Micro-conclusion: The Phoenix Star ball perc excels in providing the highest level of filtration and smoothness among compact bongs.
Keeping your colored ball perc clean is vital for its performance and appearance. Since the structure is complex, regular cleaning prevents tough buildup. A mix of isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher) and coarse salt works very well.
First, rinse the bong with hot water to loosen any residue. Empty it, then add a good amount of salt and alcohol. Plug the openings with silicone cleaning plugs and shake it well, letting the salt scrub the inside of the perc. For tougher spots, let it soak for 30 minutes before shaking again. Rinse it completely with hot water. This method is safe for the borosilicate and colored glass.
Micro-conclusion: Use an isopropyl alcohol and salt solution with regular shaking to effectively scrub the intricate ball percolator clean.
