i know you can run the risk of cracking a glass base if you drop the temp too fast... but i'm not sure about putting it in a bucket with ice. i'm guessing because hookah bases are generally thicker glass that you shouldn't worry about it too much.

btw... wisconsinites ftw!! Milwaukee here... yeah... it's pretty chilly out.

i realize that, but some people seemed to be talking about literally putting their hookah in a bucket with ice...

as for the one on the stem, I'd imagine a decent amount of ice in the base would do the same thing, but I'm sure it'd probably help, especially because the ice in the base seems to have a bad habit of melting rather quickly when i smoke.

i've actually been looking into a hookah with an ice chamber on it... haven't decided which route i want to go yet.

I have actually used an ice chamber, put ice in the base, and put my hookah in a bucket with ice all at the same time! I have an SS base, and I have never once had fear of it cracking. I usually freeze my base beforehand, however.

The smoke really is icey cold, espically if you have a diffuser, then you are in hookah heaven.

i live in wisconsin and it is currently like 10 degrees and under on average, would leaving my base outside have a possitive effect when i decide to smoke?

lol think of it as having a fridge outside! I would leave it outside for 20 minutes... then see what happens.

I left my hookah outside for about 2 hours as i ran errands in town, and i came home and sat down to some Al Waha Mint, that was the coldest smoke and the biggest plumes of smoke i think i have ever had. It was great, the glass of my hookah was all frosted up the entire time i smoke. I wish i would have thought to take some pictures.
