I filled my red acrylic bong with crushed ice and placed it in the deep-freeze for six hours. Three university friends came over, and we smoked 4g of it over about 4 hours. Moderate smokers, we were suprised at our ability to take monster hits, as the smoke felt like cool vapor; even smoother than a menthol cigarette. What do you guys think? Give it a shot (even an hour would do wonders) and tell me what you think
hell fukin yea ima try that...that sounds bad ass....did you hear about this from somewhere or just thought of it out of your head??? cuz it sounds like a pretty bad ass idea....
Hell yeah, I thought it up, man. I was like, why in the fuck hasn't anyone ever stuck their bong in the freezer and cool everything off instead of getting it wet as hell with condensation. That shit stayed frozen for hours, my friend.
Sounds like a pretty good idea..I've thrown ice cubes in the bong water a couple times to cool it down but it's no real significant difference. Question, you let the water thaw out before you hit or get some heat on it to melt it up a bit when you're ready to go?
ill have to give that a try
you dont put any water in it?
i have put my bong in thre freezer meny times its wonderful
works for bubblers too
No, I didn't put any water in it. The smoke barely had an odor, was ice-cold and felt more like vapor. The crushed ice froze into place, so water would have been difficult to put in, and it's not like it would improve the already amazing results. In fact, it would have melted the ice faster and lead to greater condensation.
Also, Clow Dee, Bub's are glass, which explodes under extreme temps. Might you be mistaken, or just tempting fate. Glass in the ice tray sounds like fun, tho!
so u didnt have water? i wud put a few ie cubes in then put it in the freezer, i will try this!
I didn't try cubed, but crushed ice seems to work pretty fucking good. This wasn't about filtering the weed, but cooling it down. If cooling is most important, then forgoing water is quite beneficial.
Yea been doin it for about 10 years.
Same thing with bt bottles and tubes for smokin honey oil 'bbq style'
Damn, man, I'm gonna have to try that!
On a side note, you know how they make those drink mugs with the side walls filled with water, so you can freeze the mugs themselves to make your drink cold?
They need to make a bong like that, with all sorts of tubes criscrossing the chamber as well. Just put the thing in the freezer a few hours before your session, and you're good to go!
how would smoke go through the ice in the bong tho?
....so make a patnet and make a million dollars...if you don't i willl you got one year and i'm serous too ....if i don't see it with a patent in a eyar i'm makin it
Q:"how would smoke go through the ice in the bong tho?"
a:
Its not frozen solid, more like slush
Yes, Oh god yes; a Happy customer
No, it becomes frozen solid, but because of the crushed and chipped ice, it freezes into an uneven mass with room to let the smoke escape.
Why doesn't it smell from the cold temp?
...well i know this from phsycics and shyt (didn't take a class i just have a real good natural understand to it) i would guess that the coldness woudln't let the particles flow as easily therefore reducing the smell of it.....that would be my only guess...and the best guess since weed is better smelled (in my own experiences) in wamer tempatures......ie. i can smell the neighbor smoking weed all the time durring sumer but can't smell shyt once winter hits....
Physics:
The coolness condenses the smoke, basically concentrating it. You can suck in a whole lot more smoke that non-cooled smoke. It expands from it's condensed state in your lungs, instead of harshing your throat all the way down. Throw your bowl in the freezer every now and then, that's good too.
It's actually best to tip the bong up when you are clearing it (when doing the ice idea). Some of the condensed smoke will be heavier than the lower pressure air and sit in the bottom of the bong... just give er a tippin and it will flow with a viscocity similar to water
dont do this with glass, itl shatter though. I almost did it, and then Im like fuck, bad idea. but acrylic would work well. and there is ice bongs with water and then the stem twists so you can put ice cubes in it
Acrylic is the only way to fly, man. But, theoretically speaking, most bubs are made from thin, cheap glass. If you've got a PYREX, however, it may be freezable without risk.
My friend made this one for me, and she said they're like 35 bucks. I wouldn't pay for it, but it does work quite well. And the stem was only so big, that ice must have done a great fucking job of cutting the harshness down to nothing. I wish there was a way to smoke cool misty vapor like a J. Vaporizers aern't traditional smoking, so this felt like it had absolutely no pain, and I took monster fucking rips.
well i'm g uessing this dude just said i'm wrong but i am drunk and said i am not sure (atelast meant to if i didn't) so yea listen to him ......Quote:

Hmm... doesn't smell as strong, eh? Seems like maybe the smoke was cool and dense enough that it was denser than air and just tended to hug the ground a bit more than normal rather than diffusing into the air like the sweet perfume it is.
As to the whole expanding in your lungs thing, that seems kinda sketch. More likely, it doesn't hurt as much because YOU'RE NOT INHALING THREE HUNDRED DEGREE BURNING ASH AND TAR like you are with a pipe; thus, ice hits tend to be a lot less irritating.
I was just fucking with you, psycho. Glad people like the thread.
I've been leaving the bong in the freezer all the time now, so, whenever I want to hit it, it's ready. It's really helped out of lung capability.
This is something that, oddly enough, I hadn't thought of doing. I filled my bong with crushed ice this morning and stuck it in the coldest part of the freezer before I left for work. By the time I got back, it was frozen pretty nicely, and the bowl had a beautiful frost on it. I didn't bother to pour any water into it becuase I was afraid that it would freeze into a block, thus preventing a good draw, so I just hit it as is, and it was so smooth that it makes menthol taste like car exhaust! I've seldom taken hits this big without my face turning red and my lungs nearly exploding. Shit, 1e64, thanks for this thread. Works like a charm. When my father gets home from teaching his summer course, he'll have to try it out!
what i do, is make the inside wet, by filling with water and swishing around then emptying it. and i put in the freezer for like 30 minutes, and when i take it out it's all frosty like its so cold its hurts to hold it. then i fill with crushed ice and cold water.
that's fucking amazing! I never thought of that. Gonna try it tonight.
wow what a great idea cant wait to try it
