I have a small glass chillum, and the problem is it's so short with no carb that the smoke is extremely harsh. At least, moreso than I'm used to. Any ideas on cooling methods? I figure sticking it in the freezer will work, but does anyone have any semi-permanent solutions or tips?

Not really a tip but if its to hot and harsh why not just roll a joint or get a bong?

I would advise freezing your bowl. If you bring a direct flame up to it, it may crack from the sudden change in temperature.

well if it had a carb and chamber i'd say let the smoke sit in the chamber for a sec

Put it in the fridge for about 10 minutes, dont freeze it becuase like Rapmaster said it will shatter FOR SURE if you change the temp that rapidly. also its a chillum right? so what i do with chillums is bend a coat hanger (or long paper clip) and make a little handle type thing

My post should read "I advise AGAINST freezing your bowl". I just realized that

Matter of technique.

Pull your tongue up a bit when you take a hit so ash and some of the heat is absorbed before the smoke gets to your throat. And also hold the smoke in your mouth before inhaling all the way to cool it down a bit.

You could do any of the things that were just mentioned or you could try making some sort of extension/filter device of you dont mind looking like a complete fool and possibly loosing like 1/2 a % of THC. But yea, deff. dont freeze your piece if its glass, if its metal or wood throw that fucker in the freezer not that i think that will give any truly significant change to the smoke. make a bong if youre desperat for cool smoke. Peace

I really want to get a nice glass one but for now my bong and my one hitter are fine.
