Ice Chambers


Recommended Posts

One of my friends really wants to buy one... But I dont know.


Never really looked into them that much, just didnt seem to really interest me. I heard that the ice chambers themselves would rust and all.
I just figure that having cold water would work cheaper and more effectively then having to freeze an ice chamber which would melt considering that coals would be directly above it in the ashtray.


Seems like hype to me. Hopefully someone else can answer better.

I have the ice torrent. The bowl does rust if you leave water in it as does anything that is bare steel. I do this revolutionary thing, I whip the bowl. Nothing is sweeter then throwing a couple chunks of dry ice in your ice chamber and watch as half of your stem and your whole ice chamber is covered with frosty snow like ice. Its about the most refreshing smoke you can get. The ice torrent is a good starter hookah, my only complaint is the pull isnt as light as it should be. If you remove the ball bearing from the autoseal system it will pull just fine.

Just FYI for anyone reading this, dry ice is carbon dioxide, which isn't something you want to be breathing in. At the very least, you'll be inhaling the fumes from it instead of your hookah smoke, and asphyxiating yourself in the process. It won't kill you or anything, just make you feel like you have to cough or that you need to breathe in more air or something.

I am pretty sure with dry ice in the ice chamber the CO2 won't be inhaled. The CO2 would leak out the top of the chamber up and away from the bowl and stem. Putting dry ice in the base would be bad. Just a though never used an Ice Chamber, maybe someone that owns one could verify it.
