Reddit reviews ZEN 3 Bundles Pipe Cleaners, Soft, 132 Count

Had to hold myself back from tacticooling up my AR, but I did order a pair of Gun Gloves in light beige summer weight considering I'm in South Florida. Can't wait to see how they work out.

EDIT: Couldn't help myself, bought a number of small supplies on Amazon, as well as this $13 ambi charging latch. Not quite ready to drop $60-80 on an ambi handle, this seems like a decent compromise. Anyone use this?

This may start off on a negative but read my reply in it's entirety, OK?

>Weight - Firearms are not pillows and as such take up room in or on a pack as well as add weight.

A pillow fight is not something you want to take into a fight if someone else has a weapon. There is a weight vs oportunity you need to consider.

If Yogi is going to smack you around with a pillow and take your picnic basket? OK. You can lose some food.

If a thug-takes-your-stuff or is going to shoot you? A pillow isn't going to help.

>Furthermore, firearms require ammunition which is heavy and must be kept dry.

Yep.

You can do this with a ziploc bag or some common sense. It sounds complicated but it isn't.

>You must have ammunition at hand for the gun to be useful lest it become a large paperweight.

Sure. You can learn to reload or you can learn to double-dip with your weapons... or you can thump them with a pillow.

>Guns require specialized tools to clean and maintain, further taking up space and weight in a pack.

Have you ever taken a basic class at a range? It's not hard. If you can pack a cut-down-soda-can that works as a "stove" you can pack some specialized tools.

None of this is all that special. You need some oil/grease and a rag. If you really want to get REALLY spiffy you need to justify a
"pipe-cleaner" <- This link is for 132 of them...... they work really well as hair ties if there is a girl with long hair in your group....

Are we really having this conversation?

>Unitaskers vs Multitaskers - Different types of firearms are suited for different uses; you don't hunt deer with a 9mm handgun.

Um... why not? If you're a good shot? It doesn't matter what you hunt with. I will admit that there are smaller options if you want to hunt a deer but if you take on a moose or a bear? You won't do much with a .22.

I have a feeling you are a little more than "gun shy" and you might want to hit a local range and take a class or two. There are "guns for beginners" classes that will calm you down.

Is a .22 is effective as a defensive weapon? Yes. If you want to inflict some pain and you are a good shot and are prepared for the effects of the round when it rattles around a body.

You can't just say "hunt with _ and kill a man with ____" when it comes to rounds... There are too many variables to consider.

A 9 mm is going to kill a person - most of the time. It will also disintegrate a squirrel if you hit the squirrel dead-center-mass. BUT? You can say the same thing about a Ford Focus. You can hit a person and they can die. The squirrel will be FLAT. Is a Ford Focus overkill? Probably not to most people who drive a vehicle.

Does this mean you need to switch to a golf cart as your vehcle? Nope.

You need to figure out what YOU are comfortable with.

If you are not comfortable with a weapon? Don't carry one.

>The refrain I've seen and read a lot is "if it doesn't have at least three uses, don't even pack it." A firearm has a limited number of uses, many of which can be replicated or done by other, lighter, things or by learning other skills.

A firearm has more than 3 uses..... if you don't understand that? Skip it. No worries.

Some people are comfortable with weapons and some aren't.

If you are not comfortable with a gun/weapon/rifle? Focus on other things and be OK with it.

Some of us are good with guns and some of us aren't.

To each their own. Focus on your strengths and don't focus on the "You need" that you "don't want."

case (pouch)

flower vial(s)

mlfb finishing grinder you can use a regular grinder and hold it upside down to grind finer, but the finishing grinder is beautiful and short enough to fit in my case.

edit: amazon lube

amazon pipe cleaners

case and vials above are smell safe. my every day carry is that bag with the pax, two jyarz (one for fresh one for abv), the finishing grinder, and a couple extra pipe screens in case i am a klutz.

oh also a stirring tool.

There ya go man. actually much much cheaper than I remember. 5.99 for 120, can't beat that haha.

Get you some hemp wick and zen pipe cleaners. Sucking butane from the lighter is no good and makes the bowl hit different. I get an inexpensive version off amazon along with the zen cleaning bristles

Sugar and dishwashing soap also works to clean them out but like someone earlier recommended Orange Chronic or formula 420.

Enjoy bruh!

Your math is off.

Amazon: $4.20 for 130 pipecleaners or 3.2¢ each (cut in half becomes 260 or 1.6¢ each)

Walmart: $1 for 25 pipecleaners or 4¢ each (cut in half becomes 50 or 2¢ each)

So Amazon is the winner!

traditional good old fashioned pipe cleaners. http://www.amazon.com/Bundles-Zen-Pipe-Cleaners-Count/dp/B004QKTLNC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1419455818&sr=8-3&keywords=pipe+cleaners

whoops, meant amazon, I have these and they work super well http://www.amazon.com/Zen-Bundles-Pipe-Cleaners-Count/dp/B004QKTLNC/

I had this issue once. And I fixed it. Here's how I did it:

Buy or own these:
Pipe cleaners, 70% Iso Rubbing Alcohol, maybe some Q-tips and I'm sure you have toilet paper or a paper towel.

Step 1: Pour some of that 70% rubbing alcohol into a small cup/mug/glass. Submerge your mouthpiece and screen into the rubbing alcohol. Don't put anything else in there. Don't put the PAX body in there, don't put the door in there. Let those suckers soak for about five minutes while you do Step 2. BUT don't soak them for longer than five minutes. ESPECIALLY if you're using 98% Iso alcohol for whatever reason.

Step 2: Those pipe cleaners? Yup, scrub the inside of your PAX and use as many of those things as you want until they start to look clean. This should only take you about five minutes, and your soaking process started in Step 1 should be finished.

Step 3: Prioritize your mouthpiece. Your screen can really soak in that thing all day, but it's the plastic you want to get out of there after those five minutes. Use the pipe cleaner to swab the inside of the metal tubing. Use Q-tips / toilet paper / paper towels to clean the resin off the top of the mouthpiece.

Step 4: You can rinse the mouthpiece off in the sink. Plug the drain for this and/or for when you do your screen. Make sure you rinse it thoroughly. Put it aside to dry and grab the screen. You can rub it between your thumb and index to get the gunk off (you should be able to, anyway) and rinse thoroughly. Let both pieces dry. You can blow through the mouthpiece as well to get all that unreachable stuff.

Step 5: Reassemble and you're done. You have a surplus of supplies and didn't have to spend $20 on lube or the PAX cleaning kit. Happy vaping!

Obviously, I'm not responsible for anything that happens to you or PAX by doing any of this. So be smart about it, please.
