Crack is soluble in acetone. Wash your glass stem out in acetone (not nail varnish – the purer the better) and allow it to evaporate on a glass dish with large surface area. Scrape up residue and smoke. Don’t use acetone if your smoking device contains anything plastic as most if not all plastics will dissolve to some degree in acetone.
If you need to find out how to clean resin out of a pipe, and aren’t worried about smoking the resin, the easiest way is to use our favorite go to bong cleaner, 99% isopropyl alcohol and since we’re talking about flower resin and not dab reclaim, some salt. That’s how to clean resin out of a bowl. But why the salt? The salt will help give a little coarse grain action to the alcohol so it can get that cement like flower resin out of the glass pipe.
Take a baggy and put some isopropyl alcohol in it. Make sure to use the highest grade you can find, because it will have less water in it and more resin sucking ability. Put the glass pipe in the baggy, and put some salt down the mouthpiece and into the pipe. Then put some salt into the isopropyl alcohol that’s in the baggy. Seal it up and shake the shit out of that shit. The more often you do this the easier it will be to clean. Weed resin has some pretty tenacious properties when it comes to being sticky and a huge pain in the ass to clean off glass. So the less of it you have to clean off, the more you’ll love life.

For those of you looking to find information on how to scrape a bowl because you’ll be smoking the resin shortly thereafter, we’ll get into that next. But for those looking at how to just get the resin out of pipe, and not worried about smoking it right away, the isopropyl alcohol and salt tek is definitely stuff stoners like. If you use the 99% iso, and don’t use the salt, you can evaporate the alcohol later and have something interesting left over to smoke. Although if you are planning on doing that, and aren’t completely sure you got all of the alcohol out, maybe using something like ethanol might be better. You definitely don’t want smoke something that still has alcohol left in it. You are always better off scraping the pipe and bowl if you plan on smoking the resin.

So you want to know how to scrape resin? Perhaps you aren’t necessarily cleaning your pipe because it’s clogged. Maybe it’s more because you don’t have anything to smoke and could really use the buzz. I’m definitely not above smoking resin, and just like all of you, I’ve smoked more than my fair share of weed resin in my time, it’s just not something I prefer to do if I can help it. Trying to live up to Nate Dogg’s wise words and smoking weed everyday can get expensive, especially if you still live in a prohibitionist state.
If you are using a metal pipe, you won’t need to be as careful as you will need to be when scraping a glass pipe. Take care to choose your resin scraping tools so they fit the bowl and rest of the glass pipe you are cleaning. You also don’t want something that is too sharp that it scratches or even cracks the glass as you are scraping the resin out of the bowl. I’ve seen this happen many times, and it’s always sad. Until you realize how much resin was in the rest of the pipe. Then it’s party time excellent until the resin headache sets in.
Sometimes it’s also helpful to heat the tool you are scraping the resin out with. Or you can even take a few ghost rips through the pipe to get the bowl nice and warmed up. This will usually help the resin soften enough to not chip and turn into powder, but to come out in a nice poop like clump. When it’s warmed up some, that’s the best way to scrape resin.

So now that you have a clean pipe and pile of black gold, what the hell are you going to do with it? Smoke that shit of course!

The best around-the-house tool you can use is anything with wiring that you can manipulate.
A paper clip is probably your best option for a DIY resin scraper.
You can mold the clip's shape to get into the nooks and crannies.
A toothpick is also sufficient, but be careful.

Lastly, a bobby pin may also be a viable option.
Pre-Scrape Ritual
Whatever you do, try dry hitting first.
This will warm up the resin, making it easier to collect and scrape off.
Just know that this will be messy.
Resin is extremely sticky and can stain your counters and clothes.
Collect the resin that you find onto something like parchment or wax paper.
It's much easier to recollect off of these sorts of surfaces.
The Best Way to Smoke Resin
The best way to smoke this resin is to put it back where you got it in the first place.
In a bowl!
On the parchment paper, herd the resin into a mound and pick it up between your index and thumb fingers.
Lightly roll your fingers back and forth to create a resin ball.
Place this resin ball into a basin as if it were the bud it came from.
If you have a water filtration piece like a bong or bubbler, that might be an even better option than your run-of-the-mill bowl.
Resin combusts at a higher heat than bud, so smoke comes out with serious heat.
The hotter the smoke is, the harsher it is for the smoker.
Bringing water into the mix can help cool down the cloud, making it a more enjoyable experience.
