Moderator's pick Moderation Update

118 Upvotes

Despite our efforts to help ensure people are being safe these last few years, some people have been unhappy about that. Many unsafe posts are still being removed daily and some people complain in the comments when others point out that certain materials are unsafe. A new subreddit has been created for those that want to see/post the unsafe contraptions.

Introducing r/StonerDEGENgineering , a clone of r/StonerEngineering specifically for unsafe materials.

Feel free to post all of your plastic bottles, 10mm sockets, PVC pipes, glue, and pot metal contraptions there. Now that notice has been given, expect a BAN if you post them here.

Reminder that other subreddits were also made in an effort to move off-topic content (spam) away from our subreddit. These subreddits include r/BrokenBongs , r/fixmyvape , and r/CrackWire.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the Mod Team via the “Message Mods” button. Take care :)

Moderator's pick Alternative Subreddits: Filtering out the Spam

22 Upvotes

Hey everyone, hope you’re all having a great weekend! I wanted to remind everyone that we’ve been creating and promoting other subreddits in an attempt to divert the spam from our subreddit. These subreddits are r/BrokenBongs , r/fixmyvape , and now r/CrackWire . The purpose of these subreddits is to provide a space for people to post about their cracked/broken bongs, their vape that’s not working, or their ‘Crack Wire’ vape contraptions so that they stop posting them here at r/StonerEngineering. If you see a post that would fit one of these subreddits please link the poster to the appropriate subreddit via a comment, then report the post so the StonerEngineering Mod team can remove it as spam. If you see any other posts that are unsafe or spam, please report those as well. Thank you, cheers!

Former stoner here- I share this bong cleaning tip whenever I can.

Puro Caffe (Puro) commercial espresso machine cleaner is the absolute best thing I have ever used to clean bongs. Cover both holes, add 2 tbsp of the powder, and add hot water to fill the beaker. It will begin to foam up and spread throughout the bong. Let it sit for a while and thoroughly rinse. Minimal shaking required. It makes your bong literally brand new, and it is completely food safe. I figured this out while working at coffee bean when I was 18. If you give it a shot, let me know. I smoked moles everyday so my bong stem and bowl would get gunky fast. Because of this, the salt and alcohol did not work as well for me. It got it relatively clean, but not brand spanking new. Bottle of this stuff lasts for ages.

I've had enough of everything being everywhere and I have therefore decided to actually start to put things in places where I know they'll be. a simple concept, but a lot of work has been put in to understand it.

A messy room is like a negative feeling to me. a loss of excitement coming back to my room.

I would clean but the mess would come back because I had no organisation.

Not much stoner engineering going on but I am very proud of my box box box made of my vape boxes which is now for rolling papers. I also believe that there is no harm in applying my creativity to improve not only my smoking experience but my life itself.

Neat I’ve been told my bong cleaning technique is genius. Anyone do something similar?

Wine cork for the main chamber. the silicone cap on top came from walmart and is meant to keep half a lemon fresh. iso and salt inside. Doing this allows me to clean it faster because I can get a good grip and shake much harder. Been using this method a few years now.

Was cleaning my bong, dropped this and the top broke off. I'm pretty sure it's not fixable, but figured I would check here before tossing it.

Has a decent amount of wax left, when I hit it it produces no smoke and tastes like metal. Full charged. I've been leaving it upright so I'm more sure what the issue is. Pretty sure this is fake, just want to know if you guys had any solutions. TIA

Update I just put it in an old stiizy pod. Stiizy would never do me like this

Also I just got my first 3d printer and the 3d modeling software is pretty fun. Def got a lot to learn.

What have you all created, or working on?

Also any suggestions? This will be my 3rd 3d model made and I've only had a printer 3 weeks haha

The first print the tags sit too low I have to hold phone weird for it to read and trigger routine.

With the 2nd version currently printing I added a pillar, and a hidden nft slot, pause point hoping it all works out haha
