That sounds like a really bad idea. If you had an ice chamber though, that would work.

Now thats a good idea... now I want an ice chamber hookah. I would put liquid nitrogen in it though. Putting it in the base is a neat idea too... but I think that would crack even my acrylic one.

wouldnt liquid nitrogen pretty much evaporate a few seconds after you poured it, unless ur sitting outside in the snow? i dunno about the evaporation point of nitrogen, but its pretty low, isnt it?


and if u have a QT, i think the ice chamber hookah-shisha co. sells fits on the QT

Check out the vid on break.com or youtube.com, the guys use the dry ice to inhale alcohol and get drunk. I dont know if its real. I dont relaly care to debate. I wouldn't personally doesn't seem wise, but the guys on youtube.com do it , and everything you see on the internet is true so what the hell. tongue.gif wink.gif wink.gif wink.gif wink.gif wink.gif

I have seen that video. The accuracy of the meter they are using is terrible. Plus in the instructions it says to wait 15 minutes after drinking or smoking anything to test your BAC. They blow alcohol across the sensor and now it needs to be recalibrated. Just get the idea of dry ice out of your head.

dry ice in water causes a violent reaction (anyone else ever make a dry ice bomb), so aside from the health dangers of smoking CO2, the sudden pressure build up of the the CO2 gas could cause water to bubble and shoot out the top of your stem ruining the tobacco, and would cause what ever smoke is in the base to be forced out of the hoses, so on a bonus you wouldnt have to inhale to get the smoke out, lol

good god son, do you have a death wish? Terrible idea, while I would love to have cold smoke its not exactly comfortable to inhale cold condensed smoke for a long period of time. I sort of feel like I have run 2 miles in the snow after taking a few big hits of freezing cold smoke.

Ever breathed a smoke from a smoke machine? Thats dry ice and its kinda gross to breath.


kinda moldy tasting huh? lol

I think Dry ice in a hookah with an ice chamber would prolly be the best alternative? maybe?

Actually, most smoke machines that you see at anything but the nicest theaters/events use a liquid that is vaporized using heat rather than dry ice. That stuff is pretty gross and has a distinctive smell/taste. Dry Ice vapor doesn't usually have such annoying properties.

I posted that vid on break.com about them using the dryice in the hookah.... They don't really get drunk. If they feel light headed? It's because CO2 poisoning.

And I wouldn't suggest dry ice outside the hookah either, might break the glass... but that's up to you I guess.

Just to put this out there, so there is no confusion: Carbon Dioxide (CO2) as in dry ice is very different from the much more dangerous carbon monoxide (CO). CO hogs space on the hemoglobin in your red blood cells, making it very difficult for your cells to receive the oxygen that they need, even if oxygen is available in the environment This is why we often refer to "carbon monoxide poisoning". CO2 inhalation is very different. The effects of inhaling CO2 are the same as the effects of failing to inhale oxygen. When this begins to hurt you, it's usually just referred to as "asphyxia" rather than "CO2 poisoning", and it's MUCH less dangerous than CO poisoning, because it is fixed fairly rapidly by getting fresh (CO2-low) air.
