Soldering iron guys?

[tnrtinr]

Are your pipes NOTICABLY cleaner after using the soldering iron?

I used a glass bong yesterday that normally gets really dark brown / black resin in the downtube and significant resin accumulation in the water chamber after only a few hits with a lighter.

I had my buddy over and we smoked atleast 6 full bowls and the downtube is cleaner now then it would be after one hit with a lighter. The chamber has a really light brown resin that is nothing close to what it normally would look like.

When you plug it into the wall it is only 20W. It gets hot but doesnt glow red. It just stays warm. There is a yellow button on the side and when you push it it turns into 130W and is glowing red in 10 seconds.

Yeah - it is ceramic. You unscrew the metal tip and expose the ceremic heating element.
