I love it when a new product comes along that\u2019s been designed with the core function to make life better, easier and\u00a0cleaner. A product that makes me say, \u201cWow, I need that.\u201d The truly revolutionary Ciro bong cleaner is one such item. The first-of-its-kind countertop appliance is the healthiest, most sustainable way to clean your pipes, bongs, grinder and trimming scissors by removing all the sticky resin using sonic waves\u2014and in under 15 minutes without harmful and expensive chemicals.<\/p>\n
Derivative of the Latin word for circle, the Ciro glass cleaner<\/a> is the brainchild of two Emerald Triangle-based women, Laura Costa and Cara Cordoni.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Ciro comes from the heart of Humboldt County,\u201d Costa says. \u201cIn addition to being great farmers, we\u2019re also engineers, architects and artists.\u201d<\/p>\n By harnessing industrial ultrasonic cleaning technology, the Ciro cleans the dirtiest bongs, pipes and other cannabis accessories and apparatus such as scissors and metal grinders. And it does so without using any nasty chemicals in a few minutes.<\/p>\n According to Costa, the sonic energy creates \u201ccavitation,\u201d tiny bubbles that explode against the resin, blasting it off the surface material and eliminating the need for solvents or other chemicals.\u00a0<\/p>\n The device is unique because the product\u2019s design doesn\u2019t require the bong to be submerged. Instead, it only needs to be filled with water.\u00a0The Ciro\u2019s six-inch base fits most bongs and if you want to clean dirty pipes, grinders or other accessories, simply pop them in a glass of water and place it in the Ciro. Adding a few drops of biodegradable dishwashing liquid emulsifies the resin, making for easy cleanup.<\/p>\n \u201cThe cannabis industry is loaded with waste,\u201d Costa says. \u201cOne Ciro is about the same cost as about a dozen bottles of cleaner that you\u2019ll never have to buy again. We\u2019re very proud that we created something that eliminates a lot of single-use plastic and toxic chemicals from the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n The Full Flavor:<\/strong> Getting the full taste of the terpene profiles is one of the highlights of smoking cannabis. If you\u2019re using a dirty bong containing stagnant bong water, you\u2019re doing yourself and the flower a disservice. \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t drink wine from a dirty glass,\u201d Cordoni says. \u201cSo why would you smoke weed from a dirty bong?\u201d<\/p>\n Reduced Respiratory Risks:<\/strong>\u00a0Smoking out of dirty bongs and pipes isn\u2019t just bad for the taste of your flower; it potentially poses health risks, too. Gross stagnant bong water is a haven for bacteria and other microbes that latch onto the gas and resin found inside your bong. Resin-encrusted bongs are a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and pathogens. Smoking with them can lead to illnesses like strep throat and pneumonia.<\/p>\n Easy Cleanup:\u00a0<\/strong>Cleaning bongs can be complicated and time-consuming, not to mention damn near impossible if you have dexterity issues. The sleek hands-free design of the Ciro makes it super easy to use, especially for patients and disabled users who often struggle to maintain the level of cleanliness that they deserve with traditional methods.<\/p>\n Environmentally Conscious Engineering:<\/strong> As well as eliminating toxic chemicals and reducing the need for single-use plastic, the Ciro is also engineered for performance and durability and includes a lifetime warranty. Costa and Cordoni developed a circular business model that will repair or reclaim products at end-of-life.<\/p>\n The Ciro was born out of a two-fold need: a way to clean cannabis smoking apparatus and support her family as they worked through farming bureaucracy, Costa says.<\/p>\n \u201cMany small farmers in the Emerald Triangle didn\u2019t make it through the oppressive red tape and permitting costs of legalization after Prop 64,\u201d Costa says. \u201cMany farmers and their families had to pivot and find other ways to provide for their families.\u201d<\/p>\n Costa is a skilled electrical engineer who spent part of her 20s rewiring airports in the South Pacific. She\u2019s married to a legacy farmer and has spent years overseeing trim crews, tinkering with inventive ways to clean resinous apparatus. Costa built the first Ciro prototype using a thrift store cake pan as Exhibit A to her resourcefulness.<\/p>\n Cordoni is a San Francisco native and accomplished business builder, managing and coaching teams at various Fortune 500 companies and cannabis startups. Her passion for nurturing cradle-to-cradle product development extends into developing profitable businesses that prioritize protecting people and the environment.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re proud of what we\u2019ve accomplished with Ciro,\u201d Costa says. \u201cWe have the potential to provide a less wasteful and healthier cleaning and consumption experience for the cannabis community.\u201d<\/p>\n To see the Ciro in action, visit @ciro_humboldt.<\/p>\n The post Ciro Makes Cleaning Bongs a Breeze<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
