I don't think my lungs would be very happy with me, if I breathed through a hookah that was that cold. Besides, it'd only a matter of minutes before the cold air in your lungs would cause you to become cold.

Fuck that childish 'liquid this,' 'dry that.' Bust out the big guns NASA style: Liquid OXYGEN. Booyahkasha!


that makes little sence because you said "liquid this" is childish yet you said "Liquid OXYGEN"

then again why not go colder. liquid hydrogen Edited by boomhauer

Meh. If you want cold, you go with liquid helium. Pretty much the coldest substance on Earth (I may be incorrect, but I dont think anyone can prove me wrong)

Was a joke...plus the "safest" of options since we CAN breathe pure O2.



I figured it was in good nature, that it was a joke.

CO2 is an asphyxiant. That is, it displaces oxygen you need to live from the mass of gas you inhale. We've evolved around our lungs working on about 21% oxygen. That being said, I think you would pass out and then start breathing again, but you could suffocate, if the conditions were right and some people might stop breathing and not start again.

Pure oxygen is extremely poisonous, ironically.

Low pressures, I think they're at like 250 torr, .33 atm. Its at higher pressures (like above 380 torr, .5 atm) that oxygen actually corrodes (burns) your lungs. Edited by Sonthert

boomhauer - are you thinking of CO (carbon monoxide)? I am pretty sure that the majority of CO2 exists as bicarbonate ion in the blood, and only a small amount is bound to hemoglobin (at a different site from O2).

Still not a good idea to inhale a lot of CO2 though.

I'd think jury-rigging a bottle like this one would work since the dry-ice would be isolated. Would be fun to try.

It will NOT KILL YOU.


Depends on how frequently you puff away. wink.gif



No, it will not kill you...it will make you sick...but it will not kill you from just smoking it from a hookah.

I will correct that previous statement, If you dont get the clue after you pass out...you deserve to die. Edited by Sonthert

i think we all agree it is bad. so could it could crack the base, carbon dioxide poisioning, freezer burn. all horable things, i don't think it would even help your smoking enjoyment. you would be inncreasing presure in the hookah, causing the regular smoke, wich is mixed with regular air to be pushed out the carb, since it is less dence then pure co2

okay, so dry ice as a chiller has been ruled out, as it is every couple months. lets review something never seriously discussed.

using dry ice where you store your shisha, like in your cabinet... so every time you go to pack a bowl some smoke rolls out of the cupboard or closet or box, making a ncie dramatic effect. that could do wonders for morale...

has anyone tried it in there base,id think the smoke would be really smooth and cool


wrong i have done it with both vodka/dryice and water/dryice. Dont try it, its like inhaling sprite. Its like little bubbles on ur lunges u get a big buzz but it aint worth it, may cuz its too cold idk but its not too much fun, but awsome in a chiller.

i dont think that is a good idea for many reasons, which are stated above, id like to add another reason.

once the dry ice starts to "melt" your gonna start building pressure in your base. if you have a purge valve or even when your not smoking. the CO2 will be forcing its way out. weather it be from your head, or or hose.

CO2 mixing with your shisha and carcoals cant be good for them. (i believe)

lolz, first post. Edited by az1z

it would be really cool to keep dry ice in your hookah bag though. its like you go to someones house and you like "lets hookah!" so you unzip the bag and *fssssshhhh* smoke comes out, and everyones like, oh shit, this hookah must be awesome.




Lol that would be awesome to throw in my hookah trunk where all my shisha is, pull the whole iron man thing with the self contained cooled beverage container.


And to everyone that is saying "you exhale C02" very good, you passed 5th grade science class, but exhaling and inhaling are much much different.
