my friend actually had one about a year ago before it was confinscated. but it was pretty cool. i dont know about freezing it, seeing as glass is such a strange substance when it comes to the extremes of both sides of temperature. though i wouldnt hesitate to put it in the fridge part for maybe 5-10 minutes before smoking though. i mean, you can keep bongs and the such in the fridge or chill them in the freezer to get the water colder if you wanted.
and speaking of that, if you made a bong, and put salt water in it, and then put it in the freezer it wouldnt freeze, it would just get really cold, then you could smoke, i dont think the salt would give the smoke a bad flavor or anything. dont forget the Hot water bong too peoples.
i was always partial to putting ice cubes in the bong.
I think it's all in peole's head. If you're smoking weak bud, then I don't care how you smoke it, you're only gonna get so high. I smoke a bowl out of a regular pipe of some kill, and I'm fucked up off that one bowl.
I don't think freezing or whatever is gonna be better.:thumbsup:
It's not supposed to make your high any stronger; instead, make smoking it a different experience. These is definitely a difference smoking out of a bong with warm water vs ice cold water (I love warm water bongs, much more friendly on the lungs!). Think of it in terms of when you're running outside- in colder weather, the air is much more harsher on the lungs than if you're jogging in more temperate weather.Quote:

I like the cold air more than warm air, it feels... fresh i guess;)
The bad thing about ice bongs is the ice catches suspended resin/oil/smoke etc thats why the ice looks like it has boogers and shit all over it after a few hits. The idea I heard behind cold water bongs not freezing but damn close is the colder water can absorb and redistribute oxygen atoms better..I guess it cleans better or helps hold your hit longer etc..dont know if I buy this claim but its possible....either way your bound to end up:stoned:
You obviously don't snowboard. One run down the mountain and you don't care how cold the air is. A wise man once said cold wind, pumping adrenaline and heavy breathing always will bring you back to center.Quote:

And that is the purpose of a bong, to filter that stuff out. Another misconception is bongs are easy, well they are but you have to keep them clean. I clean mine about 2 times a week and that makes every hit taste like the first. I do know people who will clean the bong after one or 2 hits or one smoke session, but that is mostly because of keeping there nice 5,000 bong in pristine condition.Quote:

and actually 2 times a week is not enough for my inline which is now my daily toker, so lately 3 times a week minimum
but having an ice catcher is definitely a little more work, it offers allot more and that is the way I look at it, I do have a GonG with an ice catcher but lately it just looks purty because of the hits that come out of my inline, glass design is everything.
lol tangent there is no reason to cool your bowl, think about it that is the part that is going to be on fire, why cool it, you are thinking about the cool tube that illadelph makes, they are filled with a glycol gel that does not freeze and gets very cold, however your gonna pay about 900 buck minimum.
