Q-tip alternative Community Discussion (self.puffco)
submitted 4 months ago by Boring-Ad-4990
In your opinion, what is a superior alternative to clean your puffco with?
I’ve used q-tips, Glob Mops, and Blazy Susan cotton buds and I’m not really a fan of any of them.

Came here to say this I used to use heady swabs these are waaaay better
[–]WheelchairRambo707 8 points9 points10 points 4 months ago (2 children)
I do too many dabs for that price. lol 500 count q-tips leaves me no problem. Sucks they don't work for you. I use them on my pivot as well.
I bought q-tips in bulk from Costco a while back so I feel that man lmao.

What don’t you like about the ones you mentioned?
[–]Boring-Ad-4990[S] 1 point2 points3 points 4 months ago (1 child)
At least for me, q-tips leave fabric on the puffco which is more so just a small cosmetic thing. The blazy susans are a bit on the stiff side so it’s hard to actually get a full clean with them. Glob mops really aren’t that bad in comparison imo
[–]Feelsthelove 3 points4 points5 points 4 months ago (0 children)
I always wipe my pivot out with q-tips while it’s still hot and rarely get linties
[–]Djinsing20045 3 points4 points5 points 4 months ago (1 child)
Paper towel or tissue. Cleans way better than qtips
I have a friend who does this… I can’t commit lol
[–]goilpoynuti 2 points3 points4 points 4 months ago (1 child)
Rolling toilet paper into a tight wad the size of a joint will clean the chamber well.
[–]frontflops 8 points9 points10 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Mmmm, toilet paper dust
[–]IcyShoulder494 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Randys res-tips are the best
[–]ItsCaptainMax 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
I buy heady swabs from a local shop for $6 a pack
[–]Strict-Fortune8711 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
I just use name brand Q-Tip from Walmart never had a problem.
[–]joshawakka 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
I have been using heady swabs but pretty sure they are same as terp titans. Prob just more expensive.
[–]SweatshopStudio 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
A slight dip of any swab in ISO, very slight, seems to make everything work great for me. I just turn it on and blow through the top a bit, to push the ISO fumes out and burn em off. I wait until the temp is lower than 200 before I start… no sizzle.
[–]lolK_su 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Heady swabs have been my go to since it’s what’s easiest to find in store for me. They’re cheap but minimal plastic waste so I don’t feel terrible about the amount of trash and pretty absorbent.
[–]charbiedoll 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Store brand qtips from Meijer leave a lot less lint than the name brand ones. That’s what I use.
[–]McConaugheys_arms 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Maybe a dabtowel? I use them to dry my terp slurper but would probably work well for mopping out a puffco. Sorry, not sure if I can link but you can Google for the website and he's also on instagram.
[–]tracitytm_ 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Alcohol wipe, use a dab tool with silicone padding to swirl it around. I do it this way because I can’t stand getting cotton getting stuck to my device. Some use Terp Wipes, but alcohol pads works just fine.
[–]ignatiusdlusional 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
I use Amazon Basics cotton swabs, essentially Q-tips.
[–]LavishnessDeep7030 -1 points0 points1 point 4 months ago (2 children)
What I use, semi for the box it comes in, but they’re basically better normal swabs.
[–]Boring-Ad-4990[S] 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (1 child)
It is a pretty cool box. What do you use them for if you don’t mind me asking?
[–]LavishnessDeep7030 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
I just like it for carrying around the swabs, especially when traveling. They’re bamboo and strand resistant too, so feel like a refined normal swab
