I don't think thats bad in fact that is the purpose of ice, it is a miss conception that ice just cools the smoke, when their is a temperature difference of that extreme the environment makes stuff like tar and other things that are in the water like calcium stick tho the ice and the bong. 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.

And yes there are many bongs in that price range, Glass is a big art form and will always be.

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.
