How Many Pipe Cleaners to Dry an 8oz Jar?

[Country Bladesmith]

There's a global shortage of jars right now due to millions of pinterest mom's new covid canning hobbies

This is true!

I don’t reuse Ball jars, once it’s empty it goes to Goodwill. Jars are cheap compared to tobacco, why take the chance of contamination?

Because I can't stop myself from saving pennies!

and I don't even use pipe cleaners on my pipes.. I have a few "pipe rags", they get reused.

Can you really compare lint from a pipe cleaner to that of a paper towel, if you wish to descend further, toilet paper...

Wouldn't there be more lint from pipe cleaners? I feel like we're being trolled.

Good point. And yes maybe.

Sounds like my Grandfather!?

Still, buddy.. This is a weird thread.

Depends on the brand of TP..

I was wondering how many pipe cleaners it takes you to properly dry an 8oz canning jar including lid? On average I seem to use around 9 of the standard Dill’s pipe cleaners but would like to get that number down to 6. Any thoughts or methodologies to share?

Use extra fluffy cleaners. 2 are all you need for a pint jar. Don't tell anyone else! ?

I heard they tickled.

I heard they tickled.

That's what anti-histamines are for!

I use only the best toilet paper to avoid a mid-day itch. So yeah, I guess if it comes down to it.

Damn. You guys are hardcore. I don’t smoke my pipe while on Benadryl, just seems wrong to me.

Where exactly are you placing the cleaner so that it tickles?

 

[bullet08]

I use sterilized medical swab. Nothing else will be good for my tobacco jar! By the way, how do you sanitize the tobacco? They look germy to me.

 

[verporchting]

I sanitize my tobacco with fire mostly. Works great.

Spit generously into the jar, then wipe with a Bounty paper towel, then blow vigorously into the jar to finish drying it. That'd also sterilise the jar if you've been drinking prior to.

This entire thread is the very definition of COVID boredom.....

If you get the high quality tp you can hang it to dry and reuse it
