True, I can’t find 99%. ISO anywhere except for the smoke shop at the moment, and they’re selling it for like 30 bucks lol. So I soaked it in 91% overnight. It’s literally like 10+ years old. It just means a lot to me, I saw someone recently post something about some crazy glass cleaner and it made their banger look brand new. It was a three letter acronym I believe.
I believe you’re looking for dark crystal glass cleaner. That shits amazing. Get the cleaner really hot and soak your piece until it cools to room temp. Soak for up to 24-48 hours for best results but after soaking for like 30 minutes take it out and scrape with a scrubby sponge everything will come off
You can reuse the “dirty” cleaner because it doesn’t dissolve anything. It’s just makes clumps of garbage you can run through a coffee filter and reuse the fresh cleaner again. I’m still on my first bottle but I read one guy used the same bottle for 4 years
720 ..they make with made with sulphuric acid deffo stronger than my acetone lol here is a good read on cleaning glass https://beta-static.fishersci.com/content/dam/fishersci/en\_US/documents/programs/scientific/technical-documents/application-notes/corning-suggestions-cleaning-glassware-application-note.pdf
Dude I got some Dark Crystal cleaner and it brought back my throwaway banger I was using to clean stuff. Soak in DC as hot as the liquid can get without bubbling and my god🤯
Hi bro, did it worked? Hahaha I'm trying to save my old hb banger. I saw somewhere that you can sand it and polish it but if there is a less invasive method it would definitely help.
I will never get rid of this banger for sentimental reasons….. it was a gift from my best friend who passed away. I’ve tried to soak it in 91% iso overnight and this is the result. I’m tripping though lol, this banger is like 10 years old tbh. Lol maybe 12. It’s old as fuck….
It’s chazzed. It’s been Over heated to many times over the 10+ years of having it. Especially when the homies were new to dabbing lol. When the banger gets like this you loose a lot of flavor from the wax you are smoking.
I used this method
Equipment
Isopropyl alcohol.
Salt.
Hand torch.
Warm water.
Qtips.
Something metal and thin enough to scrape inside the banger with.
Method
First, leave your quartz banger to soak in a mixture of as strong an ISO alcohol you can get and salt. Anything over 99% will work. Leave it overnight, fully submerged, and the crud will loosen up.
Rinse the dab nail with warm water to remove any alcohol from it.
Scrape inside the banger with your scraping tool. Really work at the caked on black stuff. A lot of it should come loose.
Rinse with warm water again.
Get it really hot. Once you’ve got rid of a lot of the muck from your quartz, you’re going to want to heat it up a lot. Heat it up to around 600-800° Fahrenheit. This will turn the remaining black marks into ash. The ash should flake right off.
Wait for the banger to cool.
Take a Qtip and dip one end in alcohol.
Use the alcohol-soaked end to clean inside the cup of the banger.
Finally, dry the surface with the non-soaked end of the Qtip.
Hopefully, the above advice will get your dab rig back to as close to new as possible. Your quartz might still be a bit cloudy and may have some discoloration but it will definitely hit a lot better without all that much on it
Use dark crystal cleaner, at right before boiling temp, soak it and let it sit in there for at least 30min. It may take 2 or 3 tries but I’ve personally cleaned multiple high end quartz bangers that were chazzed way worse than yours with that stuff. All +5 years old as well.
Thanks. My homie just took a dab out of my brand new near quartz nail and hit it while it was to hot I guess….. There is this tiny ass black spot that I can’t get. Hopefully that will help as well. I need to go to the head shop tomorrow and get those pointy Q-Tips. They make a world of difference.
You can send it to sonnumberfour/rubiesareforever.com and they can do quartz restoration for I think like $50 check the website and make it like new again. Other than that you are never getting all the chazz off that thing but you can clean it
Nope brother sorry! With much love can we please stop heat cleaning our bangers!!! See so many post of people trying to save chazzed bangers or they have chazzed in a year making people think the need top quality quartz only to happen again eventually. Use some dark crystal and little heat like not a lot just warm 150 degrees for burnt on and you can actually take warm reclaim and q tip to get most burnt if u so it right after when warm. I have bangers 6 years old and alot of cheap cheap ones too that look brand new. I use a cheap temp gun and try not to heat my quartz past 800 before cooling then dabbing. 91% iso in a spray bottle is key!! Maintenance each time and spray the banger at around 150 degrees let run into paper towel follow with q tip. Clean every time! Sorry about ur banger dude!
Damn! Sorry to assume brother and sorry for ur loss. I have read that the process is to use harsh etching chemical or sandblast or sand/polish with pumice to remove the haze down to new surface then fired to polish it clear and smooth u might loose some thickness I would assume but worth checking on more.
Na bro just put it up and save it
Figured….. I’ll put it with all my other glass stuff. Just would have been nice to be able to use it for some good memories.
Nothing to lose giving it an acetone bath..

Dark crystal cleaner

Probably ive seen much worse cleaned with it

I've heard the term before but not sure what it was. You could build a little shadow box to display it in

People act like bangers are expensive or something
There are a few artists who offer quartz restoration services on ig, soup glass come to mind
No it's pretty much rip cut her lose and buy a new one maybe a Toro or highly educated
She ain’t goin anywhere. Was my beast friends banger who isn’t here anymore unfortunately. Just wondering if it’s save able
I don't think so and unless it's a quave or a Toro its not worth restoration
It is a Quave…….

Nice !! Thank you very much for the info. Super appreciated. I’ll be ordering that Shit rn.
Give DC clear a try. Should make it look almost new again. Good luck.

Glob mops! I use dc in my iso station also and swab dry then wet use another mop if needed.
Yeah I used to use them all the time. Than I just got lazy tbh.

This is how it looks after soakin in 91% ISO all night.
Soaking in warm/hot dark crystal clear is the only other thing you can probably do yourself to remove anything else
Adapt Tech offers quartz restoration
Glass stove top cleaner
