Welcome, pipe enthusiasts! Whether you're new to the world of ceramic pipes or a seasoned collector, one thing remains constant — the importance of proper care to ensure your prized possession lasts a lifetime. In this comprehensive guide, we will take you through the essential steps to maintain your Ancient Creations Ceramic Pipe.
Why Ceramic Pipes?
Ceramic pipes have a rich history, dating back centuries. Known for their durability and heat resistance, ceramic pipes offer a unique smoking experience that many enthusiasts swear by. To preserve the beauty and functionality of your investment, let's delve into the best practices for ceramic pipe care.
Cleaning Your Ceramic Pipe
Regular cleaning is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your ceramic pipe. Here's a simple step-by-step guide:
Disassembly: Carefully disassemble your pipe by removing the bowl, stem, screen, and any other detachable parts.
Soaking: For big pieces, like our water pipes and hookahs, remove all parts and submerge them in a solution of 91% isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Then fill the piece up to the holes with the same solution, and let soak for at least 30 minutes, agitating/shaking occasionally, to loosen any residue. For our hand pipes, smoke stones, bats, and chillums, simply submerge and soak as outlined above.
Scrubbing: Use a pipe cleaner or cotton swab to gently scrub the interior of the bowl and stem. Avoid using abrasive materials that can scratch the ceramic.
Rinsing: Thoroughly rinse the components with warm water to remove any last residues.
Drying: Allow the parts to air dry before reassembling your ceramic pipe.
Maintenance Tips
To keep your Ancient Creations Ceramic Pipe in top condition, consider these additional maintenance tips:
Avoid Dropping: Ceramic pipes are durable but can crack if dropped on hard surfaces. Handle your pipe with care.
Storage: Store your pipe in a protective case or pouch to prevent dust accumulation and accidental damage.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Ceramic pipes can withstand high temperatures, but extreme changes in temperature can lead to cracking. Keep your pipe in a stable environment.
