Hot Water in the Bong... The Revolution?

**phreakygoat** · 04-06-2009, 01:19 PM

Maybe I'm just crazy, or maybe my tastes are eccentric, but I really just prefer hot water in my bong compared to icy cold water. My reasons are thus:

1. The warm hit soothes my throat humidifier style, providing a more mellow feeling hit.
2. The higher temperature of the smoke actually seems to aid the size of the rip, instead of impede it as every one seems to think.
3. You can make refreshing teas, like chamomile, peppermint, or whatever other delicious flavor. Not only does this taste awesome, mint tea can help your throat if you are sick.
4. Most importantly: FLAVOR! just try the bong with really hot water with the best tasting weed, you'll see what I'm sayin.

Now, without

, speak up on why I'm crazy, what your favourite method is, or if you tried this just cause (especially the tea) and wanted to agree...

Really want to try hot water! Unfortunately I just finished scrapping and smoking the last bit of resin from my bowl... and I am broke until Friday!

Hot water bong rips are the best when you're feeling sick.
Cold water makes harsh nasty tasting hits in my experiences. I like suspended ice though, some bongs are specially made for this purpose, and they're awesome!

Otherwise just room temperature water, usually.

here's how I think it works . .

cold = most compressed smoke, most smoke.

hot = smoothest smoke, most filtered due to the higher temp of the water and increased solubility of carcinogens and bad shit.

Ok, I'm going to try this out in many different variations. Should I put ice along w/ my hot water??? How hot do you recommend, coffee hot?

IC... how would hot/cold work??? Like adding ice to my hot water.

eh, it would probably be room temp or slightly above room temp before dropping a little bit (depending on how much ice you put in that.) don't really see the point of putting ice in hot water.

I'm not mixing the ice w/ hot water haha... I'm using hot water, then the warm humid smoke cools through the ice as it goes up the catch. I actually took a hit of it, and I think I taste it a bit more, but that could just be the placebo affect kicking in lol
