasant flavors and odors, diminishing the quality of your taste profile. Cleaning METTLE regularly helps to maintain the purity of the flower you’re using, preserving the natural flavors and aromas you paid for. 

Health and Hygiene:
Perhaps the most critical reason to clean your pieces is for the sake of your health. Bacteria can accumulate in the moist environment created in your water pipe. Because you’re inhaling smoke passing through the water, you open yourself to the possibility of inhaling the contaminants that could cause long term health problems. With the increased number of medical users entering this space, it is our responsibility to provide the cleanest experience possible. 

Studies have shown that smoke passing through water filtration does not lose a meaningful amount of THC, but that it does reduce the amount of tar inhaled. Failing to clean your pipe and bowl negates one of the top benefits of using your water pipe over rolling a blunt. 

In summary, METTLE is a small investment that turns the most annoying part of rig maintenance into a non-issue, permanently.
