I was just thinking about this and I think that it would be better to put in hot bong water instead of cold water. The water molecules would be more spread out and the water would absorb more tar. The steam would make it less harsh. What do you think?
ok lets say you have boiling water on the stove? Now pour it into your bong...if your bong is sorta cold or not near warm you could stress the glass. Or just think of how hot the steam would be? surely over 170 degrees F. Do you really want 170 degrees steam inside your lungs?
fuck brah, i always thought its about uber cold water for smoothness... guys i only vape these days do you think i should bring out a bong and hit a bowl of green with warm water?????????
Most recently ive been enjoying hot tap water with a couple orange peels... makes for a sweet tasting smooth hit Cheers.
Hot water works fine, boiling water would probably break your tube if it's cold. Hot Tea isn't a bad option either.
boiling water is a bad idea lol. in fact, about a month ago my room mate was cleaning his bong and he poured boiling water down the tube. we both heard a loud pop and saw a huge crack running down the side of the bong. the glass wasn't even cold(although it was thin), it was room temperature
I boil my water in my kettle, let it settle for 2 mins after boiling, pour it into my bong and add 2 drips of mint extract. I can easily take hits that are MUCH larger.
cold water all the way every time. i thought the point in a bong was so it cools the smoke down and filters it a bit.
Actually, the irritation is caused by the smoke drying out your throat, which hot water is better at helping. Also, a high quality (i.e. Pyrex) bong could have boiling hot water in it, as Pyrex is designed for lab experiments and can handle rapid temp changes.
I completely agree! I let the boiling water cool to the point where the temp is 75-90 degrees Celsius. Even acrylic will easily handle this.
