Keep your glass clear

Isopropyl alcohol gets glass the cleanest. Five steps and your glass tip is ready again.

1
Let it cool and pre-rinse

First let the glass cool down completely. With the EHLE glass tip, pull out the used Kailar filter and throw it away. Then give the glass a quick rinse under warm water.

2
Soak in isopropyl alcohol

Place the glass in a small container of isopropyl alcohol, at least 90%, and leave it for about 5 to 10 minutes. This loosens the residue.

3
Brush gently

Clean inside and out with a soft brush. With the Twisted, take a look through the twisted channels from the front.

4
Rinse

Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

5
Air dry

Let it dry completely. Then the Twisted goes back into its screw-cap box.

No isopropyl alcohol at hand?

Hot water with a little mild washing-up liquid works too: soak for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

EHLE glass tip

According to the maker, you can also clean it in boiling water. Then let it cool and dry.

Isopropyl alcohol is highly flammable

Do not use it near flames or embers, keep the room well ventilated while cleaning and close the bottle tightly afterwards.

Questions about glass tips

What people want to know before their first glass tip.

Glass tip or activated carbon filter: which is better?

It’s not either-or. A glass tip is a mouthpiece made of glass: it holds its shape, is reusable and has no paper taste. An activated carbon filter can hold back certain substances from the smoke and is thrown away after smoking.

With the EHLE x Kailar glass tip you use both together: glass at the front, a Kailar filter behind it. The Twisted is a pure glass filter, with no activated carbon at all.

How do I clean my glass tip?

Best with isopropyl alcohol (at least 90%), in five steps: let the glass cool and pre-rinse it under warm water, soak it in isopropyl alcohol for 5 to 10 minutes, brush it inside and out with a soft brush, rinse with clean water and let it air dry completely. According to the maker, you can also clean the EHLE glass tip in boiling water.

Is the Kailar jar a glass filter?

No. The Kailar jar is a storage jar made of borosilicate glass with a beechwood lid, filled with 500 or 825 Kailar activated carbon filters. Once it’s empty, you can keep using it as a storage jar.

What is the screw-cap box for with the Twisted?

Every Twisted comes in its own box. Screw it shut and you can carry it without odours escaping.
