Any tips on cleaning recyclers/incyclers? I have trouble even getting used water out of my incycler, never mind everclear along with reclaim globs...

Picture of the piece in question? Kleins can be a little tough, but you just have to make your liquids flow in the correct manner to get everything out. I usually don't look to collect my reclaim so I usually go with ISO to clean. ISO goes in, I run the piece under extremely hot water to help break down the reclaim and dissolve into the ISO. Once you've go the walls clean of reclaim you need to move all that liquid to the upper chamber so turn the piece and let all the liquid flow through the uptake arm(s) and then out the mouthpiece. It may take a few tries to get mostly everything out. Once you've got it mostly empty a few drops of dish detergent and then fill with super hot water and shake vigorously. Get it all sudsy inside and then flush repeatedly with hot water until the suds subside. Now empty the water in the same manner as you emptied the ISO. It may take some more vigorous shaking to get out the last few drops.

Thanks for your detailed reply! Here is a video of the Klein I'm trying to clean (I have the same one without the honey bucket and it's clear glass.) The toughest part is trying to shake all of the water/iso out of the piece because of the grooves in the glass near the Maria mouthpiece. I guess it's a matter of shaking it all out and being careful not to drop the glass with wet hands.

I twist the corner of a paper towel and push it into the Marias to soak up the excess held within.

I've noticed you primarily dab bro, do you use ISO.instead of PBW because the dab residual build up its more stubborn? I've noticed after dabbing through a piece exclusively it sometimes won't come clean with PBW only ISO

I usually just use ISO. Sometimes a bit or coarse salt as well. I use PBW on my flower pieces because it does a better job getting the grunge off for me when there's particulate in their as compared to just reclaim.

Oxyclean does a great job on recyclers. I had always used iso and salt in the past but there are just too many crevices with a recycler.

An inch too small!? I hate when they do that! These glass blowers do know we are paying for this stuff right!?

And why exactly is that unreasonable? If you ask someone to make something a specific size and they say they can why shouldn't the expectation be that it be that size? This artist also uses a lathe so he should be able to get very specific. In fact he was able to get so specific that it is EXACTLY one inch smaller than requested.


how tall is it supposed to be?

It is supposed to be 5.5 inches. It's 4.5 inches. The smaller size and perc type, in my opinion, restrict airflow and recycling to much.

I see, and agree with ya...

If it was the difference between 15 and 16 inches that would be one thing, but when working on such a small scale a single inch is about 20% difference in volume.

@Deadshort480 You picked that up?!?

YES!

I recently saw that piece on LGA's IG page and was pleased.
Fucking amazing action between those Jesus Seal ups / and the down funnels.

Thank you on your advice RE: the purchase of my LGA Mini-Hourglass-Recycler; very pleased.

... And your collection is literally out of fucking control!

:bowdown:

@Deadshort480 your collection appears to be reaching magnitudes of @PhotoRider! Haven't seen him here in awhile. I hope all is well with him
Phil has been semi active on Instagram. Phil is the motivation and inspiration for me to keep adding to the collection. The man has impeccable taste in glass.

Edit: Shit, now that you mention it, Phil hasn't been active on IG for a few months. I hope everything is okay too.

Been trying to get my hands on a Dutch Pump for over a year. Mr. Culbert makes an awesome rig, but damn they're hard to get your hands on.
