Do you think ice in a bong really cools the smoke?

course it cools the smoke...although i've always felt that ice in the bong water does the job better than an ice twist thingy.

Hey, you beat me to it!

Image is 100% correct. Hot water is just as smooth, almost like smoking a bowl in a steamy shower...

And...

Maximum conservation on one's fine erb, ice wastes THC

Have you all heard of ice extraction to make hash? One can even make hash without ice, simply cold water extraction.

So when the objective is to breathe in smoke with lots of THC in it, having cold water or ice in the bong is counterproductive.

However, HOT water does not cause the vapors to condense, and one receives more bang for his or her buck!

Wrong, after herb is burnt it is not like extracting hash in a gumby/Ice-olator method, putting hot water is a big no-no especialy if your putting ice in an ice catcher and hott water into a glass peiece. The temerature differance along with the romm tem can make your nice bong break. I saw this happen last night with a friends nice roor, he paid about $600 for it had 2 percs a difuser and and ice catcher, I told him not to do it cause the thought of it was stuipid in the first place. But it was his peoice and he did it we went out side where it was about 20 deg F. and the bottm half cracked. I make glass on glass bongs so it is an easy fix, but right now I am not blowing so he will have too wait. I told him not too, only when you have a sore throght or a cold do you fill the bong with warm water and no ice

I do not believe I nor Image meant to suggest using hot water and ice in the same bong. And yes, it is not wise to take a bong with hot water out in 20 degree F weather.

Use HOT water in your bong, indoors, and get more bang for your buck!

well the lighter was able to HEAT it in just a few seconds, the ice helps, believe me
