im confused...so are u saying only smoke the stuff built up in the stem? and leave all that sticky tar type stuff in the actual bowl part? good gravy im such a noob sometimes........i can spend up to 2 hours cleaning out a bowl, dont smoke the black crusty stuff where you put the weed in. get a close pin and just pick at the inside of the bowl trying to pull the resin out of one of the various holes. without a pic of your piece thats all i can say. Keep trying till you get the hang of it.
this method works like a charm! first time i scraped my piece i unfolded a paper clip and just scrapped along everywhere and held the mouthpiece side down, shook it a bit and tons of resin came out. bunches of clumps, like 4 fat balls all together. only smoked out the piece like... 40ish times too.i can spend up to 2 hours cleaning out a bowl, dont smoke the black crusty stuff where you put the weed in. get a close pin and just pick at the inside of the bowl trying to pull the resin out of one of the various holes. without a pic of your piece thats all i can say.

then you have not lived my friend.. smoking dirty resin balls is like smoking bubblehash,,, and it gets you rocked!that stuff in your pipe is dirty it is full of ash, pocket stuff and alot of other stuff ..
