OBXSurfer Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I have heard and tested once---putting ice water and ice cubes in the hookah base and also putting the hookah hose in the freezer before use. Does anyone think this works better...gives a thicker draw, etc? -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I don'tknow about a thicker draw, but it sure as hell makes things smooth and cold. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanguineSolitude Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 only difference for me is cooler smoke which can be nice. oftentimes i dont bother with ice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 It does make a thicker smoke, as it condences the glycerin making the smoke thicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web250 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I use really cold water, because I cant always fit ice cubes into my QT's base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASUSEAN1 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 i jus fill up my base and put it in the freezer for about an hour, that way the water is ice cold and there is a layer of ice forming on the top tht melts as a pack the bowl.

worr lord Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I've never noticed it giving thicker smoke, but as said above, it can be a good bit cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Any update on that solid pudding? >_> Has anyone tried that freezing a small amount of water in the hose thing? I was always leary of doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angemonkwj Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 QUOTE (moosepotatoes)What would happen with Hot water? i have a feeling it would be like when u take a hot glass out of the dishwasher and put something cold in it.....breakage!!!!!

imonlyapuppet Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I think he meant, how would a hookah smoke using hot water instead of cold, not what would it be like to put something that is hot into a cold environment. Cold smoke feels nice going down the throat, but from what I hear, it constricts the vessels in your throat. Lukewarm water is where it's at.

imonlyapuppet Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Plus, ice and sticking everything in the freezer is too much work. I just turn the faucet on the coldest setting and it works out well enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholae Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 usually we put it in the freezer after we fill it up. then we pack the bowl by the time we get done packing the bowl the base and water is cold enough to provide a nice decent smoke for around 30 min.. as for the water in the hose idea... ive tried it .. you have to be very careful about how much water you put in it... i only use my plastic washable hose. it helps cool the smoke down but after awhile you have to drain the hose of the water so you can get hits.

DarthHookah Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 i havent noticed any significant difference in cold/ice water versus cool tap water. to me, its all psychological. it seems cooler/better because you think it is. i would like to one day conduct an empirical study on this, actually.

I only ask as the smoke has been formed by the cooking shisha(Tobacco) in the bowl then travells down the stem, hits the water and then collects within the cavity in the vase ?

EvansLight Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 When you heat the shisha up, you dont burn the tobacco (well some do, but there just crazy XD). When you take yourself a nice hit, you more or less boil off some of the juices (glycerin, flavourings, molasses or other) making a vapor. As the vapor cools, the glycerin condenses into a visible smoke. This is where the smoke from the hookah comes from, the gylcerin. As with all other vapors, the colder you get it, the more evaporated liquid you condense into a visible smoke. /End half alseep science babble XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokestar Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 PUTTING ICE IN THE HOOKAH DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IVE PUT PINEAPPLE JUICE IN THE VASE AND USED PINEAPPLE SHISHA. ITS GREAT.
