NIXmx Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It's been a long time since my last post, but I've decided to be more active in the community again. A friend and I recently set out to perfect the hookah experience. First we added active carbon to the in water defuser. That really cut down on the harshness (not that out smoke is harsh). The flavor was really intense with the carbon filtration. Later that week we bought the Mya cold hose. I highly suggest that hose for anyone! To top it off we purchased an ice chamber and use it to house crushed dry ice. The smoke is cold, and the flavor is amazing.

vendetta_revived Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Carbon filtration what? By the way, the flavour cannot be intense with a mya freeze hose+the ice chamber, because the cooler the smoke, the less flavourful it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epoch Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I've never noticed ice harming the flavor. -shrug- And regardless, that is certainly the coldest hookah I've ever seen. Looks like it would shatter if I touched it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But basically a 2 piece mass produced diffuser is loaded half way with active carbon used for aquariums. *Currently smoking chocolate raspberry in an old Tangiers phunnel bowl with glass mod.* [quote name='vendetta_revived' timestamp='1318873895' post='528034'] [quote name='neffertiti' timestamp='1318862069' post='528007'] [quote name='vendetta_revived' timestamp='1318852921' post='528000'] Carbon filtration what?

Therefore it will never rise and be inhaled via the bowl. We use PTFE Teflon tape on all threads (high temp). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
