Drain the water after each session so mineral residue doesn't bake onto the base. For the full clean, use 70% isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt: plug the joints, shake for 30-60 seconds, and rinse with warm water. Avoid 90%+ isopropyl for long soaks — the coating is durable but stronger solvents left overnight can dull the iridescence. Skip the pipe-cleaning brushes with metal cores against the interior walls; a soft silicone swab or a bottle brush with nylon bristles is safer. Air-dry upside down on a towel to prevent spotting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat color will I actually receive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssorted — we ship amber, gray, or pink as stock allows. All three have the same iridescent color-shift coating, so the finish behaves identically regardless of the underlying tint. If you need a specific color, drop us a note in the order comments and we'll pull it if available, but we can't guarantee a specific pick during high-volume weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the iridescent finish the same as dichroic glass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — these are different techniques. Dichroic glass has metal oxides fused between layers and changes color with viewing angle. This beaker uses a thin-film iridescent coating applied to the outer surface, which shifts color with the light source rather than the viewing angle. Both look striking; the iridescent coating route is what keeps pieces like this accessible instead of three-digit heady-glass territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this for dabbing with a quartz banger?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can, and the 14mm female joint accepts any standard 14mm male banger. But the downstem is tuned for flower — a single slit diffuser drags more than a dedicated rig would on a dab.
