New demo video after follow your suggestions
This is an engineered silicone sleeve made to fit a mason jar to very specific specifications. It is made for shaking and swirling. It has a gasket lip at top to seal it. I do have a patent. It is not just some garage idea I slapped together. I have had beta testers putting it through the paces.... It works.
I just wanted to thank everyone for taking the time to comment on my Zynpyre idea for glass cleaning. The video was in this sub last week. All of the comments were very helpful. The good and the bad ones lol. Big thank you to all of the supporters and suggestions.
I just wanted to say a few things.
I want to give a big thumbs up to all of the people in the weed community that have designed products to help us all. We have evolved because people wanted better. Hell we went from pop can bowls to metal bowls to glass pipes, to bongs with all of the diffusers and attachments, now we have vapes and dab rigs and all kinds of stuff made for us. By us. We take care of ourselves because pot heads have always been looked down on and judged. Im just trying to do my part too. I didnt make this to tell anyone they were wrong for improvising, Im just saying now we dont have to. Big shout out to Northernhigh.420 on IG, he is making some great review videos of new products for us all.
So why did I come up with my idea? Well, everyone already knows alcohol and salt work well. What no one can agree on is how to use it. Some people use ziplocks, some use cups, some use old tupperware, some use McDonalds cups lol.
Those things work.....until they dont. They were never designed for cleaning glass, or used with alcohol, or most importantly being shaken around. That means they work, but will sometimes fail and make a mess, or take forever to clean.
We all did what we had to do because nothing was ever made with us in mind. That is why I came up with this idea. Why should everyone else have products designed for them, but not us? I wanted to help fix that.
So why did we put up with it? Because we had no choice. We were forced to improvise and use our stoner ingenuity to come up with some improvised methods. But since those things are not made with us in mind, even though they are useful ideas, sometimes they fail.
Zynpyre is an idea that was made for us, by one of us. It is MADE for this. All of its components were designed specifically for cleaning dirty glass and the things a lot of us dislike about the process. I asked myself what would i like cleaning to be like? I wanted it to be easy, #1. That way I didnt dread cleaning. #2 I wanted it to be fast, I have better things to do than spend forever cleaning my piece. And #3 I didn't want to get messy, or have to clean up a mess. This design tries to address all of those.
-What are mason jars designed for? to contain without leaking. But you can't exactly shake your piece in a glass jar.
-So I added the silicone sleeve. The silicone is meant to cushion impact and protect your piece. If you can swirl it and shake it then cleaning is much faster.
-The leak-proof system makes it so you dont have to clean up any messes. All you do is dump it when youre done and rinse it with hot water and dish soap.
- I know you cant clean bongs or big rigs in here, but it WILL clean pieces up to about 6". That covers a lot. Bowls, slides, bong pieces, chillums, one-hitters, vape mouthpieces, basically anything that fits in the jar.
-The system is durable and can be used hundreds of times. After youre done, you rinse it out and you just put it away. Next time you need to clean there it is, all ready to go. Simple.
I know this isnt for everyone. I asked if you would use it, you all gave me an honest answers and i appreciate that. Im not trying to convince you. No one is wrong for doing it in their own way.
I just wanted everyone to know what i was trying to do with this idea. I know this idea isnt perfect, but it was designed specifically for us to help make our lives easier, and hopefully make cleaning into something that doesnt suck.
Zynpyre will be the company name but the product itself doesnt really have a name yet. I thought about SwirlSleeve, but idk. I appreciate any suggestions!
