I can't really find to many threads that discuss the temp. of bong water... But, whenever I load up a Bong (usually homemade ones, but I use cheap acrylic or glass sometimes that usually don't belong to me) I always love to have SCALDING hot water... I'm talking so hot that you gotta hold the bottom of it with a towel or your shirt or something so it won't burn your bare hands.... Usually I get it to about the heat where it jussst starts burning your hands a bit... and I gotta keep changing hands... or like I said earlier.. hold it with something around your hands to protect them... And despite most of what I have read saying that ice cold water gives the best hits, hot water is so smooth, that its almost like breathing in shower vapor. (when you take a hot shower... that warm, water vapor fog that fills up the room) what do you guys think? Are me and my friends the only ones who like warm to hot water in their waterpipes or bongs? * I have read that the reason smoke makes you cough is due to the "drying effect" it has on the lungs... not how hot the smoke is.* * Also, would any of you more experienced tokers say that you would lose any potency from the smoke?*
If you are using glass (which you aren't) water that hot sounds like bad news bears. I wouldn't even want to take the risk of my glass shattering from the shock of hot water. I have tried warm water though, and I like it. Though my fiends hate it =/
yes! im trying to see what people think of it... and i guess it meets the specifications to be in all three sub forums
