Dry Ice


Recommended Posts

[size="2"][color="#0000ff"]Has anyone ever put a tiny bit of Dry Ice in the vase during a session?
A friend told me he does this and it keeps the water cooler longer and looks awesome. But wouldn't that cause too much pressure of some sort? explode the vase? And isn't that kind of dangerous? [/color][/size]

pretty sure your friend is lying or extremely exaggerating...

considering that the body is designed to expel carbon dioxide and not intake it, breathing in a fairly concentrated amount for a few hours would most likely lead to hypercapnia...

From Wikipedia: Hypercapnia can induce increased cardiac output, an elevation in arterial blood pressure, and a propensity toward arrhythmias.In severe hypercapnia (generally PaCO[sub]2[/sub] greater than 10 kPa or 75 mmHg), symptomatology progresses to disorientation, panic, hyperventilation, convulsions, unconsciousness, and eventually death....

Listen to this guy, putting inhaling the vapor from dry ice is an extremely bad idea.
I was going to say the same thing Jay did, but he beat me to it.

Dry ice would be okay only in the chiller bucket. Putting it in the vase is asking for trouble. Have you ever opened a bottle of soda and inhaled the vapors that immediately come out? Remember the choking sensation? That's what you'll get if you put dry ice in the vase. Edited by noodle

It's easy to do that if you try to take a sip immediately after you open it.

LOL.. ok thanks guys. That was kinda my thinking too. I figured it is possible that it could blow your vase up or something. Idiot probbly is a noob to hookah and trying to show off how cool he is.
I know my brother used to use Dry Ice at the Vet to put animals to sleep, so I figured it had to be a dangerous game either way. Not worth the " looking cool" part... when you end up " looking dead" instead.:blink:

I wonder if fog would pour out of the hose and purge? There's only so much air pressure that will hold in the vase.
