Majeth Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Ice Clay Bowl? Does this work at all? Someone prey educate me...(And if this works, how does a normal bowl work then? I though the whole bowl cooked the shisha, and smoke was produced. But with that ice... mhm... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 i wouldnt think so. the temprature changes from putting the coals on, the fact that its right there at the bowl, i just feel that it wouldnt really do much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Does Ice do much anyway... really?I have popped ice into the bowl water chamber and apart from making cool noises... i can't say i noticed a huge difference in taste ect...[in a Tall Hookah]JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majeth Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 [quote]Does Ice do much anyway...[/quote]Hear, hear!I never really got any effect from ice, even though I filled the base to the rim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 The only time i ever noticed anything...saucy was the time that i put 2Litres into the freezer for about an hour and a bit. ice was forming and the water was very cold...For the first 20mins the smoke was noticbly colder. But room temp, smoke temp, soon killed that...And I can't say that having colder smoke was anything monumental :(JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PersianPride Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Yeah I got mine as a free gift with a order and cracked it the first time I filled it up and freezed it. The crappy thing is that I knew once the water turned to ice it was going to expand thats why I filled it to what I thought was only a quarter of the way up, but it stilled cracked. At least it can still be used as a spare bowl if my current one breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 hmm u got my gears turning. What about a way to keep the liquid in the base at just above freezing during the whole smoke session..... scally we need to buy out redneck engineering minds together on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entrailsgalore Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Well if you sit the base in a small bucket of ICE, the water should stay cold for the whole bowl. Or if you make a peltier cooler for a hookah base using peltier junctions that could work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majeth Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 true, true. If we shall believe my chem. teacher, water and ice have the same temp. (0 C') as long as there is ice in the water... but how to keep it that way for longer periods of time, I don't have an answer.And do anyone think that it's possible to get coloured smoke? You know, without making your lungs light up in the dark... ( just a though ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumonshoe Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Majeth: careful... i think there may be some rednecks here that will get themselves killed in search of that one. :Pj/k. i have nothing but love for EV and Scali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanguineSolitude Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 oh i just found the link for the ice clay bowl... looks like a stupid idea. with the ice that close to the coals and shisha one of two things would happen. either the cold would prevent the shisha from properly lighting, or more likely the heat from the coals would turn the water to room temperature within a few minutes of smoking, rendering the bowl useless as a smoke cooling device. what will they think of next.

Scalliwag Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 If blue balls cold is what ya want put the vase in a bucket and put fill the bucket with ice and sprinkle rocksalt on top of the ice. Put ice in the vase as well. The same way you do with a homemade ice cream maker. As long as your vase is not painted and you start off by putting ice in the vase water it will not break the vase. Unless the vase has some sort of micro crack and you theoretically could have a problem.[img]http://www.journalofantiques.com/images07/bucketfr.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macho555 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I always found ice in my vase to make a great difference. Actually, I do it everytime I smoke. I agree though, the Ice bowl is a silly idea. It just doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 what really doesn't make sense about it to me is that you are defeating the initial purpose that the shisha needs to get hot while in the bowl in order to smoke. Anything cool at that point would require more heat to offset the coolness of the bowl. So even if you could keep the bowl cool it would be inefficient. the smoke has more than enough opportunity to be cooled however much you desire within the vase. Seems like it is a novelty more than functional to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majeth Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 Their next idea migth be something in the line of a mouthtip chilled with nitroglyserin (that is the really cold stuff if I'm not mistaken. And ofcourse this mouthtip is of metal. For two obious reasons: It can be washed, and (more importantly) you will have to literaly rip your lips off when you're done smoking. " This newest within Hookah technology will really breake the ice at parties among satanic and canibalistic youngsters " Personally I just can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Normal bowls are too sensitive to thermal shocks to be practical, in my humble opinion. You like to play with salt, eh, Scali? Arrrr!!Trivia question. What temperature does salt water freeze at? You see the ocean freeze when its really cold, but salt makes ice melt...hmm. Background, when I was in school to be an engineer, I always wondered what the answer was, but not a single professor could tell me. I was a junior before I found out and in a non-related lab class. Anybody, what temperature does salt water freeze at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joetuo Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Depends on the salt content. Roughly -2 C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get most of the salt water to freeze at -18 degrees celcius; but since i couldn't freeze all the water, it was a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
