An hour ago I was thinking about one of my Father's long time ago saying:
"That is about as useless as teats on a boar hog". I am smoking now my favourite hookah which has a chiller at the top.
I don't use the ice chamber since it melts quickly and even before it does, the effect is null & zilch.
A number of times I smoked it with ice along side another hookah of mine & no difference whatsoever. Secondly even putting water in the chamber makes it top-heavy and could tip if your kitten nudges it ! Having bought it, the round ice chamber is quite feminine as someone pointed out the hookah is in general .

the problem with the ice bucket is that it touches to little smoke...so it has to be extremely cold or it wont really effect it at all. I would try ice cubes made from salt water, or heck just freeze the ice chamber full of salt water..

I have a Syrian Chiller, and I notice a difference when I use my ice bucket. The smoke is noticeably colder, and a bit more dense. Flavor is alittle more as well, but that is more subjective.

It is by no means, a must have, but I like the option of it. The smoke is already completely non-harsh, so its not like there will be an improvement from the ice bucket there.

I will have to try the salt water ice cube thing. While my ice does tend to last through a round of coals, it's mostly melted by then. Be interesting to have it last longer.

The ice bucket is there to keep the smoke/stem from getting hot, not for cooling.

When I smoke outside on hot days without ice, the smoke is very warm because the stem gets warm from being in the heat. When I use ice in the chamber, it HELPS keep the stem from getting incredibly warm = keeps the smoke from getting hot.

It's there to prevent hot smoke/stem, not to make the smoke incredibly cold.

I also love the ice chambers b/c yes, they look bad ass!
