An ice bong is a bong with small indentations in the tube – these are called ice notches. Ice cubes rest on these notches, and the smoke passes through them on its way up. The result: a particularly cool, smooth draw that is much less harsh.
How does ice cooling work?
After water filtration, the smoke rises through the tube. If there are ice cubes there, it has to pass by them and cools down further in the process. So, a second cooling stage is added to the water filtration. Especially with large draws, this makes a noticeable difference – the smoke feels smooth and pleasant.
What do ice notches do?
The notches securely hold the ice cubes in place so that they don't slide into the water. Three inward-pulled points are usually sufficient. Cleanly crafted notches are important – poorly placed ones can weaken the glass. At EHLE., we pull them precisely and in a material-friendly way.
Who benefits from an ice bong?
For everyone who likes it particularly cool and smooth. If regular bong smoke is sometimes too warm or too harsh for you, the ice function is just your thing. Combined with a percolator, you'll get the maximum gentleness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does ice damage the glass?
Not with high-quality borosilicate glass – it is made for temperature differences. With cheap glass, however, cold plus heat can become a problem.
Can I use cold water instead of ice?
Cold water helps a little, but the ice effect is much stronger.
